GETTING ONLY STONES.

Rodney F. Johonnot of Bellows Falls,
in q letter to the Boston Herald. says:
Gas one of the plain people, I would
like to know if the government is help
less to prevent a strike in time of peace
no matter how much it might be OPP
posed to general welfare and public
safety
The answer is the Esch railroad bill
which has just passed the house by a
vote of 2e3t,to 49, This bill as re
ported by the committee contained a
provision for the adjustment of dis
putes between railroad employees ana
railroad management and made each
side financially responsible for the dam
age of a strike or lockout ordered be.
fore the question had been considered
by a board of arbitration. This provi-
sion of the bill was eliminated
and replaced by the Anderson amend
ment which continues in effect the pres
ent machinery of the railroads and
presents no way to force dispute
before adjustment boards unless action
is initiated by the railroad unions.
1t has been charged and not denied
that the bill as passed by the house
does not provide arbitration, does not
provide Cancellation unless the labor
unions want it, makes no place for Q
disinterested party on the board of ad
iustment or provide any representa-
ton of the public, does not give tbs
President power to call the board of adj
| iustment into action or even the head:
of railroads which may be seriously af
fected, right to appeal to the board
1t certainly looks as though the gov
eminent did not have the power t,
prevent strike and the congressmel
who voted for this emasculated railroai
| bill did not intend to give it such pow
err The public asked for bread and i
received stone in this matter tn
same as did it when asked for some re
lief from wartime taxes and expenses
Of course the senate may in time pu
more teeth into the railroad bill but n
one can tell when.
