Show general strike monday regarded as impossible CLEVELAND, Ohio, Dec. 30. Warren War-ren S Stone and W. G. Lee, heads of the railway engineers' and railway trainmen train-men 's "brotherhoods, respectively, arrived ar-rived in Cleveland today, following the rejection of the demand by the- managers' man-agers' committee that the Adamson law be placed in effect January 1. "It is highly improbable that there will be a strike Monday," Mr. Stone said. , . ., . . He declared the report that a circular circu-lar letter had been sent to railway employees em-ployees asking for a renewal of the authority to call a general strike was untrue. "No circular has yet been prepared," pre-pared," he said. Mr. Stone said no further statement would be forthcoming today in Cleveland Cleve-land and that there would be no meeting meet-ing of the brotherhood heads. It was' pointed out that a general strike Monday was an impossibility because be-cause of the fact that the railroad unions would have to be first notified of such an intention and they would have to notify their subchairmen. Lee said he had nothing to add to the statement state-ment given out yesterday in New York. "There will be no immediate strike," he said. |
