war talk. however, as President Gra-
ble's statement that any railroad that
refused to meet with committees of
maintenance of way men to adjust
wage differences would face a strike of
these workers.
A new note in the demand of the
strikers was made evident by the state
ment Of Samuel Gompers, president Of
the American Federation of Labor, in
viting the government to urge striking
coal miners and shopmen and their re-
spective employers to begin direct ne
gotiations, coupled with the action Of
representatives of the big Four" rail
road brotherhoods in urging Congress
to facilitate a return to the direct par
lev system of settling disputes.
Meanwhile eight railroads issued can

swelling the number of annulments to
we'll over 800.
State troopers continued on guard in

corted back into town eleven non-union
employees Of the Chicago and North
