White, makes II plain that employees
OF interstate carriers, because OF the
public character OF the railroads, are
affected with a public interest and
that they have no more right TO
strike and tie up the commerce Of the
country than have soldiers and
sailors.
This same opinion was recently ex-
pressed by Judge Clements, a mem-
ber OF the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, when he said that railroad
employees are affected with q public
interest that they can no more ignore
than can the carriers.
The same idea was expressed by
President Wilson IN a speech he made
at Shadow Lawn during the campaign,
when he said: America 10 never going
to say TO any individual you must
work whether you want to or not but
It is privileged to say to an orgsniza-
tion Of persons. You must not inter
