WITHOUT INTERRUPTION.

ClicagO.-With the countrywide
strike of shopmen declared by union
leaders to he practically 100 per cent
perfect, the nations greatest transpOr-
tatlon machine continued It's work
without interruption. Railway execu-
tIves were unanimous In expressing
their belief that the strike would have
little effect on the operation of their
roads, and at the same time asserted
that any move toward a settlement
would have to come from the United
States Labor Board or the employees.
Il. N. Jewell. president of the rail-
way department Of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor, refused to appear at
federal inquiry into the strike Gull.
Mr.. Jewell explained his ignoring Of
the labor board was due to the future
OF the board to exclude from wage re-
ductlon hearings almost eighty roads
that had In part or wholly violated rul-
Ings of the government tribunal,
which, he said, has caused railroad EN-
ployes to regard the board with no
slight misgivings.
Among the presidents of railways
entering Chicago the determination
was expressed to have no dealings with
the representatives of the striking
unions. They were unanimous In de-
claring that the issue was not between
the unions and the railways, but be-
tween tlfe unions and the United
States Labor Board.
Ben W. Hooper. Chairman Of the
Labor Bonrd, declared in n formal
statement that the power of the gov
eminent. coupled with public senti'
ment. Will give every protection tn
every railway employee who remains on
the job and to all new men who take
the places OF the strikers in the present
walkOut.
Mr.. Hooper asserted TINT the strike
was called against the decisions of n
federal tribunal over rulings laid down
after careful consideration of the evil
dence on both sides. The men who
take the places Of the striking shop

In Chicago, the hub Of the wnlkout,
where 1t Is estimated 100000 men are

claimed that both passengers and
freights were being handled without
