So far as can be learned this morning the
strike situation at the machine shops Of the
Southern railroad in this city has not be-
come serious enough to give the officials of
the company much concern. Business con-
tinued this morning as usual. 1t is said that
the places of the seven machinists who left
Saturday, as reported in The Star, will be
filled without trouble. The strictest secrecy
is being observed by both the officials and
the strikers. 1t is known that the discon-
tented workmen have held meetings, when
the situation was discussed, but the action
taken. If any was taken has been withheld
from the public. 1t is reported this morning
that several other employees of the company
went out, but nothing could be ascertained
by inquiry at the machine shops. There is
no doubt however, that the representatives
of some labor union have been working
among the machiniSts employed at the
Southern shops and have succeeded in Gre
ating considerable feeling.
