8 GRUNAU, FREED ON BAIL, TRIES TO END STRIKE Expected to Call Another Mass Meeting of Insurgent Rail Men in Chicago. CHICAGO, April 22.—John Grunau, . loader of the striking railroad switchmen, was back in Chicago today, free from Jail on bond. Following the breakup of the strikers' mass meeting called yesterday to of ficially end the strike. Shannon Jones and R. S. Murphy, Grunau aids, led groups of strikers back to their jobs. They were called •'rebels” and ‘‘trait-, ors" when they attempted to hare the strikers’ meeting vote to end the strike. Railroad officials report the sitution nearly normal. NEW MEN REPLACE STRIKERS HERE Thirty-eight crews were working in the Big Four yards here today and fifty-nine trains, with 1,71$ loaded cars, were moved in and out of the terminal in the last twenty-four hours. Many officials and clerks of the Big Four who have been working as switch men have been relieved from duty and the engines were turned over to newly employed men. Seventy-eight new men have been em ployed by the Big Four. The Pennsylvania railroad reported that one man had returned to work as a result of the ultimatum calling on all switchmeu who wished to continue in the service to report for duty. Strikers continued to hold meetings in the Labor Temple "and leaders held to the position that tb° railroad labor board would be forced to give the na tional yardmen's committee a hearing. While improvement of freight traffic conditions throughout the country was reflected in the number of cars moved here, manufacturers of the city were •aid to be encountering more serious obstacles to operation each hour as stocks of various parts ant materials were being depleted. George >f. Dickson, president and gen eral manager of the National Motor Car and Vehicle Company, said ■ complete shutdown of that company's plant was Inevitable within the next day or two, re gardless of any strike settlement that may be reached. SEEKS TO HALT GAS SHORTAGE \ Steps wae taken today by the Citl sens Gas Company, with the support of the Interstate Commerce Commission, to get a solid train of coal-laden cars through to Indianapolis from Roanoke, Va., as a measure of relief from the threatened gas famine Gas consumption here yesterday was S, 000,000 cubic feet and in that period only 7,900.000 cubic feet was made. The state public service commission has joined with the gas company in urging the Interstate Commerce Com mission to find a remedy for the situation. The plan to get a trainload of coai from the Virginia mine fields will furnish relief once its success Is assured. It is hoped the railroads can be persuaded to send the train through under orders similar to those under ■which a passenger train moves, so that etrlke conditions In switching yards may not cause any delay. A committee of Indianapolis restaurant men visited J. D. Forrest, general man- Mj* of the gas company, to request that hormal gas pressure be maintained in the pipes from 5:30 o'clock in the morning until 9 o'clock. Mr. Forrest said that luaif a.faoasure would resuit in a complete shutdown of the gas plant within a short time, e* the mealtime consumption of yesterday under present regulations was ?j*) p er cent of normal.
