ed to walk out in sympathy, this move
ment. according to the heads of the

made only when 1t is seen that the
strike cannot be won by other methods
Although police were stationed at the
freight houses, no violence or disorders
OF any kind were reported.
Only a few pickets were sent cut. and
these were carefully selected by the
business agents of the various locals.
The officers of the organization have
cautioned the men against disorder and
have advised them to keep away from
the freight houses and from the saloons
The strike leaders today were con-
fident that the railroads would be will
ing to grant at least a part of their
