Walkout May Spread to

Chicago, July 3.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press:)-Railway strike in

week end on the shopmen's waikout
Saturday, teday turned to develop
ments dependent on the canvas at
Detroit of the strike vote of 400,-
900 maintenance of way employees
and action by their union officials.
A potential railroad crisis far
more acute than any forseen threat
to traffic by strike Of shop crafts
alone, hinged on the course taken
by the maintenance of way men.
A strike, of maintenance of way
employees would double the number
Of railway strikers and more than
double the effectiveness Of the sus-
pension.
Should the clerks. freight han
dlers and signalmen join the walk
out, the total number Of railway
employees called of their jobs would
aggregate approximately 100000.
CRADLE Holds Key.
Edward F. Cradle, president OF
the maintenance of way employees,
who returned to Detroit after con-
ferences with officials of other
unions, kept his promise to the
railroad labor board to hold strike
orders in abeyance until today at
least, although the vote of his union
was reported to be overwhelming
ly In favor Of strike.
The key to the strike situation
WAS apparently held by President
CRADLE, on whom hopes were large.
ly banked for averting further
walkouts.

that the walkout was virtually 10t

executives, on the other hand, ten

Officials Are Optimistic.
In some rail centers plans were

ers with workers under open shop
