The striking employees met Friday
and it is said took the preliminary
steps to form a union. So far the
service between Leavenworth and
Kansas City has not been interrupted.
No new men have tried to take the
place of the strikers, and there have
been no movements to destroy prop
erty or make trouble.
Men working at Fort Leavenworth
and the factories are making use of
auto jitneys. Hundreds of them seem
to have sprung into existence in a
night
