WASHINGTON, d. c.. Nov cO.-Repre-
sentative Bellamy Storer, of the commerce
committee of the house, and one of the
readers In formulating legislation affecting
railroads and commerce. Gays:
Inc recommended lions of the national
StTlke commission cannot be embodied into
law at the coming sessi IN, as the time is
TOO snort to take up such a great question
put law on the general lines suggested by
the commission is sure to come It an early
uay' and railroad men will consult their
own interests If they recognize md accept
the inevitable.
IL was no experiment for the federal
government to give it's protection 10 a class
OF employees. Already national Shipping
laws protect sailors. The latter canrot be
nired ana discharged at will, but must be
hlred for a definite time, usually voyage
ana the federal law protects hem in the
execution of this contract. The government
mas been so careful to guard this class OF
employees that sailors have the extreme
right of libeling a ship and tying it up for
non-payment of wages.
IL IS rather singular, therefore, to hear
surprise expressed at the suggestion that
railroad and other Interstate corporatio
employees should have the benefit of
national law. The shipping laws have de-
monstrated their usefulness, and you never
near or a sailor being unjustly discharged
lhere are no sailors strikes And the an

stand together in passing two measures of
such wide Importance.
