want to work, either in Silyis or
any other shop. Mr.. Mullinix still
seems to feel kindly toward the
strikers, declaring he wished they
would come back to work. At the
same time he said they have lost
the strike.

Mr.. Mullinix also declared that
he believes one or two of the men
now in the shops are union men
who have been working in other
railroad shops. He said he believes
a few Of the Silvis strikers have
sought work in other railroad
shops. The strikers deny both
these statements. They declare
their own ranks Are unbroken and
they say no real union man will
go to work for the railroad at the
present time. What the men will
do II the Rock Island railroad
brings from 500 to 1000 strangers
to the Silvis shops is a question.
The majority probably will do
nothing. A few are restless and
will not dodge trouble if, as they
claim, that trouble is forced on
them by deputy marshals, special
guards or strikebreakers.
Mr.. Mullpix himself professed to
have no definite knowledge about
further arrival of workers to take
the places of the strikers. That he
said. Is matter over which he has
no control.
