employment bureau is also located there.

FIGHT 10 THT BITTER End.
1t is the general opinion among rail
road officers that the American Rail
way Union In attempting TO tie up al
the roads in the United states that
carry Pullman sleepers, ana incidentally
those that do not. has undertaken Il
herculean task. While 10 is true that
almost every road running into Chicago
is in a measure feeling the dlsanecuon
among It's employees, ana losing much
money thereby. it is equally true mat
a stff and determined fight Is being put
up 10y the general managers against IN"
boycott. and that they agreed to use
every possible means 10 defeat the ends
of the strikers. II is likely TO BE-
fight TO the bitter end. but the chances,
from thc vicw point ~ Ho"NrrN hui,i
ing. seem to be now with the railroads.
Meetings are held daily.
