Fifteen Million Dollars Are

Relief FOR THE STRIKING
Instructions Given Heads oil
Divisions; How Plans Will
Be Carried Out
CARL D. GROAT.

Washington, August 30.-Fifteen
million dollars bulge in the war chest
of the railway brotherhoods.
This amount about equally divided
among the four unions, is, ready to-
day for distribution among the men
should they need strike relief. 1t
is to be doled out in portions of $40
month among the 100000 men who
would be involved in national rail-
way tie up. How long it would last
is problematical, for relief might
start with the opening, Of the strike
or might be delayed until later.
AS the brotherhood men view it,
their mighty war chest would prob
ably not be touched in the, forth
coming strike, for they believe it will
be so brief that the men will not feel
the pinch of unemployment.
The great war fund has been gath
cred through weekly contributions,
covering long space of time. The
assessment varied according to the
members earnings, but the total sum
per year is written in fixed thou
sands.
How Strike Will Be Carried Out.
One little code written from Wash
ington to every railway center in
the country is sufficient to precipi-
tate the threatened strike. The
more then 600 brotherhood delegates
who left for their posts yesterday
cctried with them instructions for
running a strike. Trains on the lines
will be run to the nearest junction,
fires will be banked and engines oil
ed. The engines and the cars will be
delivered to the companies in per-
feet condition and every union man
will then quit the property with or
ders to avoid violence or trespassing.
Only twenty-four of the biggest
brotherhood men remain here today.
According to their version they must
stand pat on the eight hour day.
with ten hours pay.
The feeling in the mems quarters
is that the strike is only a few days
