The interest manifested by the teachers shows that thrv are in earnest and the result will be better schools in our county during the coming year. No Change in Conditions. The past lour days has seen little change in the local condition of the Union Pacific strike. The machinists and boilcrinakcrs arc standing firm, and the company has apparently made no attempt to supply the places of the strikers The forces at work in the shops arc the same as they were the latter part ot last week. It was rumored that the blacksmiths would organize, but it cannot be learned that they have done so. It is apparent that the motive power is getting in bad shape, the force at work in the shops being unable to keep up the needed re pairs. It is reported that two en gines have "died" 011 the road dur ing the past thirty-Bix hours, and that freight engines will be put into passenger service in order to keep trams moving. Ncaily all passenger trains during the past two days have been late, but this has not aUvayB been due to the con dition of the motive power. The machinists arc confident that the company must come to their terms and that they will win cut. Each day their opposition to the piece-work pystcm becomes stronger, and as the workings of that r-ystem are explained to busi ness men and others, the stronger grows the bond ot sympauiy oc- tween the strikers and the citizens at large. The men argue that if they lose the fight and the piece work system is adopted, the North Platte bhops will bcco.t.ewbat is known as "grub-stake bhops." That is the employes will consist of young men who will accept work for a mouth, then draw their pay and leave. This class of employes would be of little benefit to the town as compared with the present class ot employes who arc 1'irgely married men with tamilics. The strikers remain orderly and gentlemanly in their conduct. Each day a meeting of the machinists is held to hear the bulletins from other points which are received from headquarters, The local strike is under the direction ot smi executive board or five tneinbcrH, each of whom arc conservative men, and the actions of the bttikers are under the absolute control of that bjard. CAR MEN SATISFIED. The Omaha Bee this morning slates that the Union Pacific car men have decided to remain at work. This action was taken yes terday after a conlercnce of the committee with Mr. McKccu. The proposition, szyi the Bee, which the car builders agree to and pro pose to work under lor one year it the same as that entered into with the official some two weeks ago, except that it contains a piecework proviso. The company guarantee lhat every man shall make at least as much as thry did under the old daily wage scale and will get a premium for all over ?3 a day. The system is properly termed a prem ium rather then a piecework scale. STRIKE NEWS. From today's Omaha News: Switchmen working in the Omaha and Council Bluffs yards havellatly refused to handle any more non union men brought in by the Union Pacific. ..A lourth bunch of non union men is reported to be due in Omaha today. The first two lots came from Chicago and the third from Cleveland.... Several of the imported men have deserted. One ot them who visited strike head quarters baid: "About forty men have been brought in from the out side. Of this numlcr five have quit. Of those who remain two are machinists and one is a boiler maker. At least ten never belote saw the inside of a bhop. Many are nondescripts. Since tliene men went to woik fiye machines have broken.". ...Developments of Sat urday and today indicate that the Union Pacific intends to make Grand Island temporary head quarters for repairs to tolling block during the strike, EHjrU were made Saturday to employ all of the machiuibtsiaud blacksmiths of Grand Island and vicinity for work there- WILSON'S STATEMENT. Vice-president Wilson.of the Ma chinistb' union, who is directing tlic strike, authorized the lollowiug statement yesterday: Tho eeoond week or the strike finds tho Union I'ncillo in worro condition, after 11 one week light, thou any railroad I have seen under similar circuni Btnncoti. According to tho reposts of ongineora the- loeomotlvos nro frilling down and inpidly approaching 11 point whoro repairs will hnvo to bo inndo; the strlko hna grown in proportions tnoro rapidly than usnnt, and the officers hnxo bocn driven to tho point ot begging tho men to return to work. Tho in on im ponodnro nothing short ot higwnymen, I fool sntlsliol with tho progress ot tho strike this fnr and nin satlellod wo aro playing n winning ganio. At Evans ton and other western points whoro tho men wore slow In coming out, wo hnvo gained. At Evnnstou but bix of tho twenty machinists romnin at work." THE COMPANY SATISI'IEt). While the strikers express satis faction with the progress cf the strike, the Union Pacific officials claim that they arc well satisfied with the condition!, of affairs. Tlic company is determined to adopt the piece system, and now that they have given the employes a reasonable tunc In which to re turn and the men have failed to do so, other men will be imported to take their places. The officials say there is no question about their ability to secure all the men they t.uecd; and that it will be but a short time until they will have sufficient men to do all the work required, even with the increase ot business which will come this fall. Officials say that sonic of the greatest rail way corporations in the country have adopted the piccc-work sys tem and have no difficulty in secur ing all the lielpthey need audarguc that if other roads can get men the Union Pacific can also.
