TRAINS RUN AS USUAL
Executives Aver Strike Will Have
Little Effect On Operation.


Chicago - With the countrywide
strike of shopmen declared by union
leaders to be practically 100 per cent
perfect, the nations great transporta-
tion machine continued its work with
out interruption.
Railway executives 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 to-
ward a settlement would have to
come from the United States Labor
Board or the employees.
B. NJ. Jewell, president of the rail-
way department OF the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, who refused to ap-
pear at a federal inquiry into the
strike call, reiterated that the only
basis for a settlement was for the
roads to agree not to put into effect
wage decreases recently ordered for
the shopmen by the labor board.
