BIG SHE CULLED
OFF Iff LABOR LEADERS
Chicago, Oct i'i —The proposed
nation-wide railroad strike has been
called off by the leaders of ;he nine
brotherhoods, which voted to strike
on Sunday, the 30th. A number of
the unions voted not to go out. but
the hip unions of enciners and Bre
men look Ihe lead ir. voting to
strike and had they cone out would
have tied up the roads «o a preat
extent. «*ven if none of the other
unions went out
The strike was called off on
Thursday nipht. the railroad wot It
ers declarinc that thev vill main
tain their status qun as requested
by the government railroad board,
the board assured the union* that
there will he no further redaction
in wapes and no change- of rmes
until the present matters a'e all
settled up. Further, any reduction
in kapes and changes in rules will
have lo be passed upon by tb
board before the* can po into c-fl ■:
This will mean that the present
status will remain for .>• least a
year, as it will take tiw t- i e f.-r
the affairs between ihe inio-.s ant
railroads to be settle;!
j The official recall of the strike
order was made by the union lend
ers last night, but was not sent out
until this morning.
I VT O. Lee, president of the Broth
' rrhood of Railway Trainmen, who*?
' .nion voted again«t going on strike.
, and who personally stood out
! against a strike, in an interview,
' stated that he was thankful to Cod
that the strike was called off and
• he untold misery which would cer
tainly have followede thruout the
■ country had been averted.
That the government had mad»
i preparations in the event of the
railroad worker® going on strike is
in evidence in many directions. Had
the strike been declared it is felt
pem-rally thruout the country that
the workers would have had less
popular sympathy than they have
had in any strike which they have
undertaken District Attorney
Kline of Chicago revealed today the
fact that the government had *11 Its
plans laid including applications
for federal restraining orders thru
out the country at the time the
strike was called off
