ENEMIES OF ~. s. BEHIND STRIKE,
 SAYS U. r. HEAD

omaha. Neb., March .16.-President P. E Calvin of the Union Pacific rail- road today issued the following state ment:
 "In connection with the threat of a general railroad strike at this time the question arises, is some power shrewder and more astute than the brotherhood leaders back of the plan to precipftate transportation tie-up a. this time and establish in this coun- trv a condition which, to the minds of our enemies in Europe, may seem like q revolt against our government?
 q am in hearty sympathy with Elihsa Lee, chairman of the national conference committee of the railways, when he calls attention to the fact that the serious international situa- ton should cause every citizen to put every thought of personal right or de- sire second to his duty to his coun- try
 "The brotherhood leaders have over looked the fact that in many ways a railroad strike in this country would te worth more to our enemies than the winning of many battles. and even if the strike be called off should war he declared, the tie-up would have re- suited in such congestion of freight that weeks and probably months would be required to get the railroads tn normal running condition again srEis would mean that the movement of troops would be serioulys interfered with and the movement of commissary supplies and munitions so s>riausly in

terrupted as to give our enemies a tremendous advantage.
 "A day or two ago an officer of cur navy said: "A tie-up of the rail- reads for even two days would be a serious blow to the national welfare at this critical time We must keep the fleet fully coaled and equipped with. other supplies
 Moreover. we are rushing con- struction. work in the navy and a. two days tie-up of transportation of the materials urgently needed might mean a two. months delay in the emergencs work we have undertaken
 "The rank and file of the railroad for the decision of the United States supreme court as to the constitution ality of the Adamson law. decision which may be handed down almost any day
 Further. the strike vote taken by the men was for specific time and purpose and in the minds of many of the brotherhood men to make use ot the strike vote taken last summer to Feall strike at this time would b. Illegal.
 ."When we are on the verge of a decision respecting the legality of the Adamsor law and when we stand face to face with the probability of war which will tax all our enegries, it seems to me that in speaking of the plans of the brotherhood leaders to |tie up tbe transportation industry of ihe country the people are justified in using a stronger term than ill ad- vised.'
