clared that the Maintenance of Way
union's action was nof n surprise
and added that ~ they can find way
out Of their difficulties they are to be
congratulated
The decision OF the track laborers
does not weaken the position Of the
shop strikers in the least. Mr.. Jewell
said. Each organization Cf the Ameri-
can Federation OF Iabors railway de-
partment was an autonomous body.
and we don't want 20 drag anybody
into a fght unless he wants 10 go"
The program outlined under the de
layed strike action contains nothing
that the Shopmen have non previously
considered and rejected Mr.. Jewell
said.
This whole situation. he continued.
lis the result OF attempts by the f.
nancial interests TO crush the union. "
The farming out of shop work. he
said. has not ceased, despite the state
ment of dozen railroad officials be-
fore the labor board last week that
they would cancel all contracts.
Reports from various local unions
received at union headquarters today
ar1rmed the leaders, statement that
the walkout was practically 100 per
cent"
From Roanoke, Va, came the re
port that foremen Of maintenance OF
way labor and clerks were quitting
their jobs in sympathy with the shop
men. Traffic was reported suspend
! ed north on the Norfolk and Western

all shopmen out OF the union Pacific
lines. Union Pacific officials said they
were hiring new men rapidly.
More detailed reports are expected
by Mr.. Jewell within the next day o.
two.
Uni:n officials predicted that othe
classes Of railway labor would beCom
inoculated by the shopmen's strike
and that the effect of the walkou
would begin TO show on transportation
soon.
Railway clerks and station employees
some Of whom polled a strike vote re
Gently. have In many instances mad
separate agreements with their roads
and any strikes by these classes woul
II is believed. be called only on In
dividual roads.
The railroads also waited today 10
