during the past three weeks.
Many of the strikers went out with

later announced that failure to receive
err announced that failure to receive
increases in wages granted to other
railroad men prompted their action.
The strikers who acted in defiance of
their railroad brotherhood chiefs, have
generally returned without any defin-
lite promise of more pay.
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
disputes between the railroads and
their men. The board is now sitting
In Washington.
In Chicago, the original strike GEN.
