BOILERMAKERS ON NEW YORK
CENTRAL LINES 60 ON STRIKE
General Order Is Issued In cleveland,
Owing TO Controversy Over
Piece Work.

CLEVELAND. Ohio, Feb. 20.--A
general strike order for all boiler
makers employed on the New York
Central lines was issued today by
Lewis Weyand, vice-president OF the
International executive council or
Boilermakers and Iron Shipbuilders.
Eighty men at the Collingwood,
Ohio, shops walked out at 10 o'clock,
when the $50 other railroad boiler
makers at the various shops OF the
company At other points also went
on strike.
The men went on strike because
the railroad, they ailege, inaugurated
the piece work system. The men say
this Is In violation of an agreement
% to 30 per cent. Under the old plan,
the men got 80 cents an hour.
A vote was taken on the PROPOSE
ton of striking and the ballots were
counted last week. Seventy-eight
per cent OF the men voted to 20 out.
Whether there will be sympathe-
tic strike will not be known for ten
days. The railway brotharhoods wils
not go out in sympathy but the pat
ternmakers, machinists, blacksmiths
and mOlderS may.
Weyand will not propose a sympa-
thetic strike until he sees how thu
boliermakers' strike Is coming on. a
strike OF sympathizers would affect
800 men here and 10000 along the
New York Central lines.
Asked what effect the strike order
would have on the Detroit boiler shop
of the Michigan Central railway, an
Official In the general managers Office
told The Times that he didn't think
Detroit would be included In the
strike, and that, II IL were, only a few
men would be affected, as there were
not many boilermakers IN the local
railway shops. An Official In the ONCE
Of the superintendent. OF motive power
said he thought the strike order would
affect Detroit.
