REMAINS
Yesterday Brought Forth No New
Developments in the Strike Situa-
tion.

Very little information could be
gained yesterday in regard to the
strike situation. All of the men in the
various departments of the mainten-
ance Of way have been ordered u
but 1t is impossible to learn the per-
eentage that has complied with the
order. The statement made by the ~
fcers Of the brotherhood and those Ivy
the railroad officials in regard to the
number of men who have stopped work
varies SO widely that we will not
give it.
Many strikers were gathered around
the Coast Line building yesterday.
being attracted there no doubt by he

tween the railroad officials and the
officers of the 1. B. of NJ. of w. E.
Mr.. John T. Wilson. of St. Louis

erhood of Maintenance of Way En-
ployes, is in the city. MIR. Wilson was
seen by a representative of The Mes
senger last night in regard to the strike
situation. When asked what the
maintenance of way employees Were
asked for a 10 per cent increase IN
their salary and a ten hour day. The
system at the present time it is said.
requires IL hours during seven
months Of the year and 9 during five
months. They also want a set of rules
governing the manner of dismissing an
employe. That is when an employee
is dismissed he wishes the privilege OF
carrying the matter before the head
officials Of the road before he is
dropped from the service.
The Officials Of the Coast Line have
sontended from the start that there
was really no grievance to adjust and
hey still maintain this stand.
New men are being employees TO fill!
the places OF the strikers. A fore, Cf
workmen were put to work OF the new
Coast line building yesterday to fill
the places Of these who haa struck. .
