genCy.
Strike Is Scrious.
The dispatch last night from New
port News says:
THAT the strike OF the clerks en-
ployed at the local terminal of the
Chesapeake and Ohio railway has as
stunned serious proportions ia evident
today. Nearly air Of the old clerks,
both at the general office and on the
yard. have quit their jobs and the
work is falling far, behind. The rail-
way company has brought few clerks
here from Richmond TO replace some
nf the strikers, and these are helping
out some. but the fact remains that
the force now at work is not large
enough to cope with the situation.
How long this condition will con-
tinue cannot be foretold. The officials
of the company are reticent, but II is
understood That they believe they can
quickly and easily replace most Of the
strikers and have the work running
smoothly again in few days, That
the company will not accede to the
demands Of the strikers that their
union he recognized Is certain.
"Vice- President Riley said today
that not a clerk worked on the yards
last night Most of the clerks on the
piers also have quit their places and
work there Is handicapped.
While the strike here is going on,
the vote for a strike all along the sys-
tenn Is being taken and the result Will
be known at noon on Saturday.

day that he has received private ad-
vices from all along the Chesapeake

cate that the vote for a general strike
of the clerks will be almost unani-

No formal statement was given out

the fact that the road is steadfastly
refusing to treat with the union off,

officials claim that, in the event that
1900 or more Clerks vote to strike,
they will have men ready to take their
places and there will be no embarrass-
ment to the road. The organizers OF
the union declare that the vote Will
he In favor Of strike and that the
walkout will tie up the system and
practically paraiyze business.
The result will not he known until
