UP To PRESIDENT
Representative of 1,S0O Men Working
for Rock Island Lines Says En-
plOyes Trust Wilson.
STATES EXECUTIVE is FAIR
Joseph McQuaid, Chairman of Engine
men and Firemen, Gives Views
on Conferences Held.
Wilson was fair to the men. "

Wilson was fair to the men,"
Joseph McQuaid, formerly of Rock
Island, now living in Chicago, general
chairman of the Brotherhood of Fire
men and Enginemen of the Rock Island
system, made this statement in Rock
Island today. Mr.. McQuaid was one
of the members of the committee of
the workmen who conferred with
President Wilson in Washington last
week over the strike situation.
The former Rock Island man said
that the presidents disposition with
relation to controversy between the
railroads and the men was highly
gratifying to the employees, as he
showed that he was fair in the matter.
Mr.. McQuaid went on to say that the
presidents grasp of the situation, his
knowledge of the details of the con-
troversy and the situation of both the
men and the railroads proved amazing,
at least from the standpoint of the
employees.
Confident of President.
I'VE would be willing to leave set
of the controversy solely with
the president if the railroads would be
willing" Mr. McQuaid said. Eve feel
sure that his decision in the matter
would be such that the mems interests
would be we'll cared for"
Mr.. McQuaid's statements bear
weight as he represents 1, 500 men en-
ployed by the Rock Island lines.
