Th committee In charge of the rail way men's strike at Leeds decided to call out all grades of men employed on the Midland railroad. This nctlon was taken because of the notice sent out by the general maniljcr of that road that men who had remained loyal to the company would held the positions formerly held by the strikers, to which they had been promoted during the recent trouble.
