To Cocrce Railroad Employees.

The railroad managers must fear
strike of their employees for they have
made bargain with Postmaster Gen
cral Payne to have the United States
mail carried on all trains, passenger
aud freight The press report OF the
arrangement states that this will pre-
vent any strike of railway employees
being successful, as 1t will give the
President power to order United States
troops to the scene Of the trouble and
prevent the strikers from Interfering
with the operation of the railroads.
There is one thing that may prevent
the carrying out of this program, as
Congress must make the necessary ap-
preparation to pay the baggage men
and others for the extra work. Unless
II can be shown that the public Will
secure an increased service that Is nee
essary there should be concerted oppo-
sition against such conspiracy. Con-
sidering the risk they run and the
hard work they do, railroad men are
