Striking Shopmen To Hold Mass Meeting To Decide on Return to Work Question. Carrying a large American flag at the head cf its column 450 striking employees of the Kirk yards marched in a body from the union hall to the. E. J. fc E. office at 10 o'clock to draw their money. This is ray d.iy at the yards and upon their return will meet to discuss their future steps. With tho arrival cf news flashes, 'hat the railroad shopmen art? returning to work at different roints, a break is xfected hourly in the. strike situation at the Kirk yards In Gary where a walkout of nearly five hundred shopmen occurred a week ago yesterday. Vaea Meeting' Oi A mass meeting of the striking shopmen is to be held at the Union Headquarters In Gary today to decide. the steps to he taken. Aa yet none of the shopment have gone back to work officials of the union are awaiting- for advices from the district chairman in Chicago and until these arrive no decision will be reached according to the labor press committeeman this morning. That some, of the shopmen are. ready to go back to -work was evident from tomt cf the conversation heard on the street today. Others signify their intention of remaining rat until they get their demands. Some said. "We ought to stick it out." and a few remarked, "let's go back to work." Crisi Next Week. The crisis is not yet here In another week the. city would be tied up completely. At this hour it faces an ice. gas, water, light and coal famine. There will also be a shortage in meat and other commodities in a week or ten days, unless a settlement is made. The Gary Heat Light and Water company announced yesterday that they only have enough fuel to last a little ever a week and If the tie-up lasts that much longer they will have to shut down 'and the city will be without gas and electric power. The stock cf coke and oil at the gas plant Is very low and the coke plant they have barely enough to keap it In operation. There has been no noticeable charge at fhe steel mills during the past twenty-four hours with the exception that the situation is growing worse hourly. More men are being laid eff every shift and it Is estimated that between 10 and 11.000 tnen are row idle on the streets of the city. There has been ro trouble or violence of any kind since the walkout occurred. If the shopmen do not come to a deadlock at their meeting and resolve to go back to work tomorrow, the present congestion In Gary will start to loosen up in several days. The mills are so badly crippled though that it will take possibly a week before they will be able to get tack to the normal conditions again. While It was intimated that shopmen will agree to go to work, nothing official could be secured from the labor headquarters!. They are. expected to reach some kind of an agreement at the mting this afternoon. f INTERNATIONAL NEWS SEHVTCEj NEW YORK Aug. 9.
