contended also that the law is incapa'
bic of operation without judicial in
depreciation. takes property without
due process of law and interferes with
liberty of contract
In the closing address for the rail
roads, Mr.. Johnson assailed the hasty
enactment of the legislation by con-
gress Cs well as the conduct of the
brotherhood leaders. He said the act
was again"' ,rhlic and purely for pri-
vate interest.
Ridicul,s Purpose.
Regarding the statement that the
act was passed to prevent strike he
added Have we come TO that? Have
we reached :he period when men who
threaten strike shall be rewarded

ods, but we might as well buy off q

general, began the closing address OF
