President MoNeil Threatens to Oall On Bouthern Pacific Boiler Makers, TROUBLE OVER LOANING OF ENGINES Pres Pacific s Using Any Locomotives from Southern Road, but MeNetl Dentes that Unton Persints, A orisls is about to be reached In the Unlon Pacific strike, Indications which a fow days ago were thought to peint to an early adjustment of the difficulties, now | portend the mpread of the trouble to the i Bouthern Pacific, This menacing aspect is due to the Intreduction of Southern Pa- | eific engines on the Union Paocific, Presi- dont John ‘McNeil of the International Brotherhood of Boller Makers and Iron Shipbullders, working in unison with the oxocutive offcers of the blacksmithe and machinists, {s responeible for the statemen: that unless thess ongines are removed at once a strike will be declared which will tako from the Southern Pacific every boller makor in its employ. Similar action will be taken by the othor crafts, Following the concession of the Mil- waukee officials to remove the engine which they had loaned the Union Pactflo, President McNell resumed negotiations with President E. H. Harriman, at New York, for the withdrawal of the Bouthern Pacific locomotives. McNell yesterday rocelved a telegram from Prestdent Harrl- man denying that any Southern Pacifio engines are or had been in the mervice of the Unlon Pacific. He said the matter had been referred to President Burt, Presi- dont Burt is not in the eity, but fs ex- pocted back from the west in a day or 1 two, when the matter may be taken up t with him, not however As a means of de- termining action for the bofler makers, since they have already resolved that a gencral strike must follow on the Southern ! Pacific 1t Harriman persists in ignoring the demand, MeNelil Is Positive, McNell insists that he has positive in- formation that Southern Pacific engines have been and are now in use by the Union Peeific. He wired Mr. Harriman to this ef- yoct yesterday and added that thesq engines, ten in number, were made for the Southern { Pacific, but the Union Pacific fell tempo- | Tary heir to them. McNeil has telegraphed the leader of every local boller makers lodge on the Southern Pacific of the corre- | spondence between himselt and Harriman, and has instructed them to hold thelr re- spective lodges in readiness for a com- plete strike upoa an hour's notice. “I have apprised Mr. Harriman of my action,” sand Mr. McNell. “We know these engines are on the system, and If they are mot withdrawn without further delay I will forthwith call a strike that will take out every bofier makar on the Scuthern Pacific. We are not seeking, trouble; we have 'neyer ' sought {t. This strike was forced on us in the first place. We re- solved at the outset that no other road should join hands with the Unfon Pacific | agatost us if we could help it, and we are determined to stand by that resolution This is unfair, and wo cannot tolerate it. With a fair chance we can win this strike from the Union Pacific. However, if the Southern Pacific wants to cut in, it will | finfAitus equal to the oceasion, and no doubt much more formidable than might have been suspected. All ‘our men and those of the machinists and blacksmiths are more | determined today than they were last June thi ggle, bogan, and we will ot \,mn" u\: 'lr“q“ o «‘5 We are prepared for*a still longer fight, if necessary.” M’CABE COMES ON SATURDAY Methodist Episcopal Bishop Wil be in Omaha on Church Busines Bishop C.
