The strike was about over in the East, and some switchmen returned to work in the West and Midwest.

But the strike continued in force at Chicago and St. Louis.

The only Chicago road reporting any return of strikers In significant number was the Burlington, which said 75 out of 254 had gone back to work, with the balance expected to return by tonight.
