Quit 1 the Company Claim to Be In Splendid Condition to Stand the Strike About Jorty Go Out In This City OMAHA Neb April 17Six hundred men employed in the Union Pacific shops struck here at noon The men who went out were machinists boiler makers blacksmiths moulders and pattern junkers The employees claim that the company has acted in bad faith concerning the fulfillment of a agreement entered into allow the force of men employed to reduce itself when time was below the standard of nine hours a day It is claimed that the company instead of allowing the forca of men employed to educ itself actually has kept up a lull quota of men and in some shops Omaha included has increased the force The company has not only increased the force but reduced the standard of nine hours to eight for a working day on January 15 of of this year employees claim have a written agreement signed by General Manager Dickinson and Assistant Superintendent Slertzheimer that while the men are working eight hours it isunderstood the places of the men who leave the service will not be filled ex jeut when absolutely necessary in order io carry on work to advantage vantage there being no intention of doing anything that might be construed us bad faith or standing in the way of this plan taking out naturally and speedily as soon a the force hm been reduced sufficiently to establish a standard of nino hours The aggrieved employees claim that no effort has been made by the company to live up the terms of the agreement and that while they are working on an eight hour basis other roads are paying the same rate of wages and work their men ten hours a day The executive board representing the employees has been endeavoring persuade President persqte Clark and McDonnell the general master mechanic of the Union Pacific system to modify their views concerning the interpretation of the agreement to reduce the force and increase the working hours from eight to nine The officials have held several conferences with the committee but were unable to arrive at a satisfactory agreement and the strike today was the result McConnell superintendent of motive power in an interview said the difficulty was not a matter of wages or hours of work but simply the refusal of the company sign the new contract submitted by the men regulating the conditions under which they should work The first proposition was submitted him which he refused to sign It was then taken to President Clark who also declined One of the primary objections to the contract demanded that when necessary to reduce expenses and the men were obliged to work eight hours the company should not employ any new boiler makers machinists blacksmiths moulders The men finally withdrew this proposition and presented another which provided that when working eight hours a day the company should not employ any of the above named craftsmen until after 10 per cant of the force had been discharged per McConnell stated would prevent interested men working eight hours thereby practically taking the contract of hiring the men out of the companys bands Superintendent McConnell would not say just how many men would be affected The Knights of Labor in the shops refused strike as a bulletin was posted by the executive committee of District Assembly ordering them to remain at work as by striking they would violate their contract There are only a few I knights among them The men in the companys shops at North Platte have also struck I The strike inaugurated today affects about 2500 men on the system and only affects the workers of iron or those men working eight hours instead of nine as they alleged they were promised on Jan 15 The towns most affected in addition to Omaha arc Denver Cheyenne Salt Lake Rawlins Armstrong Pocatello Evanston Laramie Grand and Shoshone From conversations with officials i the concensus of opinion was that the I road has never been in a better condition ito undergo a strike than at the present i time I tme The rolling stock is in much better shape although coming out of winter than in October last Of 160 engines on the Nebraska division alone there is not one that has not been in the shops In the last nine months and although the shops have been turning out two engines on an average per day having undergone light and heavy repairs the officials do not hear hesitate say they can go on for the next ninety days without the men who walked out today President Clark refused to make any detailed statement of the differences between the men and the company saying his remarks might be misconstrued and irritation would rise He believed the men a a whole would not act rashly and the strike would not be general The men he said simply asked more than the company granted and he could not to the over extent them desired surrender his authority KO SRI AT DE ERA Committee Goes to Omaha to Straighten Thing Out DENVER April liThe threatened strike of machinists boilermakers and blacksmiths employed in the Union Pacific shops here did not occur today The men are in the dark in regard to the trouble and tonight a committee was sent to Omaha straighten things

received irom the general grievance committee at Omaha between forty and fifty machinists blacksmiths and boilermakers employed in the Union Pacific shops in this city quit work at noon yesterday The strike affects all the men employed in the above branches of shop work over the entire Union Pacific system numbering four or five thousands The men who walked out at the Union Pacific shops in this city are members of the machimst boiler makers and blacksmiths union and several apprentices and helpers not members of any union The grievance is not a local one as the men here were generally pretty well contented and would not have struck but for the action of the Omaha committee Superintendent Young stated that the work of the shops would not be seriously blockaded as there were 300 workmen altogether and there were enough loft carry on all necessary repairs The foundry and car shops arc running with full force the strike being confined to the boiler and engine shops The strikers conducted themselves in avery orderly manner no demonstrations er of any character being made They held a meeting at 3 oclock which was well attended and at which it was decided to stand by the action of the grievance committee and fight it out The dispute between the Knights of Labor and the Union Pacific management so far as can be learned from the members of the local unions relates to hours pf labor Last October when work was slack schedule was signed by both sides under which the men consented to reduction of hours and wages in order to ayoid a reduction of the force with the understanding that the force was not to be increased until after the old hours and wages had been restored It is alleged that the company has violated this agreement The grievance committee were in conference with General Manager Clark for several days and failing to reach an agreement ordered a strike on Sunday The local officials do not anticipate any trouble There is no local dispute and the strike will be settled at Omaha Corresponding Secretary Watkins of the boilermakers union was seen by a HERALD representative but declined to give out any information further than that the men would stand by the action taken by the grievance committee We have a big fight on our hands said he and a hard fight It is a fight of against I will not men money wi say what we did this afternoon further than that we

