"RAILROAD LINE
(Continued front First Pane.)
h-fi—O
tack the company and the public by
surprise.
There has been ill feeling on the
part of the employee for sometime o‘w
ing to the refusal of the Northern Rail~
road to increase the wages of the men
to a minimum of ”.00 a dhy. and to
of the employee are as follows:
First, a general increase in wages to
meet the higher cost of living.
Second, a retroactive application at
the employee‘ pension law.
Third. a more equitable division of
Work
Fourth. the granting of one day all
.in seven for all employee.
Fifth. distinct employment by the
mentb instead of by the day. .
it is understood that the men plan
tied to have the strike begun in Paris
at midnight and in the provinces at 8
o‘clock this morning.
As soon as the company and tile au-
thorities learned the situation. the
Paris terminus of the road was occu-
pied by the military. municipal guards
and the police. During the night
troops were assembled in this city and
Ilong the lines of the roads in the pro-
vinces. The trainmcn declared that
it they were called upon as reservists
to man the trains they would refuse
on the ground that the law provided
only for the mobilization of railroad
men for the purpose of transporting
troops.
Tile demands originated with the un‘
.dcr tralutnen. but they were supported
by the complete personnel as every
branch of the service has some griev-
uses.
The strikers threaten to draw to
their support the employee of the state
railroad lines.
Work ceased first .on the freight
trains and none of them left the city
iaat night. Early in the night wire
communication along the road was in-
terrupted. but whether this was the
work of the strikers qu not known.
The situation. however. served to
keep the management in ignorance of
what trains were moving.
The postal department hurriedly
prepared an automobile service to car.
ry the malls in the north.
Several trains from the provinces ur-
rived here after midnight, their cngl-
users not having been apprised of the
strike. \0 trains left this city between
midnight and 6 o‘clock
At daybreak this city was severely
affected. Only a few crowded suburb-
an trains arrived from the outlyina
northern districts. Thousands of,
workmen were unable to reach the
capital this morning. Others walked
in.

At an early hour it was not known

The cars on the main line arriving

The main line curs leaving Norwslk
