Railroad Notes Prominent Strike and Route Rumors
Cedar Rapids May 6 There is little change in the B C R N strike with workers aided by local merchants and labor groups and vowing to hold out. Weekly distributions total about 1,000 from the Federation of Labor. married men get 6 a week and singles 4. The strikers claim symbolical sympathy from fremen and switchmen. The company says it has added 250 men and is not crippled. Observers expect men to seek other jobs as the strike drifts on. Reports say preliminaries are set for transferring the Chicago and Great Western, with Starriman interests poised to gain control to preserve high rates through community of interest. Sioux City Tribune notes a survey through southern Osceola to Spirit Lake, hinting the Omaha road may build a branch from Sioux City-S. St. Paul line. Primghar Bell repeats talk of a Sioux City Spirit Lake railroad via Primghar, with route agents already surveying. Marriage license issued: Michael Ryan Milford and Anna Dardadg. Also ad copy for Economy Store dairy butter and Nancolas plumbing.
