When told of the hews from Chicago that high officials of the system fed eration declared that a strike on the Harrlman lines Is Inevitable and will be declared Saturday morning, E. E. Calvin, general manager of the Southern Pacific, said hero today he bat received no Information on the subject, adding that ho had no rea son to expect any. that the shopmen of the Missouri, a Kansas & Texas railroad, affiliated with th system federation, have struck in sympathy with th car men who are not affiliated with th sys tem federation. Th points affected by the strike are Donlson, San An tonio, Texas; Sedalla, Mo.; and Par sons, Kansas. Kline had the following to say of the strike situation today: "I have been busy handling the strike situ ation and have not had time to pre pare for our convention In Atlanta on October 2. The reply of Krutt- schnltt Is very unsatisfactory, and there Is nothing In It to alter th situation. The unions have gone as far as they can, and be honorable to their men. Kruttschnitt aaya the men are treated fairly and wonders why they wish to strike. Ha says nothing about the physical examina tions to which they must submit, the personal record examinations, the rank discriminations and favoritism shown nor the utter disregard of seniority In giving preferences. He snys nothing about the railroads rid ding themselves of the older men or transferring them to new hhops. The men Insist on having their old positions and will not retreat from their stand. The matter of wages and hours of work Is for later con Jderatlon. All we ar asking tor low Is recognition of the system federation."
