San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 2S.-Presi-
dent E. L. Reguin, of the Federation OF
Shop Employees of the Hartman lines,
said today that all negotiations with
Julius Kruttschnitt. the general man
ager of these lines, now in this city,
have been passed upon by the officials
of the international union, who are
expected to arrive here tomorrow.
Inasmuch as Mr.. Kruttschnitt has
said that he would treat with the in
dividual unions, Reguin said that he
would not complieate the situation by
calling officially on Mr. Kruttschnitt
at this time The international union
officers represent the five crafts com
posing the federation, and they will,
according to Reguin, handle the feder-
atoms business.
Unions Would Dictate.
That the success of the federation
of the shop employees of the Harri-
man lines in demanding recognition
by the Hartman roads would place
the unions in absolute control of the
railroad business of the country, was
the assertion of Julius Kruttschnitt,
vice president of the Hartman lines,
when he arrived in San Francisco on
q special train from Chicago last
night.
Railway officials are quasipublic
officials" he added, land our duty to
the public compels US to take firm
stand in these matters. We concede
that unionism has come to stay, and
we are ready to meet union men as
such, but we also realize our duty to
the public.
1.-The proposed federation of all the
railroad craftsmen, If contaminated,
would place them in absolute control
s'Misstatements have been made in
the declaration that have refused to
see representatives of the federation.
No man representing himself as the
agent of such an organization has

attend the conference with julius
Kruttschnitt, vice president and d.
rector of maintenance and operation
of the Hartman lines, in an effort
to induce the railroad managers to
meet with federated union committees
on the strike situation.
Mr.. Kline said the managers in con-
senting to meet the committee rep
resenting the federation would go a
long way toward a peaceful solution
of the difficulty the roads now are
facing, but declared that recognition
is not the only point the men are
after.
The men, he said. are asking for an
eight hour day, wage increase vary
ing from to cents an hour and
the abolition Of the personal record"
system of the Union Pacific and South

The ".personal record" system niw
is in force in certain of the Southern
Pacific shops and is being extended
and the men say IT amounts in reality
to a blacklist
No Strike Expected.
Laramie, Wyo., Ang. 2S.-Machinists
and others deny that any vote has
been taken in the Union Pacific shops
here to go on strike, or that there
has been serious talk OF a strike The
matter. they say. is receiving more at

themselves are giving 1t, many express
