According to rnilroad officials and labor leaders a strike is likely to occur during the latter part of the present month or early in July that will involve from 125,000 to. 150,000 men, all mem bers of the American Federation of Labor. Should the strike occur it is ex pected that it will be general on twenty- two lines and will include all shopmen, switchmen and the other organizations affiliated with the Federation. At the present time the varions organ izations that comprise the federation are taking a vote on whether or not the strike shall be called. The vote will be canvassctLby the headquarters officials in the various districts, but the results will not be made public. The findings of tho officials will bo forwarded to St. Louis, at which place the general meet ing of federation officials is called for Juno 30. In voting on whether or not they will strike, there is no wage grievance that enters into consideration. It is asserted that it is to compel recognition of the affiliated organization of the labor crafts and also to compel the Harriman of ficials to bring about a settlement of the shop strike on the Harriman system of roads, that has now been on for the last six months. It is also sail by the labor leaders that a general strike at this time would bring to a close tho freight handlers' strike that is on in Chicago. Tho freight handlers are affiliated with the federation and it is contended that a general strike of the allied crafts would force recognition of the freight handlers. Omaha Bee Myrtle and Vicinity.
