Chicago. Sept. 29--The long-threat-
ened strike of shopmen on the lIarri-
man lines, including the Illinois Cen
tral, will become reality at 10
o'clock tomorrow morning unless the
men who have twice voted a strike re-
fuse to obey the order sent out today
by the presidents OF the five inter-
national unions directly involved.
The presidents say the men have
not weakened In their desire to force
the railroads to recognize their newly
established federation of shop em-
ployes and that more than ninety per
cent of the men will go out.
Others. however, say the workers
do not want to strike that they have
been forced into their position by the
union leaders and that great ma
jority will refuse to leave their work.
The railroads are In good shape to
stand a strike right now, according
to officials. A retrenchment order re-
Gently issued reduced the number of
employees nearly twenty-five per cent
and there is q sufficient number of
idle men In all crafts to permit the
roads to keep their shops running
even II all the men go out.

sultatlon over the long distance tele-
