 The strike of section men on the Central Vermont railway continues unabated. It was Wednesday morn- ing of last week that the strike de- veloped. The section men all along the line from Palmer to New London entrained for Lebanon, this state, on that morning. A job, demanding much labor, was to be finished there. But on leaving the train some of the men evinced an unmistakable dislike to the tasks assigned them. They were told to get to work. They re- fused. The section men got together and decided that they would not work unless their pay WAS boosted from $I.75 to g. co for nine hours work. Their demands have not been met yet. An extra gang, working in union, is doing the work on the different divisions. There are 20 in the gang, which has been working here the past few days. Section bosses are not on strike. Some strike breakers are at work.
