STRIKERS GET THE BENEFIT essment of its errors, to compel ssment. iv e ieiped by ‘Which Reduces Fore: Injunction, op Strikers claim to be reaping benefits from the Union Pacific’s injunction. Aside from the forty men who they sald left the Omaha shops Wednesday, others, according to the claims of the pickets, went out yesterday morning and those who are still inside are reatless as a result of the wave of immigra- tlon that has been set in motion. As was stated from an interview with one of the men who left; the #hops Wednesday, these men now feel a greater degree of security In coming out since the restraining order has been issued, belleving, of course the reperts &lven them of the desperate character of the strikers and the injunction will have a tendency to suppress all violence, There {s something strange about this movément of men to and from the shops. Pickets who stood at or near the shop yard entrances all day Wednesday stated that as high as forty desertlons decurred during the day and reporters met and talked with many men at Lavor temple who sald they had just left the shops. Yet, on the other hand, officials of the Union Pacific dispute all claims of desertions and hold that their shop forces are not diminished or reduced in the least. One of the highest officials vesterday sald: “You tell us forty men left the shops, but we have not missed ome." Again the statement has been made by a member of the svverintendent of motive power staff that the shop forces here ars up to the normal In numbers and efficiency and have been for several weeks. Events of the last few days have challenged this statement, however. Durfng the inquest over the body of Earl Caldwell Tuesday, one of 11« Union Pacific guards who testified, iuformed the jury in answer to a question by the attorney for the strikers, that In the blacksmith de- partment where he had been employed, there are now and have been for some timo all told, thirty men. This lacks consider- able of belng a normal force. When the strike began this department contained about seventy-five me ‘Whether the forces are up to the ard or not, the company continues increasing them by lmporting mew men. A large sbipment of men was due and they are said to bave arrived from the east yesterday. There were to be fifty-eight in all, forty from Buffalo and elghteen from New York, according to Information received by strikers from thelr union hrethren in these two elties. United States Marshal Mathews has not yet completed the service of his injunctions. It bas been impossible for the strike leaders to got all their men together for this purpose and the marshal was at Labor Temple yesterday dist:ibuting writs to some of the stragglers. Charles Pospisil, one of the strikers whom the coroner's jury in the Caldwell inques recommended be held for further invest| gation, altbough not implicated in the orls bas been released from custody on 95,000 batl.

The two priests will leave for Manila withiu the next {wo weeks and will be followed In a short time, it Is belleved, by scveral other American Augustinfans. Both clergy- men chosen are distinguished and able members of the order. They were selected from among ahout a dozen volunteers who offered their services io the prior general in case he needed American Augustinians Many of the Spanish |friars in the Philippines belong to the order. ‘We go there to carry out the program which has been decided on by the prior sald Father Mahoney this even- “We are fully cognizant of the great work done by the friars of our and other orders in the Philippines and go to them as brothers working in tha same cause.

The American government has appealed to him, and rightly so, to set- tle the troubles in the Philippines. We have no fear of the outcome. Prejudice and cant must be put aside and the facts only considered. God-fearing men will do right and justice, Unfortunately, nearly all the statements furnished from abroad to.the America press on the friar question are filed with calumny and mendacity in re- gard to the friars In the islands. We do not blame the Philippine commission for any of the opinions that body holds for we know the information furnished it wae mainly obtained from our enemies, men who have stopped at nothing to vility and malign our brothers.
