ROADS RETURNED TO "OWNERS;"
DOLLARS, NOT MEN. ARE PROTECTED

WASHINGTON, March 1.-Con-
gress has voted to return the rail
roads to private owners, over the
protest of organized labor farmers
and other groups of citizens who
have urged that these properties be
held for at least two years, that a
test of government management
may be made under normal condi-
tions. The railroad workers have
asked the president to veto the
I bill.
The senate favored return by a
vote of ~ to II, and the house vote
was $50 to $50.
! The President signed the bill and
it became law at 10 o'clock last
night.
The senate anti-strike section
was eliminated, but in it's place was
inserted a provision that trade
unionists declare will destroy all
discipline and encourage employees
to disregard existing areements and
lon established orderly methods Of
procedure.
| This provision recognizes the right
of any 100 employees to initiate a
movement within any recognized
class. 1t is shown that this may
be duplicated by dividing the re-
spective classes by 100 which would
be approximately 10000 groups of
not less than 100 employees pre-
senting requests on 165 trunk lines,
no two of the requests being the
same.
The railroad employees say that
| the failure to designate and treat
with the standard recognized or
ganizations. representing about 95
| per cent of all employees, can be
construed as determination to an
null existing agreements and de-
stroy the organizations which ne
gotiated them.
The workers fears are sustained
by the New York Times, recog-
nized spokesman for big business,
which frankly states that this sec
ton of the bill is intended to stop
| organization of railroad employees.
The bill also provides that where
a trade unionist accepts member
ship on the labor board, the ap-
pointee must give up his rights as
a member of his organization, ex-
cept insurance, pension or other
benefit funds.
In their protest against this pro-
vision, the railroad employees say:
Men in the organized labor move
ment, competent by their long years
of experience and training to deal
with the questions devolving upon
a board of the character contem-
plated, cannot be expected to relin-
quish an association representing
their life's work, to accept a posi-
ton under the provisions above
cited"
The bill guarantees labor against
a reduction of wages until Septem-
ber ! next, but after that date, the
railroad workers declare, neither
the interests of the public or labor
are safeguarded. On the other
hand. capital is guaranteed min
