THS GHKTBNNX BAGORD.
RAIL STRIKE AT END
TIHUP IN WEST BROKEN BY
ACTION OF HINES.
VOTETO RETURN TO POSITIONS
Members of “Big Four,” On Sympa
thetic Walkout, Follow Yardmen
When Ballot Is Taken.
Hss Angeles.—The 2,000 switchmen
nml yardmen who had been on strike
here for several days, returned to
work Saturday morning. A vote on
whether or not to return to work was
taken at a mass meeting which was
addressed by A. F. Whitney, interna
tional vice president of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen. A great
majority of those present favored re
suming work.
This was followed by the four local
brotherhoods, trainmen, conductors,
engineers and firemen, voting by a
two-thirds majority to return to work
at the same time.
The members of the four railway
brotherhoods hud been on strike here
for more than a week, following a
walkout of yardmen in sympathy with
a strike of trainmen of the Pacific

trains, left many points in California
without malls for days and threatened
a water famine at desert points de
pendent on railroad tank cars for their

rector General of Railroads Hines to
operate the roads regardless of the
strike is believed to have had much
to do with the men returning to their
jobs.
Victims of Propaganda.
Washington, D. C. —Persons buying
clothing and other articles now for next
year because they think prices will be

propaganda, and are only helping to

be an organized propaganda promoted
by dealers to frighten persons into
making purchases now that ordinarily
would not be mude until next year,”
he said. “We are being told that
prices will be higher next year and
that we can never buy this and that
again at the price now prevailing.
“I do not put any faith in such
alarmist predictions. I believe that
the price of almost every necessity
of life will be cheaper next year than
this. Increased production Is going to
effect that result.”
