COMMENCED BY AMERICAN RAILWAYMEN
VARIOUS EASTERN CENTRES AFFECTED

New York, June
What was termed an "outlaw" railway strike began on April 2, following on tho disrating of a foreman in a Chicago yard. The strike spread countrywide with remarkable swiftness, without any previous statement of grievances, although certain demands were formulated later; Unionists, as well as the public, acted as strike-breakers, the objects ol' the strikers being regarded as the destruction of constructive unionism and its replacement by the destructive tactics of force. :
Now a second "outlaw" strike of railwaymen has commenced' at various centres throughout the Eastern States. The men's reason for acting is alleged to be the unreasonable delay of the Railway Labour Board in making known its decision in appeals made by employees for higher wages. Already many hundreds are out, but passenger traffic' 60 far has not been affected.—lteuter.
