an equally optimistic mood.
This business of placing the blame
for the strike has become a sort OF
who killed cock robin game, he
stated. Now it should be recalled that
the Amalgamated Association was re-
snonsible for the strike last year and
for the strike this year. Before the
union appeared there were no strikes.
and the road has been operating for
more than thirty years.
..To recognize the union would be to
render. 1t simply means throwing
nrinciples to the wind. In this case 1t
also would mean more strikes--a strike
every year. in fact-and II also would
mean that this company would not be
fair 10 its loyal men. The union, in ef-
fart asks us to favor the very men
Who have been disloyal to the COM
pany.
This is where we stand. We intend
fighting as long as there IS any energy
bring about a condition by which there
will be no more strikes. We intend
going right on protecting and doing
the many things we have done Tor our
IoraI men. and we do not intend to
recognize the men who simply have
fomented trouble"
Another official of the company stated
that the situation was well in hand.
that all the company wanted was to be
let alone and that the cars were rum
ming SO we'll that any visitor in Wash
inptou would not know there is a
strike unless he was told about it.
