TRAINMEN ARE DESERT
 ED BY OTHER UNIONS
Organization Including 1,000,00O Mem bers Refuse to Strike-Clerks
 Likely to Stick.

Chicago, Oct. 22.-Ot1c1als o1 unions with more than half of the rail employees of the nation in ''eir membership, tonight announced that their men will not be authorized to join the Big Five" organizations m the strike called for October 30.
 Announcements that they would not join in the walkout came from eight of the Il standard rail unions which for a week have been with holding their final strike decisions. al- though in most cases the members had voted overwhelmingly to quit work rather than accept the recent 12 1-a per cent wage reduction au- thorized by the United States Rail- road Labor Board. Only one of these il groups now is determined to stand by the Big Five" it was announced, hut two others have not yet taken final action.
 Shopmen Take Lead.
 Following announcement by heads of the six shop crafts organizations controlling 6o0,OOO men, that they would not sanction walkout, the leaders of the 375,OOO maintenance of way employees and of the 25,OOO sta tionary firemen at an executive meet ing voted to withdraw their authorlza- tion of walkout, leaving only the 75.0OO railroad telegraphers positively with the Big Five"
 Chieftains of the 350,0OO clerks will make their decision tomorrow, and the signalmen, 35,ooo strong, also are yet to act,
 Clerks Likely to Stick.
 Officials of the clerks said tonight that they probably will not authorize a strike at their meeting tomorrow, thus indicating, union leaders said, that the strike, if it materializes, will affect less than one-fourth of the country's railroad employees, being confined to the switchmen, the fire fmen, the engineers, the trainmen and (which decided not to join an immedi- the telegraphers The organizations ate walkout. Will take new strike votes after an expected Labor Board decision in regard. to rules and work ing conditions, it was said.
 A. F. L. Support Lost.
 Today's decision dealt the most serious blow yet recorded against the big four brotherhoods and the switch mems union. The shop crafts, known as the Railway Employees Depart ment, American Federation of Labor, are said to control more railroad workers than any individual union. Their action also is declared to bind the American Federation of Labor against any active support of a rail- road walkout.,, The shop crafts were first of all the unions to vote on a strike, 435,000 votes being cast for a walkout, with 10000 opposed to a strike.

MONEY BILLS
HAVE RIGHT OF
WAY ThIS WEEK
Strenuous Wind-Up in
Prospect for Pres
ent Congress
Big Scrap Indicated Over Army
Bill -. Doubt Over Decision
on Naval Budget - Free
Seeds and Farmer Aid Hold
ing Up Agricultural Bill

washington, FeD. zf.--CongresS EN-
ters tomorrow on the home stretch
drive toward adjournment Friday,
with whip and spur on Appropriation
bills and a scramble for the tape on
the part of scores Of other measures.
Night sessions are in order with an
all-night finale, as usual. preceding
Inauguration day.
All of the appropriation bills except
the naval budget are expected to go
through, although only seven of the
IA regular money bills have been COM
pleted and just two have been signed
so far by President Wilson. The
chief executive plans to be at the cap
itol the forenoon of March 4 for ac-
tion on eleventh hour measures.
Five of the appropriation measures,
the army, agriculture, sundry civil.
Legislative and Notifications, are in
conference but agreements are expect
ed. A big fight is expected over the
army bill due to the Senate's increase
of the regular army to 1885, 900 men in
stead of the $50, 900 fixed by the House.
The question of free seeds and Of q
S5,000,000 loan to farmers in drouth-
stricken regions of the west, are ty-
ing up the agricultural bill. The SEN
ate and House are deadlocked on the
sundry civil measure over the ST., 000,-
900 Muscle Shoals power amendment
of the Senate and over the $1S,600, OeO
appropriation for soldier hospitals.
The House probably will vote tomor-
row in an attempt to clear this dead
lock. The controversy as to the legis-
fatfve biii now revolves largely about
the provision for purchase by the
treasury of $500, 100000 of farm loan
bonds proposed by the Senate The
House will vote Tuesday on the pro-
Wis ions.
Little legislation except the appro-
priation bills is expected to get
through the final jam. The Fordney
emergency tariff bill comes up tomor-
row in the Senate for final action with
transmission to President Wilson in
prospect. 1t is one measure in a four
cornered fight for precedence in the
Senate. The other three bills behind
which pressure is planned are the war.
time Lays repeal res solution, the sol.
diers' bonus measure and the navy
appropriation budget. The last is ex-
pected to bring a renewal of disarm-
ament rebate which promises to thwart
passage of the measure.
Other important bills which seem
threatened with failure include the
packers control bills, the maternity
and infant aid measure, the budget bill
the congress sional reapportionment
measure, the Calder coal regulation
plan and the 100000 600 good roads
appropriation. Predictions were gen
eral tonight that the soldiers bonus
also would be added to the list of fail
ures.
Bills to regulate cold storagec to re-
organize the patent office and to au-
thorize cooperative marketing by farm
ers are also in conference with the
,outcome dubious. Other unfinished
business includes proposals for i'm
parchment for Federal Judge Lands
and for the investigation of the Berg
doll case, both of which seemingly are
headed for the casualty list

is that in the subways this attention
