ii in that condition until we get the
proper recognition from those who
can give il to us. Our success depends
entirely upon how we can stop the
transportation service of this country.

iieted the vote may be completed ear
lier, as instructions were given by the
international officers To the unions To
summon meetings If necessary and Ia
telegraph the result of the balloting.
Asking very serious consideration
of the question, the committee told the
unions that any additional general in

ployes, virtually all of the whom have
made or will make demands for more
money. would include the shopmen and
they were told not to forget that a
