EMPLOYEES
ORGANIZE

According to reports reaching labor
leaders at Washington, nearly 100000
arilroad employees, or one-fourtn Of
the entire number of railroad men,
have effected some sort Of organiza-
ton in recent months. Most of these
men had been wholly unorganized pre-
viously or had belonged to trades
which were only partially organized.
Many local organizations, it was said.
now exist secretly and are known to
railroad executives only through com
mittees which claim TO represent the
men though not as union spokesmen.
A large proportion of the recently
organized employees are clerks. main
tenance Of way men. shop men and
dining car employees. Although the
railroad administration never has
taken stand either for or against ex-
tension of employees organizations.
