The decision of the machinists is/ believed to have been caused by re- ceipt of a message from Chicago stat- ing that the strike is not authorized by the international officers and is said to be in direct violation of an agreement made by Acting Vice- President Jewell with the director general. The same view has been held from the start by Burlington workers, of- ficials of this road here state, and the men are remaining on duty until of- ficial notice is received from the head of the brotherhood instructing them to strike. Chicago reports attribute the strike to a demand for a wage-of 85 cents an. hour for machinists and 60 cents an hour for helpers. Northwestern officials reported that trains were being run regularly ut that the strike could not con- tinue indefinitely here without crip- pling the service because some repair ‘work would haye to be done to equip-! ment soon.
