TRAINNEN WON'T Be
POLITICAL PAWNS
Burbank Says Many Men
Are Suspicious of the
AdamSon Law
WORKERS WILL
SUPPORT HUGHES

NEW YORK. Oct. 23.-Members OF
the various railroad brotherhoods in
many States are resenting the efforts
of their national officers TO deliver
their votes to President Wilson be-
cause of his support Of the Adamson
law. They feel that their officers are
attempting to make them mere pawns
on the political checkerbOard and they
refuse to be deceived.
That was the statement made yester-
day by Arthur d. Burbank, chairman
OF the legislative board Of the Brother
hood Of Roilroad Trainmen in Illinois.
Mr.. Burbank, whose duties require him
to visit various lodges OF his Organiza-
ton. declared there was a decided
trend toward Hughes among railroad
men and that it daily is growing
IstrOnger. as the men have opportunity
to study and discuss the sO-called
eight-hour law.
The sentiment in favor of Wilson is
disappearing, said Mr.. Burbank, and
the evident attempt of the grand lodge
officers to influence the membership is
reacting. The railroad men as a class.
are pretty independent I'm politics and
do not want their officers to tell them
how they should vote. The men who
have always been Democrats are
shouting a little louder than usual in
this campaign. but the men who have
always been Republicans have not
changed and are going to vote for
Hughes.
"As TO the Adamson law, none OF
our members understand it and all are
more or less suspicious of IT," said Mr..
| Burbank. MANY feel that in depart
/ ing from the established custom Of
I Joint conferences and direct wage ad-
| iustments the brotherhoods have made
| a great mistake. / have found many
of our members who are more ready
| to criticize than to praise our national
officers for dragging them into the
political arena. The brotherhoOds
have made substantial progress in the
/ last ten years through their economic
forces, and the members feel that all
/ that work has been lost and that
wages and working conditions are
now merely political issues.
"In the last two weeks / have no.
ticed a decided change In sentiment,
especially in Illinois. Our members
have not forgotten the conditions
which prevailed two years ago. when
] train crews we're laid of by the hun
dreds and thousands. They under
stand that the present prosperity is
temporary, due entirely to the Euro
pean war. and they want to see their
bread and butter placed on a firmer
foundation. They are afraid that the
reelection of Wilson and Demo
cratic Congress will result in a return
TO the deplorable conditions of two
years ago before the war gave tenn
porary stimulus 10 industry.
"A recent statement issued by the
president of one Of the brotherhoods
to the effect that men who do not sup
port Wilson are to be put I'm the class
with men who would stand by the rail-
roads in a strike. has caused a tre-
mendous revulsion OF feeling and
