Chicago, July 5 (By the Associated
Press) The railroad shopmen who
walked off their jobs last Saturday
played a lone hand in the rail strike
today. The fears that other unions
would join the striking shopmen were
today virtually dispelled.
The first wide rift in the strike
clouds showed yesterday when the
maintenance of way employees defin-
itely abandoned the idea Of walk
out at this time. They will stay on
the Job under protest against a sixty
million dollar cut in their wages pend
ing negotiations for readjustment Of
the wage scale upon the appeal by the
employers. In many rail centers 1t Is
thought the shopmen we're notified that
they would forfeit all rights and con-
siderations for future employment II
they failed to return Immediately.
Many roads were accepting new men
for work in the shops.
The officials of shop craftsmen said
that their strike was a hundred per
cent effective and encouraging from
their viewpoint.
