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.

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. Palmer also
spoke, the latter giving fact and figures
relative to the new soldiers' sanitarium at

"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
