Trying to Hold
Their SUPREMACY

CHICAGO, April Faced by rap
idly spreading "illgal" strikes in the
Chicago switching district, two of the
four great railroad brotherhoods, to-
day are battling to retain their SUI
premacy over the outlaw organiza-
tons which are leading the strikers
in demands for more pay and changed
working conditions.
Grand lodge officers of the broth
erhood OF railway trainmen and the
brotherhood Of firemen and engine
men told their divisional chairmen on
the 90 roads affected by the strike 10
plan the campaign. More than 1000
union switchmen summoned here by
the railway trainmen are at work to-
day as strike breakers. Vice Presi-
dent Whitney announced this, and
similar action is exepcted to be taken
by the firemen and enginemen.
