could be held back. Mr.. Jewell said
he would prefer to have his men
strike on the rules and working con-
ditions question, together with the
wage matter, but refused to say def
nitely that he would try to hold back
his men.
The differences over the advisable .
ity of strike have arisen primarily
through failure of the brotherhoods
and the other eleven unions to reach
a satisfactory agreement on the dura
ton of the strike, labor leaders said.
One union president said that while
he was certain the brotherhoods
would have the support of the others
in the actual walkout, the heads of
the eleven organizations were not
pledged to stay out after their differ
ences were settled and might return
to work whenever they saw fit.
Another official said that it was fear
ed the brotherhoods might return to
work and leave the unskilled workers
holding the bag"
The brotherhoods are not members
of the American Federation of Labor
while the shopcrafts organizations
are and it is because of this fact that
they have not always worked in COM
plete harmony, although not actually
opposing each other. according to
union men.
While these differences of opinion
are being discussed informally among
the union heads preliminary to the
formal meeting this week, prepare
lions for a walkout are going ahead
among all of the organizations.
From the meeting in Cleveland to-
morrow the organizations meeting
here later expect to have word as to
just how far the brotherhoods would
go in standing by them through a

walkout and on this decision will rest
the attitude of shop crafts and sim

Chicago, Oct 17.-While heads Of
the Big Four Brotherhoods and of the
Switchmen's Union planned to meet
in Cleveland tomorrow to complete
plans for the rail strike, which they
have called for October 80, union
chiefs today said that leaders of some
of the eleven other railroad organiza-
tons still were opposing a walkout
and would attempt to keep the men
from joining the five organizations
which have definitely committed
themselves to strike The big five
membership numbers only 100000 of
the 100000 railroad employees.
Whether the opposition OF these
leaders will result in break between
the two groups will not be fully set
tied until the meeting of the general
chairmen of the eleven unions here
sometime this week when issuance of
a formal strike call will be voted on
formally Several railroad labor
chieftains today said, however, that
they believed the majority would rule
and that it would be a case of ma
jority strike, all strike" They pro-
fessed to see little chance of a
change.
The leaders of these organizations
last week pledged themselves to. SUP
port the brotherhoods in strike and
since then have been going ahead
with their plans for walkout, al
though deferring issuance of the &C
tual strike call.
Heads of several of the organiza-
tons have announced that they will
order the walkout, while others were
more conservative in their statements

of Railway Photographers, in st. Louis

The coal situation, he said, was
somewhat less favorable, owing to the
fact that coal companies have scant
storage space in which to build up a

bins at once so that the dealers may
