Other Developments.
Other developments in the strike
situation were:
The Southern Pacific company,
which had four trains stalled at its
Ogden gateway by a strike of fire
men, reported that the men had
returned to work when the con-
ductors objected to the strike. The

these shipments will reach their
destinations before being halted by

carloads remain in California to
be packed and shipped east, if rail-
