Engines Held In the East.
Yesterday's Omaha Bee says:
Union Pacific strikers claim to
hare substantial proot for the
Htatemcnt that none of the eighty
locomotives ordered by the com
pany will Vie delivered during the
peiulcncv ot the strike, As early'
as June officials gave out the in
formation, which was published at
the lime, that this numbjr of eu
glues had been ordered ami that
the lirst lot would arrive in Omaha
the latter part of July, all to be on
hand by the latter part of August.
Thus far none of the eugtucs have
.arrived and the last statement
inadc at headquarters rcgardiug
Pthcm was that ihc company did not
know just when they would reach
here. , "
Twenty of the cugiucs were to
have come from the Baldwin Loco
motive works at Philadelphia, it is
nderstood, and luc remainder
from the American Locomotive
works with shops at Utica,
Schncctady, Pittsburg and other
poiutB in the cast.
The information given out last
ight by the boilermakcrs aud
machinists here is that each of
these companics.has been informed
by its mechanics that if the engines
re delivered to the Union Pacific
hile the strike is in progress the
en at tUose places will quit work.
These ultimatums arc said to have
led the companies to rcfuau to at
tempt the delivery of any
of the engines, informing the Union
Pacific that they could not afford to
eopardizc their own luterebts by
taking a step that threatened the
suspension ot their operations.
