Mr.. Hines had given the strikers
until 6 p. m. Friday for night en-
ployes and E a. m. Saturday for day
employees to return before declaring
their places vacant and filling them.

with Mr.. Hines reported he had told

sought, would have troops sent to
New York to take the strikers
places temporarily.

The French foreign Office explains

crnment surrenders the roads to

tice to this effect has been served

appearing before the board of rail.
way wages and working !condi-
tions.
"If our demands for a living
wage should not be met when the
time approaches for turning back
the railroads to their private own
ers." Mr.. Shea said in testimony
which became public tonight, 1--WE
shall demand as condition prece-
dent to the change the realization
of the fundamental rights of labor
the living wage, the eight-hour day
on all federal controlled roads, time
and one-half for overtime and other
principles to which the government
pledged itself during the war which
now have been made a part of the
treaty of peace and which so far
the railroad administration has
never fulfilled"
r. Means Advance for All
While Mr.. Shea was appearing
on behalf of the fremen only, it has
been recognized generally that
wage increases for any one class oi
railroad employees meant an ad-
vance for all to maintain equality
between the workers. Mr.. Shea said
he anticipated that the failure OF
the governments efforts to reduce
the cost of living, which he frankly
expected, would make necessary
advances in pay fer all workers,
and predicted that by November |
the wage board would be forced to
consider further requests for gen.
eral increases" from railroad en-
p1oyes.
Face to Face With Crisis.
Thus it is the view here trat the
government will be face to face in
few weeks with virtually the same
labor crisis which arose during the
summer. President Wilson then
denied the request of the shopmen
for general increase in pay on the
ground that the vicious circle" oi
rising wages and mounting prices
had to come to an end and that the
country should be given fair
chance at reconstruction after the
war.
How Director General Hines pro-
poses to meet the situation has not
been divulged. 1t is considered GER
tain, however, that if any wage in
creases are given, President Wilson
first will be consulted. Railroad ad-
ministration officials declare the
relations with the union men have
never been so good as at present
and in pointing to the last report
of the Labor department, showing
a decrease Of IS per cent in living
costs in August, intimate that the
pending crisis will be solved in part
by natural economic forces, plus
