 Their interest is an economic one. If the clerks strike freight trac will cease. Thede will be no one to do the clerical work in freight houses. If the company should attempt to use members of other brotherhoods in the work it would involve these brother hoods''
 Real Issue in Grievances.
 Asked what the real issue was in the grievances, MT. Forester said it was the refusal of General Manoger Bardo to, live. up to the agreement with the clerks. MT. Bardo's attitude, he said, had convinced the clerks that the agreement was in his eye "A scrap of paper" He said that MT. Bardo had come to a tentative agree ment on twelve items in the list of grievances but had refused to arbi- trate the remainder, and the clerks have refused to arbitrate a question raised by MT. Bardo which had not previously entered the controversy
 At the conference of the other brotherhoods it was said no state- ment would be issued. Informally members discussed the matter briefly They said that a strike would not have the sympathy of the engineers, conductors. trainmen or other broth erhoods on the system. No wage question was involved. To the other brotherhoods it was said the griev- ances appeared more fancied than real, and MT. Forester had been told that the clerks would not be in their present predicament under the fed eration plan. What are termed grievances" would have been adjust ed in other ways than through a strike.

 At the offices of the railroad com pany it was said that no statement would be issued at this time.
