IWtt Arch Street, Philadelphia, Ta, THE OMAHA DAILT I.EE: WEDNESDAY, CAR MEN WILL REORGANIZE Striken Will Jain Rational Brotherhood if Latter Indorta Toeir Action. CLAIM COMPANY VIOLATED ITS COMPACT Meeting Taeedar Afteraoaa at Whlea Formal Statement Waa Framed Be teat ta Preeldeat ef laloa Paclte. The striking car builders of th local t'nlon Pacific shops held a meeting Tester day morning looking to a decision as to what ths strikers will do regarding reorganlza tlon In order to successfully cop with tb company In tha present contest and as a safeguard against future contingencies. After the meeting John B. Evans, secre tary of a committee appointed to take th lead in strike affairs, mads this statement: "The trouble has grown out of the com pany's violation of Its agreement. When we accepted tb piecework system, which the Union Pacific was pleased to call a 'premium system,' It was understood that the shop foremen were to fix the prizes for work. Within thirty day the company em ployed Mr. Langtord as piecework Inspector, and he began at once to cut prices, making aa low as 60 per eent reductions in some cases, holding that the prices psld the car men were too high. This brought tha dally earnings of some of our men down to $1.50 a day, and so we could do nothing but quit work. "Monday, when we walked out. three men were to be put In the shops aa 'pacemakers' and we were to keep up with tbem. "Tb painters In the car shops had been put on piecework some weeks ago and It has never given satisfaction. There waa discrimination In certain case. The com pany failed to keep Its bond with the men, who oberved theirs to the letter. Not Rightly Represented. "We have been misrepresented by F. A. Jsck, who was the leader from the shops In the conference with the officials and who is now at work in the shops. Our Interests and our wishes were not correctly repre sented at these conferences. "We have not decided which organisation we will affiliate with. W left the Car Builders' association to go to the Brother hood of Railway Car Men. and are now In communication with the atter. If they en dorse our action we will Join them; If not, we will form a separate and independent union and light our own battles. We are prepared for a good contest, our pickets are already at work and we are not out simply for benefits." This statement waa made by an official of the Union Pacific: "The men did not consult their best In terest in striking. They had an oppor tunity under the new system of making more than their old wages amounted to and a great many of them succeeded In this particular. The company stood good and stand good yet to Its pledge, that In no caaa would the dally wage drop below the old price, SO cent an hour, or what ever the case might have been. F. A. Jack, the man who had more to do for the workmen In bringing about the new agree ment, pronounces it fair In every respect, and the fact that he refuses to strike Is evidence that he does not sympathise with those who have struck. Mr. Jack Is a union man, as are' the greater part of those who did not strike. The strike was pre cipitated chiefly by nonunion men. Nambera of Shop Men. "The original number of employes In the ear shops waa 268. Today there are 73. leaving 191 who went out. This 76 does not Include those at Council Bluffs, the Origi nal number of whom Is 89, none of whom have struck. It does include SS In 'Murphy's hole.' however. There Is no troubls any where outside of Omaha among the car men, and there will be none." The strikers themselves are not claiming that car men In other place will go out. The company ststes that no further troubls has occurred at North Platte and that things along the line look very quiet and promising for the Union Pacific. De spite the recent demonstrations at North Platte the officials claim a gain in their shops there Monday of eight machlnlits, three machinists' helpers, two holler mv. era and twelve boiler makers' helpers. secretary urace or the machinists state that th company sent Into Rawtina .i men, all of whom refused to go to work, and that at Kansas City five quit Monday and that more were going out that night, as they were just receiving their pay. APPEALING TO THE TRAINMEN Strikers Will Ask Them ta Refaae to Hani Any More Strike Breakers. Union Pacific atrlkara have dMt tn .v all trainmen on that road, embracing the engineer, nremen, conductors and brake men to refuse to "haul another scab" over the Union Paclllo system. This action, which has been under consideration for soms time, will go into effect thts evening, when the committee, which for the pur pose of convenience and facllltv will ha di vided, begins Its first solicitations. Thts metnoa is looked upon by the strikers as the most effective yet adopted, as tbey are confident that the trainmen will comply with their request, and If so the company will be placed completely at tha strikers' mercy. "Of course the other Dart of thla nrnnn. sltlon Is that if the Union Paclfie persists In lmportlnc nonunion men and hrrra Insist upon its trainmen hauling them In, ma tatter snail strike, thereby throwing their strength and support all directly with us," said one of the strikers last night who Is most Interested la this plan, "the nat ural supposition Is that tha eomnanv will Import more nonunion men. ainne it 9hnn forces are dwindling down every day. snd thsy must have men to run their shops, even If these men are Incompetents and tha shops run on a half-way basis.

