Most Of these men had been wholly

ing car employees.
Although the railroad administrator
never has taken Il stand either for or
against extension of employees organ
ization. the unionizing movement is
believed by labor leaders to have been
stimulated by Director McAdooS order
forbidding discrimination because OF
either membership or nonmcmbcrship
in labor organizations.
Disputes arising between railooad
executives and committees of newly
organized unions have been settled to
large extent by the railroad admins

in no cases arising in such Il way has
