promising in his belief that the trade
union movement was the only hope for
better conditions and fuller life for
those who toll.

New York.-George H. Sines, vice
president oi the Brotherhood OF Rail
road Irainmen, i'll a statement made
here, said a railroad strike is a remote
possibility, no matter what happens to
the Adamson Eight-Hour Law. The
brotherhood leaders, he declared, have
not even considered calling strike as
an answer to the injunction proceedings
by the railroads.
Il don't think there is anything in
the constitution OF any OF the brother
hoods allowing a strike during injunc-
ton proceedings" said Mr. Sines. I'll
the Supreme Court decides the Adam
son Law is unconstitutional the broth

were before the law was passed.

revive the strike vote taken by the
brotherhoods. In all probability, al
though | can not say for a certainty
that it is so, the unions would have to
take new vote on a strike

WOMEN WANT TO ASSIST.

Hazleton, Pa.-There is a movement
on foot 20 organize womens auXili-
airy OF the United Mine Workers OF
America, and quite number OF infiu-
ential women in District No. Q are said
to be interested in furthering the pro
iect. The women seem to think that
they can be OF great benefit to the mine
workers organization in solving veXed
problems that so frequently come up,
and in which they are vitality interested
because it affects the home, themselves
and their children, and again, because
such an organization as they propose
would give the social touch that now
seems to be lacking.

tioi,Gl labor relations was submitted to-
day to the convention of the American
Federation of Labor by the Executive
Council, which asked and received au-
thority to continue its efforts in behalf
of AN international labor conference
after the war.
Among the suggestions of means to
make effective the purpose of the Lea
que Tor Peace contained in the report
was one that the nations that band to-
gether for peace should make use of
both economic and military forces
against signatory nation which might
go to war or engage in hostilities against
another member of the league without
having submitted its grievance in the
proper way provided by the agreement
The convention today adopted a reso-
luton instructing the federation officers
to deputize an organizer to proceed to
the canal zone to investigate conditions
affecting employees there. 1t is stated the
employees as a whole have received no
general increase in wages since work be-
gan on the canal, and that there are
other conditions relative to aliens doing
work that rightfully belongs to me-
chanics.

addresses at to-day's session, including

by the railroad men if the law is not
made effective, he asked the newspaper
men why there should not be strike if
the law is not enforced.
Vice Presidents Duncan and O'Con-
