RaIIroad Managers Not HopefuI.


Railway managers are pessimistic.
One prominent official said: We have
no reason to change our attitude. The
men have refused to do anything. We
are ready for a strike but no two rail-
road managers agree what course to
pursue. Some favor putting white
lead on the engines and storing them
away. 1t is a question whether we
are sufficiently ready to prevent bus
iness paralysis. The men are talking
strike pretty strongly today"
He said the managers are willing to
submit to outside adjudication. They
are not hopeful that the president
will succeed in settling the strike.
Wilson received the trainmen in
the green room. Barretson talked half
an hour stating the employees case.
Strike Won't Reach WalkOut
Rock Island offices announced that
the road had not planned any at
tempt to operate trains unless the
government promised protection.
Chicago railroaders claiming to
have inside information asserted that
the strike would not reach walkout
stage. They predicted the brother
hoods would finally agree to let the in
terstate commerce commission settle
the argument, They declared the gov
ernment might interfere 10 prevent a
tieup of the Rock Island and other
lines under receivership. The Bur-
llngton road is planning to ask its for
mer engineers. now higher company
officials to resume their old work in
the event of a strike.
NJ. e. Bierd. president of the Chi
cago & Alton, said that Chicago was
not prepared to face a strike. walk.

freight cars stalled in the yards. The
result would be great confusion af-
fecting the entire nation. Bierd be-
lieves Wilson can settle the strike.
