STRIKE over, MEN
REUSME WORK.
RAILWAYS OF THE COUNTRY
GETTING BACK TO NORMAL
CONGESTION RELIEVED

The nationwide railroad strike ap-
parently has collapsed.
Except in a few isolated sections,
railroad officials reported Monday the
bulk of the men who followed the
leadership of John Grunau, Chicago
trainman who lost his job, had return
ed to work. Normal passenger SER
vice was virtually restored, they said,
while substantial progress had been
made in moving the vast amount OF
freight that has been accumulating
throughout the country, especially in
the East, during the past three weeks.
Many of the strikers went out with
out presenting any grievances and la
ter announced that failure to receive
increases in wages granted to other
railroad men prompted their action.
The strikers, who acted in defiance
of the railroad brotherhood chiefs,
have generally returned without any
definite promises of more pay.
Demands to be Presented
In many cases, however, they have
been assured their demands will be
presented to President Wilson's labor
board which is empowered under the
federal transportation act to settle dis
putes between the railroads and their
men.
In Chicago, the original strike CEN
ter, railroad officials reported the
strike had lost its effectiveness, while
brotherhood chiefs declared action
would be taken towards revoking the
charters of locals whose members re-
fused to return to work by midnight
Saturday. Not more than 1000 men
are reported to be out there. by rail-
road officials, although these figures
were disputed by Grunau.
Most of Strikers Return
In the New York district it was ap-
parent most of the strikers, whose
numbers were variously estimated
from 1000 to 10000, had returned.
Two thousand employees of the Hudson
Tubes, which carry thousands of COM
muters into New York daily from
northern New Jersey points, were the
only united and important holdouts.
The tubes have been closed to passen-
ger traffic since the men walked out
April 9.
Conditions Near Normal.
Virtually normal conditions were re-
ported in the Buffalo, Toledo and Phil
adelphia districts, where the majority
of the strikers had already returned
to work.
The principal effects of the strike
thus far has been the closing Of many
industries because of their inability to
obtain coal, raw materials and freight
cars to move their products. One
hundred thousand men were reported
IDLE in the Detroit district, a similar
number in the State of Ohio, and 35,-
900 in the Connellsville coke region,
with many score thousand others out
of work in other sections of the coun-
try. Nowhere has there been vital
interruption of the food supply.

ing next week
The matter of increased salaries was
not on the calendar at the meeting,
because the Board of Estimate has not
yet referred it to the Aldermen. 1t was
the subject of general discussion, how
ever. 1t is necessary for the alder
manic board to authorize issuance of
the bonds. The board also has to fix
the different grades to conform with
the salary increases. The increases
were promised the city employees by
August /, and every effort will be made
to dispose of the matter by that time
The resolution fixing the different
grades of employees will be referred
to the Committee on Salary and Grades,
of which Alderman James R. Ferguson,
of the Bronx, is chairman. If the
resolutions are introduced next week,
the reports may be ready by July 13.
If there is fight on the plan of the
distribution the report may be held up
indefinitely.

Justice Weeks remarked that the
