stand behind the railroad brother

Labor has pledged to the brother
hoods nationally.

of Impotence over delay than there
was last summer.

Here is how Chicago is braced to

night. These figures are given after
interviews with food hogs, transpor-
tatiOn men and city officials:

eTs are dependent on suburban train
service. The Aurora, Elgin & Chi
cago and the Chicago & North Shore

great deal of this number. Auto

the various highways to the more
pOpulOus suburbs.

to be planning making people come
across if they want fuel. Other deal
ers say there are 100000 tons in

sumes 100000 tons daily. Half this
amount supplies factories. Many of
these expected to close during strike.

100000 lbs. Of pork, S27, 900 lbs. of
lamb and 100000 lbs. Of veal in
