Slill Shipping Machinery Away,
A number of tbc machines in tin
Union Pac! he shops were disman
tled the early part ot this week,
loaded on cars and shipped to
Grand Island and Sidney vyhetc
they will be used for engine repair
work,
Up to dale nearly one-half of the
machines in the local shops have
been shipged out, and the shops
have a deserted look both as to
men and machinery. The predic
tion made by Master Mechanic
Barnuin relative to the lorce which
will be maintained here sccma to
be coming true.
Rumors of a Settlement.
Rumors are now rife that a set
tlement of the strike on the Union
Jacific will be effected between
ow and the first of September. If
lese reports are true, the men will
o back at the iormer wage sche
dule, and that no further attempt
the introduction ot piece work
will be mad ;.
Coupled with these rumors is a
report that certain machinery used
n the old Omaua bhops will be Bent
to North Platte to take the place of
the machines which were removed
to Sidney and Grand Island.
These rumors are said to come
rom an authentic source, yet they
ire denied by local Union Pacific
fficials.
During the past week two ad
ittonal freight crews were put on
on tbevSscond district. This action
was made necessary by the rush
of fall business which has now
tarted,
.Now that the boilersh op has
been cleared ot all the machinery,
t will be fitted up as a sleeping
apartment for the imported men,
and the sleeping cats will be dis
carded,
Five of the imported men at the
shops quit work Wednesday and
four yesterday, but as men are
being shipped in by twos and
lives every day or two, the force of
mportcd men averages about the
same as turee or lour weeks aco
the minimum number being about
fifty.
The Bee says evidences are mul
iplylng that tbc Union Pacific will
sue for peace with its striking cm
ploycs and that Congressman Mer
cer will be the go-between. It mat
ters little to the people along tbc
ine of the road who the mediator
s just so the strike is tettlcd and
that it is settled quickly.
The Burlington has fixed itsell
so far as the rumored strike is con
cerned by advancing the pay of its
trainmen, switchmen and baggage
men. Will the Union Pacific, which
has been regarded as "the best
road in the countrv to work on,"
follow the example of the Burling
ton, which is known as a "scab"
road? Iu taking the lead in this
matter, the Burlington baB, gained
respect in circles where formerly it
did not exut.
About twenty of the old standard
engines are now in use on the Sec
ond and Third districts, and they
have come in mighty handy, in fact
without them it is questionable if
the company could have kept their
trains moving. At present there
arc Bcyenty-five engines running
out of North Platte, which is about
one-third more than usual. This
increase is uue to two causes, an
increase ot freight business and tbc
condition of the engines which pre
cludes them irom hauling the cus
tomary tonnage.
Today, if matured plans arc car
ned into effect, the trainmen on al
roads west ot Chicago, with one or
two exceptions, will make a de
maiui ior an increase ot pay
amounting to one-halt cent pe
mile. Never in the history of this
country ha9 the buainesBot the
railroads been so prosperous, and
they can well aiTord to pay the ad
vance demanded by the conductors
and brakemcn. Especially so when
the duties ot these employes have
been increased Irom one-third to
one-half during the past three or
tour years by the advent of heavier
motive power. ,
