ANNUL ORDERS j* FOR STRIKE LEADERS OF UNIONS CALL OFF SCHEDULED WALKOUT - : x Action Taken Because of Public * Opinion That Strike Would Be Ag&inst Labor Board | 1 Chicago, Oct. 27.?T'ie rail j strike scheduled for October 10 was1 averted tonight when leader of the j * switchmen, trainmen, aonauctors, en-;J ' c gineers and firemen at a joint meeting ! adopted a resolution withdrawing au- 1 thorization of a walkout and officials' | r nf t>io rn.il va?H fplpcrranV?pr<5> r>rcraniza- i * tions announced they would take sim-! i Cl ilar action. These were the only j" unions which had authorized a strike, i" t J The vote calling off the strike was i unanimous by orgai^/..itions, W. G. . Lee, president of the Brotherhood of :1 Railroad Trainmen, announced. The ; 1 official wording of the ^resolution jc adopted was that "the strike be de- j clared not effective." \ ^ The vote in the individual unions : r was unusually close, however, the ^ firemen particularly holding lengthy l arguments before agreeing to cancel- j * lation of the strike order, the labor ! v chieftains said.x In some of the ' * groups the baKot was described "the closest in history on a similar i ^ question." All of the differences; r were ironed out by the different- ur- ; t ions, however, and the final show I down found all of them casting their' v ballots for "no strike." !, Had Little Chance : ^ L. E. Sheppard, president of the j 1 Order of Railway Conductors, said: I that, the unions had decided to call I c off the strike because of "th^ grow- J iijg public opinion that the strike j I would be against the labor board con-, e sequently the government, and notjr against the roads. j\ "It was evident alst> that the entire; t Washington administration was op-j posed to us and that we had little i 2 chance of gaining ourvobjectives," it said Mr. Sheppard. { g "We called this strike to gain cer-; s tain rights to which our mens were ! ?? \r~ +?,w 4o. !<> C11L111CU, <ui> uu^yaiu kviu uiv sociated Press. "It soon became evi- j t dent, however, that the roads were^J succeeding in their misleading propa-: Y ganda to the effect ihat we really | h would be striking against the govern- j e ment.

The first announcement of the exs j cives' action was made by Mr. Lee Pushing' to the fioor be!o?v the hotel neeting where dozens of news >o-nr>r> ronnvtoi-! wpvp ennjrvp-o'atpd. he 7 milingly shouted "The strike is off, boys, but I've on- ; y got one copy of the resolution and .'11 show that to you tomorrow." All of the union men were smiling is they came out and many of them ocularly pushed and shoved each ther down the stairs. To all queries' nost of them merely replied 4'It's all settled. See you tomor ow." The code messages calling off the; itrike, arranged in advance, will jpe; ent out tomorrow morning, the union; leads said. A code word will v ent to each general chairman of l ituiions ard he will in return forward; he orders to each of the subordinate j jfficirl5, under him. I Labor Beard Instrumental Union leaders said that the resolu-. ion adopted by the labor board anlounc-ing that no further reduction j >etitions from ai:y one group of em-! " ~ t a M 1 )lovees wouTci be considered unui i * u vorking 'conditions for that group had j )een settled, was "decicirdly ir.stru-j nental" in bringing nbout the action J ailing off the walkout. They de- j lared that they believed under his! esolution it would be months before j heir pay could be reduced. The union resolution immediately j sras communicated to the labor board j tnd proved particularly gramying- tu; Valter McMenimen, member of the abor group who was instrumental in ringing aJbout the settlement of the risis. Mr. McMenimen, personal friend of j tfr. Lee, paved the way lor corner- j >nces between the board and union i nen, particularly those today which j vcre addressed by Ben Hopper, mem-i >er of te public group. "Iam immensely graiiiled," said klr. McMenim&n when informed off he employees' decision. "It Lakes a[ reat worry off my mina and I am ure it will be best for all." Mr. Hooper expressed himself as 'tickled to death" over the cancellaion of the walkout order.

Hooper. puosic member of the board, that wage reductions would not be considered by the board for any employees until the rules and working conditions for these employees had been settled. Mr. Hooper's arguments, made possible by the missionary work of Mr. McMenimen, labor member of the labor board, were the turning points in the discussion over calling off the strike, the union leaders said.The chieftains pointed out that the strike "absolutely was off" and that a walkout could not now be called until.a new vote hart been taKcn.
