NEW HAVEN
STRIKE ENDS
Men Ordered To Return To
Their Work
BY A UNION OFFICIAL
Vice President fitzgerald Of Switch

warranted.
BY A UNION OFFICIAL

New Haven, Aug. 13.--The strike Of
the switchmen in the New Haven yards
Of the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford railroad Is declared to be at an end
by Second Grand Vice President Val
Fitzpatrick of the brotherhood Of rail
road trsinmen, who has not only ordered
the strikers to return TO work ii they
can secure their old places, but further
orders all local unions to assist The
grand officers in filling the vacancies at
New Haven with competent men. The
order 70 end the strike was given Sat
Iurday night in the form OF notice To
the chairman Of local grievance commit
tees on the New Haven system, and by
posting a duplicate copy Mt New Haven,
% that it could be read BY the striking
switchmen.
The situation as developed BY the per
emptory ending Of the strike II said to
be unique in the labor world Mfr. Fitz-
patrick maintains that the sincerity Of
purpose Of the brotherhood in its deal
ings and agreemnts with the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad must
be upheld, and as he finds that the strike
WAS both Illegal and unwarranted and
as the company viii refuse to take back
the strikers, the duty Of the brotherhood,
through the grand officers, is to fill every
strikers place with competent, trust
worthy men, even ii men must be taken
from other railroads for the time being.
The strike Of the switchmen, about 26o
In number, began Tuesday morning.
Saturday afternoon Mr. Fitzpatrick
aud Mr.. Murdoch called upon Mr.. Hig-
gins. The latter, it is understood, stated
that be would not take back any Of the
strikers, and That the brotherhood would
be expected to keep its agreement to fill
the strikers places with men who could
be trusted and who knew railroad work.
The decision ending the strike means, 1t
it stated, that not only will the brother
hood fill the vacant places by hiring men
who are out Of employment at present,
and who come up to requirements, but
they viii draw upon local bodies
wherever ii il possible to get men in
order that the railroad will not be in
convenienced Both Mr. Fitzpatrick and

ually replace with men OF their order
the men who were engaged as strike
breakers. The strikers upon learning Of
the decision Of the grand officers would
say nothing.
After matters are Strengthened many
alleged grievances the local bodies OF
railroad employees may have will be pre-
sented to the company, should there be
warrant for such action. Mr. Fitz-
patrick and Mr.. Murdock expect to be
al New Haven for some time. The strike
has not only caused congestion IN The
New Haven freight yards. but it has
brought heavy monetary loss TO the com
|pany.
