a tho late action Of the president who has
, now assumed all responsibility. This in
formation may have the effect Of indncing
u, strike. II the employees of the road can
be convinced that they will not get their
money they will put On their coats ana
N quit the service Of the road but, IN Al!
probability the president, even If he
should fail to obtain outside money, will
be enabled to keep hs promise TO the EN-
