Mr.. Egan said: 81 anticipate before
the close of the strike serious trou bic.
A large number of the men have
struck without just understanding
what they have struck for, and when
they find their places being taken by
new men they are bound to grow des.
perate. l do not look for any easy
termination of the strike but we will
certainly be prepared here after today
to secure all of the new men that we
wish and to bring about as early a
termination of the strike as possible.
Except in a few instances the gene
raj train services of the roads have not
been interrupted, and while it will
take time to get order out of the chaos
that has been precipitated, we will do
this. do not anticipate the slightest
difficulty in getting all the men we
need, and they will be practical rail-
road men. We are in the fight to
stay, and there will be no compromise
or give up"
