REFUSE MEN HEARINGS
Railroad Labor Board Is
Standing Firm
CLAIM RETURN TO JOBS
Rail Managers Assert Service
Through West Is Fast
Improving
Associated Press Dispatch.l

Washington, April 26.-The rail-
road labor board today refused to
hear the wage demands of the Kan
sas City yardmen's association on
the ground that the application did
not conform to the provisions or the
law. Hearings on the demands of the
Chicago, St. Louis and Cleveland
yardmen's associations and the strik
es in the metropolitan district in New
York practically had been refused by
the board. Replying to kilograms
from various chambers of commerce
the board announced that it was pro-
ceeding with all diligence to make
an early adjustment.
Strike Is Breaking.
New York, April 26.-Fear OF
black list which would bar them
permanently from employment ap-
peared to be one of the driving for
ces today behind the steady break OF
the railroad workers strike reported
by railroad officials.
Although no hint of such plan has
come from the managers, possibility
of it's adoption was discussed freely
by some strikers after they learned
at a mass meeting last night that
nine locals Of the brotherhood OF
Railroad Trainmen in the New York
New Jersey districts had lost their
union charters by action Of brother
hood officials.
Officials of the lines continued to-
day their optimistic statements of
last week that traffic was fast re-
turning to normal and that the eff
fects of the strike would soon wholly
disappear.
Statements Are Issued.
Chicago, April 26.-Developments
In the strike of insurgent railroad
workers in the Chicago district to.
day were confined to- issuance OF
statements by the railroad managers
and strikers. The managers asserted
1927 men were at work yesterday
and that freight traffic was 80 per
cent of normal.
The strikers asserted the number
of men the railroads said were at
work was less than one fifth the nor
NAL number, that the industrial sit
uation rapidly was growing worse,
with a number of plants facing shut
down because of lack of coal, and
that because the railroads could not
continue using high priced men as
substitute switchmen, a compromise
would be forced sooner or later.
Elsewhere in the central and far
west a gradual return to normal
freight movement was reported.
