Bitter attacks were wade on the rail

That the n e t ia Chicago expect to

plain by JaaMS B. Coaaors, rice-presi

declared that if a strike is ordered here

“ We have everything tied up from
Duluth to Seattle,” said Mr. Connors,
“ end we ere going to keep it tied np
until tke railroads are ready to treat us
fairly. The only thing that can defeat
the switchmen in this straggle is the
treachery o f kindred organizations. All
we want those organisations to do is to
keep their hands off and let us attend
to our own affairs. It has been charged
by President Lee, of tke Brotherhood
of Kailroed Trpinmen, through his press
agent, that members o f oar organisation
took the places o f other men on strike
That is a lie, aad I defy say maro to
show that a member o f the switchmen '■
