ern Pacific system by party of IN
known men and an attack by strikers
upon an employee of the Pacific fruit
express.
The Baltimore and Ohio at Youngs-
town, Ohio, and East st. Louis and
Flora, Ill, and the Missouri Pacific
and Frisco at Kansas City were among
the roads to which federal injunctions
were granted.
Two hundred maintenance Of way
employees on the Central Railroad of
New Jersey, at Wilkesbarre, Pa,
joined the walkout and one hundred
section men at Dennison, Ohio, went
out on strike.
The Baltimore and Ohio and Erie
sent some of their rolling stock to out
side shops for repairs. Fifty-four
trains were annulled by the Wabash.
Governor Russell, of Mississippi, re-
ceived an appeal for troops to protect
Mississippi Central shops and the
Frisco renewed its appeal to Governor
Taylor of Tennessee to send national
guardsmen to the shops at Memphis.
A similar appeal was made to Cover
nor Neff of Texas by the Texas and
Pacific lines
Investigation of the strike situation
was made by Governor Kilby of Ala
bama and Governor Morrow of Ken
lucky.
Adopt Resolutions
Striking shopmen at Topeka, Kas..
adopted resolutions that they would
not return to the Santa Fe shops IN
til all employees who remained at their
posts during the strike were removed
-
| joined the walkout.
Notices to Kansas mayors notifying
them that their cities are liable for
damages under the state mob" law
were forwarded by Attorney General
Hopkins.
A crowd of men, women and chill
dren stoned the home of Samuel
Thompson, a Santa Fe employee, in
Chicago. Thompson was working at
Corwitch, Ill. and his wife was home
alone when the attack was made. Po-
lice dispersed the mob.
Mr.. Jewell, commenting on Presi-
dent Harding's proclamation said the
way to end the strike was to call a
I conference of railroad executives and
shop crafts leaders.
Neither Mr. Jewell nor Chairman
Hooper of the labor board indicated a
tendency to yield much from the posi-
| tons they took at the outset of the
| strike. Chairman Hooper made 1t
+; plain that striking shopmen would
! come before the labor board only in
! accordance with the transportation
Act and that they must go back to
| their jobs before they could expect
! consideration by the board.
| Tentative proposals considered in
| the peace conference included the fol-
| lowing: THAT the railroads abolish
| the contract system of farming out
work to contractors.
THAT certain working rules govern
| ing overtime may be modified. That
| the shopmen be given another hearing
on the wage issue.
That the railroads agree to estab-
fish boards of adjournment to hear
all disputes except those involving
wages"
