—— ESTKIKE T0 TURN THIS WEEK ' Will Either Bo Brought to Oloss or Oon- : tinned and Extended. f PRESIDENT M'NEIL MAKES STATEMENT Says Boller Makers South y ©ific Are Ready to Walk Out the Moment They Get Word trom mi The Unlon Pacifio strike, having reached its crists, now rests on a pivot. At ome end of the balance is the settlement of this long and stubborn battle; at the other & continuation and extension to the entire Harriman system of ratiroads. A state of equilibrium seema to obtain, the atrikers hope for peace, but fear more trouble. The ;Tallroad officials affect that same air of careless unconcern that has marked their conduct from the firet, but with President Burt. hastening on to New York to see Wwhat can be done toward a settlement this 8pothy around headquarters looks rather ahamlike. “Some vital turn will come about by (ma middle of the week, we confidently ex- | peet,” sald President McNell of the boller makers last night, before his departure for Kansas City, his home, where he was oalled on a brief mission. “We think something will happen by Wednesday. We expect to hear from President Burt by that time. We hope and are almost ready to lend ourselves to the bellef that the end is in sight. However, we are prepared for the other result if it comes. We stand right where we have on this engine propo- sitian, which now seems to be the ohiet element of trouble. If Harriman does not decido to withdraw those engines I will declare a strike of the boller makers all over the system, and they have given me thelr word that they will respond to my feall without a moment's hesitation.” Mr. McNefl will City at once and remain here until some decisive course has beem reached. Meeting ( at Labor Temple. The boller makers and their helpers yes- terday beld a long meeting at Labor tem- (bln and reviewed the genecral situstion. The boiler makers, through President Mc- | Nefl and President Kennedy of the local and district lodges, laid all the matters Which they have under advisement before the helpers, and the helpers’ president, Dave O'Donnell, reported his part In the conference with President Burt Saturday, {When McNeil and Kennedy were received. The machinists are still as active and | aggressive as ever, as also are the black- smiths, and there s harmony between all the crafts. They are working in co-op- j@ration and it is evident that if the boller makers should go out on the Southern Pa- cific and other Harriman lines the ma- chinists and blackemiths will act like- wise. A letter was recelved by the machinists !'yesterday from their international presi- dent, James O'Connell, at Washington, In which Mr. O'Connell assures them that he and the other grand lodge officers are ex- erting every possible effort in behalt of the Union Pacific strikers and have influ- PDces at work with proper parties which ught o yleld favorable results. Presi- dent O'Connell urged Vice President Wil- #on and the other machinists to obsorve (the most conservative and cautious meth- |©ds in all their dellberations. He In- | sists that it is time to move slowly and carefully and discourages anything like radical action, Should negotiations for settlement fall nd the strike be extended to the Southern [ Pacific 1t will add to the ranks of the strikiog botler makers 150, wnd It the ma- - <hinists strike 700 of them.

Every effort was made by the packers, the Union Stock Yards company and other corporations Interested to induce the railroads to hurry forward hipments. The result was that for the time being, at least, the situation is better than it has been for some time. One of the packers sald to a Bee reporter last night that there was no fear now of the plants being shut down for lack of fuel. It was true, ho said, that cars originally destined for use In the west had been di- verted east. This made a shortage of cars, but now coal for all of the packers is on track and enroute. Yesterday's storm s Dot considered, as the fall of snow, It was stated at the raflroad offices, was not heavy enough to delay traflc for any extendod time. There s, however, another proposition confronting the packers and many citizens. This is the scarcity of wood. The packers require a great deal of wood—oak and hickory to smoke meats, and many cords of wood are still burned in old-fashioned stoves by residents. The most of the wood used In South Omaha comes from Mis- sourl. It was stated by one dealer last night that it had been impossible to get wood from Missour! for some time in quan- tities amounting to anything, on account of the wet ground. The summer and fall were wet seasons and the ground has not frozen to any depth so far, so that the hauling of wood has been delayed. Packers have ordered wood from other portions of the country, 80 that it will hardly be neces- sary to wait long for the usual supply from Missouri, as the northern roads appear to | be in better condition than those south of | Omabha. Subst b 1 Gy G te Carrfer Named. Postmaster Etter has named Charles E. Gowe, substituto No. 1, to take the place of John C. Gammill, pending a settlement for ment. According to the authorities, Mr, stands suspended until he cl himself of the charges made against him by Inspectors Sinclair and Swift. Yesterday considerable evidence was secured by the government against Gammill, which it s supposed will be brought out when he is arraigned in federal court for & hearing. There was considerable talk on the stroets yesterday about Gammill, as he was 80 well known, having carried mail here for over twelve years. All of his friends seemed surprised by the charge that he had neglected his duties, especially as he | was one of the oldest carrlers In South | Omaha, and was supposed to know what | was required of him. st my My ms 18 Mayor May Appoint. It is possible that at tonight's meeting | ™ of the council the mayor may name a stock examiner. The mandamus sult brought by Clark Howard was dismissed by the attorney representing Howard, as it was found that Howard had no standing in court, It being impossible to find any record of his original appointment. As it is deemed necessary for the pro- tection of the city's rights fn condemn- ing cattle, etc., it is reported that Mayor Koutsky may appoint a stock examiner, | ity It on, of ca against the city. The mayor says that he cannot see why the city should pay $50 a his time at the yards. “If the stock yards | w people want an examiner I will appoint one,” sald the mayor last night, “but I will not burden the city with a salary of $50 a month for a man who performs no duties east of the track Should the Unlon Stock Yards company decide to comply with the ultimatum of Mayor Koutsky an inspector may be ap- | pointed tonight.
