RAILWAY TIE-UP IMMINENT.

Strike Pending that Will Involve 15,000 Men in New England. A strike that will involve from 12,000 to 15,000 men and promises tp tie up both the Boston and Maine and the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroads seems tlie inevitable outcome of the labor troubles at Boston. The Order of Railway Telegraphers is responsible for the present phase of the situation in seeking the adjustment of what the members consider grievances. The employes of other departments also have grievances, though, and will probably aid in a general movement to put the railroad employes of New England in a more favorable situation.
