TRAINMEN NOT TO STRIKE
WITHOUT FURTHER FARLEY

chicago, Oct. 2S.-Ohicials OF some
of the fourteen lodges of the Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen that voted
at a secret meeting Sunday to strike
October 30 unless their wage demands
presented to the railroad administra-
tons board of wages and working
conditions were granted in full, to-
day denied that the strike would go
into effect without negotiations. 9th
er officials were absent from the city
and the opposing expressions left the
strike situation obscure.
Some local officials of the brother
hood lodges said no strike would be
entered into hastily and that the out
come of conferences Mr.. Lee was to
have tomorrow with Director General
Hines of the railroad administration
and other administrations officials
would be united.
Other brotherhood officials could
not be found tonight and the exact
status of the strike call seemed uncer-
tain, Notwithstanding the announce
ment in reports yesterday that the
strike would go into effect Thursday
unless the demands, including a mini
mum wage of $3.50 month were
granted sin full"
In view of President Lees statement
in Washington that such a strike
would be unauthorized, one local rail-
road official predicted tonight that in
the event of a strike, trains would be
operated in some manner. That off,
cial took the attitude that such an un,
authorized strike would make II in,
cumbent upon the grand lodge officers
Of the trainmen's brotherhood to fill
the places Of strikers.
