Railroad went on strike yester-
day. They are members of the
New York Yardmen's Association
and declared there were $50 Of
them, including yardmasters.
They were striking, they said, for
labor board recognition and more
pay.
Pitt Hand, q railroad official,
asserted that not more than fifty
men were on strike.
"The men have made no de-
mand on the road" he said, "and
they have no grievance that we
can settle. They just quit, and
the number is so small that it
won't amount to much, although
the harbor, longshoremen's and
truckmen's strikes have made our
West Side lines the main avenues
for food and merchandise bound
for New York. Now here's an
