AWAIT ORDERS
FROM LEADERS
BEFORE STRIKING
1000 Car Shop Workers on
n. I'll. Road in Boston
Join Big Strike

The strike Of car shop employees
which is spreading to all parts of
the country has not affected the
Lyndonville car shops of the Boston
& Maine railroad as yet. The men
today are considering joining the
strike but today they were at work
as usual.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Boston says that four thousand shop
men employed by the New York, New
Haven & Hartford railroad walked
out today. The workmen at the All
ston yards of the Boston & Albany
railroad also went on strike.
There are $50 men employed at
the Lyndonville shops. OF these 212
are mechanics and 1873 are carmen
and painters.
The mechanics now get from 6S to
73 cents an hour. They have asked
for IS cents an hour. The mechanists
helpeprs get As cents an hour and
have asked for 60 cents. Tho black
smiths in the shop demand the same
pay as the mechanics.
The carmen and painters are earn
ing SO, 68 and 73 cents an hour. They
also want a substantial raise. The
helpers get As cents an hour and the
,laborers in the plant 37la cents. 1t
was stated today among the union
workers that it was the understand
ing that if the mechanics entered the
strike all departments of the shop
would join.
Assistant Superintendent Ahearn Of
the Lyndonville plant said this after
noon that the men had demanded 85
cents an hour but that he understood
they would not go out until word
came from Washington. SO far as a.s-
ported today none of the Boston &
Maine shopmen have yet been called
out.

The charge was made by Glenn A.
Plumb of Chicago, originator of the
so-called "Plumb" plan for reorgan-
izing the railroads. He charged that
the plot to wreck the roads "came
from Wall Street and from banking
houses controlled directly by the Nor
gan and Rockefeller groups" The
information he said was in the posses
sion of the Railroad Brotherhoods.
He said it tended to show that
"the wrecking and looting" Of the
New Haven railroad, the Chicago and
Alton, the Rock Island and Frisco
lines, were mot sporadic examples of
highway robbery to which the Ameri-
can nation had been subjected as to
its public transportation highways"
With the utmost frankness men,
bers of the House Interstate Com
merce Committee indicated during
the examination of Warren S. Stone,
grand chief of the Brotherhood Of
Railway Locomotive Engineers, and
VI biiS
American Federation of Labor, that
the bill, embodying what has come
to be known as the "Plumb Plan,
was too radical and failed to strike
at the high-price evil against which
people throughout the country are
clamoring.
For more than a month the House
Committee has been considering all
plans for solution of the problems
confronting the roads with their re-
turn to private management, and the
Plumb proposal was offered with the
assurance of labor leaders that it
would cut down prices of commodit-
les because the reduction in rates
which would follow the elimination of
private capital from the railroad COM
panies.
