How Mattora Stood atltho Transfer
for Yesterday ,
Details of llio
Mr. GUIs , the agent of the Union Pa
cific , at the Broadway depot , receive
orders early yesterday morning not tx
receive any freight , and immediately notified
tifiod the Council Bluffs merchants tx
that effect. The four employes at th
Broadway depot remained on duty Bay
ing , "thorois no use in striking for thor
is nothing to do and wo might no wo'
loaf about hero and got paid for it.
There \voro many would-bo passenger
who were coming and going all day
Sotno on learning the situation woult
not run the risk of crossing , while others
inoro persistent and venturesome wnltoc
until a stray dummy train would tak
them over.
At the transfer passenger depot every
thing wont ixlons smoothly yesterday
morning , the employes standing about ii
groups talking ever the situation unti
nearly noon , when the two passenger
trains No. 15 and No. 3 arrived from
Omaha , i When the time came for thorn
to bo loaded up with baggage the bag
gagemen all quit work. In this extremity
ty , A. Traynor , general baggagomastoi
of the U. P. , pooled off hw coat am'
summoning Lou Carrier , his assistant ,
and Tom Lowry , head chockman , and
Lon Linkoy , tlio big four proceeded to
pile in the trunks and toss about the
grips , while the crowd laughed and
cheered thorn on. After a little the crowd
of strikers stopped the work , but after an
hour's parley concluded to lot the baggage
bo loaded and leave it for the boys on
the other side [ of the river to settle ,
and while this was going on Bomo of the
boys uncoupled the engines from the
trains , and throatcd.that the trains should
not bo allowed to leave , but finally con-
eluded to lot them go across , relying on
the employes across the river.
The Lincoln train loft at 12:25 : with
Wilcox as Conductor , and No. 3 , the
night express , at 1 p. in. , with Allen as
conductor. Neither of thoao iraina haci
my brakemen on.
No. 3 passenger arrived from the
nrost thirty minutes lato. The baggage
was unloaded by the same quartette who
loaded the two which left at noon. They
were evidently ashamed of the "U. P.
hats and were their unofficial head cov
erings.
A r port proceeded No. 4 that she
would como in with nothing but an on-
jino and mail car , and n number of Ooun-
: il Bluffs people were gathered by this
time at the transfer watching matters
nrith interest. Among them was the
jolly postmaster , Phil Armour , who was
looking after Undo Sam's interests. Ho
: ound the mail matters running all right ,
md the usual number of passenger cars ,
ilao.
ilao.At
At the freight transfer yesterday morn-
ng the switchmen refused to go to work ,
md proceeding in a body to the plat
forms requested the freight handlers to
itriko also , which they did a few rnin-
itos after the day's work had common-
sod. The car repairers , working under
Boss Page , hearing this , also quit. The
: hcck clerks , who were loud in tolling
iho day before what thoyoro .going to
Jo , rather weakened when the time
: amo. They could not work because the
; anga who work with them had all loft.
Che clerks hung about ostensibly on
luty all day , probably in the hope of at
east keeping their names on the reduced
> ay rolls , and getting some money satis-
action from the U. P. for the day's
abor.
All the employes hold a mooting to
tear the report of the committee who had
> eon appointed to attend the mass moot-
ng in Omaha , the night before. During
.ho mooting Win. H. Burns , the agent _ at
; ho station , appeared and tried to.induce
the men to go to work , while ho would
; o to Omaha and sea trhat ho could do
with , the officials in their behalf , and ho
then vrould report to thorn. They sat
Sown on the propoeal by a unanimous
vote , refusing to return to work.
Ex-alderman Fonda , engineer of the
switch engine sat in his cab all day , with
steam up , waiting to go to work. The
only work douo by the switchmen was
the pulling out of two cars of oysters , at
the special request of Air. Burns who
wanted the cars replenished witli ice so as
to save the oysters. After they done
this Mr. Burna wanted some ono to pul
ice in the cars , but the only help ho could
got were the live check clerks , who made
a sorry Cguro of it.
The clerks in Mr. Bums' office contin
ued the day out , but the opinion seemed
to bo iu favor of going to work this
morning. At thosamo time they know
that one-half of the clerks in Auditor
Taylor's office , in Omaha , uudorstooc
the business , aforesaid , that if they qui
a surplus from that pflico will bo callec
on to fill the vacancies.
Mr. Burns acted as vardmaster on
several occasions yesterday.
The pool lines had to do their own
switching yesterday in order to got the
cars that were consigned to thorn.
The too-too secretary , Stripe , of Mr
Burns , made some very flowery speeches
to the strikers , but could not exert mucl
iniluoiico ever the mou of muscle , an <
they gave him the quiet laugh.
