Somerville Strike Ties Up Rail Traffic With Idle Engines
A Somerville observer, not connected to railways, says the strike ties up the area. A large crowd of railroad workers is present, ten to fifteen engines are dead and tied up, and all tracks are occupied with cars including the cross-tote plant switches. Trains run close together until hot boxes force delays, then they stop roadside to avoid congestion.
