PHILADELPHIA, June ,22- Little
change was noted in the railroad yard
mems strike here today. Both sides
continued to make contradictory
claims as to the number Of men out
and the effect the strike has had on
the movement of freight.
Strike leaders declared nearly
1000 men on the three railroads,
the Pennsylvania, Reading, and Balti-
more & Ohio. are idle and that freight
traffic, especially In the Pennsylvania
and Reading yards, virtually is at a
standstill. Embargoes on all except
perishable freight and coal for public
utilities are in effect on all three roads
and the Reading admits that its freight
service in and around Philadelphia has
been seriously affected. The Penn
sylvania and Baltimore and Ohio how
ever, declare all their yards are oper-
ating nearly 100 per cent normal.
In a statement last night the Penn
sylvania said 1161 of its yard employees
were out. but that there was no freight
congestion in it's yards, due to the bet
ter organization Of volunteer crews.
Officials of the Reading claimed only
four hundred men had quit work on
its lines, while the Baltimore and
Ohio reported "a negligible number"
out.
WASHINGTON, June 22.-Strikes
of railroad employees which began sew
eral days ago in Philadelphia and Bal

step to combat the spreading epidemic
of walkouts had been decided on by

orally relying on the recognized union