Air. Burns , in an interview , says he
fears no violence or attempt to injure
property. Ho says ho finds the men
very determined , but disposed to bo
poacoablpandjgentlomanly. [ No evidences
of drinking or disorderlinoes were man !
feat yesterday.
The switchmen and chock clerks offer
ed their services as night watchmen , am
have stationed themselves so as to guan
against fire or other trouble , They do thi
as a matter of self-protection largely
They say they do not propose to lot any
thing happen which can possibly con
fltruod into any act of violence on the
part of the strikers.
The men at the Union elevator quil
work yesterday.
The gray hatred street car conductor
was a little shaken up by the boys stop
ping him with the threat that if no made
another trip down to the transfer i
would be a sorry time for him. Ho go
the local superintendent of the streo
cars. George Marshal , and Ollicer Hurley
to go down with him , but when the ]
arrived there was given the laugh at bis
needless fcara.

A SIAMESE ,
The Fire Department Sens to Hay
fwoDHcafls ,
Trouble Threatened and n Poor Slio\
for Klro 1'rotcotlon.
The city council has by its desire t
deal out political plunder brought abou
a demoralized condition of the fire dr.
partment , and caused a condition of n
fairs which makes property owners vor
Horvous as what would bo the outcom
in case of a great fire breaking out.
By the old ordinance the chief of th
fire department was to servo until re
moved for causo. The city attorney hold
that this part of the ordinance is illegal
and the council has passed an amondator ;
ordinance fixing the term nt two years
and immediately upon the passage of thi
ordinance the council elected Walters n
the chief. .
Aid. Keating , who with Aid. Sicdcn
tofp , voted for the old chief Tomploton
now insist that the election of Walton
is illegal because tlioj ordinance
lilcu other ordinances , cannot i become
como in force until ten days after pub
I'cilion. ' With this viovr of it the friondi
of Tomploton claim that ho is still chief
under the old ordinance , ho haviiif
neither resinned or having been rcmovoc
for cause. II o has boon instructed bj
Aid. Keating and Siodcntopf that ho is
expected to servo as chief and propose !
, p sorvo. lie has had no official notified
.ion that his successor has been chosen , 01
.hat ho has been deposed. Until sucl
notice ho will continue an chief and the
non who have sent in their resignations
Mit who whoso resignations have notbeor
accepted , express their willingness to oboi
lia orders nnd n c'otormiimtion ' not U
rccognizo Walters.
On the other hand Walters declare !
lhat ho is duly elected and has qualified
[ Io , too , proposes to act as chief , am
some of the men , especially the newly ap
pointed ones , -will obey him. Thus the
department stands divided and just wha
will bo the result in case of a fierce fire
can only bo guessed at.
The majority of the council , who thug
sought to make a change in the chief-
Ainshin of the department must foe
decidedly ashamed of themselves. There
s not the least intimation , that the at-
empt to put Walters in was an honosl
endeavor to bettor the department , to
; ain a bettor chief , or to enhance- any oi
.ho interests of the city. It is openly
iukuowl6dgod that it is purely a matter
jf political favoritism , a reward for ser-
irico done by Walters , not to
ho democratic party , but to
ho Vaughan faction of the democratic
mrty , for Tomploton is a democrat as
veil as Walters. It is simply an oxten-
ion of the strife between those two lo-
ul factions of the democracy , and the
action winning demands the spoils , event
t the cost of the efficiency of the fire
opartmont , and at the risk of great loss
f property. The council have shown
heir inconsistency by declaring the old
rdinanco defective because it bound
lie action of future councils , and yet
mmodiatoly passing an ordinance bind-
ng the next council , for they have fixed
ho term of office of chief at two years ,
nd elected a man to servo two years-
'ho learned city attorney must , to bo
oneistont , pronpunco the amendment
xing the term at two years illegal.
Hayor Vaughn himself acknowledged
cstorday that the council could not fix
; for more than ono year , and later in
10 conversation held that a council
ould elect a now chief at any time it
aw fit.
The situation is alarming. If both
cmnloton and Walters insist on acting
s chiofft at a fire , the department will be
irown into confusion , and the flames
aeanwhilo can have their own way.
The council may call it "acting in the
nterosts of the people" to thus tnllo with
no of the most important departments
f the city , and to openly defy the writ-
en request of nearly all the business
nen and heavy property owners in the
ity , not to attempt any change in the
position of chiefs. Bent on satisfying
> otty factional schemes , the majority of
ho council has not ovonactcdon matured
md wise thinking , but has rushed ahead ,
until they have thus brought about an-
irchy and disorder.
