FIREMEN'S BROTHERHOOD
ANNOUNCES IT'S STAND
Notifies Congress 1t VIII Not Observe
Any Anti-Strike Law

Washington. Oct. 26-Tmothy Shea gave
notice to Congress tonight that the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Firemen and
Enginemen. OF which he is acting presi-
dent. would not observe pending anti
strike legislation If enacted into law.
Such an attempt to single out railroad
employees and deprive them of what he
termed the economic right of workers to
strike to prevent injustice must be ac-
cepted he said, in connection with other
information which the railroad brother
hoods have. as fore zone conclusion
that the railroads contemplate general
reduction in wages when the government
surrenders control and desiIe such a
measure to forestall a strike.
IF these Interests CT tAe les !s,ators be-
lieve railroad emp Dyes will unres ,ingly
submit to any such invasion Of their
rights as citizens" Mr.. Sea continued,
they had better eXpel that thought from
their minds because I believe | speak for
locomotive fremen and hos 'ers at least
when ! say that any law which deprives
them Of the rights OF American citizen
ship would not be observed, no, because
this class of American citizens are law
breakers but because suca law won

trary to American institutions"
