Expected Strike in February.

Mr.. Wilburt testified last night that
the company expected a strike on its
lines and was preparing to meet it as
early as the middle of February He
said the company was "breaking in new
men" and that they were being brought
to Washington from other cities in
groups. He said that number of
these men were quartered at local
hotel.
These men, said the witness, "were
first placed on cars to get the Law of
the land. and later. in groups of two
or three. were put on the cars with
the motorman or the conductor as the
case might be, to be broken in. This
action on the part of the company
aroused suspicion and upon investiga-
ton it was discovered that nearly forty
men had been brought here and were
then in the employ of the railway.
Il had hoped until the last minute
that strike would not be called" said
Mr. Wilburt. I'VE had all been on good
terms and at previous times, had set
tied our differences. During the
months previous to the strike I had
talked to the men several times and
told them to abide by the rules, and
IL they had ever railroaded, that they
must do it now, and that the company
should show its appreciation by max
ing a new agreement"
