tbc demand of tbc uniou taan,etars and
nar,jcuIa7lv of the cxlro-s drivers have

declared that flri her conferences were 1se-
les. and defended tbe action of Tho ox
press companies as entirely within their
right
Drivers for the railroad cxpress comma
nies. Attorney Atavcr said. occupv the most
res ponsible positions among the teamsters.
The express drivers are constantly IN
cEirSe Of valuable freight and large sums
Of money. The express managers have
concluded that they cannot AFFORD to re-em-
ploE contract bfeaA"rs.
1t is absurd as II II faiSe. said Attorney
Mayer, for the teansters' representatives
VIII" are gully Of hoycotting to try to turn
th" tables by saving that the express COM
panies are blaeklisting. Each of the ex-
press companies simply refuse to re-engage
ITS own former strikers AS 10 all others,
the express companies say: You viii COM
ana make application in the usual way
Each application will be considered the
same as heretofore. upon the basis of in
dividual qualification
such a method is no more blacklisting
than is the right of the individual TO deter
mine FOR himself whether he viii have eggs
or chous for breakfast
Providing Tor Sbea's successor.
