Clerks Vote On Strike At Western Maryland R R Office
Clerks in the Western Maryland Railroad offices at Hagerstown are voting today on a strike. About 250 clerks are involved and the result will be known by evening. Robert Snyder of North Potomac Street leads the clerks union. If they join 600 men who previously left the shore when the Dickson Construction and Repair Company took over, the system would be heavily handicapped. Details of the vote could not be obtained. Snyder will be in Baltimore for a meeting of the Nonpartisan League this evening. Local officers refuse comment and defer to Snyder. The railroad says it will not extend the contract or reinstate strikers except by individual application to Dickson. Public sentiment appears evenly split.
