The strike thus far hs seriously crippled the service on eleven railroads running into Chicago and a1) threatens to interfere with a?', railroad traffic in th Chicago railroad district. Trains on all the roads affected were greatly delayed, both in arriving and departing, some, of them as much us twelve hours. SITVATIOV ! SEHIOIS The seriousness of th situation from a standpoint of possible violence was disclosed, w hen ej Tiief of Police Oarrity tardy today ordered the en tire police force to be held in resetvs to deal with the strike. "It may be necessary- fo call out the militia and place all railroad yard under martial law." ho said. "I( tr.vu hie starts, the polce will be. un- "-' to cope with the situation. 0 mil (K T AHB INVOLVED Sixty per cent of the switchmen em ployed by the roads invc-iveel are taiving: part in the strike, which is a violation of the strikers' agreement with the railroads and was launched without the sanction of the Brotherhood of Hailway Trainmen and the Switchmen's Union of North America, to which the strikers belong. Pleads of tlie two unions are co-operatine with the road officials against the strikers. There will be no compromise with the strikers was the decision of the railroad officials after a conference, with the union heads. The roads hit by the strike are the St. Paul, Monon. Jvorthwestcrn. Nickle Plate, Illinois Central, Chtcaf; unction. Santa Fe. Grand Trunk. Hel Railway of Chicagev. Indiana Harbor Pelt Line, Michigan Centra! and Pennsylvania . E With weather conditions holding freight traffic pract cally at a stamlstiU anyway, the strike of railwayswitchmen and yardmen was noticeable today more because of the number of men who congregated on street corners of cities of the Calumet region that from the absence of freight trains 1 over the main roads. "We will know better how bard t)(e striko is bitting us after our yarai are shoveled out and trains can one more be made up." was the answer received from officials of the majority of roads affected. On the I. H. B. railroad many of tbe men reported for duty this morning as usual, but there were more absent than present. The same conditions prevail elsewhere indicating that th" strike does not meet the approval of ail of the union men. The walkout came as a surprise to the I. Ii . P.. railroad, according to George Ha.inauer, general manager and vice president of the road. "The I. H. F. railroad has r.ever had any request from the alleged tganization that is sponsoring: this strike." said Mr. Hannauer today. "I'nOI Saturday I didn't know that any of our employes belonged to it. In connection with the Prot herhood of P.ailroad Trainmen the question of rates of pay and of conditions for yardmen is being handled in accordance with tbe Transportation Acts of IlL'ii. Any one with a practical knowledgc of the situation knows that it is practically impossible for the. yardmen to gain anything for themselves by the notion they have taken.
