The N R. includes all grades of railway workers, whilethe A. S. LL. E {and F. is sectional, as its name im- | plies. There has been much rivalry between the two organizations, and the N. U. R. claims to have more drivers and firemen than the sec- tional union' itself, but there is af- filiation between' the two organiza- tions, and in the present strike, as in most other disputes in the past, for 3 ey ores { they make common cause.

Without authorization the Northeastern Railway employes spontaneously ceased work and the system' was practically tied up.
