The demand that the "rebel" or
ganization be made the governing body
for switchmen would take approx
mately $4,000 members Of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen and about
$4,000 from the Switchmen's Union of
North America, including the entire
membership of the latter organization,
union leaders say.
New Demands Widen Split
Addition of the two demands to
the previous list apparently has wild
ened the split between the roads and
brotherhoods on the one hand and
the strikers on the other.
The general managers and the
brotherhood here have given the
strikers until midnight tonight to re-
turn to work, under penalty of losing
their seniority. Similar action has
been taken elsewhere.

Observation-Disclosures
Appeal to Strikers
Shea and Gri6ng, Of
Engi1,enlen and Fire
men, Urge Men Return

Timothy Shea, president of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen, and L. G. Griffing. as
sistant grand chief of the Brotherhood
Of Locomotive Engineers, who have
been laboring in the New York district
to get the "outlaw" rail strikers back
to work, called upon the locals of these
organizations last night to hold meet
ings at once "for the protection of their
interests"
Shea and Griffing issued their appeal
soon after the striking firemen and
enginemen had voted at meeting in
Hoboken to stay out. The two brother
hood officers felt that a majority of tho
men are loyal to the brotherhoods and
want to return to work, but that they
were carried off their feet by ire
sponsible agitators who harangued
them at general meetings. If given a
chance to decide the issues at meet
ings Of their own locals, the two off
Gals were sure there would be no doubt
of the result.
The appeal says:
This morning we met with the ex-
ecutive committee of the strikers to
discuss ways and means by which men
now out on strike could return to
work. In this discussion the question
arose as to their status with the rail-
roads if they should return to their
former positions. l suggested that the
committee request the grand officers
present, including Messrs. Shea, Crit
fing, Dodge and Cowcn, to confer with
the General Managers Association, and
procure from them an agreement to
provide that all men who left the serv.
ices of the railroads be returned to
their former rights and standing with
out prejudice.
"The chief officers of the brother
hoods conferred with the managers and
secured that promise, that they would
be returned as asked, providing they
were back before or by noon, Sunday,
April IS. At a.meeting of the body this
was explained to the men, who were
urged to accept and return to duty, as
there was nothing to be gained by
holding out, because. the Labor Board

The movement to provide volunteers
to keep open the lines of communica-

railroad strike. In three days the regi-
ment of workers has swelled to the pro-
portions of brigade, and the task of
registering the offers OF assistance re-

The executive committee of the COM

Englewood, N. j., met last night to dis
cuss plans to make the organization
permanent, ready to step into the
breach whenever strikes or other
emergencies rendered it necessary.
1t was decided to hold mass meet
ing this week to lay plans before the

Andrew Hillhouse, former Brown foot

Rev. G. M. Laid, pastor of the Grace
M. E. Church at Rutherford, doing
the firing. Mayor Fred w. Scheff of
Rutherford was the conductor.

Twenty-Five Trains on the

In the drab half-light of early dawn
lengthy string of red box cars and
dingy white refrigeration coaches clat-
tered and bumped its tortuous way over
the switches Of the Erie yards in Jer-
sey City this morning. The first trans
continental train to be manned by a
professional" crew was on it's
way to the Golden Gate.
In the "dog hoase," triAe nervous,
but with an unquenchable light of
adventure in their eyes, were Ralph
Wood and Johnny Wich. Wood is nine
teen and WITCH is eighteen. Three days
ago they were engaged in the common
place grind of an engineering course at
Stevens Institute, Hoboken. This morn
ing they were genuine "shacks," "brak-
les" or, politely speaking, brakemen.
To prove it, they wore khaki shirts and
the blue overalls which are becoming
so popular on Broadway. There was a
bulge in the left cheek of each smooth
face, but that may have been merely
chewing gum.
The students have been part of the
yard force of the Erie road for three
days past and have shunted and
coupled and signalled themselves into
an appetite for the railroad game.
Yesterday they learned of the Erie's
intention to move lorg delayed train
of thirty two cars loaded with mscel-
laneous freight routed from New York
to San Francisco. Their applications
for leave from Stevens Institute were
granted and this morning at daybreak
they pulled out over the long route.
Communication Service Improved
While the two Stevens Institute boys
were planning their assault upon estab-
lished railroad precedent the rest of the
Erie service yesterday was running
closer to normal than at any time since
