NO THREAT OF
STRIKEBACKS
PLUMB PLAN
Author of Tripartite Meas
ure Pleads for Peace Be
tween Railroad Employees
and Capital.
By GLENN z. PLUME

Will labor attempt TO force the
adoption OF the Plumb plan? Will the
railway brotherhoods threaten a gem
eral strike to tie up the transportation
systems of the country. il their bill
for the solution of the railroad prob
lem is not passed.
am constantly asked these cues
tions by men who ought to know
better. To put the case in this fash
ion. is to disclose a lack of knowledge
OF the economic factors involved. and
lack OF understanding of the manner
in which economic pressure develops
In the first place. 1T must be rec
ognixed that there is no connection
between the strike OF the railway
shopmen now in progress of settle
ment. and the Introduction of the Sims
bill in congress by the railway or
ganizations. The shopmen are strik-
ing for higher wages; the issue In this
case is the increase in the cost of liv-
ing. This action is wholly indepen-
dent or the proposal for a constructive
solution Of the railroad problem.
1t was not intended by the brother
hoods that their bill should be intro
duced in congress until next October.
seemed that congress was about to ad-
journ for a summer vacation, and
when it appeared from the action of
the shopmen, that the economic condi-
tion of the country was extremely Sc
rious. 1t was decided to introduce the
bill Immediately
At no time. however. have the rail-
road organizations or any leaders
speaking for them threatened a strike
to support their proposals
So far from being a demand put
forward with the threat of general
strike. the bill introduced in congress
by the organization chiefs was prema-
turely brought forward wholly in the
interests of the public. to prevent, the
possible development of a general
strike
AS for the fact OF the economic
power that rests in the hands of the
railway organizations. that cannot be
denied. They could tie up the trans
portation systems of the county If they
chose. The safety of the country de-
pends in no slight degree upon the
ability and integrity of the crganiza-
tion chiefs.
But our campaign has been conduct
ed with scrupulous regard for he
principles that govern true Ameri-
canism. We demand only full and
unfettered hearing before the bar Of
public opinion.
Under the economic pressure of the
hour. we propose to use every lawful
means to convince the country that
our cause Is a just one. that it is
the country's cause as much as the
cause of labor. and unless it is re-
sarded the country and labor will suf-
fer together in an economic convul-
sion
