TWO HUI DRIED ARE
OUT ON A STRIKE
BOIJ.F.RMAKERS AT LOCOMOTIVE
WORKS WALK OUT IN
SYMPATHY.

Two hundred boilermakers quit
their jobs at the Locomotive Works
yesterday to canvass the vote in the
on a sympathetic strike. upon orders
from the national headquarters of
the union. They did not wish to go
out, fer they had no personal griev-
ance. and were receiving good wages.
bur they followed the distates of the
union.
The cause of the strike is that the
Locomotive Works branch at Sche-
nectady, n. Y. accepted d certain
amount of work for the New York
Central Railroad. The boilermakers
of this shop are on strike, and when
the Locomotive Company was asked
boiiermakers union stepped in and
ordered a strike at Schenectady. Then
the Schenectady men thought the
Richmond men should come in with
them. and the walk-out here was or
dered.
While the walk-out will embarras
the local plant some. as there is lot
of work on hand, General Superin-
tendent Gary said last night that 1t
would be but for a day or two. as
there We're any number of boiler
makers. who would accept positions
with the Locomotive Works. He stated
that he would rather have the old
men back. but viii have nothing
furtehr to do with them as unionists
We will hold the jobs open a short
after, he said. The men admit
they have no personal grievance. We
are paving them what they ashland
We are giving them plenty of work.
We will hold the pohs open a short
while. But no more boilermakers

1t was stated last night that the
foreman was looking for men, so that
there would be no interruption In the
work now going on.
