NATIONWIDE STRIKE MAY BE
USED TO GET s-HoUR DAY

A secret circular sent OUT Dy ETGS.
W. G. Lee to the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen tells the men,
bers of that organization not to be-
ieve the stuff they read in newspa-
pers on arbitration.
Press agents of the railroads are
humming around newspaper offices,
and, with their railroad pull, are get
ting in all kinds of wild stories, I'M
fair and untrue, according to Lees
circular, which states:
Our members should disregard all
public statements to the effect that
arbitration is being considered by
either of the organizations parties to
this movement.
ct is evident from press reports
that have ben published that some
interest is endeavoring to cause the
public and our membership to believe
that arbitration will be acceptable.
Nothing of the kind is cOntem-
plated"
This is the first clear-cut official
statement from a brotherhood head
that something else than arbitration
maybe a nationwide stTike-will
be used to win the eight-hOur day
and time and a half for overtime de-
mands of the rail men.
Warren Stone, grand chief of the
engineers, was quoted by the United
Press when the brotherhood de-
mands were sent to the railroad
managers March 20, as saying:
Should the railroads refuse to
grant the demands, arbitration
would be the next logical step"
Railroad managers are expected
to give their reply to the demand of
the workers on April 20. Nobody
has any hopes that the managers will
do anything but reject the demands.
Three brotherhoOds hold cOnVen-
tons in May and June. After those
conventions, the whole matter will be
rushed to an issue of whether the

So far as was revealed in the Public

Part of that technicality lies in the
fact that Frank Hedley. vice-president

another person than the Frank Hedley
who is vice president and general man

neither-both being absorbed in the
