SAN FRANCISCO, April 11.-Strik-
ing switchmen Of the Southern Pacific
here last night voted to ignore the
demand of the railroad that they re-
turn to work this evening under PEN
atty of having their jobs declared va
cant.
Reports from~Los Angeles stated
400 switchmen Of the Southern Pa
cific, Salt Lake and Santa Fe rail-
roads also defied the demand OF the
roads and automatically were dis
charged.
The strike situation on the coast was
unchanged today except for the re-
turn in various sections of California

GENERAL STRIKE
UP TO CONVENTION
Danger Of Authorized Railway
WaIkout Seen Here-Meeting
Monday in Kansas City.

Confidential Information received
here today indicates danger OF an
authorized general strike extending
to every railroad trade and craft. ana
completely tying up all railroad sys-
TENS, Notwithstanding efforts OF the
union chiefs to prevent it.
Everything depends on the action
taken by the convention OF the Rail-
way Employees Department OF the
American Federation of Labor, which
opens in Kansas City tomorrow
1t is made UP OF delegates from the
Switchmen's Union of North America,
the Brotherhood of Railroad Clerks,
and the six shopcraft unions.
The convention will make either a
declaration against the present strike
and take disciplinary measures
against the members who are parti-
cipating or else approve IL.
The eight unions which Will take
part in the Kansas City convention
have strike votes really to put into
effect. If they decide to strike, they
need only one other organization TO
join them to force a general strike.
The radicals, 1t was learned today,
are counting on either the United
Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way
employees and railroad shop laborers
or the Order of Railroad Signalmen to
join the eight in strike action.
The leaders will try to impress
upon the convention the futility of a
general strike without sufficient
funds to carry it on. The railroad
union alliance is trying to raise an
immense defense fund, and the pro-
gram to be submitted to the conven-
ton will suggest an assessment of
81 per month per member.
The leaders have estimated that
1t would cost at least 100000 a day
to carry on nationwide railroad
strike effectively. BY assessing each
OF the 1000, 600 organized workers. 81
a month, a sufficient fund could be
raised, they point out, to enforce de-
mands should the Labor Board refuse
wage increases or the railroad COM
panies attempt after September l to
abrogate agreements growing out OF
working conditions.
Labor leaders declare that four
weeks ago Information came to the
unions that an expelled officer OF
the Brotherhood of Railway Train
90 '''os agitat'ng strike among the
switchmen. The union officials
warned the railroad companies as
well as the workers. After the first
Salkout they advised the railroad Of
ficials to reinstate members of their
organizations willing to go back to
work and leave disciplinary measures
to them, giving warning that one un-
wise step at this time might cause
nation wide strike. Instead, the rail-
road officials discharged the men.

PALMER WOULD CRUSH
@OUTLAW" R. R. STRIKES

CHICAGO. April 11.--United States
District Attorney Charles F. Clyne
was expected today to start ma
chinery to crush the "outlaw" strike
of railroad switchmen, which is
threatening to paralyze the country.
With announcement by Attorney
General Palmer that United States
District Attorneys have been instruct
ed to investigate the causes behind
the strike, and otake action II II
was found that "unlawful" means had
been used by the strikers. Clyps to-
day was expected to confer with rail-
road managers and union leaders and
quiz them regarding information said
ITO be In their possession alleging a
conspiracy by the I. w. w. to tie up
the countrys railroad system.
Federal agents here have been cir
lculating for several days among the
strikers, and evidence gathered by
them will be turned over to Clyne.
With the Federal grand jury in ses-
sion here, belief was expressed by
Federal officials that 1t might call

Joint action in the walkouts through
out the country. The systematic
movement of the strikes has aroused
the suspicion of officials.
Brotherhood leaders charge the
strikes were all a part of one great
Psmovemenet originating in and direct
ed from Chicago. 1t is because of the
fact that the strike started here that
yespecial significance attaches to
