SANTA F DEMANDS

CHICAGO, Aug. IA demand that the chiefs of the big four ! !brotherhoods take steps to immed- lately end what he denounced as the lawless and inhuman violation of their contracts by the train service crews of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad was made tonight by A. c. Wells, vice-president of the road.
 In te1egrams addressed to Warren IS. Stone, head of the engineers, D. B. Robertson of the firemen, w. C.. Lee of the trainmen and L. E. Shep- .pard of the conductors, he asked them whether they would get their men back to work, supply other men to take their places or shall the company proceed at once to accept the only alternative left in its duty to the public and engage the services of men to ill the places of those on striker"
 T desire an explicit answer on thii point the message ended.
 After noting the threatened spread of the sympathetic and illegal' strike of brotherhood members to- morrow in northern California, the message continued.
 At 7 o'clock last night our super intendent at Winslow, Ariz., was handed the following:
 "'Effective p. m August 13, ow- ing to the general unsafe condition of equipment and improper brake in spection of trains of which we have sufficient individual protests on file, and copies sent to our general chair men, we deem it necessary to with draw our services from the Atchison, Topeka &, Santa Fe railway at this point until equipment is placed in a safe condition and competent men placed on inspection ot trans satls- factory to the following general grievance committee of the coast lines, Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen and Enginemen, Brother hood of Locomotive Enginemen, Brotherhood of Rainroad Conductors and Brotherhood of Railroad Train men, and all men returned to work with full seniority rights

HLBDARD PROTESTS EQUIPMENT B SAFE
Associated Press Night Wirel

ALBUQUERQUE, Aug. IA. - A bulletin posted on Santa Fe bulletin boards here tonight, addressed to all train, engine and yardmen, signed by IT, L. Hubbard, general manager of the Santa Fe coast lines, Los Ange- les declared:
 Our equipment is not unsafe Each and every man handling the same knows that its condition is bet ter than that of the average roads throughout the United States and that there is no menace to your safe ty because of handling the same or because of guards"
 This was interpreted as being a denial of claims of the big four brotherhoods that equipment is un- safe, which they are understood to have assigned as one of their reasons for striking. Mir. Hubbard calls at tention to the fact that movement of through freight and passenger trains has been interrupted since August 10 because of an unorganized sympa- thetic strike inaugurated at Needles Calif., I feel that many of our men lare opposed to this unfortunate and Iunwarranted interruption to the serv- ice and are being forced into the movement by the radicals" he said Many of you were here in 1894 when a sympathetic strike was urged and it was not necessary to call your attention to what happened at that time.'
 Mr. Hubbard urged those who were not in sympathy with this "outlaw" movement to give most thorough Consideration to this matter before joining the rest of the strikers. "The railroad must function as a common carrier" he said, and if you with draw your services then nothing re- mains for us to do but make the en- deavor to carry on the service to do

 MT. Sheppard, like other union officials, refrained from specifically indicating what basis was being considered for further compromise attempts.
 The meeting with the president was arranged by Secretary Of Labor Davis after all the union chiefs including those on strike had been in one of their general executive sessions.
 'It has been much the same story. We have been discussing the whole situation from top to bottom and now we are going to look for somebody to give us help in our mediation attempts" MT. Sheppard declared. That means some railroad executives are not so tenacious of their points as those we have seen. We shall talk
