Walkout by Groups
The southern union officials were told by the brotherhood chiefs that the strike orders had been arranged so to have the walkout begin on a certain group of roads at 7 p.m. (Eastern standard time) Saturday, and gradually extended to all roads in the country by until Wednesday. Each 24 hours new group would be affected, progressive system, the union men say, adopted to avoid paralyzing traffic. This was suddenly throughout the country and to give railroads a chance to stop the strike's spread by meeting the union demands if they wish. Strike May Follow Meeting
NEW YORK, March 14.—The rail committee and the way managers of the brotherhood chiefs held separate meetings today in preparation for the general session tomorrow. A strike may follow tomorrow's meeting.
