RAILROAD STRIKE
LOOMS UP AGAIN
Employees Prepared for a Fight
to the Finish
EFFORT TO AVERT CRISIS
Railroad Administration Officials Init.
mate That The Situation Will Be
Solved In Part BY Natural
Economic Forces.

Washington.-Railroad employees are
prepared for a finish fight with the
railroad administration for increased
improved working conditions before
the Government surrenders the roads
to private control. Unmistakable no
tics to this effect has been served by
Timothy Shea, Of the firemen, appear
ing before the Board Of Railway
Wages and Working Conditions.
"1f our demands for living wage
should not be met when the time ap-
proaches for turning back the rail
roads to their private owners" Mr..
Shea said. I'VE shall demand as a
condition precedent 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 Gov.
ernment pledged itself during the war,
which have now been made part Of
the treaty OF peace, and which so far
the Railroad Administration has never
fulfilled"
"While Mr.. Shea was appearing on
behalf Of the fremen only, it has
been recognized generally that wage
increases for any one class Of rail
road employees meant an advance for
all to maintain equality between the
workers. Furthermore, 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 ad-
vances In pay for all workers, and
predicted that by November l the
wage board would be forced to con-
slider further requests for general
Increases from railroad employees.
Thus 1t Is the view here that the
Government, as operator of the rail
transportation, will be face to face
in few weeks with virtually the
same labor crisis which arose dur
ing the summer. At that time, Presi-
dent Wilson denied the request of the
shopmen for general increase In
circle Of 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 period.
How Director General Hines and his
assistants propose to meet the situa
tion has not been divulged. 1t is con.
sidered certain, however, that if any
wage advances are given, President
Wilson first will be consulted. Rail-
road administration 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 the de-
crease of Is per cent, in living costs
in August, intimate that the impend-
ing crisis will be solved in part by
natural economic forces, plus Attorney
General Palmer's efforts to take the
imitation out of prices.
