The strike of the switchmen's union
in the northwest was indorsed yester-
day by the Chicago Federation Of La

They declared that if the strike is
extended TO Chicago every Brotherhood
man employed in the Chicago terminal
yards will go out with the members of
the switehmen's union.
I officers of the brotherhood in general
were denounced as "spineless ours" and
President W. G. Lee, by innuendo, was
characterized as wolf in Sleeps
