Election of officers took place at the meeting and an application "has been wired Chicago by he local unit for a charter In the Yardmen's Association, of America. Only one crew of three regular switch men was working in the local yards early Saturday evening. It was esti mated that six crews appeared for- work at the Alblna yards, but the O-W. R. & N. officials decided that they would have more use for the men Sunday for day light operation. ONE REGULAR CREW WORKING The one regular crew which remained at work was being used for yard work at the Union station. Not a switchman appeared for work at the change of tricks Saturday afternoon; at the Norh Bank station or the Brooklyn yards of the Southern Pacific. Since Friday afternoon, when the strike broke in this district, members of all three tricks have now had a chance to make appearance for duty, but slightly less than GO of the 250 switchmen In the local yards have stayed with their work. Whera officials of the five major rail roads serving this district the South ern Pacific, O-W., Great Northern, Northern Pacific and S.. P. A S. have found It necessary to make emergency car movements special helpers have been employed. With the sfrlkera claiming that the walkout is 95 per cent effective locally, they have definitely decided to sever their relations with " the Swltcbemn's Union of North America and join the Yardmen's Association of North Amer ica the "rebel'.' organization born out of the trouble "at Chicago. As a new organization, the switch men held a mass meeting at Woodmen hall, in Lower Albina, at 7 o'clock Sat urday evening and drafted a set of de mand to be sent to the various rail road officials. STRIKERS ISSUE STATEMENT The statement of the strikers follows: "An authorized committee representing the men Involved in the walk out of the yardmen on the several railroad center ing In Portland, Or., have submitted the following demands upon the railroads managements : "First That we are In sympathy with the yardmen walking out in the several terminal yards throughout the United States. "Second That we be granted the same rates of pay which these men are ask ing, which consists of, plus Denver dif ferential: Engine foremen, tl per hour Helpers, 95 cents per hour, -i "Time and ope half for overtime ; doable time for Sundays and holidays , eight hours, or less, to constitute a day ; time and one half to be paid for any time worked in excess of eight hours In any 24 hour period ; assistant yardmas ters $250 per month ; two days per month off. Two weeks per year vacation with pay. Men used as relief yard mas ters shall be paid a lally rats based on the number of days worked by the regu lar yardmaster. That all yardmastrs Shall work not to exceed eight hours In any 24 hour period. Any time worked In excess of eight hours to be paid at the rate of time and one half. This to In clude all yardmasters under the general yardmaster. Engine , herders shall . be paid at the same rate as engine foremen. As vacancies occur such vacancies shall be bulletined and assigned to the oldest man In seniority bidding for same. Switchtenders shall be paid at the rate received by helper. As vacancies occur such vacancies shall be- bulletined and assigned to the oldest man in seniority bidding for same. "Third That we wilfcnot resume work until each and every man is granted his position and maintains his former senior ity and is allowed all privileges granted to employes prior to walk out. and all men who remained In service during walk out shall be discharged. "Fourth That we are willing to re sume work under the same schedules of working conditions that were in effect at the time of walk out with the privi lege of negotiating with the management for any working conditions as we may deem necessary." VyiOS OFFICIAL ARRIYE8 W. J. Babe, national deputy vice presi dent of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, who Is in Portland to take charge of the local situation, and E. D. Hobbs, general chairman of the train men on the O-W., have been conferring over methods of fighting the strike. No decision had been reached by the B of R. T men late Saturday evening. These officials reported that no action would 'now be taken until Monday. It was reported that the brotherhood men would use any means possible to bring the "rebels" back to work, even to the expediency of bringing in union switchmen to squelch, the uprising against union agreements. Some speculation was being made over the fact that Southern Pacific switchmen had not responded to the flat ultimatum Issued by J. H. Dyer, assistant general manager in charge of the northern district of the S. P. DTEB ISSUES WARNING Dyer published a warning to the men Friday night that the company would consider the positions vacant if the men did not report on duty by 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon, and said that Im mediate steps would be taken to fill the position Not a man appeared at the Brooklyn yards Saturday afternoon. Dyer had issued no additional state ment late Saturday evening. Every railroad serving Portland has placed embargoes against the accept ance or delivery of freight at Portland, and have embargoed all freight move ments through this city. This ruling was expected to be "water tight" in effect over Sunday. Sunday is ordinarily a quiet day in yard movement, and It Is not expected any attempt will be made to move freight today. PASSENGER TRAINS DELAYED Passenger service is being maintained with some slight delays. One switch engine is being employed each at the Union and North Bank station a and these are caring for passenger shifting inthe local termini. Strikers who met with- Jenkins said that they had no Intention of making any trouble. The chief of police decided Lnot to place any extra details on duty. preiernng 10 uuh we wora 01 ine switchmen that nothing radical would be attempted. Although it is estimated that only SCO switchmen are off duty In this dis trict, enginemen are unable to operate without aid of the yardmen. Because of this it is estimated that 800 railroad workers are affected In Portland. Railroad officials were preparing Saturday evening to hold conferences, Sunday and will probably have a defi nite program for fighting the strike adopted by that Urns. The officials agreed that the men seemed intent upon carrying out their strike and felt that the men would not return until their demands were met, strike-breakers were put to work or were forced back by hunger. " " HUSBAND IN DIVORCE SUIT WILLING TO FORGIVE WIFE Ralph L. Lantis filed an answer and cross complaint Saturday in the di vorce action of Gladys May Lantis. in which he charp?s Mrs. Lantlu with numerous love affairs with other men. He exhibits a forgiving spirit, however, and declares that notwithstanding the charges he make, "remembering her youth and inexperience and knowing that he loves her and her children, the defendant will forgive and forget, take her back into his home and try to make a good, kind husband and father." Lantis says his wife's alleged Indis cretions have been due mainly to her failure to understand the seriousness of the marriage relation.

Haywood said he was for the strikers, that any strike Is a good strike, but that his organization was not connected with the present difficulty. As the regular workers continued to desert their places in the yards,' their places were taken by clerks and officials who had switching experience. Mem bers of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen also assisted in attempting to break the strike. In the Middle West there were no reports of serious passen ger train trouble, but practically every road issued embargoes on freight. Brotherhood men replaced the strikers with no sign of animosity from either side. The "loyal" brotherhood men scorned police protection. At no place were there reports of violence.
