NAMES OF PICKETS WANTED Unien Pacific Offlvials Out to Identify Leaders of the Btrike. s trom Ohio Who Sald They Brought Here by False Rep- n Transpor- tation to Chicago. Official inquiry by the Union Pacific to the number and names of the strikers ;nmu where the strike exists has aroused another ray of hope among the former | shopmen that a settlement of the long { pending difficulty is being contemplated by the company. It is believed that the of- | ficlals want the names of the men who |have been most aggressive in the fight | agalnst the company for future reference and the supposed desire for these names at this time is taken as evidence of t Union Pacific's Intention to bring about an early termination of the confiict. The strikers assert their willingness to disclose the pames of all their leaders and say that If the officials will apply to their sec- retaries they will furnish correct lists of | | the pickets and other leaders. | While all such incidents as this seem to | reveal the anxlety of the strikers to bave the strike settled, the men assert their de- }term\nlllnn to wait on the company for the first step in this direction. ' parently are as firm in their positions as they were at the outset. The same may be said of the officials of the company. Notwithstanding these facts, however, there is & prevailing impression that influences are at work for a settlement of the strike \and that before many weeks the end will come. Men at Cheyemme Quit. | Strikers are jubllant over the reports { from Cheyenne that fifty nonunion men have left the shops there this week, thirty- five on one day and fifteen on amother. These desertions from the Cheyenne shops | are attributed to the introduction of plece- work. No serious defections have occurred | at the Omaha shops for a week past, but a | number of additions have been made to | the forces. Another carload of men 1s ex- pected to arrive from Boston Saturday. | The strikers have received information to this effect. The four men who left the crowd !m- ported from Cincinnati Thursday and threat- ened suit against the company &s & means of remunerating them for their time and wages lost iu coming to Omaha to accept work io the shops here made their griev- ances known to the Unlon Pacific official declaring they had been decelved by the agent, who told them there was no strike in existence, and demanded pay for the time lost and their tramsportation back to their homes. They were offered transporta- tion as far back as Chicago, which they finally accepted and left the city. Status of Bullders’ Strike. The status of the bulldes new Omaha shops remains unchanged. The company says enough bricklayers are at work to do all that is to be done and that the other work is mot suferivg. It is & fact, though, that the laborers and car- | penters still refuse to take up their tools. A bitter feeling has been eungendered against | the union bricklayers who returned to werk after the strike was declared. They are CINCINNATI MEN ARE SENT HOMEWARD. | pickets in Omaha and other cities and | They ap- | | when some vital, andl, it Is hoped, | overcrowded. T aon at the meeting of theicouncil next Tuesday, satis- factory, action will be taken. There is sald to be a dearth of union bricklayers just now over the country and it 18 expected that unless the trouble here is settled within a few days some of the bricklayers ou a strike will go elsewhere and secure work, if'they want it. From Creston, la., comes a call for a la | number of bricklayers at 66 cents an hour, nine hours a day, for the government buliding being erected there. Superintendent McKeen of the motive power department of the Union Pacific is | 8till out on the road and it was learned at his office yesterday that he is not expected to return to Omaha for ten days yet. ORDERS STRIKERS TO WORK Viee President Sends U of Machin: ded Telegrams to Montana. Union The strike of the 200 machinfsts on the Northern Pacific at Livingston, Mont., le attracting considerable attention among the Unlon Pacific strikers. The Northern Pa- cific machinists struck because the master mechanic discharged the chalrman of thei shop committee, and claim tha' ‘his di charge was the result of personal animosity. General Manager Cooper of the Northern Pacific admits that the master mechanic discharged this man, but in & lengthy telegram to Vice President Wilson of the machinists, whose jurisdiction extends to that system, s that the chairman of the shop committee for the machinists was Qischarged for loafing. Wilson has wired twice within the last forty-elght hours to the machinists order- ing. them back to work, and both com- mands have been disobeyed. The strikers declare they will not return to work until | their man is reinstated. the machinists are in the wrong, telograpbed the third time last night for them to return to work, and unless this Admitting that order is