The locomotive men belonging to the Assoclated Society were claimed by that organization to be “coming out solidly,” and an early result of their action was to bring about wide ailment of train service and a re- sort to motor cars by the suburbdn population in getting to work. The railway companies express the hope that they will get a better service going in the course of a day or so, and they congratulated themselves on having delivered London its milk P htre was reported to be some dis- satisfaction among locomotive men Who are members of the National Union of Railwaymen over the atti- tude of their organization, but the majority of the 20,000 or 30,000 en- gitemen who belong to this assocfa- tion are declared to be Obeying or- ders to remaih at work.
