BROTHERHOOD CHIEFS
WILL ANSWER WILSON

The chiefs of the railroad broth
erhoods last night went on record
as being far from satisfied with
President Wilson's act in signing
the Cummins- Esch railroad bill, and
general protest from the repre-
sentatives OF the rail workers may
be sent to the White House within
the next two days.
Last night the heads of unions
gathered at the headquarters of the
American Federation Of Labor at
Ninth street and Massachusetts ave-
nue., and at an informal" session
discussed the letter from the PresI-
dent and the various phases of the
bill
The following statement was
made by the brotherhood chiefs af-
ter the meeting: We discussed the
Presidents letter and decided to call
a formal meeting at which 1t is
probable that n joint answer will be
drafted setting forth our views.
These have already been clearly de-
fined and the puddle can have no
doubt of our position"
Answer "1thin ~ Hours.
1t is claimed that an answer TO
the Presidents letter will be dis
PATCHED to the White House within
the next forty-eight hours unless
the chiefs seriously disagree as to
what course they will pursue at the
formal meeting.
Warren S. Stone. grand chief of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers. and w. G. Lee. of the Rail-
way Trainmen's Brotherhood, were
not present at the meeting last
night. having returned to Cleveland
several days ago. but are expected
to return to Washington for the
formal conference on the final
course to. be pursued by the heads
of the unions. Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Fedora
ton OF Labor. did not attend
While none who attended the
meeting would state what probable
action would be taken in protest
against the Cummins- -Esch bill they
were unanimous that they were dis
appointed at the Presidents act and
his official communicatiop has not
done much to allay their fears that
the new law will work evil for the
rail employees.
