ANOTHER RAILWAY STRIKE.
MORE TROUBLE IN AMERICA. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received June 22, 8.5 p.m. New York, June 21. What was termed an "outlaw" railway strike began on April 2, following on the disrating of a foreman in a Chicago yard. The strike spread coun-try-wide with remarkable swiftness without any previous statement of the grievances, although certain demands were formulated. Later, unionists, as well as the public, acted as strikebreakers, whose objects were regarded as the destruction of constructive unionism and its replacement by 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 *o he the unreasonable delay of the Railway Labor Board in making known its decision in appeals made by employees for higher wages. Already many hundreds are out, but mssenger traffic is so far not affected.— Reuter Service.
