Scores of Railroad Men Leave Jobs in Chicago (Continued from page one) nient settlement of tho strike of last October. 2. —The granting of concessions by tho meeting of tho Association of Railroad executives hero at 2 o'clock this afternoon. 3. A complete backdown by union leaders. , Reported Internal friction in the labor hoard was believed to have eliminated Hooper’s intervention as a possibility. Union leaders had gone too far witli their plans to back down now, according to both employers and employes. Thq last chance, therefore, seemed to lie with tlie railroad executives. Announcement by the railroads that they would abandon such contracting for labor might cause a postponement of the strike pending arbitration of the other two differences, wages and working rules, it was believed. Action which will be taken at the exccutlves’s meeting was doubtful early today. Some executives predicted the ulti niatum presented by Bert M. Jewell, head of Hie shop crafts organization, would bo ignored. They pointed out that the railway executives’ association had not eon idered any labor matters since creation.of the United States railroad la bor board. That Jewell and other union leaders might be called in to confer With the executives, was believed probable. That tho executives will not agree to ail of Jewell's demands was certain. Pullman shops throughout the country will also be affected by tile shop crafts strike. Railroads prepared to guard their property especially in the big shop centers. The strike will be felt most at division points and communities where tile huge railroad and Pullman shops aro located. Union leaders declared that every effort would be made to conduct tile strike without violence and that the walkout would he accompanied witli as little disturbance as possible. Bert Wolfe who lives near this city was in town today on business. Mrs. Paul Sauers of Markle, is visiting friends in this city this week.
