The talk g.yen at the State iGange

The subject is likely to be brought

Probably no sensible person be-

them work.

STRAIGHT TALK FROM
ONE OF THE BIG FOUR.

From the New York Sun.
President w. G. Lee, OF the Broth
erhood OF Railway Trainmen, spoke
last week on the AdamsOn law to the
members Of the Central States Con-
ference on Rail and Water Transpor-
tat.on. One paragraph OF his address
revealed an understanding of the pub
lie attitude toward the chaotic con-
ditions he and his associates threat
ened to create last summer in the
transportation industry f the nation,
and 1t is for that reason worthy oil
reproduction:
Both sides (railroad managers and
railroad wOrkers) are suspicious OF
the result of arbitration and are not
in favor Of continuing the present
plan.
But they will have to agree on
something that will. In some degree,
appease public demand that strikes
must not occur on railways or some
one will do Il for them, and, most
Likely. in a way they will not like"
There is in this declaration moth
ing OF the spirit which frequently
characterizes the utterances OF labor
leaders and labor employers. Mr.. Lee
whose devotion 70 more pay for les,
work for the men he represents has
been adequately and frequently
shown, has recogn zed the existence
of a third party to disputes between
the proprietirs and the servants OF
public utilities, and he has not re-
fused to acknowledged it.
As to the inevitable adoption OF a
method to prevent strikes on rail-
ways. we bel eve Mr. Lee is right
and VIC wonder whether he secs clear
ly the heavy responsibility the situs
ton unavoidably imposes on him anS
the association he captains.
