SHOPMENS STRIKE
 COVERS WIDE AREA
Regardless of Illegal Declaration Many Continue to Refuse to Work - Pine Bluff Awaits Orders.

OhiCoSO, huSs os-r uItAcE SpIcdu of the strike of railway shopmen, es- pecially in the middle west, where about 15,000 workers went out today, according to union reports, and a strike of 10000 men on the Norfolk and Western lines is set for tomor- row, marked the fifth day of the walkout. The strike has been declared illegal by. railroad executives who have made that charge to the local bureau of the department of justice. The barrier was let down today for boilermakers to join the other strik- CTS, according to l.. M. Hawver, presi- dent of the Chicago district council of the Federated Railway Shopmen's union, which called the strike last Fri day. He announced telegram from E. c. Chase, the boilermakers' repre- sentative on the national agreement of 78 now negotiating with the rail- road administration in Washington, that conditions "do not warrant hold ing men any longer" Chase, accord ing to Hawyer, had opposed the strike until referendum of workers had been taken.
 While railroad yards in the Chicago district have become congested with 1ro1~o,, Joxryv, oorc oc n ,.ocY,1{ rf tbo strike, the union officials declare all railroad service will be more serious ly affected in few days. They admit the strike was called in defiance of the national officers of the unions in- colved, but that it was in compliance with the wishes of the rank and file of the Federation. They also refuse to take strike vote August 24, as ordered by the national officers, and assert that the railroad administra- tion must treat with them and grant their demands for 85 cents an hour for mechanics and sixty cents an hour for helpers.
 R. H. Aishton, regional director of the northwest, asserted today that the strike was illegal, since the natinoal officers had opposed it and ordered the men to return to work. He said it was to be hoped that those conduct ing the strike "in disobedience of their own highest authority" would "come to their senses soon before disaster overtakes the whole country"

Jewell, acting president of the railway division of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor.
