FIREMEN'S STRIKE IS SERIOUS
Southern Pacific Transcontinental
Freight Tied Up Tight.
Competing Lines, Fearing Sympa-
thetic WaIk-Out, Decline 10 Touch
Cars from Road Involved.

Dallas. Tex. Dec. A-The strike of
Southern Pacific fremen took a worse
turn this evening than earlier develop
ments Of the day indicated. The Texas
Pacific declined 10 accept through trans
continental freights, on the ground Of
having as much business Of its own as
the road can handle
The Texas Pacific being the real paral-
lei and competing line from New Or
leans to FL Paso. in fact the shorter line
of the two. it would naturally be the first
road the Southern Pacific would look 10
for accommodation in its present en-
barrassment. But the Texas Pacific evil
IDENTIFY has determined to keep out OF
trouble.
The California orange crop is just being
rushed to Eastern markets for holiday
demands; in fact. the movement Of this
large and important class of freight be-
gan with Thanksgiving Tt is just at its
height. and large quantities are in South
ern Pacific cars between California and
Texas. Losses may be heavy and damage
claims serious.
The large number Of inter-Texas lines
owned by the Southern Pacific. such as
the Houston and Texas, central group;
the Texas and New Orleans. from Dallas
to Beaumont, and numerous older roads
are already embarrassed. and cannot han
die freight intended for the main line or
for the Atlantic division Of the Southern
Pacific. Through freight is being re-
fused.
The leaders Of the strike gave out
stif warning to-day against sympathetic
lines.
Second Vice Grand Master Shea, Of the
fremen's organization, declared that if
any engines or employees of the Houston
and Texas Central are called on to lend
assistance to the Southern Pacific, that
all Hartman lines of the country viii
Immediately be involved, and the men
called out He added that any roads
permitting their fremen or switch en-
gines to be used by the roads now in
volved in this strike will be considered
as unfair and the firemen called out.
There has been no disturbances or dem
onstrations. Passenger trains are being
operated on schedule, but freight trains
are enectuaHy tied up.
Vice President Fay, Of the Southern
Pacific. declares this condition will be
only for a day or two. Shea says the
fremen will win, and that he does not
fear the result of national arbitration,
should it come.
