TO BE NO BIG STRIKE.
The Switchmen 40 Not Intend to Mak
Trouble.

Trouble.
CHICAGO, March l3.-Official denial
of an intended strike among the
switchmen was made at the meeting of
the Grievance Committees of the
Switchmen's Mutual Aid Association.
The delegates, representing every road
centering in Chicago, declared that the
switchmen had either been misrepre
scented or that there was misappre-
hension as to their position. The
statement was rife yesterday morning
that there was to be strike, that the
men were unalterably opposed to the
general managers, that they were
highly incensed and there was no
possibility of avoiding trouble. Almost
without word the conservative ac-
ton of the men in council assembled
gave direct denial of these rumors.
After the meeting the delegates re-
fused to talk, and to al questions said
that Grand Master John Wilson would
speak for them.
Mr. Wilson did not hesitate to ex-
press his view on the situation. .'There
appears to have been misapprehen-
sion of the position Of the switchmen
all along" said he. eve think it is
about time we were being set right.
In the first place the Switchmen's Mu-
tual Aid Association has not made any
demands on the roads, and has, there
fore, not placed itself in a position
that could be considered arbitrary or
unreasona bic. We have even now no
quarrel with the general managers,
and are by no means looking for
la Dor disturbance The switchmen
did make request for an increase in
wages. but there is a wide difference
between request and a demand
THE talk about a strike Tuesday
noon is positively without authority
and was not given out by any friend of
the Switchmen' s Mutual Aid Associa-
ton. We do not want to be placed in
a wrong light, and we do not think
that any one who processes to be
friend of organized labor will willfully
do SO. We recognize the general feel
ing, and wish TO be placed on the side
of friendship as regards the great
Worlds Columbian Exposition. There
never was any desire on the part Of the
organized switchmen to jeopardize the
success Of that undertaking. Our re-
quest for an increase in wages would
have been made at this time if the
Worlds Fair had never been heard Of.
It positively had no influence on our
original deliberations, and the fact
that we might have been in position
to cripple it by a general strike did
not make its full impression until we
saw it in the newspapers We desire
to be regarded as we are-friends of
the Fair.
There will be no strike of the
switchmcn. If there is trouble it will
be precipitated by the general man
ayers locking out the men"
