Los Angeles, Calf, Aug 20.
By a slight majority, 1000
switchmen and yardmen who
have been on strike here voted
to return to work tomorrow
morning at 7 o'clock.
The members of the four
railway brotherhoods had been
on strike here for more than
a week, following a walk-out
of yardmen in sympathy with
a strike of trainmen of the
Pacific Electric interurban
railway system.
The action of the men will
bring to an end a railroad tie
up without precedent in the
history of the west. 1t caused
cancellation of trans-continen-
tai trains, left many points in
California without mails for
days and threatened a water
famine at desert points de-
pendent on railroad tank cars
for their supplies of that fluid.
While yard employees here,
who were the first of the rail-
road crafts to 60 cut, were liot
included in the announcement,
according to first reports, it
was anticipated they would
follow the lead of the "Big
Four" members. The same an
ticipation applied to train
men at Barstow, who also
were on strike.
The vote, was taken at mass meet
ing tonight. which was addressed by
A. f. Whitney, international vice
president of the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Trainmen.
Following the vote. those who bal
lotted not to return to work declared
that, despite the result they would, not
return to work. A meeting of those
opposed to returning was called
The action was predicated directly
on the order of the International Of
ficers of the railway brotherhoods to
the union members to return to work,
and followed a warning by Director
General Hines of the railroad admin
istration that unless the men were
at work by o'clock tomorrow morn
ing the government would operate
the trains
International brotherhood heads
had announced that men who failed to
heed the order to return to work
would forfeit their union membership.
The government through the United
States marshal here, shortly before the
mems action was announced, had ar
ranged to have a large force of fed
eral officers protect trains and rail
road property and prevent interfar-
ence with their operation.
