RAILROAD NOTES,
O'Conncll Pleated with (he Outlook.
President James O'Conncll, head
of the international association of
machinists, stopped over in Omaha
Tuesday while enroute to the
Pacific coast. In speaking of the
strike he said:
"Tnc situation certainly looks
bright from our standpoint. As a
matter of fact, no Btrikc is desir
able, wc regret the necessity for
such a movement as much as the
railroad possibly can, but since it
has to come wc arc satisfied with
the progress it is making."
Mr. O'Conncll was asked this
question:
"If this strike rutin along for a
year or more and the company
shows no signs of yielding, will
the machinists, in order to win,
accept piecework, it all other
things arc equal?"
"Positively not. Wc aje un
alterably opposed to piecework.
Our constitution lorbtds it and the
very essence of unionism is against
it. We will never accept piece
work, even if the strike should run
tor five years. Piecework is one ol
the things which the machinists'
union will not stand lor. The sys
tem is wrong from first to last. It
cultivates the beastly side of a
man, that is it prompts and fosters
dishonesty among workmen, and
it imposes unfair conditions upon
those who arc compelled to accept
it. No, sir, wc will never yield to
piecework. Wc stand first and
last for its total abolition.

Three machinists were sent in
trom Omaha yesterday morning
and went to work in the local
shops. They will eat and sleep in
the bunk car.
A dispatch from Cheyenne, dated
Wednesday, says eleven machinists
lrom Denver and Indiana points
were put to work there that day.
They arc boarded and lodged near
the shops. The same dispatch says
that only one machinist is at work
at Rawlins.
Foreman O. P. Whipple spent a
day or two at Sidney this week. It
is baid that several machinists will
be put to vyotk at that place, aud
that in a short time the round
house will be opened and the pool
ing of engines on the western dis
trict discontinued.
Owinir to a washout on the
Northwestern iu Iowa, train No.
due at one o'clock Tuesday night
did not reach here untit five the
following evening. Train No.
was also ten hours late and No. 11
about five hours. Five passenger
trains arrived and departed within
four hours Wednesday evening.
Several men arrived iu town Wed
ucsday with letters from the shop
foreman at Denver to the local lore
man paying that they wcrcmccban
ics seut here to go to work. Inves
titration proved that witn two ex
c:ptio.i the m en were not mcchau
ics. They had lied to the Denver
foreman and on the claims mad
were imvcu transporatlon to this
point.
The three "scab" boilcrmakers
who had been at work tor a week
in the Union Pacific shops, quit
work Wednesday, drew their Urn
and lett that night for the cast
This actiou on the part of these
men created considerable enthus
iasm amonir the strikinc boiler
makers. Two non-union machin
ists who arrived Wednesday, who
had been sent here to work, were
taken iu tow by the machinists and
induced to leave town.
The local machinists and boiler-
makers' are well organized and have
committees which meet every in
coming train, day and night. These
committees keep a close look-out
for imported mechanics, and when
one is detected uc is approacueo,
treated in a courteous tnanuer,
given a meal if he needs it, and
without much trouble is induced
not to go to wotk. Several ma-
chiustB who have been brought
here, however, have escaped their
vigilance and under cover of a
guard have been marched to the
shops.
In speaking ot th-: increase of the
force at Grand Inland, yesterday's
dec said: The Union Pacific, it is
reported, is preparing to install a
night and day shift in its shops at
Grand Island and thus double or
treble the capacity for and volume
of work there. This has never been
a union bhop aud but two of the
strike originated. TheBe went out
but none of the others have ever
struck. They are still at work'and
will be used as a nucleus to form a
argc force. It was said this morn-
ng that the company intended
putting in 200 or 300 shopmen
there. The shops have never been
run to their full capacity.
The strike of the boilcrmakers
of the Chicago and Northwestern
railway, which went iuto effect last
week has been declared off. The
men at every point on the road re
turned to work Wednesday morn-
ng. The.men struck for an in
crease in wages from 29 to 35 cents
per nour and lor uounie pay tor
Sundays and legal holidays. An
agreement was reached with the
boilcrmakerB Saturday, providing
that if the men would return to
work at every point on the system
the management would treat with
their committee but they would not
make terms with them while they
remained out on a strike. The ar
rangement was satisfactory.
Rev. G, A. Beecher received a
telegram Wednesday announcing
the death of his nephew, Mr. Jones,
in Chicago.
President O'Connell, ot the Inter
