OPPOSES PLAN TO MAKE
RAILROAD STRIKE ILLEGAL
Federation of Labor Reused by effort
to Again Subject Wage Farmers
to involuntary Servitude."

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 1S.-The Amer
lean Federation of Labor by unani-
nous vote declared against that pro-
vision of President Wilson's legislative
program making illegal any railroad
strike or lockout prior to the investiga-
ton of the merits of the case" n re-
port of the executive council, which
was adopted, recommended that the
convention take an unequivocal posi-
ton against compulsory institutions
and in favor OF maintenance of the in
stitutions and opportunities for free
DOM"
The convention had before it that
section of the executive councils re-
port dealing with the railroad brother
hoods threatened strike. Referring to
the bill introduced in congress modelled
after the Canadian compulsory inveS-
legations act, for the purpose of pre-
venting strikes and Interruptions of
transportation, the report says:
'This effort to again subject wage
earnerS 20 involuntary servitude has
aroused the determined resistance of
wage earners generally. To their dec
larations against involuntary servitude
tibet proponents of the legislation have
replied that although strike would be
made illegal under the proposed law,
and strikers criminals, yet individual
workers were not deprived of the right
TO quit work.
''It is pure sophistry that only aug
ments the sense of the injustice that
wage earners may feel for industrial
wrongs TO allow them by law the right
of individuals to quit work and TO de-
clare that they cannot agree with fell
low workers that conditions are SO bad
that their only hope of justice and
fair dealing lies in agreeing together
10 quit kork-that is. TO refuse to per-
form their usual tasks, to strike"
Problems of industrial justice and
redress for industrial wrongs, the re-
port concluded. cannot be worked out
by laws.
Chicago, Nov. 17.--Warning that the
attacks on the Adamson law may re-
suit in the eight-hour law being de-
clared unconstitutional, in which event
q railroad strike would tie up the coun-
try, has been sent out by railroads
TO large shippers and manufacturers,
according TO reports in the federal
building. The roads have warned
shippers TO lay in large quantities Of
supplies, predicting that the strike, if
it comes, will be called January 1.
Representatives of railroad labor
unions are known TO have held confer
ences with United States District At
torney Charles f. Clyne. Mr.. Clyne
admitted that the situation is delicate.
