Railroad Strike Dwindles Away. "Outlaw" Walk out Apparently Collapses The nationwide railroad strike ap parently has collapsed. Except in a few isolated sections railroad officials reported last night the bulk of the men who followed the leadership of John Gru?an, a Chica go trainman, had returned to work. Normal passenger service was vir tually restored, they said, while sub stantial progress had been made in moving the vast amount of freight that had been accumulating through out the country, especially in the East, during the past three weeks. Many of the strikers went out without presenting any grievances, and later announced that failure to receive the increases in wages grant ed to other railroad men prompted their action. The strikers, who acted in defiance of the railroad brother hood chiefs, have generally returned without any definite promises of more pay. Demands to Board.

Not more than 2,000 men are reported to be out there by railroad officials, although these fig ures were disputed by Gr?nau, who claimed the strikers' ranks were un broken and that a meeting of "out law" union heads from all sections of the country would be held there to day to make plans for continuing the strike.

The return of several hundred striking Baltimore and Ohio train men of the Connellsville-Pitstburgh. division is expected to mark general resumption of freight so-vice in that district.
