The Long Island Railroad main
tanned its passenger service without
suspensions, but with some delay. AL
though Long Island officials claim that
their freight handlers have remained
loyal to the company to the extent o,
80 per cent of the personnel, there is
little freight being moved on Long
Island because of the impossibility of
making connections with other lines.
yards of the Long Island road, and the
change from steam to electric locomo-
tivcs is now being made at Jamaica in
stead Of Long Island City because of
this.
The freight tie-up is complete In
the Long Island towns served by the
Long Island Railway there is already
a serious coal shortage, which may
affect the electric services in the
course Of the next day or two. The
railroad itself is short of coal, and
yesterday collecting an emergency
supply by means of their touring cars.
The Harlem River, Oak Point, Mott
Haven and all the Bronx yards were
choked with freight cars. which stood
on every available inch of track. The
tie-up in the New Haven yards also
affects the New York, Westchester e.
Boston lines, which use New Haven
tracks.
Mails Not Delayed
SO far the strike has not affected the
handling Of tirst-class mails, although
the American Express Company has
announced an embargo. The chief re-
suit so far as the mails are concerned
IS the flooding of the parcel post with
small shipments usually sent by ex-

lar forces have been compelled to work
long hours Of overtime to meet the
emergency. Some sccondclass mail
has been delayed, but none is being re-
fused.
II. J. Zimmerman, general chairman
OF the Brotherhooc of Railway Con
ductors, joined forces with the New
York roads yesterday in an effort to
combat the strike, which now threatens
to upset the brothe rhood organizations
and to usurp their authority. He said
that other officers would come later
from Cleveland, and that every effort
would be put forward to assist the
roads out of their difficulties.
Pennsylvania and Erie Railroad po-
lice joined the strike last night and it
was also reported that Lackawanna
iiremen were threatening to strike.
George F. Lamb, divisional supern-
tendent of the Department of Justice,
said yesterday that his department has
taken no steps to apprehend any one
in the railroad strike, as had been
rumored. He said there was nothing
IN it as yet that came under his juris-
diction.
At meeting last night in Elizabeth,
N. j., of Central Union 372. of the
brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen,
United States Commissioner John A..
Mathews, of Newark, counsel for the
brotherh God, and another official of the
brotherhood, who advised against the
strike. were hooted down and not per-
mitted to speak.
The striking .,trainmen appointed u
committee, which was instructed to en-
deavor to call out union men still at
work on the New Jersey branches of
the Central Railroad of New Jersey.
These include the central division, the
Long Branch division and the Newark
and Elizabeth division. The committee
will try to tie up the Jersey Central at
6 o'clock this evening.

Labor Board Hone
OF Men, Says Lee
Head OF Brotherhood Of
Troinn,en asserts L0tU
CiUes Hid TO Workers

CLEVELAND, April 1O.--W. G. Lee,
president of the Brotherhood Of Rail
road Trainmen, to-day issued the fol-
lowing statement regarding, the nation
wide strike OF railroad yardmen and
swtchmen
The situation at Chicago is con-
stantly improving, and those in charge
of the five transportation brotherhoods
there report daily gains, and hope that
more of the thinking members of the
organizations viii return to their for
mer positions very soon.
1T IS believed the members will rec
ognze that the only hope of securing
additional increase in pay, to which
they are entitled and which we are
confident will be granted by the labor
board recently created by Federal law,
just as soon as that board is appointed
by President Wilson, is for them to
return TO work mediately The
fifteen railroad labor organizations
have entered into and signed an agree
ment to present their wage demands to
such board according to law, and it is
unreasonable to expect that any IN
crease will be granted except by the
boa:d and in accordance with the Fed
eral law. 1t is equally certain that
Whatever benefits are secured will come
through the authorized committees Of
the established labor organizations.
Need of Increase Recognized
THE claim of transportation en-
ployees for an increase in paw to fur
Their Offset the high cost of living must
be recognized by all thinking persons
familiar with the situation.
Transportation employees have only
received approximately 80 per cent in
crease since 1914, while increased cost
of living, as shown by government re-
ports, Is approximately 100 per cent.
surely the pubic does not expect
transportation employees to be com
PEELED to work for SO much less a per
centage OF increase than granted en-
ployecs in other walks Of life. Rail
road employees know, by constant as
sociation with workers in outside in
dustries, that increases have been
granted far larger than their own

There s q Strike

PHILADELPHIA, April TO-
"There is no strike of railroad
men," asserted Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Fed
GRAFTON Of Labor, here to-day to
reporters while he was waiting
for a delayed train for New
York. He was compelled to go
to West Philadelphia and catch a
through train from Washington.
AS he swung aboard he said:
Remember, there is no strike.
Congress has prohibited strikes
on the railroads, but, of course,
there is no law to prevent indi-
viduals from quitting their jobs,
if they choose to do So"
Mr.. Gompers would not reveal
the nature of his mission to Phil
adelphia.

In Detroit the walk-out, which began

volved more than 5000 men in Michi-
gan.
In the Detroit area the threatened
curtailment of industrial operations be-
came Il reality when the Detroit Edison
Company issued an order restricting
power consumption by all consumers not
engaged in the production or distribu-
ton of foodstutfs. The order is effective
at p. nj. Monday, and in addition to re-
strlcting current for power, requests
discontinuance Of display lighting and
the use of minimum amount in pri-
vate homes.
To what extent the order will affect
the larger factories was uncertain.
Some of them will be able to operate
under their own power for the present,
but fuel stocks, it was said, would not
last more than week. The livelihood
Of thousands Of workers. it was said,
may be involved.
1t was said in Detroit that, even
should basis of settlement be reached,
an imm ediate return to work could NOT
be expected, as the strikers had organ
lied a local chapter of the Chicago
Yardmen's Association and could take
cago headquarters
In Indianapolis, according to leaders
of the Indianapolis Yardmen's Associa~
ton. d branch Of the "outlaw" organl-
zation, approximately 1000 men
have quit their work. Railroad Of
icials and officials of the Brotherhood
OF Railroad Trainmen, however, estl-
mated the number at about TOO. The
strikers insisted their action was not
in connection with the strikes in other
cities, but resulted from Il local demand
for an increase in pay.
Memphis Employees Delay Decision

ployees in the Memphis terminals will
join in the railroad strike will be held
