is feasible" stated United States
Senator James P. Clarke, upon his re-
turn to Little Rock, "but l believe in
first investigating to see if it can be
done. The railroad strike bill passed
by the recent congress, does not set
tie the situation-it merely post
pones it and makes conditions worse.
1t is not the bill prepared by the SEN
ate, but one for which the house is re-
sponsible. l voted against it because
| did not think it met the conditions.
The senate bill provided for the relief,
but after an investigation of facts.
"The railroad men affected by this
measure are American citizens, and
as such are entitled to protection. but
no more than the other citizens of the
United States, and while we are legis-
lating for one. we must bear in mind
the rights of the other"
