UNIONS PROGRESS MARKED
 BY "HUNDREDs OF STRIKES

Detroit, Mich, July The progress of the United Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees and Railroad Shop Laborers has been marked by hundreds of strikes" according to general officers at the headquarters of the organization here, but only twice in it's history has strike vote of all the members been taken.
 The first time was in the summer of 1919. and after postponements from va rious causes, the strike was called off just as it was about to 20 in effect. The sec ond strike call was authorized May 30 last when the, United States railroad la bor board ordered a general wage cut for the maintenance men approximating 13 per cent.
 With few exceptions. According to'union officials, the strikes have been of minor importance. with comparatively few men affected. and the duration generally has been brief
 In nearly all instances. it was ex- plained wage disagreements. and the fight they claim was instituted by raii- roads to keep the men from organizing, were responsible for walkouts.
 The brotherhood. as now constituted was formed in the eacly 'e0s and was the outgrowth of virtually four organizations which sDrang up in the Uaited States and the province of Ontario in 1887. These organizations were in two groups. one each in his country and Canada Each of these groups contained two branches one for foremen and certain mechanics

a strike of approximately 5000 or s.eee men. The wslkout lasted only a monlh. however. In both instances satisfactory settlements were effected. according to records here.
 The first concerted action by the unlor came in the summer of 1919, when tho railroads of the country were under hs railroad administration. and the msirite. nance men voted to strike for 70 per cent wage increase. In September of thai year. however. at the convention of the order it was decided to hold on to give President Wilson an opportunity to take measures for reducing the cost of living.
 When the delay failed to produce szfis- factory results, general chairrnen of the organization met here in February. 1890. and ordered the strike into effect Feb IT. On the eve of the strike brotherhood of- icials conferred with President Wilson In Washington and 1t was agreed not 10 strike, the men being given to understand, 1t was said that matters would be sd- justed to. their satisfaction. Following the creation Of the United States railroad labor board that year. the union, with others. particiDaed in a general wage advance.
 The union Is at present on strike on two roads-the Missouri and North Ar kansas. and the Atlanta Birmingham and Alabama-in both instances the menber- ship having joined in a general <WaIkouf of all crafts.

and one for iaborers. With the final amalgamation these lines of difference were swept away.
 The first big strike, according to union records, and the one that is considered by officials as the most important in which the organization participated. was in 1901 on the Canadian Pacific and the. Grand Trunk systems. Employees on the two lines were out at about the same time, in the spring of the year. and were out for four months. following disagreement on wages and working conditions The trouble with the Canadian Pacific was compromised, 1t was said. while the Grand Trunk strike according 10 union officials, resulted in a virtual victory for the strikers.
 Sporadic strikes continued to take place !; in the membership. according to officers, when the union was attempting to organ ize. in many instances men being dis charged for belonging to the order. it was claimed, and others striking in protest. It was not until 1907 that any com paratiyely large body of men was affect ed At that time 900 went out on the Illinois Central. for brief period, but an amicable adjustment of the differences prompting the walkout was effected. the officials say.
 In 1914 the union struck. on the north
 ern section of the Missouri Pacific. 2,5oo

 in 1917 the whole system was affected by

 Monday the men all arose feeling bet ter and started the regular routine work. They found that the water was not pleasant to taste having sulphur in it, but now no one minds It. The health Of the men is very good. thera arc only one or two men in the hospital and those are for minor ailments and will be out in a day or two. The camp is very well equipped and clean. The reg ment is quartered in concrete barracks which are very comfortable and plenty of room.
 The instruction consists of practical training on guns. instruments, telephones, radio. small arm~ ~-actice, big gun practice, convoy work.
 There is a theatre, where moving pic lures are held. a hostess house, pest exchange. camp library.
 Officers and enlisted men from the 51st and 52nd Artillery Regiment are detailed with every battery and detail as instructors, and have been found very capable and willing Instructors. There are many trucks and machines of differ. ent kinds which have been put at the dis posal of the regiment.
