STEERS in Chicago in violation of the pledges
of their authorized officers and against the
advice TO their officers, who were disposed
to stand firm. have struck in order to bring
further pressure to bear upon the railroads.
Railroad companies are as much con-
cerned in the welfare of Chicago as any
other vested interest, yet they are opposed
TO making any concessions that will result
in yielding control of their business TO any
labor organization. Aside from this FUND
amental reason, there are many other con-
siderations which may be mentioned.
''First-The offers made by the railroad
companies April il and July gave sub
stantial and accurate increase OF wages.
Second-In all conferences held between
the railway officials and committees of en-
ployes it has been conclusively shown that
the terms offered them. In other words.
the Instructions in the way of settlement
come from officers of the union, who Will
not allow the employees TO accept the terms
the railways have offered.
''Third-A large number Of the employees
have already returned TO work and many
others have expressed a willingness to DO
so as soon as the prevailing disorder has
passed.
I'm this strike singular spectacle is
presented on the part of organized labor.
There is, on the one hand. a union, the
members of which struck without notice
and whose officers would not permit its
members TO deal with their employees, and,
when under pressure they did permit this,
refused to allow the committee to nego-
tate with the officers they met, while, on
the other hand, another union whose men,
bers, without grievance of their own have
gone on a sympathetic strike. in complete
violation of their own agreements with
their own employers made but a few weeks
ago in settlement of the teamsters strike,
disregarding in this respect all of the ap-
peals from their own union officers and
from their employers not TO break the
agreement and pledges so recently made.
This situation must have it's diScouraging
aspect to the law-abiding rank and file
among the labor unions, many of whom
as individuals realize the absolute neces-
sity of maintaining the integrity OF con-
tracts and agreements and must deplore
their own inability TO maintain such agree
ments with their employers when made, as
in this case, through the Intervention of
the union"
