CHICAGO. Oct. 16-FinaI arrange ments for a general railroad strike intended to tie up the nations trans portation system through a walkout of the 2,000,000 employees rapidly were nearing completion tonight with the days developments bringing two im- portant changes in original plans Foremost was decision not to include the Pennsylvania lines and the Erie railroad in the carriers on which Sne first walkout is scheduled to being at a. m, October 90.
 The San Diego and Arizona rail- road was added to the first of the four groups into which the unions have divided roads for strike purposes and it was decided to order the three succeeding groups out at 4S hour intervals instead of 24. Under this plan, with the men on the roads in group number l walking out October 30. the strike would be in full effect November ,.
 The Louisville and Nashville rail- road also was dropped from the first l group. according to the list given out | by union leaders
 These changes were said by union ! leaders to complete assignment of roads to the first group on which walkouts would take place and the l lOliONlnB was DldQe hnONil aS Nilt bA- ! ficial list of carri IFS in that group; Kansas City Southern.

 While no official information was forthcoming a to what group the Pennsylvania lines would be assigned, it was understood that they would be placed in group three~on which the walkouts are to start November 9
 All walkouts are to begin at a. m, Standard Time.
 Transfer Penn Lines
 Transfer of the Pennsylvania from group one was unexplained by union l leaders, but caused considerable sur

 was believed that the first strike would be ordered on it.
 By midnight tonight Chicago had been deserted by virtually all leaders of the big four brotherhoods and tho Sitchme ems Union of North America the organizations in which an off, cial strike call actually Las been is-
 sued and the hub of the situation was being transferred to Cleveland where presidents of these five unions will meet Tuesday to complete group ing of the railroads and settle the final details of the proposed walk out.
 The union forces gained strength today when T. NJ Pierson. vice -presi- dent of the Order of Railroad Tele- grapherS, announced that the S1,00t
 members of his organization were
 pledged to strike and that they would
