the trial OF Sid Hatfield and his asso-
ciates for the Staying of Albert Felts

LEADERS GIVE HINT
OF BIG RAIL STRIKE
Abrogation of Agreements by
U. s. Board Means Trouble,
They Declare.

Special Despatch 10 THE NEW YORK HERALD.
CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-Labor leaders here
predict that a general railroad strike
will result should the United states Rail-
way Labor Board sustain the request OF
the railroads executives for abrogation
Of the national working agreements now
in force.
A decision by the board is expected
soon after labor's side of the contro-
versy is presented on Monday. Ihis
hearing was postponed from Thursday
at the request of the labor leaders.
B. M. Jewell. representing the rail-
road employees Of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor. WHO will present re-
buttal arguments, has called Labor iead-
ers into secret conference with him 10
help prehare his reply.
The charge taat the railroads have
pooled IN the raising OF $40. 100000 fund
with which TO combat the labor organ
izations Of rail employees Is expected
to be made when the labor representa-
tives make their answer next week TO
Gen. W. W. Atterbury's plea fer ahro-
cation Of national agreements.
Another charge with which II IS hoped
to dynamite" the executives case be-
fore the board. is that millions OF dol
lars worth OF property was obtained
by various railroads while under Gov
ernment control and buried IN long
bitches. which had been dug along the
right of way. According TO II. T. Cradle.
grand president OF the United Brother
hood of Maintenance OF. Way Employees
and Railroad Shipnnen, the members are
considering a plan to go treasure hunt
ing" in the still, watches of the night
to prove the location OF the material
ut will not exceed our expectations II
that stuff is found" declared Mr.. Cradle
to-day. THE railroad executives talk
about failure to make operating eX-
penses is all bunk. 1t is simply following
out their policy Of getting all they can
from the Government while the gettins
Is good. RI we get affidavits showing
that they buried materials we may see
some restitution made TO the Govern
ment.
1T have heard 1t said that they have
81 fund OF $4,000 900 with which to
break Iabor's back In my belief 1t is
true. II is all part OF "A great game be-
ing played between capital and labor.
lust like a chess game. Gen. Atterbury' S
statement before the board last Monday
was one of the moves. The executives
meet every week In New York. deciding
what move shall be made next. Stimuli
taneous with the open shop movement
In this country and the movement OF
the executives to abrogate the national
agreements, which will be followed by
wage cuts. is a movement in England
along the same lines.
II regard tho railroad problem and
particularly the issue now being fought
out, as one Of the greatest problems of
this period, because so much is at stake.
II the labor board grants the executives
demands fully expect the men to leave
their work and go in search of other
Jobs"

Few Trains and Slow.
When l first went into Vienna in
the early spring of 1919 rode in on
a freight train from Trieste. The
train was carrying food and was
guarded by American sailors. 1t was
the only kind of train running from
that direction. The only other train
from any direction was military
train from Paris through Vienna to
Warsaw three times week, which
was inaccessible to any but officials
and persons willing to pay eXorbtant
bribeS. Trains in every direction We're

passenger platforms and untenauted
waiting rooms seemed like remnants
Of a civilization which had passed.

transit was indefinite The train
