DENOUNCED BY
RAIL OFFICIAL
Action of Trainmen In
excusable, Says
A. G.. Wells.

Chicago, Aug. 13-The action OF
members of the big four" brother
hoods in abandoning through passenger
tranis at Needles, Ariz.; Barstow
Cal. and Seligman. Ariz, was de-
nounced Sunday night as a deliberate
conspiracy, a violation of their sol
emn agreements with the railroad and
an inhuman act by a. G. Wells. vice
president of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe railway.
None of the reasons given for these
lawless acts is valid" Mr.. Wells de-
clared. The Santa Fe has asked no
man to take out unsafe equipment. 1t
has no unsafe equipment Inspectors
of the bureau of safety. interstate COM
merce commission. have made many in
spections recently of the Santa Fe
power and given the company a clean
bill of health.
THE strikers have given no specifi-
cations as to unsafe equipment or I'M
safe conditions in the environment
where the strike took place. For justi-
fication of their lawless and inhuman
conduct, at Needles and other desert
places, they are driven to refer to some
bomb throwing a few days ago at San
Bernardino, go miles away from Nee
dies, where the trouble has not been
of sort to induce train service men
to refuse to perform their accustomed
duties, and which incidentally occurred
subsequent to the calling of the strike
at Needles
After abandoning trains filled with
people, including aged, infirm, women
and children. in the desert with the
mercury at 12O in the shade. the strike
committee of the Big Four in session
at Needles received q committee of
five. representing the marooned pas
sengers. who asked them to man the
rains to help the sufferers They were
told that mot a damned wheel would
turn until the Santa Fe removed the
guards about its yards

Developments of the last twelve
hours have been gratifying and portend
an end to the long strike that is now
entering its twentieth week." Mr.. Lewis
said
The nature of the developments in
the soft coal situation were withheld
by Mr. Lewis.

statement as ITO important develop
