Yesterday was a busy day for the repre
sentatives of organized labor on the Union
Pacific. The arrival of Messrs. Arthur and
Sargent , representing the National flrother-
hoods of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen
respectively , from the meetings at North
1'latlc , Neb. , and Laramlo , Wyo. , and Ihelr
conference with the grievance committee of
the Union Pacific engineers In this city , had
the effect of Intensifying the Interest In the
movement to strengthen the bond ot organ
ized labor on the Overland Route.
During the afternoon there was a meeting
ot the grievance committee ot the engineers
at the Arcade hotel. Plans were definitely
fixed for united action upon the part of all
the engineers of the Union Pacific In case
organized resistance to any cut In wages by
the now- regime at the head ot the Union
Pacl-c should become necessary. The engi
neers , firemen and trainmen feel satisfied
that the meetings held at North Platte And
Laramlo have greatly strengthened their
unions. They are keeping their own coun
sels and arc exceedingly reticent concerning
their plans should the cut that Is generally
expected eventuate. That an attempt will
bo made to loner the scale , of wages ot the
Union Pacific eraployta to the level of the
Iurllp ! ton and Elkhorn scale by the new
management of the Union Pacific Is generally
expected. Just when the attempt will be
made Is a matter of conjecture , but the
present activity among the Union Pacific
laior unions has no other purpose than to
steadfastly resist any such move.

It is also accepted as certain that Mes-ars

Mr. Fctida will be In charge of the presenl
station after the removal of the Unloi

Other appointments will be made by eacl
road later on as the exposition travel wll
Involve a greater amount of labor at tin
local passenger stations than has been Vnovvi
here. The ticket work at the Union Paclfic'i
frame stalled will be much heavier thai
that In the BurllnglonV * new home , as li
the former tickets will be sold over flvi

London newspapers scorn somewhat puz

clearly mnrked disposition to support th

of the Grund Trunk In protecting Ilself an
Incldenlally the American roads , has ha
the effect of throwing the whole quest lo
Into obscurity. Public opinion In Londo
was willing to back the Canadian road
against the American roads , but It hard )
knows which side to take now. On Hi
whole , however , opinion seems to lea
somewhat apnlnst the Grand Trunk , becnup
of tha facl that Its Interests are abou
Identical with those of the American rouli

May Mnko II n Tunnel.
In connection with the foot bridge across
the tracks from Hie business part of the city
to the stock yards , W. S. King , the chief
engineer of the stock jards company , has
suggested lhal a lunnel under ttie tracks bo
construcled. Mr. Klnp ; asserts that a tunnel
making the same landings aa Is proponed by
Iho bridge can bo constructed for about one-
half the co l of an overhead structure. A
bridge would have to bo built twenty-three
feet above the Iracks , while a tunnel would
need to be o ily twelve feet below- the eur-
' 'ace. It Is estimated that a tiranol could
bo dug for $12,000 , while to erect tdo kind
ot a bridge desired would cost fully twice
that much. A tunnel would , It Is claimed ,
answer the purpose Just as well , and would
bo handler Inasmuch as there would not be
so many steps to climb.
The stock yards company has taken the
matter up with the officials of Iho railroad
companies , and It 1 * thought that Bomo de
cision will be rrached before long.

In favor of a progressive admlalslrallon , both

Aflcv having been In service only a short
