Switchmen Await Vote on Walkout (Continued From Pace One.) strike. The vote taken was held hi check by the more, conservative members, however, it was stated . "Watchful Waiting." Switchmen are seeking an in crease of 32i cents an hour. They are now paid 6216 cents an hour. Better working conditions and uniform adoption by all roads of the litest safety devices, will also be sought by the new local association. Railroad officials in Omaha have adopted a policy of "watchful wait ing." George W. Holdrege, general manager, of the Burlington, stated this morning that he had received no communications from switchmen. Officials here are in the dark as to the true condition of affairs in the local yards. E. E. Calvin, vice president of the Union Pacific, likewise has received no communications, it was an nounced from his office. Members of the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks said there was no agitation in Omaha for a sympa thetic walkout of office employes. Predict Normal Conditions In Chicago Area Next Week Chicago, April 9.- A break in the unauthorized strike of switchmen and enginemen at Chicago, where it started nine days ago, spreading to a number of cities, was announced to day by A. F. Whitney, vice president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmcut. who conferred with a committee of strikers from the Chi-1 caeo and Northwestern road. j The delegation was said to have tcld Mr. Whitney that a vote would be taken within-24 hours with a view to ending the strike on that railroad by Saturday night. Brotherhood of ficers said that a number of strikers returned to work and predicted that the movement of freight in the Chi cago area would be near normal by next week. Leaders of the insurgents said the strike was not only not broken but would be carried on until a new un ion was completed. 30,000 Men Out. Reports from rail centers through out the country indicated that nearly 30,000 railroad men were on strike. Frdght embargoes were declared in a number of cities. Breaks in the strike were reported in a few places. Switchmen and brakemcn on the Missouri Pacific railroad at Sedalia, Mo., who walked out this morning, returned to work this afternoon. Railroad officers in the New York area reported that strikers were re turning to New Jersey yards where about half the workers struck. Heads of the brotherhoods tonight denounced the strike as purely an attempt to disrupt the old unions, More time in which to break the strike was asked in a letter ad dressed to the Western Association of Railways by the five big railroad brotherhoods. Important developments of the day were the ordering of an investi gation of the strike by the United States senate and an announcement by W. G. Lee, president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, that the brotherhood would oppose any attempt to settle the walkout by mediation. Clearcut Fight. The strike had become a clearcut fight between the recognized rail road organizations and the radical element among the rail workers. Brotherhood claim that freight traffic in Chicago was 50 ter cent of normal today was Countered bv the rebels' assertion that the tieup had become more nearly complete. The labor brotherhoods continued to bring in members of their organi zations from outside points to fill the places of the strikers and there is good reason to believe conditions in the Chicago district will continue to improve rapidly within the net few days." In the St. Louis district, including East St. Louis and Madison, 111., an embargo on all incoming and outgo ing freight traffic was ordered. Yardmen on 27 roads were on strike. AH railroads in Kansas City oper ating under contracts with the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen were affected. An embargo was declared on incoming freight and packing plants curtailed their output from 50 to 75 per cent. Summary of Conditions.
