 IS NOT THREATENED

Chicago, Dec. civilian c. Lee, President of the motherhood of Rail- way Trainmen, sent from here tonight . telegram to President Taft assuring the Chief Executive that sensational reports concerning general railroad strike were without foundation.
 The following Is President Lees mes sage:
 Hon. W. H. Taft. Washington. D. C.:
 Tn order that yourself and the pub lie may know the truth. I deem 1t nec- essary to state that the press reports indicating that strike of the Brother hood of Railway. Trainmen and other afiliated organizations is threatened at this time as result of the demands made for increased pay in the territory east of Chicago. are absolutely vita out foundation.
 .sWhatever action is taken by the or ranixation I represent. will depend en- tireIy upon individual expression of the members through the general com mittees for the railways in the terri tories, and will be handled in the usual manner
 ..The demand of the trainmen in cer- tain yards in certain territory east of Chicago. cannot take proper form even for deliberate consideration between the railway officials and their employees before the early part sf 1910.
 "All this talk aboutsa strike of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen and affiliated organizations Is absurd. and the membership of the organization fully realizes 1t.

 "At the close of the sixth day or the switchmens strike read the statement, i've have shown greater progress than any day since the strike was called. That we feel little concern about our ability to move Christmas merchandise. live stock ana perishable freight Is evidenced by the fact that all lines continue to accept all traffic to and from all points with out restriction. and unless conditions were practically normal. 1t can pc readily determined that the raiiroaos would hardly use the bad business Judgment of continuing to accep. freight to fill up their terminals anu freight houses at the risk of enormous losses."
