switchmen's Strike F'izzIes.

Chicago. Oct. 16.-The division OF
the forces of the railroad switchmen
into three camps makes it extremely
improbable that there viii be any
strike on October Is, as contemplated.
This becomes evident when Grand
Master P II. Morrissey of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen. arrived in
Chicago with some discouraging re-
ports.
He pointed out that only about 80
per cent of the switchmen would re-
spond to a strike order issued by the
sWitchmen's union, and that there
fore, the movement would be doomed
to failure.
sOf the $4,000 men engaged in
switching. our brotherhood controls

would leave, allowing for the uncrgan-
lied men, minority who may be de-
pended on to go out"
Mr.. Morrissey added that he took
little stock in the rumors being circu-
lated to the effect that a great tieup OF
railroad business was in prospect.
Movements such as this one must be
conducted slowly and conservativelys
he said.
For some time the Brotherhood Of
Trainmen has been preparing to make
an appeal fer higher wages and an
eight hour day for its switcnmen. Our
plan of action is fully formulated but
we are not going to rush into trouble
