Railroad Strike Dwindles
Away. "Outlaw" Walk
out Apparently Collapses
The nationwide railroad strike ap
parently has collapsed.
Except in a few isolated sections
railroad officials reported last night
the bulk of the men who followed the
leadership of John Gru?an, a Chica
go trainman, had returned to work.
Normal passenger service was vir
tually restored, they said, while sub
stantial progress had been made in
moving the vast amount of freight
that had been accumulating through
out the country, especially in the
East, during the past three weeks.
Many of the strikers went out
without presenting any grievances,
and later announced that failure to
receive the increases in wages grant
ed to other railroad men prompted
their action. The strikers, who acted
in defiance of the railroad brother
hood chiefs, have generally returned
without any definite promises of
more pay.
Demands to Board.
In many cases, however, they have
been assured their demands will be
presented to President Wilson's labor
board which is empowered under the
federal transportation act to settle

their men. The board is now sitting
in Washington.
In Chicago, the original strike cen

strike had lost its effectiveness,
while brotherhood chiefs declared ac

men are reported to be out there by
railroad officials, although these fig

claimed the strikers' ranks were un

of the country would be held there to
day to make plans for continuing
the strike.

turned to work. Strenuous efforts
were made last night to break up the
strike in Columbus, Ohio.
The principle effort of the strike
thus far has been the closing of
many industries because of their in
ability to obtain coal, raw materials
ducts. One hundred thousand men
and freight cars to move their pro
were reported idle in Detroit district,
a similar number in the state of Ohio
and 35,000 in the Connellsville coke
region, with many thousand others
out of work in other sections of the
country. Nowhere has there been a

Happy Old Age I
Of course .youth is the great time for happiness,
but old age has its compensations, too, provided age
rspresents the declining years of a well-spent life.
But to be happy in old age there mujt be a good
competence secured during the productive years of
life. We all must grow old. There ia no avoiding
it, but there is a way of avoiding a pennyless, poverty
stricken old age. That's why we urge people to start
a savings account which will be a friend in need as
you travel alonjr, and a great comforter during your
declining years.
