road system In reference TO a strike. Mr..
Shea said II was probable that this count
would be made tomorrow though even
that was not certain.
Among some II the minor executive Of
ficials OF the railway the opinion which
had been expressed all along that there
would be no strike, was reiterated again
last night.
From a member OF the brotherhood In
close touch with the situation it was
learned that a telegram suggesting arbi-
trauon had como 10 Mr.. Shea from
