UNION PACIFIC SCHEME DENOUNCED Rrfmntdlrta of Or!il Labor Aceent the Mediation ( the ftacond District Coifrtiiati, Striker were greatly animated yesterday over th reported plan of th Union Fa elfio to have It trouble with th men set tied through David H. Mercer, as published In The Bee. The matter was discussed at the morning meetings of tbe atrlkera, the re sult being In every case a repulsion of tbe scheme. No striker could be found In Labor Temple who felt that Mr. Mercer s office a emlatary for organised labor In the res. toration of peaceful relations between It and the railroad corporation was either necessary or desirable. If It Is determined, therefore, to proceed with this novel plan Jthe company and its assistant bo doubt will meet with complete failure. "Thua far we have ben able to attend to our own business, both within our pri vate councils and in bur relations with the Union Pacific, and we have not reached that point when It seems expedient to appeal for or accept the services or assistance of any person or peosona In the contemplation of ft settlement of this strike." aald Vic Pres ident TonvU Wilson of th International Association of Machinists. "So far aa the alleged plan of the Union Pacific la con cerned It may show a very generous dis position on tbe company's part to promote Mr. Mercer's Interests by having him as sume the magnanimous role of mediator between capital and labor, but it'a a little premature and uncalled for. We don't ask or need any sucH assistance from the Union Pacific All we ask of It la to meet the demand we originally made. That done we will have no further concession to solicit. No Weed of Third Party. "We have never yet been denied a meeting or conference with the officials of the road and w. da not apprehend anything of the sort. Therefore, I do not see the reason for calling In a third party to do what we can do ourselves. Co far as arbitrating la concerned, there Is positively nothing to arbitrate. This strike will be settled by the Union Pacific granting the demands made by the men at the outset or It will not be settled at all." Another strike leader, a Omaha man, bad thif to aay upon th alleged Union Pa-clftc-Mereer scheme: , "We ar not around looking for any way of helping re-elect Dave Mercer. We are not In thin thing for polities' sake or fcr the aake of any politician, and w do not Intend to have this strike prostituted to Illegitimate purpose. We went Into it be cause w "were convinced that our condition a employee of th Union Pacific waa not what It ought to be, and we are trying to bring about th state of affair which we believe, ought to exist. We do not propose to be used as the pliant tools of any cor poration or politician, and the man or men who undertake to force us Into such aa un warranted position will find himself or themselves confronted by an Impossible task. Labor laderstaads Mercer. "I thick -that organised labor, of which great body we form a distinct part, thor oughly understands Mr. Mercer, and It aeems to m that Mr. Mercer ought really to have so misgiving about organized la bor and Ita attitude toward him, at least In thla community. Event of th last fort night have served to demonstrate most em- phatlcally the relations existing between ' David H. Mercer and organised labor In the city of Omaha. I have beard considerable about this alleged scheme of the Union Pa- ctflo and Mercer's machine; it ha been going the round for several daya and I think there la a great effort being1 mads to foster It, but It certainly will meet with a cold reception if ever proposed to the trlkers. We can attend to our own bus iness and Mr. Msrcer, too, when the time cornea. Wa really look for the company to propose some mean of settlement very soon, but Mr. Mercer'a case 1 settled now, so far as we are concerned." Reports from North Platte yesterday atated that tbe Union Pacific ha started a movement to buy back all the tOO-serlea of locomotive it sold some time ago to the Santa Fa. It la aald that, falling to get Ita Ighty sew engine from the east, the com pany is compelled to Increase the number ' of englnsa and that thla Is the only imme diately available means of doing this.

There seems to b considerable Interest manifest in tbe outcome of th eases of !?JUO? '" whn have heen cited to BD- pear before Judge King; on August 14 to an swer to tha charge ef keeping; their places ef business open on Sunday. Aa nearly everyone knows, these cases have been con tinued for some time and It hardly seems probably that there will be a further post ponement. " For some reason th city authorities have seen fit to file complaints nnder ths city or dinance only, not Including In any manner tha state laws governing the dispensing of liquors. - Therefore thpne who will com be fore the police judge will appear only a violator of elty ordinances an sot be ar raigned under the statutes. The reason given for this Is that the city ord'nanes Is broader In ita oonstrjctloa than the statutes and therefore can be used In a trial In police court to better advantage. It la understood that the decision of Judge King will tend to materially decide what action tha council' will take on the commu nication aent In Monday night by tbe Tax payers league and the Anti-Saloon league.
