Any attempt to take the matter out
of the hands of the conflicting parties
and placing it under the jurisdiction of
the labor court will be bitterly opposed
by the switchmen. and unless some new
element enters into the controversy
strike may be called today.
The letter sent out by the managers
caused stormy session of employees.
Several of the committee suggested
that negotiations be closed and a strike
called without delay.
After long discussion it was decid-

morning. and if the time and one-half
