that unless these engines are removed at
one a strike will bo declared which will
take from the Southern Pacific every boiler
makor in Its employ. Similar action will
be taken by the other crafta.
Following the concemlon of the Mil
waukee officials to remove the engine
which they had loaned the Union Paclfln,
President McNeil resumed negotiations
with President E. II.' Harrlman, at New
York, for the withdrawal of the Southern
Paolflo locomotives. McNeil yesterday
received a telegram from President Harrl
man denying that any Southern Paclilo
englnea are or bad been In the service
of the Union Pacific. He said the matter
had been referred to President Burt. Presl
dont Burt Is not In the city, but Is ex
pected back from the west In day or
two, when the matter may be taken up
with htm, not however as a means of de
termining action for the boiler makera.
alnce they have already reaolved that a
general strike must follow on the Southern
Pacific If Harrlman persists In Ignoring the
demand.
McNeil la Positive.
McNeil Insists that he has positive In
formation that Southern Pacific engines
have been and are now In use by the Union
Pacific. He wired Mr. Harrlman to thla ef
yect yesterday and added that these engines,
ten In number, were made for the southern
Pacific, but the Union Pacific fell tempo
rary heir to them. McNeil has telegraphed
the leader of every local boiler makera
lodge on the Southern Pacific of the corre
spondence between himself and Harrlman,
and has Instructed them to bold their re
spective lodges in readiness for a com
plete strike upoj an hour's notice.
"I have apprised Mr. Harrlman of my
aotlon," sand Mr. McNeil. "We know
these engines are on the system, and If they
aro not withdrawn without further delay
I will forthwith call a strike that will take
out every boiler maker on the Southern
Pacific. .Ve are not seeking, trouble; we
have neyer sought its- Thla strike was
forced on us in the first place. We re
solved at the outset that no other road
should join hand with the Union Paclfio
against us If we could help It, and we are
determined to atand by that resolution.
This Is unfair, and wo cannot tolerate it
With a fair chance we can win thla strike
from the Union Pacific. However, if the
Southern Pacific wanta to cut in, It will
find -ua equal to the occasion, and no doubt
much more formidable than might have
boen suspected. , All ur men and those of
the machinists and blacksmiths are more
determined today than they were last June
when tb(a atruggta, pemn, and we. will not'
submit at this lata 'day. We are prepared
for-a atill Ion go r fight, If necessary."
