71 PER CENT VOTE TO QUIT
Following- a secret count of the
strike ballots of Union- Pacific con
ductors by District' Judge) Day and
his court stenographer, the announce
mcnt that the .count shows a .total
vote of 361 in favor, and 112 against,
and that the percentage in favor of
the-strike is 71.01 as claimed, the re
straininsr order preventing the con
ductors from striking was dissolved
and the cost of the action taxed
against Edwin A. Hamilton, the plain
tiff. The temporary order was issued
by Judge Sears, but the final hearing
was before Judge Day. ( t ,.
For an hour attorneys battled over
the question of submitting the secret
ballots to the eyes of the court. After
undergoing an exhaustive examination
by Attorney Sullivan for the plaintiff,
C. H. Friday of Laramie, Wyo gen
eral chairman of the committee of
adjustment, admitted that he - was
present at the first count of the bal
lots at New York, that he had ex
pressed the ballots from New York
to Laramie and Drougni inem to
Omaha in a satchel. He admitted
that the package was opened at the
Carleton hotel and the ballots were
again counted , Friday night, , but he
denied knowledge of their -whereabouts.'
' ' ' :
, :-V;". ' Brings in Ballots. ;:
Ahoiit that time C. F. McLaughlin
of the firemen's union appeared with
a bundle under his arm. -
'-Permission of Attorneys Jefferis
and Tunison. acting for the brother
hoods, was given to the court to count
the ballots, with the( provision that
th names nf the sieners be kept
secret- from Union : Pacific, officials
and ethers interested.
' Attorney Sullivan -had- threatened
to .call General .Manager Jeffers. of
the Union Pacific to the witness stand
to attack statements of Mr. Friday
unless the ballots were admitted tor
the court count. Mr. Jeffers had said
that Friday had told hint that but 56
per cent had voted to strike. " 4 1
Affidavits ,on Count. ,
Three affidavits of those present in
the Bristol hotel at New York when
the ballots were counted, submitted
in court Saturday when the case., was
called, caused Attorney Sullivan to
declare that if it was shown that
the required two-thirds of the con
ductors voted m favor of the strike
he was willing to ask his case dis
missed.. His action at the afternoon
session carried out his promises.
The chief contention of Conductor
Hamilton in his application asking the
Union Pacific conductors restrained
from striking was that the twp-thirds
majority had not been secured. "
C. H. Friday , and C. S. Hoffman,
chairman of the . local committee on
adjustment, were not 'in court at 3
o'clock. Attorneys for the 'complain
ing conductor insisted that the court
demand their presence and a hurry-up
call was sent tor them., Mr. rndays
testimony told of several conferences
with General Manager Jeffers of the
Union Pacific and his steadfast re
fusal to divulge the vote of Union Pa
cific conductors on the strike situa
tion.". He admitted informing Mr.
Jeffers that the vote of the conductors
in the Western association was 85
per cnt in favor of the strike. Ex
amination finally disclosed the where
abouts of the strike ballots and they
were : produced by "Mr. McLaughlin
with the explanation, that conductors
were assured their names would be
kept secret. Judge Pay agreed to
withhold their names in making the
uiunt. . ,
