Far Reaching Effects of the Strike of LAX e
Erie Switchmen-
MUNCIE, Ind, Jan. 16.-The Strikiug
Lake Erie switchmen are still out and
business in the yards is at a standstiil.
The company is simply laying quiet
with Assistant General superintendent
Jarvis here to be ready to meet any
emergencies. The yards are blOckaded
with much desired freight wanted at
the big industries on the South side
and last night the Muncic wood pulp
works was compelled to close down for
want of material The Darneu iron
works, Indiana iron works and other big
concerns will close because of the same
reason. By forcing the mills to
close the men expect to win. The union
laboring men in the mills and factories
were visited by a walking delegate
from the Trades council and Instructed
to work no material delivered by scab
switchmen. The manufacturers say
the men shall work the material, and
here is the bright prospect for more and
very serious trouble. Every branch OF
labor is unionized here, and with the
combined help that now seems inmi-
nent for the strikers the company has
but little show of winning. The team
sters and draymen are talking of refus-
ing to deliver goods to merchants re-
ceived by the road if it persists IN
ignoring the unions, and the Clerks
union will instruct the clerks to refuse
to sell the goods
