RAIL BLACKLIST
IS ADVOCATED AS
STRIKE PENALTY
Lenroot Compromise Pro-
posal Being Considered
By Conferees on Bill.
OMITS CUMMINS PLAN
Prohibition of Walkout Con-
sidered Doomed to De-
feat in House.

Imposition of a Federal blacklist
against railway employees who go on
strike has been proposed to the con-
ferees on the railroad bill as a sub
stitute for the drastic anti-strikt
provisions adopted in the Cummins
bill.
1t will be impossible to get the
House to agree to the Cummins meas
Ure, the conferees are convinced, and
for this reason the substitute has
been proposed and is now being con-
sidered.
barred for Four Months.
The new provision is to the effect
that when employees of the roads dis
obey the decision of the Wage Ad-
jUstment Board and go on strike.
they shall be barred four months
from employment on any part of the
entire railroad system Of the United
States.
The ptohibition against going on
strike which is carried in the Cum
,nins bill is omitted from the new
proposal. but the restriction against
unemployment for the four-month
period is intended as punishment for
those who refuse to accept wage ad.
Juslment
Another provision of the compro-
mise proposal is that there shall be
formed wage adjustment board. to
be composed of persons who are
4ither employers nor employees. pos
sessing power to examine into all
disputes over wages and hours and
10 make its awards accordingly
Lenroot Offers PInn.
The new plan is the work of Sen
ator Lenroot. OF Wisconsin. who has
Conferred with both the Senate and
House committees on the general
subject OF anti-strike legislation. He
1 Lopposed the Cummins bill in the Sen
because of the sections which
Bhibit strikes under penalty OF
eavy fine and Imprisonment.
The Esch bill. which was passed
by the House. contained no such
anti-strike provisions as are in the
Cummins bill. II is understood,
. however. that a majority of the
HOUSE conferees are inclined to ac-
cept the LenToot proposal, which
does not attempt to keep men from
striking. but would impose a penalty
upon those who do not obey the find
ings of the wage adjustment board.