complied with by this morning he | will make & trip to Livingston to give th matter personal attention SCHOOLS MAY BE CROWDED Only Ome Additional Room Added to Accommodat Vacation T When the public schools open Monday t it will be with practically as last year. There has been one room added to the Saratoga school during the vacation, giving that bullding an fincreased from forty to fifty puplls, which was badly needed, and it may be found necessary to provide additional room outside for some of the other schools. The aggregate enroliment of the schools last year was nearly 20,000 and it is but reasonable to presume that there will be more or less of an increase this year. Last year none of the buildings had any surplus room and & sumber of them were e Such was the case at the | Kellom and Long schools, and the Park strike at the | being designated by their fellows who are i | still out as “scabs.’” H. B. Hinton, secre- | tary ofl the Building Trades council, which organization is directing this strike, says that this matter will be taken up agalm school for a portion of the year. The Monmouth Park bullding was crowded at all times throughout the year and so we: the Central and Leaveaworth. Superintendent Pearse reports that there 1s but a small proportion of the teachers who will not be able to begin their duties at the opening of the schools on Mouday. About four or five are 1ll, but their places bave been temporarily supplied.

DIRECTORS NOW IN ANNUAL SESSION Western Ro: Facing Serious Prob- lem in Matter of Tramsportation Vast Grain Crop—Wal Has Prosperous Month al meeting of the directors of terday in Chicago. More vital interests than bave been considered at any meeting of the Stickney directorate in recent years it is sald, came before this meeting. Mat- ters of future policy were to be acted upon and in this counection it was reported that President Stickney's oft-reported pur- pose of selling the road may come In for serious consideration. It is mo unpopular bellef among raliroad men that, despite the somewhat aggressive extension policy on which the Great Western has recently | launched, its sagacious executive still has his eye upon a prospective purchaser, and it is held In some quarters that the build- ing of the Fort Dodge & Omaha extension is really a part of the plan to place the road on the market to be sold to the high- 1‘9-1 pidder. The recent precipitation of | freight rates on packing products, which created a real sensation in the transports tion world of the west, is pointed to as another element of this scheme. A day or two ago, just i time to give free and unrestricted circulation to the | story before the meeting was held, it was given cut that the annual report to be presented by President Stickney to this | meeting of the directors would show a | most flattering condition of affairs. It {'was sald this report would show that the road had enjoyed a year of most remark- able success, which gave it an excellent chance for the new year. Notwithstanding "thll statement, however, the sarnings for the month of August of the Great Western show & decrease of $56,505 in gross and | 962,832 In the. met income as ocompared | with the corresponding month last year. FProblem of Crop Movement. All thé western roads, especlally the Omaha-Chicago lines, are facing & serious problem in the matter of transporting the vast grain crop. An official of one of these | lines is authority for the statement that every road will be taxed to its utmost to accommodate the trade it will be called upon to accept. He believes that the strain will pro ie not pessimistic as to the ability of the rallroads to solve the problem, or, in oth words, he belleves they will be able to get the grain to market in good shape. “For some time the roads have been pre- paring for this increased traffic,” he said. “All the extra cars and engines and other facilities that can be mustered inte service bave been placed where they can be drafted when the time comes and it is doubtful it all the roads have as yet proven their ability to command all the cars necessary, but I belleve this will be done in time and that mo actual dearth of cars will be ex- perienced or at least mo dearth serlous enough to keep the grain away from market when it ¢hould be transported. Complal s Agninst Rate R There 1s still considerable dissatisfaction among the frelght iuen over the grain rats Many are complaining that they are too low snd them, but thus far without avail.

It has been the theory ever since Hill conceded to the farmers of the Pacific northwest the reductions in gr: rates that his purpose in so readily granting these de- mands was to divert grain to Duluth, which would otherwise go into Chicago. Wabash is Prosperous. The Wabash made its greatest financial record during the month of August. This month goes down in the history of the Ramsey road as the banner montb.
