Newspaper reports indicate that
the Switchmen's strike has collapsed
though John Grunau, the leader
saya II is still in effect. Railroad
men say business has been resumed
and most ofthe strikers have return
cd to their Jobs. Tho strike was a
secession from the American FEEDER
alton. and labor unions have con-
demned It as illegal and many unon
men have served as strike breakers,
while union officials have been try
ing to argue some reason into the
heads OF the Grunau party. The
switchmen tried to appeal to Pres
ident Wilson and the Labor Board
but the government declined to hold
with an Illegal concern.
II seems the Switchmen acted with
cut authority and, falling to get
union or national recognition, they
were doomed 10 failure.
