CINCINNATI MEN ARE SENT HOMEWARD Machinists from Ohio Who Bald They Were Broaht Here by False Rep resentations Given Transpor tation to Chlenaro. Official Inquiry by the Union Pacific as to the number and names ot tbe strikers' j pickets In Omaha and other cities and town wnere tne trike extat Has aroused another ray of hope among the former shopmen that a settlement of the long pending difficulty is being contemplated by the company. It is believed that the of ficials want the names ot tbe men who have been most aggressive in the fight against tbe company tor future reference and tbe supposed desire for these names at, thla time Is taken a evidence of the Union Pacific' intention to bring about an early termination of the conflict. The ' strikers assert their willingness to disclose the name of all their leader and say that If the officials will apply to their sec retaries they will furnish correct list ot tbe pickets and other leaders.

ORDERS STRIKERS TO WORK Vice President ' of Machinists' I'nlon ends I'nheesleel Telegrams to Montana. The strlks of the 100 machinists on the Northern Pacific at Livingston, Mont., 1 attracting considerable attention among the Union Pacific Strikers. Th Northern Pa cific machinists struck because the master mechanic discharged the chairman of the shop committee, and claim tha' 'his dis charge waa the result of personal animosity. General Manager Cooper of the Northern Pacific admits that the master mechanic discharged this man, but in a lengthy telegram to Vice President Wilson of the machinists, whoss Jurisdiction extend to that system, ss'ys that the chairman of the shop committee for ths machinists was discharged for loafing. Wilson has wired twice within ths last forty-eight hours to the machinists order log . them back to work, and both com mands bavs been disobeyed. The strikers declare they will not return to work until their man is reinstated. Admitting tbat the machinists ar in tbe wrong, Wilson telegrspbed tha third time last night for them to, return to work, and unless this order Is complied with by this morning he will make a trip to Livingston to Civs ths matter personal attention. SCHOOLS MAY BE CROWDED Only One Additional Room Added ta AeeoniBsodatlons Dnrlna; Vacation Time. When the publlo schools open Monday morning next It will be with practically the same accommodations as last year. There has been one room sdded to ths Saratoga school during tbe vacation, giving that building an Increased capacity of from forty to fifty pupils, which was badly needed, and it may be found necessary to provide additional room outside for soms of the other schools. The sggregats enrollment ot th schools last year waa nearly 20,000 and It is but reasonable to presume that there will bs mors or leas of an increase this year. Last year none ot tha buildings had any surplus room and a number of them were sven overcrowded. 8uca was the caae at tbe Kellom and Long schools, snd the Park school for a portion ot ths year. Tbe Monmouth Park building waa crowded at all times throughout the year and so were the Centrsl and Leavenworth.

DIRECTORS NOW IN ANNUAL SESSION Western Roads FaclnaT Serloaa Prob lem la Matter of Transportation Vast Grain Crop Wabash Have Prospereas Month, The annual meeting of the directors of the Chicago Great Western was held yes terday in Chicago. More vital interests than have been considered at any meeting of the Stlckney directorate In recent years, it is said, came before thl meeting. Mat ter of future policy wars to be acted upon and' In this connection it was reported that President Stlckney's oft-reported pur pose of selling the road may come In for serious consideration. It is no unpopular belief among railroad men that, despite tha somewhst aggressive extension policy on which the Great Western has recently launched. It sagacious executive still has his eys upon a prospective' purchaser, and it is held In some quarters that tha build ing of ths Fort Dodge ft Omaha extension is really a part of the plan to place the road on the market to bs sold to ths high est bidder. Ths recent precipitation of freight rates on packing products, which created a real sensation In the transporta tion world of ths west, is pointed to as another element of this scheme. ' A dsy or two sgo, Just In tims to givs free snd unrestricted circulation to the story before tbe meeting was held, it was given cut that the annuel report to be presented by President Stlckney to this meeting of ths directors would show a most flattering condition of affairs. It wss said this report would show tbst th road bad enjoyed a year of most remark able success, which gavs It an excellent chance for ths new year. Notwithstanding this statement, however, th earnings for the month of August of the Great Western show a decrease of $56,505 in gross and $62,833 In the- net income aa compared with th corresponding month Isst ysar. Preblem ef Crop Movement. All the western road, especially the Omaha-Chicago lines, ar facing a serious problem la the matter of transporting the vast grain crop. An official ot one ot these lines is authority for the statement that every road will be taxed to its utmost to accommodate tbs trads It will ba called upon to accept. He believes that the strain will prove the greatest of recent years, but ia not pessimistic a to tbe ability of the railroad to solve the problem, or. In other word, he believe they will be able to get th grain to market in good shape. "For some time the roads have been pre paring for thl increased traffic," be said "All tbe extra rare and englnss and other facilities that ran be mustered into service have been placed where they can be dratted when the time come and it I doubtful If all th roads have as yet proven their ability to command all the car necessary but I believe thl will be done in time and that no actual dearth of car will be ex perienced or at leaat no dearth serious enough to keep the grain away from market when It should be transported." Complaints Against Rate Redaction There Is still considerable dissatisfaction among tbs freight .uen over th grain rates. Many ar complaining that they are too low snd effort havs bten mads to raise them, but thus far without avail. Th bear ish Influence ot James J.
