RAILWAY STRIKE
NEXT MONDAY
Unless Something Unforeseen
Occurs, Enginemen and Fire
men Will Quit Work Labor
Day-Embargo on Cattle.

Unless the unforeseen happens, the
railroad employees will walk out next
Monday and the greatest srtike in the
history of railroads will be innugu-
rated. All the railroads have given
notice to agents not to receive freight
for shipment after tomorrow except
dead freight, and only this subject to
delay. Live stock and perishable
freight will not be received. The
Norfolk & Western has notified their
agents to receive no freight billed for
destinations beyond its terminals.
Railroad managers are making ev-
cry effort to render the tic-up as little
destructive as possible, and to keep
trains moving. 1t is reported that
not over 60 per cent of the N. 4 w.
trainmen will walk out on Monday.
There are thousands such on all the
roads, and these, with new men
being brought in, and thousands of
"strike-breakers" in all the large con-
ters, will enable the roads to avert Il
complete tic-up.
Congress Hard at Work OH the Mat
ter.
Congress is hard at work on Pres
ident Wilson's recommendations that
II law be passed at once to meet the
case and avert the strike, or at least
postpone it until thorough investi-
gation. However, both sides seem to
be stubborn and unwilling to concede
anything, and while there is hope
that the strike will be avcrtcd, Mt this
writing the hope is faint one, ac-
cording to dispatches from Wash
ington.