Nine of the fourteen drivers employed by Hayden Bros., together with two bill clerks. quit work yesterday and Inaugurated a strike. The men claim that they took this action because a number of the old drivers bad been discharged, and when the manager was asked for a reaioa he would give none. The drlvera want an Increase of wage from $10 to $11 per week. "The men came In and aiked for the rea- aon w dlschsrged two or three men," said Edward Hayden. "We gave tbem no reason because we did not went to make public the fallings ol men who bad been long In our employ, but now we csn ssy that th men were discharged for drunkenness. One of them wss so violent that he waa ar rested. We sent to th police court and se cured his release. He then took a pledge not to get drunk again, but was soon at his old prsctlce, and, with one or two oth ers. we discharged him. We are paying all that the unloa scale calls for and as much aa any other firm. We are making deliv eries a little slow today, but by morning we wUl be all right" One of the men who quit said: "It was not only a question of wsges and the dis charge of the men, but we are doing too much work. Our routes are longer than those of any other drivers of department atores, and we feel that we should have the routes cut down or higher wages than are paid to men delivering the shorter routes. The walkout is not endorsed by the union, as there has been no meeting." ANNIVERSARY OF GRANT POST Twentieth Birthday Observed la Fit tins Manner by War Survivor. Myrtle hall was thronged last night, the occasion being the banquet of Grant post No. 110 of the Grind Army of the Repub lie, to mark the passage of the twentieth anniversary of the founding of the post. The spacious hall, was hung with flags and bunting, and at the point of honor a plo ture of General Mandereon, the first com mander of the post, was displayed. Espe cially to be 'noticed was a large frame containing pictures of members of the post taken of lste years and placed side by slds with likenesses of wsr time days. At the head of the hall, noted by all, was the draped vacant chair In memorlam of departed comrades. Dr. Robert M. Stone, master of cere monies, called the banqueter to their eats at 8:45 o'clock and after grace by Rev. W. R. Adams the feaat was served, Dr. Stone read Longfellow's poem on ths fiftieth anniversary of the founding of Bowdoln college, "Morlturt Solutamus," which, with the change of two words, was appropriate to the present occasion. Comrade E. A. Parmelee read a history or too post from tee time cf organisation, Among the facts brought out were the day of first meeting In General MsndersoV office August 18, 1882, with eighteen charter member; th name of the post before the death of General Grant, which was Omaha post, and the death Of thirty-two members during the last ten years. General Mandereon ' made the principal talk of the evening. He said In part: "Comrades, Ladles and Gentlemen: Time was when at such meetings hilarity ruled the hour, and, the Ir pat full of anecdotes of war. A tho year have rolled by yon perceive a change' In, th spirit of tho meetings. The great'' name In history are inoeo or the dead." There seems littls pleasure In retrospect and less in pros pect. We are going very fast. Of the grand army of 2,300,000 the greater num ber have passed on the 'other side. With the passage of years the feeling of ani mosity has grown very small; in fact, there never was much, except among the noncombatants. Tbs Grsnd Army of the Republic has a grand history and has done great good." The general concluded by reading a story giving ths history of the loss and recovery of . two presentation pistols given him by his regiment after the battle of Stoney river. Mrs. R. S. Wilson next responded to the toast for ths Woman's Relief corps. Colonel A. J. Keller of the Fourth Tennessee In fantry, Confederate Soldiers' association, waa the next speaker. He said that h felt honored to be present, for such meet lugs Increased his pride In American cltt senshlp. He emphasised the point that no Spanish-American war was needed to re store and emphaalze the loyalty of the south, for that was done at the signing of tne peace at Appomatox. Mrs. F. W. Kenny of Blair, president of the Woman's Relief corps of the state spoke briefly. Dr. W. H. Christie and H. E.

