Railroad Employees in Mis-

to Quit Work.
OFFICIALS CONFIDENT
Train Service of Some Sort
Will Be Maintained If
Strike Comes.

IL the assertion or the press reEa rd-
ing the strike is founded on fact, we
will undoubtedly be notified officially.
At the present time, however, we are
without orders from headquarters and
are consequently unable to make defi-
mite arrangements for action"
That was the announcement made
yesterday by F. H. Murphy Of the
Order OF Railway Conductors. Mr.
Murphy. who Is chairman of the con-
ductors' grievance committee, acted as
spokesman for all the orders in the
interview and his statement was
backed by members Of the other Or
CARNATIONS.
Leaders in Conferences.
A conference of the local leaders of
the railway mems unions was held
Yesterday afternoon but nothing was
accomplished. The report that the
strike for this section would be called
at O'Clock this evening was denied,
the men saying that they were unable
to make any such arrangements for
the lack of official notification. They
say that the only knowledge they have
of the calling Of the strike is that
which they have been able to gain
from the newspapers.
Officials UNIFORMED.
The railway officials also report that
no official notices have been sent out
from the company headquarters other
than that of the calling of the strike
and the 4S-hour postponement The
latter notice did not reach here until
last evening, although it had been an
nounced by the press several hours
before
Railroads Confident.
That Missoula will be seriously af-
fected by the strike, If it Is called at
all, is discounted by the statements
made by railway officials yesterday.
Superintendent +. f. Willard Of this
division OF the Milwaukee said that
traffic on the line would be but slight
ly, If at all. retarded.
We do not anticipate any trouble
in handling our traffic on the regular
schedule" he said "Our men will
stand with us. There will he no need
for reorganization. We have not made
any plans for action in event the strike
Is called for the reason that there will
be no need for such action"
Superintendent T. F. Lowry of the
Northern Pacific is also optimistic in
his outlook upon the situation In an
interview yesterday afternoon he said:
we will undertake to run the same
as before, although it is possible that
there Will be more or less delay in the
handling Of the freight. Many Of our
present employees between 80 and 40
per cent, will stay with us, and with
mat number we will be able to keen
nearly even with the schedules It
WILL or course. take US three or four
days in which to reorganizc our farce
IN the event that the ranks of the
trainmen are greatly depleted by the
cah IS our understanding that
there Will be no interruption OF the
passenger service. but, even if there
Is, We will be able to run at least a
part Of our trains"
Mail and express service Is prac.
tically assured. The unions state that
the passenger crews will be subject To
second call only, while the railway Of
flclals say that they will he able TO
maintain this department even though
the freight service is crippled,

MEN NOT TOLD TO WALK OUT;
MISSOULA WELL PROVISIONED|
MOVIES WILL RUN:
VAUDEVILLE CAN'T
Strike Won't Affect Mails or
Modistes or Meals.

Flicker fans need not worry in
case of strike, according to local
movie magnatcs. Since the first of
February the majority of films
have been shipped via Uncle Sans
parcel post. and the movie men are
willing to let the federal authori-
ties take care of all the film trans
portation business there is, and as
the daily mail is assured. they wear
an Il should worry" expression. OF
course, a strike will cause the can
collation. of the three vaudeville
shows which perform in the city
every week.
AS for the bread supply there is
no cause for worry. The Garden
City bakery has enough flour on
hand to run for at least two
months and the other bakeries are
fairly well supplied.
W VI u
ticup, local lnodistcs and fashion
store propretors scout the idea
that the annual Easter parade, the
fashion event of the year, might
be sadly married through the de-
lay of the garments in transit.
While a considera BILE part of our
Easter stock is yet on the road
said a local dealer we expect that
a strike would not delay the arrival
of 1t more than a week, as the rail-
way officials say that they can
clear any congestion caused by Il
temporary strike of the brother
hoods, in a week or less, and have
all freight rolling inside of that
period of time
There will be fairly regular mail
service, according to local postof-
flee officials, who say that the
government has made all necessary
preparations for the handling of
mail. At the time of the former
strike scare, private orders re-
gardng the mails were issued to
every postmas ter, and these have
been repeated now.
