RAIL STRIKE UP !
 TO GOVERNMENT
Attorney General Prepares to Take Hand-Senate Inquiry Began Mon- day-State Troops May Put
 Down Outlaw" Organizations.

Washington, April l2.--Orders have gone out to United States district at torneys to investigate the "unauhori- zed" railroad strikes in their districts, to determine whether there has been any joint action designed to inter- fere with the distribution Of neeessi- ties of life or whether such interfer- ence was contemplated
 Attorney General Palmer. who is at Savannah, Ga. in making this an- nouncement said that such joint ac- tion" would be unlawful. He added that the federal government would take no steps until a careful inquiry had been made to ascertain the exact facts. Mir. Palmer will be in the South for several days and has instructed Assistant Attorney General Ames to act on his own judgment should the situation be found to warrant it.
 While Mir. Ames refused to discuss the situation other officials of the de- partment pointed out that two courses of procedure were open if the govern ment decided to take a hand in set ting the strike. The government, they said, could seek criminal indictments under the Lever act because of inter- ference with interstate food shipments or 1t could employ methods similar to the injunction proceedings of the bit- luminous coal strike.
 Altho there has been no stoppage of United States mails, according to the reports to the department, it is known that officials are watching strike developments from that angle also. All plans will be held in abey- ance, however, until the inquiry can be carried out.
 Senate Inquiry Tomorrow
 The senate interstate commerce committee completed plans for it's investigation of the strike. Hearings vii begin Tuesday with John Grunau, president of the Chicago Yardmens Association, and leader of the striking forces in Chicago. as one of the first witnesses. Others to be heard will in- clude A. Whitney, vice-president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and officials of the Chicago, Milwau- kee & St. Paul Railroad.
 May Call Out Illinois Troops.
 Chicago, April 1c.-Federal inter- yention in the railroad strike with the possible utilization of the Illinois na- tional guard to protect property was forecast today by the action of District Attorney Charles F. Clyne, who. after an all night conferece with his staff and members of the department of justice, summoned John Grunau, lead CT of the strikers.
 MT. Clyne would not discuss possi- ble government action. T will say. however" he stated, that the United States is not entirely powerless in a situation that affects the food and fuel supply of the country and that drastic action will be inevitable unless condi- tions are altered materially within the next forty-eight hours"
 The general managers association, representing the railroads. today an- nounced that it would refuse to treat with representatives of the strikers
