END FOURTH WEEK
LIN Spite of ShOpmen's Strike
Train Service Is Normal.
Rail Officials Say 1t VIII Wear
Itself Out in Short Time.

The strike of railroad shopmen will
finish its fourth week tonight. The
freely expressed opinion of those who
hold official and other jobs with the
railroads is that the strike is lettering
to fall. while the opinion OF those
who are out. expressed with equal
freedom, is that 1t is going to be a
marked success.
In Topeka when the strike is men
toned the Santa Fe comes to mind
principally, because it's interests here
and elsewhere in Kansas are more ex-
tensive than that of any other carrier.
Asked about the effect of the strike,
officers of the Santa Fee simply point
to the company's service, Locally the
situation with other roads is declared
to be highly satisfactory.
Normal Train Service
The steady operation Of trains is
said to have created much concern
with the strikers who had hoped that
transportation would fail. At the
Santa Fe station normal conditions
prevail. Trains, loaded with passen-
gers, arrive and depart about as they
did before the strike. The usual ION
time" records are reported by the
railroads and the public is experience
ing little if any inconvenience. Trav-
-eIers going away for a day or longer
are compelled to make their sleeping
car reservations a considerable time in
advance, passenger officials say, and
even then 1t is often necessary for
them to be content with uppers.
At the Santa Fe freight house the
force is a little larger than it was be-
fore the strike on account of increased
business. Freight trains are making
schedule time, and shippers are get
ting their stuff in and out the same as
if nothing had happened. Switching
crews are working in full force. The
Santa Fe reports fewer engine failures
this month than usual. altho officials
say that such incidents are common
at all times. Technically an engine
failure is any kind of engine trouble
terminal as much as five minutes
late.

amount to much; and that is our
situation in a nutshell" said a Santa
Fe official who was asked how the
company had been coming along since
the walkout.
Santa Builds New Force.
I'VE are on top of the strike" Vice
ago, and ever since then Santa Fe
officers have gone on the theory that
all they have to do is to reorganize
their old shop forces and build up the
new, and this now has been done to
the extent of about so per cent of the
pre-strike forces, they say.

sition that the announcement left
nothing to be added to the staten emit
that the railroads business is heavier

= The attitude of the railroads all
along has been that if the regularly
constituted peace authorities could
preserve order, the strike would wear

clare the end is in sight.
A large number of commercial or
CARNATIONS have adopted resolutions
endorsing President Harding's stand
for protection for workers The
United States Chamber of Commerce
brought the subject to the attention
of the Topeka Chamber. but no action
yet has been taken. This was before
the strikers sought an expression from
the Topeka business interests.
On several of the railroads the shop
employees have begun the work OF
forming associations for handling their
problems with the company officers,
and with the United States labor
board, as provided by the 1920 trans
porta&ion act. These associations,
railroad officials say, will take the
place of the unions which pulled the
strike. The Missouri Pacific workers
have perfected their organization, and

new organization on the Santa Fe has
been laid.
