THREAT TO EXTEND
STRIKE OF THE
SW|TCHMEN
Labor Leaders Declare Breach
Is Wider Than Ever
ALLIED ORDERS MAY GO OUT
Conductors, Engineers, Firemen and
Tralnmen May Take Hand in
Forcing the Issue

st. Paul, Dec 2S.-Contrary to the
representations of Governor Eber-
hart, the controversy between the
railroads of the Northwest and the
striking swtichmen did not end in an
amicable settlement yesterday, and
according to officers of the Swithch-
mems Union Of North America the
breach is wider than heretofore. Not
only have the switchmen declared all
negotiations with the railroads ter
minated, but the labor leaders say
that there is a strong possibility of a
general strike by all of the allied or
ders belonging to the Railway
Branch of the American Federation
of Labor. Conductors, engineers,
firemen, trainmen and many switch
men, are, however, not affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor
