That Situation 10 Very Serious
All Over The Country.

Representatives of fourteen differ

a communication to Director General
Hines asking immediate increases in
wages. So far as known this is the
first instance on record in which all
the railroad unions, representing 2,
900 900 employees. have acted as a unit
Mr.. Hines said today he had not

ton of wage demands already made
public.
With reports still coming in that
striking shopmen refused to return to
work and that the strike was spread
ing despite the efforts Of officers OF
the union to hold the men ct work
until an authorized strike vote is
taken late this month, the railroad
strike situation and its related sub.
ject, the high cost OF living, continued
today to take precedence in import.
ance over all matters in congressional
and administration circles.
Already more than 100000 cars are
reported to be out Of commission, and
soon railroad rolling stock, mines,
factories and food producing plants
will be threatened with closing.
L. M. Hawver. president Of the Chi.
cago Council of the Federated Rail
way Shopmen's Union. declared that
more than 275. 900 members of his or
~ganization have obeyed the strike
order and that the number of idle men
is growing hourly.
He said every railroad in the Middle
West and South has been seriously
crippled. He predicted that freight
service and a large part of passenger
service will be tied within a week
in nearly every section of the country.
The local situation so far has not
affected traffic, neither has the action
taken by the men on this division OF
the Chicago & Northwestern Railway
interfered with service to and from
~Brookings. Two men at the local
roundhouse are out and the carmen
failed to report this morning. but it is
reported that they have since received
orders to go back to work. The help
ers at the roundhouse are working and
no trains from here have failed to 90
out on time. Shipments OF some kinds
of merchandise have been called off,
but a return to normal conditions is
looked for by local officials.
