Chicago Situation.
BIZ The Associated Press.

CHICAGO. April 12-Developments
west of Pittsburgh in the switchmen's
unauthorized strike was regarded by
railroal brotherhood officers pointing
to gradual dissolution of the insurgent
forces, but in the east where the
walkout was joined by trainmen the
situation assumed more serious as
pect.
Railroad officials were presented
terms of the strike which included
recognition of the new union formed
by deserters from the brotherhood
of railroad trainmen and the switch
mems union of North America. In
the offer preferred by John B. Cru
neaS, president of the Chicago Yard
mems Association, who called the
strike at least one radical concession
was made-abrogatiOn of claims for
back pay demanded by the older or
ganizatoin in their contracts with the
government. That possibly will mean
saving of hundreds of thousands of
dollars to the railroads.
