PITTSBURG, November 26~A strike
for increased wagea of all switbhmen
belongling to the Switchmen‘s Union of
North American in the Pittsburg dis-
trict was inaugurated this morning. Re~
ports have not been received from all
the yards but the omcials of theunlon
say it affects every road entering Pitts-
burg. except the Pittsburg. Fort Wayne
a: Chicago and Pitts C. C. & St. Louis.
and many private corporations and in-
dividuals. There are between 600 and
1,000 members of the local organization
and the union officials say that the re-
spouse will be general.
in their demands the switchmen ask-
ed for the enforcement of the standard
scale of wages. This calls for 27 cents
an hour for day foremen and conduc~
tore. the night men to receive two cents
more per hour, their work. being more
difficult and dangerous. Under the new
schedule the day helpers and brakemen
are rated at 85 cents an hour andIIthe
night men at 27 cents. IThe switchmen

that handled by other men in other
cities.
Whether the strikers will secure the
support of other men cannot be learn-
ed at this time. The officials of the
union say that the other railroad or-
ganisations. cannot. if they adhere to
the principles, laid down by their or-
ganizations. conscientiously oppose

strike closely, the present trouble is
likely to interfere materially with ship-
ments. The railroad officials believe.
however, that they will be able to cope
with the situation and that with the
assistance of the Brotherhood. traffic
will not be materially affected. There
has not however. been a time in the
history of the city when traffic in and
out of Pittsburg was so heavy. The
strikers say they are overworked on
this account and that they are forced
tfwork overtime to keep cars in mo-

J. D. Hughes, second vice g d mas-
ter of the Switchmen‘s Union f North
