Chicago, April 9.-Reports today
showed railroad centers from coast to
coast either partially or completely
tied up by the spreading strikes. Cit

estimated total of 25,437 railroad
men to be idle. To this number must
be added hundreds of thousands of
men and women forced out OF employ

out.
Factories in many cities are closing
down because of the lack of coal or
raw materials. In Chicago $4,000

OVER THE COUNTRY


Chicago, April 9.-Switchmen who
have been on strike here for nine
days began returning to work this
morning.
Brotherhood officials, who have been
fighting the "illegap walk out of their
men do not claim that the strike is
broken but were mulch encouraged by
report from several roads that the
men, in small groups, were reporting
for work.
The Chicago junction railway, the
belt line connecting the stock yard
and packing plants with the trunk
lines was one of the first to report.
Eleven engine crews were at work
this morning, the report said, as com
pared to three yesterday.
While the switching and freight
situation showed improvement, the
congestion in the yards grew so great
that seven or eight railroads enter
ing the Dearborn street station are
unable to run passenger trains down
town. They are discharging passen-
gers at suburban stations to complete
the trip on elevated or surface cars.
Only the Sante Fe was running into
the station this morning. The other
roads which normally use that depot
are the Mono, Erie, Grand Trunk,
Chicago and Eastern Illinois, Wabash,
Chesapeake and Ohio and Chicago and
.Tc@.erl Indiana.

TODAYS MYSTERY STORY
BY PHILIP FRANCIS NOwLAN

back of the truck had leaned against it
as the machine numbered by. Brady
shouted to him that it was sliding OH
and it was the fellows clumsy Efforts
to save 1t that had sent it tumbling,
to smash on the boulevard pavement and
shower many gallons of whisky in every
direction.
BY the time Brady had trotted near
enough to smell the character OF the
liquid the truck had put on speed and
was swaying wildly up the boulevard
more than block away. Brady, OF
course, gave chase. but the machine
outdistanced his mount until he lost
sight Of 1t as IL swung off on road
leading out into the country. 1t was
about fifteen minutes before Brady
found Belks, of the motorcycle squad
and the latter took up the pursuit.
Belks asserted that in his pursuit OF
the whisky truck he passed Peter
Deganey, a liquor dealer. in another
motortruck that was loaded with kegs
and headed into the city. When he
found the truck he was chasing it con-
sistant, whom he arrested, admitted
they were employees of Deganey, and
that the kegs had been transferred to
the truck in which he rode. They. also
admitted the keg they had dropped had
contained whisky, but said twas be-
ing transported under permit. The, rest
of the kegs, they stoutly maintained,
were empty, This was contradictcd by
no less than eight persons who saw the
barrels transferred from one truck to
the other. and who all agreed that they
were very heavy.
Deganey himself told exactly the same
story as his employees when he was
questioned an hour later by the United
States operative who put him under ar
rest for violation of the Nolstead act,
and attempted to substantiate his story
by showing the permit for the trans
portation of a single barrel.
