ployees was expected to Join In tb® walkout, though as their strike rote not been completely canvassed, it said their action might be delayed

n few days.

Tfce strike was s*t on tbe Jay when tbe rail workers were to undergo a cut of *134.000.000 In wages, and when the *400,000.000 freight rate reduction went Into effect. B. M. Jewell, bead of tbe shop crafts, had told the railway executives the strike would be mnctloced unless they agreed to ignore the federal labor board's wage reduction order, to restore certain working mles which the board had eliminated and '.o abolish the “farming out" system adopted by railroads. The railway managements would not yield, and tbe strike decision whs promptly sanctioned by the following tlx International union presidents. constituting tbe mechanical section of the railway employees' department: William H. Johnston. International Association of Machinists: J. W. Kline, International Brotherhood of BlackJm'tha. Drop Forgers and Helpers of America: J. A. Franklin. International Brotherhood of Boilermakers. Iron Shipbuilders and Helpers of America; J. J. Hynes. Amalgamated 8beet Metal Worterk International alliance; James P. Noonan. Interuntiooml Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, and Martin F. Ryan. Brotherhood of Railway Car Men of America. Railway managers were confident that tbe strike would not greatly handicap transportation operations, nt least for some rime. They had anticipated It by making such provisions as were possible, and beaidea. as has been noted before, tbe train service men and dispatcher* are not Involved In tbe present controversy, nnd will con-
