Hope for settle- ment of th rati strike here today apparently was definitely lost tills morning when the grand lodge officers, directors and trustees of the "outlaw" union reiterated their original demands and added two new ones to the list. it was reported when the leaders of tbe insurgent organization went into session that they were planning lu advise their men to return to work. At the close of tho session John Grunau, president of the Chicago Yardmen's association which called the first strike here, issued the following statement: At a meeting of grand lodge officer board of directors 4nd board of trustees of tho Chicago Yardmen's association at 10 o'clock a. m., it was unanimously decided that the original demands of the C. Y. A. presented to the General Managers association shall stand. Also that as far as switchmen and switch tenders are concerned, we must be recognized as the governing body. Also that there shall be no discrimination against any men who have withdrawn from the service of the various railroad companies, and they roust be restored to their former seniority rank.

The general managers and the brotherhoods here iue givn the strikers until Monday to return to work, under penalty of losing their seniority. Similar action has been taken elsewhere.
