"OUTLAW" STRIKE.

United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. New York, Jane 21

What is termed an “outlaw” railway scribe began on April 2nd following on the 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 public acted as strike breakers, whose objects were regarded as the destruction of constructive unionism and its repalcement by destructive tactics of force. Now a second “outlaw” strike of railwayman has commenced at various centres throughout the Eastern States, The men’s reason for acting is the alleged unreasonable delay of the Railway Labour Board in making known its decision in appeals by employees for higher wages. Already many hundreds are out, but passenger traffic so far is not affected.
