was issued Copies of the order is
sued by f. C. Gassman, general chair
man of the union for the Missouri
Pacific system, reached Governor AL
len today. The instructions were
mailed from Middle Brook, Mo. Each
worker was asked to quit work indi-
viduany in order to evade the law.
The strike was to have been effec-
tive today, but was called off by ma
tional heads of the maintenance OF
way union. Kansas state officials had
prepared to meet the situation and
wholesale arrests would have been
made had the strike order been en-
forced in this state. 1t was the pur-
pose of union heads to safeguard
against prosecutions by directing the
men to quit work individually. In view
of evidence in the hands Of the state.

started as soon as the men laid down
their tools.
