Vast Less to Earmsrn.

To the farmers Of the country a gen
eral railroad strike would be a catas.
trophe. only less serious. Cut or from
his market. the farmer could not move
his produce, and the price Of grain and
other staples would be quickly cut In
two while the market value OF more
perishable articles would disappear en-
tirely. The strike would make it ex-
tremely difficult TO harvest crops in
many sections. Il would make the dis
posal OF the crops impossible. and
would inflict losses amounting to hun
dreds Of millions of dollars upon the
farmers Of the country.
The great industrial plants Of the
country would soon be forced TO close
down following the declaration OF a
strike because they could not obtain
supplies needed for their operation. nor
could they ship their finished products
TO market. Their plants would soon
be idle. and millions OF men would be
thrown out of work.
With the income OF practically
every class Of citizens either serl-
ously cut down or suspended entire
ly, merchants would transact little
business. because there would be few
purchasers. In short. the Industrial
activities Of the whole country would
be virtually palsied from the moment
the railroads ceased to operate. The
injury 10 the railway companies and to
the striking employees would be enor-
nous, but 1t would be infnitesimal
compared with the staggering loss that
would fall upon the general public.
