According to some of the statements
which have been given out from Port
land there will be no strike on the
Maine railroads but the brotherhood
men in this city do not say so and de-
clare that if the strike does come they
will be called out early next week. The
committees have been called to Port
land to be ready to handle the situa-
ton and the officials of the brother
hoods here are known to be making all
preparations for it. Freight is being
rushed over the road as rapidly as pos
sible and the road has refused to ac-
cept shipments except at the risk of
the shipper. Brotherhood men may be
seen in little groups about the station
at almost any time discussing the sit
uation and it is certain that they ex-
pect to be loafing early next week The
other industries in the city are also
doing all possible to make preparations
for the coming of trouble.
