FORCING BIG OVERTIME.
Head of Brotherhood Charges That
Railroads Are Delaying Trains.

Head of Brotherhood Charges That
Railroads Are Delaying Trains.
W. G. Lee, chief of the Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen, In recent state
ment charges that the railroads Of the
country are permitting delays to trains
and overtime which would not ord1-
narily be permitted in order to prove
the enormous expense that would fol-
low obedience to the Adamson law.
The statement says:
"The railways enjoined the govern
ment from enforcing the Adamson law.
Additional litigation will hereafter
very likely be started by the railways
on the plea of determining to whom
does the law apply or how does 1t APP
ply?
Already the railroads are permitting
delays to trains and overtime that
would not be permitted under normal
conditions.
Recall, If you can, an instance
where labor organizations have at
tempted to enjoin the government from
enforcing federal statute. Such or.
CARNATIONS are law abiding instead Of
lawbreakers
Remember, the railways are not en-.
joining the brotherhoods, but are en-
joining the government.
"The question is, after the supreme
court has said the law is or is not con-
stitutional, Shall the employees whom
President Wilson and congress de-
clared should have the eight hour basic
workday forget their request and con-
tinue to waltz"

already been sent home suffering
from it. We are preparing for the
