Upon the return ot Attorney Gener-
al Daugherty from Valley Forge where
he attended the funeral of the late
Senator Knox he evidenced interest
in a section of the iailroad strike cal
which decalred there was no Ullter-
once between a mail and a freight
train so far as this right to refuse
service was concerned.
"When that question is studied"
Mr. Daugherty said "they will find a
serious doubt about their position."
Beyond this he- would not comment
on the situation.

American railroad men were ordered
to initiate a sti Ike October 30 while
othor unions whose membership brings
the total to about two million an-

preparing to follow suit and: make the
walkout general on tho same date.

be complete accondng to union pre-
dictions by November" 2.

ober 30 except for ono Texas lins

come offective touch forty-two of the
forty-eight states with a trackage oi
73000 miles out of the total United
States trackage of approximately 200-
000 miles.

the group that is virtually untouched
in the first walkout.
The stiike orders were issued to the
Big Five brotherhoods oldest and
most powoiful of the railway unions
and they specifically included mail
tiains in the walkout. Their provi-
sions instructed strikers to keep away
Tho strike was announced fallowing
an overwhelming vote said to be up
wards of 90 percent favoring a strike
because of an approximate 12 percent
wa"o reduction authorized by the
1'nlted States railroad labor board of
July 1 and after it was declared by
the Association of Railway Executives
in session recently that a furth-
er reduction would be sought by the
railroads. It was said taht the strike
decision was made before the an-
nouncement of this further intended
cut. Printed instructions as to con-
duct of the strike issued in Chicago
were dated October 14.
