ATTITUDE IS DOUBTFUL
at Washington and
Elects Officers
Latest reports from all over the country bearing on the
railway crisis brought about by the "outlaw" st^jke of
switchmen at Chicago are contradictor)-, but on the whole
decidedly encouraging. Leaders of the insurgent union
claim they are holding their own, but railway executives
and brotherhood officials insist the walkout is entering its
last stage.
At the Chicago conference of strike heads today rec-
ognition of the union as the switchmen's governing body
was added to the original demands of the "outlaws." Stock-
yards advices indicate the movement of freight above the
usual Saturday volume.
The Railway Labor Board appointed by President Wil-
son got down to brass tacks at Washington and named R.
M. Barton of Tennessee permanent chairman, and C. R.
Carrithers of Texas secretary.
Buffalo switchmen are taking a referendum on an
agreement reached between representatives of the railroads
and the old and new unions providing for an immediate
return to duty.
New York district strikers, at a mass meeting in Ho
boken tonight, voted to remain off duty until assured an
increase of pay, "regardless of action elsewhere."
Passenger train crews returned to work at Cleveland
in response to orders from the president of the local "out-
law" union.
Over 1,000 railway employes at Toledo, who have been
out for the last 10 days, reported for duty this morning and
were given (heir old runs.
