BAMBERGER LINE ASKS
CONDEMNATION Of LAND
Needs Strip of Adjoining Property for
Installation Of Double
Track.

The Salt Lake & Ogden Railroad
company brought suit in the district
court yesterday against the Salt Lake
& Jordan Mill & Elevator company to
condemn lands needed by the railroad
as additional right of way. The rail-
road asks for a strip of land 15 feet
wide on either side of its present right
of way from Fifth North street TO the
city limits along Third West street.
In asking for the condemnation Of
this land, the railroad company says
il is necessary to get a wider roadway
on account of its plans to make a
double track through TO the city limits
The need for poles TO carry high ten
sion power also contributes to the ne
cessity in the case.
The railroad company saws il has
already erected some poles on the
land owned by the elevator company,
and the owner of the land threatens
TO cut the poles down. In asking for
an order restraining such action, the
railroad company says it has tried to
buy the land. and its Overtures were
not considered by the elevator COM
pany. The land Involved is less than
one acre.

WORKERS QUIT AT
KEARNS BUILDING
Thirty Walk Out as Soon as
Non Union Wireihen Are
Put on Job.
OTHERS TO FOLLOW SOON
BUILDING TRADES COUNCIL
HAS GIVEN SYMPATHY.

As a result OF an attempt on the
part OF the electrical contractors 10
put in non-union electrical workers
on the inside wiring of the KeaPas
building yesterday. thirty employees
of the National FireproOf company
who are doing the greater part Of the
work on the building, walked out at
$3.50 O'Clock. The probabilities are
mat the remaining union men on the
job will walk out Monday Trouble
between the strikers and the nom
union men was prevented by he pres
ence Of three policemen on the Job.
he direct cause of the wslkout
yesterday was a clause in the cOnsti-
tuition of the National FireproOf
Workers union which prevents mem
Ders from working Oh Jobs where
'scab" men are employed
Trouble Began in May.
The union inside wiremen struck
on May 2S for recognition Of their
union and for increase in wages. The
chief grievance was the recognition
of the union. On TWO different occa-
sions the union men have offered to
compromise with the contractors and
go back to work, with a closed shop,
pending a final adjusting of the diff
ficulties. The contractors refused to
recognize the union in any way and
do not officially recognize the exist
ence of a strike.
Following the refusal of the con-
tractors to meet with the striking III
side wiremen, the Salt Lake Building
Trades Council took the matter up
and give the electricians their
moral support, which means that
unless their demands are granted a
sympathetic strike of all union men
In the Building Trades Council would
be called if the contractors put nom
union men to work.
On several occasions the contract
ors have stated that electrical work
ers would be put On the building On
the first attempt the nOn-union men
were driven from the job by the
structural iron workers. Upon ad-
vice from the general contractor, the
non-union men were kept off the job
until the iron workers had completed
their work
Policemen ON Hand.
The brick masOns, the plasterers,
the bod carriers and the men COM
pleting the structural work quit work
OF noon yesterday. Shortly after the
end of the noon hour twelve nom
union Wtremen were sent on the job
by the contractors. AS soon as their
presence was known by the WOrkmen
doing the fiTeprOOf work the latter
left the job. When the non-union
men were sent 10 the building three
policemen, who are said to have had
blank warrants. were on hand TO
keep peace, and il is presumed 10 ar
rest any one who might interfere
with the electrical workers.
From the action taken by the men
doing the fireproof work it is stated
by the union , men that a general
walkOut Will be called for Monday If
the nOn-uniOn electrical workers are
on the job. If this action is taken ii
will mean that work on the Kearns
building will be tied up indefinitely
or the electrical contractors will have
TO accede 10 the demands of the
union men.