Report of the Investigating Committee I mittee Filed A SENSATIONAL STOEY I Employees Found Gniliy of Theft and Embezzlement I They Stole Furniture Carpets Books Stationery Chemicals and Everything in Sight Their Homes Carpeted by the Government I WASHINGTON April 17 Secretary Morton this afternoon received a report from Assistant AttorneyGeneral Colby who conducted the investigation into the charges of illegal and fraudulent disposal of public property in the weather bureau The secretary announces that he will take the matter under advisement as the recommendations are a follows Immediate discharge of officials and employees guilty of theft embezzlement or unauthorized of government property and their prosecution criminally and civilly the entire reorganization of the executive management and control of the bureau that no government property be loaned out or taken from the departmenc for private puorposes under any circumstances whatever and no property to betaken taken for official use except upon requisition duly signed and approved and for which a receipt is given That property carried on rolls of the bureau be sold only at public auction after due advertisement that that practice of loaning money now prevailing in the weather bureau between employees and officers aud especially by those of inferior rank to their superior in official position be absolutely prohibited The entire reorganization of the execu ive management and control of the bureau and the official separation as much as practicable and a far as property responsibility is concerned of executive from that which is purely scientific or educational the establishment of such regulations as shall require strict account bility from each employee charged with possession or control of government property and centering in one official the control of and responsibility for the whole property of the bureau that a careful inventory ventory be taken of government property in the bureau Among the principal findings of fact by the assistant attorneygeneral were these That 1 February 1893 a number of brass and iron moldings exceeding50 in value were sold to Brannon captain of I the watch without legal authority and no return was made therefor thata number I of yards of carpet and other articles belonging to the government were disposed of by said Brannon and no returns made that John Ryan an employee of the bureau had in the cellar of his residence in February 1893 a quantity of new government property that a large new piece of linoleum procured for use in the bureau was during the yea 182 taken therefrom and disposed of by employees of the gov rnment without authority and no return made that many articles of property belonging to the government such as type stationery office supplies furniture bound record books chemical materials and SOD thermometers were taken therefrom in the months of July and August 1892 and disposed of without legal authority and no returns made therefor That five carpets complete for rooms of undetermined dimensions and seventy eight yards of measured carpet have entirely disappeared from the weather bureau and none of the officers or employers thereof could or would furnish any information with regard to such property or account for its absence Sixtyseven yards of unmeasured carpet however proved to have been in the residence of Brannon for the past six months The evidence shows that property of the government has been removed from the bureau from time to time at the pleasure of employees or officers for use at their private residences without receipts being given requisition made or any record of such disposition in the bureau I further appears that the captain of the watch Brannon practiced loaning money at high rates of interest to the officers and employees of the bureau both I to those above and below him in rank thus placing his superior officers under financial obligations to him I HUMORS OF CHOLERA Tho Authorities However Pronounce the Sickness Typhus CHICAGO April 17A morning paper contained a sensational dispatch from St Paul the effect that a man just in from Winnepeg reports the arrival there of immigrants from the cholera stricken parts of Russia and that some had died on the way and others were down with genuine Asiatic cholera The health authorities here have advices direct from Winnepeg saying that the immigrants spoken of have typhus fever not cholera Advices to the Associated Press from Minneapolis are to a similar effect A dispatch from Winnipeg this evening says the report that either cholera or typhus fever is in that vicinity is utterly without truth and is undoubtedly the work of a faking special correspondent I TRAINS ABANDONED A Kansas Railroad Shut

Outline What tho Policy Will Be WASHINGTON April 17Secretary Carlisle absolutely declines to outline his future financial action preferring to await the arrival of an emergency before indicating what he will do He had this morning an extended interview with Senator Sherman who has been twice secretary of the treasury and this afternoon will confer with the president Both Secretary Carlisle and the president have been inundated all morning with telegrams from New York and other points The order for 1250000 gold engaged for expoit tomorrow reduces the free gold in the treasury to about 500000 A consultation was held this afternoon between Secretary Carlisle and President Cleveland All efforts to learn the result of the conference have thus far failed The Star says Secretary Carlisle Is understood be opposed to the Issuance of bonds for the present at least 1 is his judgment that it would be preferable to utilize a portion of the gold reserve fund until it becomes apparent that the issuance of bonds is an absolute necessity Among officials of the treasury department there i not the least fear or apprehension expressed of any financial embarrassment growing out of gold shipments They are satisfied they say that shipments are being forced by those who will be benefitted by the issue of bonds and as soon as the brokers and bankers are positive that their attempt to force an issue of bonds i useless just so soon will gold shipments cease It is understood that there i some difference ference of opinion between President Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle the I president rather leaning toward the issuance of bonds should the free gold be entirely exported It is thought however that i the present month can betided over the financial situation will assume a different
