RIKES?-BROTHERHOOD MEN PERTURBED

aVerted, both railway managers and
brotherhood chiefs turned their
efforts today toward more minute
study Of situation they have brought
about.
Railways have surrendered and the
brOtherhOOds are undisputed victors,
but both camps are today trying to
salvage as much as possible from the
work of past few days.

to be demanded by railroads to COM
pensate them for $50,OO0,OOO a year
increased wages.
In the other camp-the brother
hood chiefs action is directed at the
best possible application of Adamson

vent law from legislating out strikes
of employees in "a business of public
