More Layoffs Likely
In Railroad Strike;
Talks Gel Nowhere
By the Assoeicted Press

CHICAGO. June 29.-Efects of
an AFL switchmen's walkout be-
came more widespread as the
strike against five big railroads
entered its fifth day. There was
no hint of a settlement from Gov
ernment mediators.
At least 47,100 men are idle,
with more to be taken of pay
rolls today, and additional thou
sands tomorrow If the strike con-
tinues.
Some 1000 members of the
Switchmen's Union of North
America left their posts Sunday
morning on the Chicago, Rock
Island g. Pacific, the Great North
ern. the Chicago Great Western,
the Denver g. Rio Grande West
ern and the Western Pacific Rail
roads.
They struck in protest to a
presidential fact-flnding boards
recommendations. The board
turned down demands by 10000
yard workers for a 40-hour week
at 48 hours pay. The fact-f1nders
recommended instead a 40-hour
week with an 18-cent-an hour pay
hike.
New Strike Threatened.
Three other rail unions have
threatened a Nationwide strike
after July IS in protest against
the same board finding.
Four of the roads shut down
when the switchmen struck. The
Great Northern has been carrying
on. but at reduced schedules.
The Great Northern said that it
was withdrawing the Oriental
Limited, it's No. 2 train on the
Chicago to Seattle run. today.
That will leave only their No. l
the Empire Builder-over that
stretch.
F. J. Gavin, president of the
road, said last night he expects
that foursffths of the roads 28,-
900 employees over the 8,000-mile
system will be cut off the payroll
if the strike continues through to-
morrow. Already $500 seasonal
track workers have been laid off.
More Lines Suspended.
Leverett Edwards, a member of
the National RailWay) Mediation
Board, sitting in on the union
company parleys, gave no hint of
an early settlement yesterday
when he commented: Were still
passing the ball around the in
field"
Mr.. Gavin announced that the
Great Northern was suspending
as of last night, IL more branch
lines in Minnesota, Montana and
North Dakota.
That brings the total branch
line suspensions on the road to "a,
with 81 pairs of daily trains af-
fected.
Freight service, Mr.. Gavin said,
is at a virtual standstill."
The walkout of switchmen has
idled 5000 Utah coal miners AMI
1000 Utah Smelter workers.
The Rock Island has laid off
$1,000; the D. & r. G. w., $500;
the Western Pacific, $500. and the,
Chicago Great Western, $500.

Harrison (Fish Hook Mullins
lives across the river from the
highway. Bushes and saplings
grow thick on both sides and OBJ
scure the view so that he cannot
see those who pass up and down
the road, thus proving a petty
annoyance, since he likes to sit on
his porch and mediate and have
an unobstructed view of travel
ers on the highway. Or that stu
alton did exist, but does not now,
since Harrison ''flew in" this
week and remedied the situation
by cutting away all the bushes
on both sides of the river. Quite
a task, but well worth the price
to Harrison.

Hons OF tourists aICer the Qu1ntS
arrival.
AS I stood in the chill morning,
my nose pressed against the high
wire fence where a big sign pro-
claimed mo Admittance" my
heart sank. The townspeople had
told me two big dogs also were on
guard. Across the street in the
quints' humble frame birthplace,
another big forbidding sign was
plastered. Here one of the quints'
married sisters now makes her
home.
Up the road on the right were
the big rest rooms. which DIVA
Dionne later told me scornfully
are his pet peeve." They were
built for the tourist trade by the
government. What money did
the government use to erect them?
why. the quints' money, OF
course" Mr.. Dionne said.
Breaks Down Resentment.
Across the street from the rest
rooms is an ugly yellow building
owned by the midwife who de-
livered three of the quints on that
memorable May %, 1884, where
souvenirs are now sold.
The first hour at the Dionne
home was one of breaking down
the resentment of years of a man
who desires above all to have his
family let alone to live as 1t
pleases.
How'd you like to have your
children put up for show like on
a stage all the time?" he asked
me.
A little later he pointed to the
yard of the former nursery.
There's where they let them
ride around on exhibition like
monkeys" he said bitterly.
There's where thousands of peo-
pie peeked in to watch them.
-Four times a day they'd wake
them up and bring them out to
that porch to display them to the
public. But when mama and I
wanted to wake them and play
with them, they wouldn't let us.
Money has been the root of
all the troubles" added the
father. Money alone has talked.
Why, the government got over IS
million on gasoline taxes alone
when those crowds were coming

UP here. Sure, they'd like to have
that revenue continue"
He went to the door and sum-
moned two of the quints.- Three
of them had accompanied Mama
Dionne to another town that day
to visit Therese, a sister. who is
"a teacher.
Annette and cecile, identical in
looks and size, two strapping
young adolescents weighing about
130 pounds apiece. were presently
standing in the doorway.
1t was hard to believe they were
1870 simple and shy were the
dark-eyed little girls. They stood
there lined up at attention, their
arms held stiffly at their sides
their eyes watching every move
of their father for appreciation.

demurely lowered their eyes.
They are only interested in
their studies now" papa said.
They are good students and they
want to go on to higher educa-
ton"
AS the quints took me on a tour
around the grounds and to their
convent school, I learned much
more about life of these sisters.
For three years. now. they have
had II young girls of their own
ages living right there on the
grounds with them and attending
the convent school.
The girls are picked from ex-
cellent families from all parts Of
Canada and pay tuition just as
at a regular school.
The idea was to give the quints
a more normal life and it's ap-
parently working out beautifully.

But he is slowly and surely win

the right to a normal girlhood.
I found this out on a day-lone

1t was a visit that almost didn't

of any kind.

But with all this afhuence, Papa
Dionne lacks one great blessing
peace of mind. He has found
that being the father of the five
most famous girls in the world
brings no contentment.
Papa Dionne, I found, holds a

have tried to cruelty" him and his
