REGULATION FOR EVERYBODY ELSE
APPLIED TO OUR WAGE DEMAND"

'This seems to be the paramount idea
Make the other fellow behave but let us do as
we like. 1t is unnecessary to say that this con-
dition of mind leads to the unrest and dis.
satisfaction that are causing much of the
trouble of this time
"Our railroad employees are made the vict-
inns Of this sort of reasoning. The public re-
alizes what discontinuance of railroad service
means and instead of following the course
usual in arranging its own difficulties so that
everybody may have an even chance in the adj
mstment, it takes the position that railroad
employees must give service emphasis ours
This is the flat decision without qualification.
That wages may not be equal to the cost of
a reasonable living or that service conditions
may have become unbearable do not enter into
the decision: all the public is interested in is
to keep the roads in operation,..
"As fair sample OF this sort of opinion
we quote: = Permanent machinery for
virtually compulsory arbitration of rail
road wage disputes must be provided. The
fact that such machinery existed would
two-thirds settle the problem, for it would
impose steady counterbalance upon the nat.
ural inclnations of the men to take full adj
vantage of their tactical position. Knowing
the question would come before an impartial
tribunal, with power to render binding de-
cision, they would not be likely to make de-
mands that the circumstances did not Justify.
=" knowledge that the men are not now
under such restraint is naturally disturbing
to the public"

ed nor particularly interested in the welfare Of
the men to be forced TO work But analyze it

''The railroad men have not taken full
advantage Of their tactical position. They have
stood by their agreements and paid the price in
reduced living standards, but they cannot keep
it up and it is unfair to demand they be forced
to do so.
GA binding decision reads well, but re-
gardless of how it reads, men cannot be forced
to work against their will unless they are
sentenced which is exactly what the propo-
sition herein quoted means.
''The railroad organizations cannot con-
sent to lose their only means Of securing what
is fair. If they lose that right they lose their
bargaining power and become useless to them
selves; in fact they become menace to their
members" Emphasis ours.)
Excerpt from an article in christian Sol
ence Monitor" June 81, 1919, from it's Cana
dian News Office, regarding action Of brother
hood executives in Winnipeg strike:
"James Murdoch, vice-president Of the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, has left
for Minneapolis and Chicago, where he said,
he proposed to secure members of the organ
ization to take the places Of those trammen
who went out contrary to the agreements Of
the brotherhood. We have membership Of
10000, and can bring 5000 members to Win
nipeg to uphold our pledged agreements if ne

Signed statement issued April 9, 1920, at
Cleveland, Ohio, by chiefs of the four big trans
portation brotherhoods, denouncing yardren's

"The present strike Of men engaged in
switching service was originated in Chicago by

400 Christian Brothers died in battle
of the various countries engaged in the
World War. More than 1000 members
of the family Of st. De La Sale were
in the conflict. AS Germany had ex.
cluded the Brothers from her borders
before the war, that country is not
represented in their roll of honor.
These and other interesting facts
about the Brothers are contained in
the statistics Of the order for 1919,
just issued by the mother house.
The report shows that the Brothers
have 784 houses throughout the world
OF these, 1856 are in the countries, OK
cept Germany, which were in the war.
Ninety-seven are in the United States,
62 in Canada and 96 in Central and
South America. The city having the
largest number Of establishments is
Montreal, with Is. New York and
Vienna have each II. Constantinople
has as many as Philadelphia-seven.
Since the war the new government
has permitted the Christian Brothers
to return to Germany. Seven schools
have been opened in different German
cities. Several Of these have been es
tablished especially for the benefit OF
the orphans of the war.
