evening. should be kept secret, but such
feeling has sprung mp with most menn-
bers over the result of the recent strike
that several We're willing to talk. tonight
one of the leaders in the strike stated
that the meeting, last night. was SenSa-
tional one for the most part. \ former
foreman he said. deliberately charged
that the general grievance committee
which had charge OF the strike had sold
out the strikers 10 the management. The
foreman had worked hard during the
strike in an attempt to keep the men
from returning To work and he was very
bitter in his denunciation OF the commit
tee.
\ member of the committee who was
present took exceptions to the remarks
of the foreman, wherelpon the latter
crossed the room in Il threatening man
ner and the committeeman subsidized.
The foreman declared that the action
of the committee was unjust to the men
and contrary To what the committee had
been instructed To do. He said that the
result of the strike was the death blow
TO the Order of Railroad Trackmcn in
Maine at least and hard blow at or
ganZed labor generally.
The foreman offered a resolution con-
demnng action of the general grievance
commit tee, and il was adopted unani-
nuusiy.
Reliable information indicates that
about 90 per cent. OF the strikers have
returned to their old jobs. There are
numerous cases where toe strikers secur-
ed better employment, and these decline
to go hack to work at the old wages.
There ar. also instances where the road
