THE RAILROAD STRIKE
Little Change in the Situation. Vio-
lence Reported in Several
Places.

Chicago, July e5.-Western rail-
roads, it was expected today, will fol-
low the example OF eastern lines and
begin the organizatio OF company
unions TO replace the organization
of shopmen who are on strike. The
movement for formation of company
unions is believed to indicate that
the roads are preparing for pro-
! longed fight and have no intention OF
yielding to the demands of the strik-
| crS.
The doorway to the formation OF
! company organizations was held
open, it was pointed out today, by
| the recent resolution OF the United
States railway labor board outlaw
ing the striking shopmen. The
| board has announced it will recog-
nze employees OF any road if the or
ganization represents a majority OF
the shopmen working on that road.
b. NJ. Jewell, leader OF the strikers,
was scornful OF the success OF the
movement to form new unions of
shopmen now at work. Just ask
Sam Gompers how long it will be be-
fore the American Federation of
Labor will issue charters to these
unions they are talking about
Jewell said
Although no one in authority
would comment on that phase of the
question, il was reported today that
the resolution of the labor board
"outlawing" the striking shopmen
had arisen as one OF the chief OBJ
stacIes ut settlement OF the strike.