MEN ON LATE RUNS COME IN AFTERWARDS Ho Trouble with Preaeat Manage ment, bat He Dealre to Prepare (or Emererencles In Event ot Change ot Ownership. "Ninety-five per cent ot the men will be tn the organization within a week," said one of the leading factors last night In the formation ot the street railway employes' union In Omaha. The street railway men met at Labor temple and perfected a thor ough and permanent organisation, affiliating with the Amalgamated Order of Street Railway Employes, the International body. Up to 11 o'clock the roll of members showed 264, but as the meeting waa to be an all night affair in order to give the men work ing on the last shifts opportunities of Join ing, It was said that It could be conserva tively stated that the membership would reach, at this meeting, 400 and possibly more. A full set of officers was elected last night before 13 o'clock, but as the union haa not yet obtained a charter and its pro ceedings, while definitely defined so far as the permanency of the organization Is con cerned, are essentially embryonic. It wss decided to withhold the publication of the camee of the officers for the present. A charter under the International organization will be applied for at once and the local union given the Impetus ot a full-fledged labor organisation. The formation of thts union Is the cul mination of the plans and movement ot the railway men as published tn The Bee Sunday, and the purpoee is for future pro tection and In nowise the result of griev ances against ths company. Said one of the men last night: Have Xo Grievance. It Is a notable fact that the Omaha street railway men are about the b?st treated b their employers ot any In ths country. We bad no grievance whatever nor did we anticipate any grievance aris ing from our relations with our present employers." The situation as was stated In The Bee Sunday Is simply that the men fear some radical changes might ensue under the change of management and ownership In the system which has beea reported as a pending probability. Their action Is In an ticipation of anything detrimental to their Interests posslbls from such a contingency. By taking time by the forelock tt la be lieved the employes of the street railway company will be able to fortify themselves agalnat sudden or summsry discharge by any new management, and the men all af firm that thla object and thla alone led to them "getting together." It will be remembered that when the bead of the car men's international organization. President Mshon, wss here during the sum mer with President Samuel Oompers, hs stated that the railway employes of Omaha were In excellent condition so fsr as their treatment by their employers, their wsges, etc., were concerned. But It msy also be recalled that In hla speech at Washington hall President Mahon Incidentally advised the men to organise and become a iart of the International body. Whether this ad vice has borne fruit la the organization of last night la not given out. Oat of Towa Reprrseatatlves.

In cidentally the street car men become part ot the Central Labor union, aa well a of tha American Federation of Labor, and will contribute their share to the exchequ ers of both concerns, which, Incidentally, will aid the strikers. Besides Mr. Wilson, F. A. Willis, the local American Federation of. Labor organizer, was present and spoke upon the merits of the proceedings. During the course ot remarks of the even ing It was causually pointed out, without any design ' at suggesting a grlevsnce, that it was the purpose of the Omaha street car men to guard against sinking to the level. In the matter ot wages, of tha Council Bluffs employes, who get 15 cents an hour for the first year, 17 4 the next and so on to 20 under extraordinary circumstances. In Omaha the regular scale Is 20 cents sn hour, and this, It Is Insisted, baa never been ; deviated from. ' A large number of the car men who were at the meeting appeared in their uniforms, Indicating that there is no desire or In tention of concealing their plans or pres ence or of deceiving their employers who, by the way, were already apprised of tbelr ultimate Intention of organizing.
