Alarmed because OF the scores OF rob-

NO RAIL STRIKE UNLESS
ANTI-STRIKE BILL PASSES

An ultimatum that wage demands
must be met before the roads 20 back
to private hands.
The last possibility labor leaders and
railroad administration officials regard
as remote. They do not believe that
the four big brotherhoods would sup
port a strike to enforce demands at
this time unless the anti-strike feature
OF the Cummins bill should become
law. The opposition to this proposal
may take the form Of an appeal to
President Wilson to veto it If it is
passed by Congress.
Railroad labor leaders during the
hearings before Congress on the Plumb
plan repeatedly said they would carry
their advocacyof this plan to the bal
lot box, but not strike TO enforce it.

COAL BOARD
Fayors Commission of Z In
stead of 3 to Settle
Strike Dispute
CITES SETTLEMENT
OF HARD COAL STRIFE

The appointment OF a board OF three,
instead Of larger board TO settle the
issues in the soft coal strike, is a mis-
AXE. in the opinion Of former Judge
George Gray, OF this city.. who was a
member OF the board OF seven appoint
ed by President Roosevelt 10 settle the
hard coal strike Of 1902.
Judge Gray was reluctant 10 inject
his personal views INTO the present con
troversy, and consented 10 discuss the
subject only on the theory that what
The committee OF which ne was a mem
Der had learned might be OF value In
this crisis.
His experience would indicate that
lhe bitterness existing today In this
great dispute is not a thing impossible
10 eradicate. Although not complicated
by today's intense radicalism. the feel
ing which existed during the hard coal
strike OF 1902, a. strike which lasted six
months instead OF six weeks, was such
that until President Roosevelt forced
both sides together settlement seemed
hopeless.
And yet out Of the exchange Of ideas,
Judge Gray brought about, the daily
meeting on a common ground as citi-
zens with equal rights and claims to
Justice, sprung SO amicable an under
standing between the two classes that
the agreement entered into then, ana
the feeling OF conciliati0n which was
engendered, had kept peace in the an
