While the railroad strike has not

local industries, express companies
refusing to accept shipments of any

the port to European countries, but
local merchants have none, and say
they can secure none.
One dealer declared today that
the domestic coal situation is far

Kansas City. Mo-. April 12.-Rail-

stand pat on wage demands now
under consideration and not seek
to "sandbag" the railroads into

OUTLAW strike. leaders meeting
here today stated.
The best indication, said Inter
national President Wharton, of the
eleven railway unions represented,
that the OUTLAW" strike will not
spread to membership of the Rail-
way Shopmen's Union is shown in
the fact that not one of its 100000
members is involved.
Today's meeting opened the bi-
ennial convention of the railway
department of the A. F. of L. More
than 1,000,000 workers were repre-
sented.
"The attitude of the railway de-
partment OF the A. +. of L." Whar-
ton said. 'is that its members are
Iaw-abiding citizens. and as such

dicted that the outlaws" would get

intimated he may decide upon his
policy today.

say that the law is sufficient to pro-

this department will take, IL any.
The government must act. IL il
does, without taking 9ides either
for the strikers or for the railroads.
Under the Lever act, any concerto ed
action by two or more persons in
tended to interfere with the dis
tribution of food Is a violation of
law"
Palmer was asked II, in view OF
this, the daily meetings of the
strikers in various cities are not
law violations. to which he replied:
