Los Angeles, Aug. 30-Conditions near

railroad transportation was concerned,
greeted southern California residents to-
day, With the engineers, conductors, fire.
men and majority of the yardmen and
brakemen pledged to return to work
after their strike in sympathy with
striking employees of the Pacific electric
lines, railroad officials arranged to move
trains on virtually normal schedules.
The men agreed to return at meetings
held last night, the engineers, conductors,
and tiremen agreeing first to follow any
action taken by the Brotherhood of Rail
way Trainmen, which included the yard
men and brakemen and the latter group
in a stormy session later voted to re-
sumo work this morning.
A portion of those attending the meet
ing voted not to return to work and held
a further meeting. A. f. Whitney, inter
national president Of the Brotherhood Of
Railway Trainmen, who addressed the
meeting, declared, however, the proper
ton of union men failing to return would
be negligible.

Striking railroad employees at Fresno
and San Francisco returned to work yes

Barstow was serious, men there at last
reports having refused to obey the or
ders of the international officers to work.
However, the railroad administration
officials counted on moving trains
through that point Trains delayed as
far east as Albuquerque, n NJ, were
moving westward this morning and the
general feeling of railroad men here
was that any men who remained out
would be too few in number to affect
conditions materially.
