With the arrival of Stone, two Of the
five men, who viii actively direct the
strike, are now on the ground. The other
leaders are expected to arrive during the
day.
Other than to say that he hoped to see
labor present a solid front to the rail
roads, Mr.. Stone declined to comment
upon Chicago dispatches indicating
lack of unity between the big four and
railroad unions affiliated with the Amer
lean Federation of Labor.
W. G. Lee, president of the Brotherhood

land yesterday and was busy throughout

officers and members Of Congress con-
sidering the rail strike situation with
a view to helping stave off trouble,
were taking these steps:
Postmaster General Hays: Prepar-
ing to provide armed guards if neces-
sary to keep trains moving. Hays
conferred with Attorney General

Coal miners would be among the first
to be thrown out of work, following the
railroad strike. Coal is only mined when
It can be moved.
Grain - The railroad strike VIII
PROSTATE the grain business of the
country and tie up the export trade,
according to Joseph p. Griffin, presi
dent of the Chicago Board of Trade.
Although the crop movement of the
small grains such as wheat. oats, rye and
barley, from the farm to the elevators
has been complete, the strike will cripple
movements from the large sources OF sup
ply to the ultimate consumer.
None of the corn crop has been moved.
according to Griffin, and complete de-
lnoralization Of the marketing of this i'm
portant crop looms.
Meat-PKcldng town. the great
Chicago stockyards, will become idle
soon after the strike is called, which
means that the million dOliar-a-day
business In livestock will be at
standstill.
With even a partial tie-up, according to
officials. there can be little movement Of
live stocks to the yards and of course
little movement Of dressed meats to feed
the Nation.
Fresh meat will be the first commodity
to be missing from the family larder,
packers declared.
J. R. Howard, president Of the Ameri-
can farm bureau federation stated that
as far as the farmers are concerned a
better time could not have been picked
for a strike.
1.-The movement of practically all cattle
Is completed" he said. Not many hogs
have been moved. but with the present
low price of corn it doesn't make any
difference to the farmer whether he sells
it or feeds It to the hogs"

OPERATE ROADS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17-President

calamity Of a nationwide transportation
tie-up by appearing before Congress to
urge immediate legislation restoring the
railroads to unified Government operation
IN a letter sent to the White House by

ployes, but prosecution Of the grating

their needs than those outside of this
city
Few Indianapolis business people be-
lieve the strike will develop to actual
stoppage of transportation, but at the
same time they are lasting about for
ways and means to continue operation
should 1t come to pass.
The most severe blow would come first
to the factories which are in operation,
particularly the smaller ones, which
usually have small supplies Of coal The
utilities probably would be the second
to suffer in event of a prolonged strike
and food product concerns and business
In general would follow.
STEPS GONE OVER
BEFORE IN CITY.
The whole subject of what could be
done in case the railroads should break
down entirely has been gone over be-
fore in indianapolis when other strikes
have been threatened. Several years ago
when the country was on the verge of
railroad strike preparations were made
for the transportation of food to the city
in motor trucks. Since that time truck
transportation has been systematiSed and
organized and at the same time roads
have been greatly improved. As a result
1t appears to be the opinion of dealers
/ in food products that there can be no
actual want except for such products as
sugar and coffee, which are shipped long
distances.
Some of the wholesale grocers. with
other business men, have been buying
only small quantities at a time but they
appear to think it viii be an easy man
ner to replenish at least some OF the
stocks
William Kothe Of the Kothe, Wells &
Bauer Company. said he believed the
wholesale grocers can hold out for some
time and that If supplies run short the
motor truck easily will solve the prob
lem.
NJ Maurice O'Connor, president Of NJ.
O'Connor & Company, said motor trucks
could be used, should the strike be-
come effective, but he expressed the opin-
ion that 1t will not become effective.
UNION LEADERS
LITTLE CO&CERNED.
Railroad union leaders appear to be
concerning themselves little about the
possible strike. Almost without excep-
ton calls for them brought the response
that they had gone to work IN the usual
way. A number OF meetings were held
