A GRAND SCHEME.
Railroad Union Planned to Do Away with
Strikes and Boycotts.

CnlcAuo, April lG.-Men who for sev
eral days have been laborng on the forma
ton of an American Railway Union, yes
teriay completed the first step in the enter
prise. They have issued lengthy docu
ment, setting forth the outline of one of The
greatest labor Organizations the world ha.
ever seen.
The union proposes TO enlist, so far as
possible, all railway employees of every
description. 1t is avowed object is the
abolition of the strike and boycott as a
means of settling difficulties, and the
eradication of heavy taxes and dues which
members of various organization are now
compelled to pay.
The founders claim the new organization
will in no sense conflict with the existing
organizations of railway employees. 1t is
designed primarily they say, for the grea,
numbers of men who belong to no organi-
cation. There will be no secret meetings,
or ballot, no grand officers. no grievance
committees.
All minor difficulties between employees
and corporations will be adjusted without
strikes, with all regard for the rights and
best interests of the men. The scheme in
cludes an employment bureau and iAsur-
ance department.
