Completely in One Week by Walkout
Other Brotherhoods Secretly Agree to Refuse to Handle
Any Cars Previously Touched By
Companies' Strike Breakers
Chicago, III., Sept. 20. Tliut the entire western country will by the
end of till week or early next week, )e In tin- throes of u serious indus-
triiii struggle Is today Ussurod by tlie scuiiroffleial announcement, of
officials of the System of Federation of Railroad Sliop Employes, to-
tlay 'that twenty-five thousand employes of the Ilnrririmn System of
Railroad lines, will lay loun tlielr tools mid walk out on a strike to-
morrow morning; at 10 o'eloek.
The announcement further (dates
that ten thousand Federation System
members, employed on the Illinois
Central railroad will strike Monday.
The federation officials predicted to
day that twelve thousand .unorganiz
ed employes will quit with the union
employes at the flrt call issue by
the federation officials. They further
state' that at least fifty thousand m
will have Joined the strike by Mon
day night.
It l generally thought that the
strike will rapidly gain .n proportions
and spread to every railroad in the
western country within a very few
days.
A report has gair.ed circulation to
the effect that other railway brother
hoods, have secretly entered into an
agreement, whereby they will refuse
to handle nny freight or other car'
'which have previously been handled
by strikebreakers, which it Is expect
ed the railroad companies will Import
for the purpose of tak-ng the positions
vacated by the striking shopmen.
This is considered one of the mo-t
dangerous fentures of the 6trlkc. as
t would immediately show effect on
"every railroad In the country and
m ght easily bring about the same
condition that prevailed In England
a few weeks ago, during the Indus
trial struggle In that country.
All member of the system of fed
erated shopmen seem to be as a unit
In the opln.on that they will succeed
In tying up effectually the entire
Haniman system within a week's
time, by actually paralyzing the com
pany's operating department.

session of Tripoli, a Turkish colony oir the northern const of Africa,
