Chicago, Aug. 9.-While some signs
of Improvement in the strike of feder-
ated railway shopmen were indicated
by reports from the central west, 9TH
ers indicated that at some divisional
points the men were disinclined to
heed the advice of President Wilson to
return to work. The word from mid
west points said that upwards Of 2O,-
900 men had needed the request. Ad-
vices from Atlanta, Ca, were that the
men had decided not TO resume work
until wages had been adjusted. Den
Yer reported a similar decision there.
Indianapolis and Boston shopmen also
ere reported as holding back.
On the other side Of the picture, at
Kansas City 1900 men were reported
at work. while similar action was re-
ported on the part Of 1000 at Council
Bluffs, Iowa. Shopmen at Champaign
resumed work and Michigan Central
shopmen at Chicago were reported at
their places. No freight was being re
ceived by the Northwestern west Of
Clinton. On other roads some classes
of merchandise were accepted for ship
ment.
Conditions Improving.
r. H. Ashton, regional director OF
railroads for the northwest, said today
that while both freight and passenger
traffic on many roads still Is seriously
affected by the shopmen's strike, con-
ditions gradually are improving He
expects a majority Of the strikers VIII

Wilson's assertion that the demand
for increased wages would not be scon-a

strikers does not exceed 10000. They
said the men are returning in small
groups thruout the country.

Washington, Aug. 9.-Leaders of the
fifteen organizations Of railroad en-
ployes united today In a definite as
sertion that "they had no desire and

posal that the roads be nationalized

See Threat by Wilson.
While the labor leaders did not men
ton the presidents address to con-
gress yesterday, it was the general be-
lief that their statement resulted from
his warning to the labor world that
strikes would only make present con-
ditions worse, and that those who
sought to employ threats and coercion

struction."
