Made Request Saturday.
Last Saturday the engineers switc l.
men, firemen and conductors present
ed request to the owner of the line,
asking that they be given an oppor-
tunity to consult with the officials of
the interurban system. looking toward
an agreement whereby the working
conditions of the men might be inn
proved and slight increase in wages
granted. 1t was stipulated in the re-
quest, according to men now out on
the strike, that the period for consid-
GRAFTON on the matter would end at
noon Tuesday. At that time no mt
nation had come from Page that he
was willing to give the union men an
audience and they were informed that
they could take their complaints ana
60 to warmer place than Sand
Springs.
They struck.
No sooner had they left their en-
gines and coaches than a hurry-up
call was sent out for men who had
been discharged from the same posi-
tions for violating rules of the com
pany for participating in wrecks and
the like, and these men were offered
their old Jobs If they would return to
work. Even this procedure did not fill
the vacancies occasioned by the
strike, with the result that negroes
were placed on some OF the engines
and given places as conductors and
swltchmen.
General Tic-up.
Their inability, however, to handle
the equipment resulted in general
tie-up OF the movement of shipments
from other lines to and from the sand
Springs line, and when the workmei
of other establishments, such as the
Waters Pierce oil refinery. heard o.
the action OF Page in putting negroes
to work as breakers in thu
place of white men, they called upor
the officials of their companies t
close the switch gates to the negro
crews. AS a result no shi pments from
any Of these Industrial plants. witt
the exception of the smelter which Il
controlled by Page, were moved thru
out the night of Tuesday, Wednesday
or last night.
The things for which the men are
holding out are the privilege of en-
tering into an agreement with th'
operator which will assure them some
kind Of protection, and the granting
of an increase in pay to correspond
with that paid on all standard rail
way lines.
