mittee Of labor leaders at the Hotel
Continental during the afternoon.
The meeting was presided over by
Rudolph Rodeste, president of the
Federated Union. and~was attended by
delegates representing 100 unions.
In many unions, however. this strike
order will have to be submitted to a
referendum, as the officers represent
ing them have no mandatory powers.
The decision of the labor leaders Ia
regarded as the most remarkable in
the annals Of labor disputes. Through
out the discussion and in the state
ment- issued afterwards the word
strike was carefully avoided.
Where non-striking agreements and
contracts exist between employers and
employees, the former will be told that
the men are unable to get to their
work in "scab driven and police pro-
tected cars"

They were enroute home from
Peck, where they had attended
Sunday night church service, and
had gotten about a quarter Of a
mile up on the grade when Mr.
McGee, who was driving the car
with Miss Patterson the only 9TH
er occupant, attempted TO change
from high to low gear and in the
change the lights went out and
before the driver knew il the car
was off the grade. He jumped
and received severe bruises, par
ticularly on his right side. The
young lady remained in the car
and when McGee reached her she
was helpless with a broken arm
and both ankles sprained. He
managed to carry her TO Peck,
where their injuries received inn
mediate attention.
1t is stated that it was fortunate
the accident happened just where
it did as the grade is not high
nor steep there. Had it occurred
a little further up, the result must
have been much more serious
