EMPLOYES OF tH NORFOLK -SOUTHERN SHOPS QUIT WORK Resenting the dismissal of several of the men employed ln the local shops of the Norfolk Southern railway company, one hundred or mor&of the employes yesterday went on strike.' These m.en were employed in the boil er making, machine, carpentering and blacksmith departments and only a few men, non-unionists, were left to do the work. This action came as the culmination of a disagreement resulting from the fact that the company on Tuesday and Wednesday gave the men in the shops a .holiday and then when several of the employes were sent for to come to work they demanded pay for time and 1 a halt and this was refused. I hey then stated that they would not work without such compensation and were summarily dismissed. Following this other employes walked out and at a meeting of the union held Wednesday night the steps taken yesterday were agreed upon. ' . .Just what the Culmination of the strike will be is not known. Several of the union harvs are expected in the city this morning and th: settlement will be left up to them.
