COUCH (Cntted Press Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, » oo Telegrams received by the Amex fean Federation of Labor today indicated that railway shopmen who struck without authority have already started going back to work, in response to Presi dent's Wilson's letter, in which he asserted the government would not consider higher wages for them until all men were back on their jobs. Strikers were reported to have returned to all shops on the Lackawanna and on the Norfolk & Western railroads, The president, in a letter to Rail Director Hines, told him to take up the wage question without further) authority from congress, but also told him there would be no dealings | with the employes until the railroad | shopmen, who walked out without | the sanction of their leaders, went} back to their jobs. B, M. Jewell, acting president of the railway department of the Amer-| ican Federation of Labor, has tele- graphed the shopmen, asking them to resume work so a settlement of all the railroad employes’ wage de- mands will not be delayed, Awaiting Answer Answers to Jewell’s appeal were} looked for today in the action of the unauthorized strikers. If they go back to work nefotiations between the railroad administration and the employes will proceed. Otherwise, according to Wilson's letter, the gov- ernment will ignore the wage de- mands, “Until the employes return to work and again recognize the authority of their organizations, the whole matter must be at a standstill,” wrote the president. The letter emphasized that the rail administration will deal only with duly accredited national heads of the unions. “You are hereby authorized,” the president ordered Hines, “to say to the railroad shop employes that the question of wages they have raised will be taken up and considered on its merits by the director general in conference with their duly acered- ited representatives.” President Wilson instructed Hines to decide the wage question follow ing receipt of @ letter from Senator Cummins, who said the senate in- terstate commerce committes had de \ AND C | ALL-LINEN HANDKER- good quality in black liced SILK.

Even Representative introduced their plan as a house bill by request, today definitely stated he could not agree to it in many details, He favors govern- ment ownership of the fixed equip- ment of the lines, with leases to private corporations for operation, the owners being allowed to keep the rolling stock.

Nothing definite has been revealed with re- gard to the conference on railroad control, which Glenn Plumb, attor- ney for the raflroad employes, said had been called to meet in Wash- ington, and to which many promi- nent persons, including Governor Allen, Kansas, and rank P. Walsh had been invited, The date remains to be fixed, Sims, who . totaled $2,500, Practically six tons Freight Delayed % of bacon, 100 cans of canned toma- toes and five cases of corned beef were disposed of up to 6 p. m., when the market was closed. Many hundreds of disappointed shoppers were still in line when the exhausted salesmen laid off for the day. Dixon announced he had sev- eral additional salesman to aid in the dispensing of the foodstuffs. Much disappointment and dis- Pleasure resulted when purchasers of bacon discovered that the bacon was more fat than lean. The city officials explained frankly that the bacon they are selling is not break- fast bacon, but army bacon. It was intended for overseas and barrack consumption, In this instance, it is explained, the meat would neces sarily have to lay in cold storage for several months in many instances. So the meat was heavily salted and smoked. Local butchers say that the bacon is well worth the price purchasers are paying for it. Car cleaners at the King st station joined the striking road shopmen Thuragay. ‘That is another way of saying that all coaches and sleepers will leave the station ungwept and uncleaned, according to the strikers. Close to 3,000 shopmen, car repairers, car cleaners, machin- ists, electricians, car couplers, help- ers and blacksmiths, have walked out since last Tuesday on trans- continental lines west of the according to the strike committee's figures, Railroad shopmen at Auburn and Ellensburg, with the exception of car repairers employed by the North- ern Pacific railroad, walked out Thursday to join the Interbay and Everett shopmen, Officials of the United States rail- road administration stated Thursday that they did not believe the strike wil! become sufficiently effective to interrupt train service. In spite of this assurance, the Northern Pacific issued an embargo on dead freight, with the exception of coal Certain forms of imperishable foods will be accepted for delivery, but “subject to delay.” According to railroad executives, the strike was called illegally. They point to a lack of unity In the walk- out, and the silence of national ex- ecutives of the shopmen's unions as proof of their statement. Charles A.
