Chicago, July 10-(By A. P)-
The nationwide strike of railroad
shopmen entered its 10th day on
Monday, with those in close touch
regarding the struggle as entering
upon it's crucial stage.
Ultmatums sent by a majority of
the roads to their striking employees,
declaring that all seniority and pen
sions rights would be forfeited by
strikers who did not return to work
today. expired at noon.
Both the roads and the shopmen
stood firn in their posi-
lions. A deadlock in the dispute con-
.inued. No machinery for re-estab-
fishing peace was in motion.
The railroads generally were pre-
pared to open their shops with what
ever labor was available, accepting
strikers where their serv-
ces were offered and endeavoring to
Ill vacancies with imported workers.
