Washington, d. G., Feb 23.-Rail-
road labor is not satisfied with the
way things are going with respect to
its wage demands. This was indicated
in unmstakable manner in confer.
ences here today of union officials
and general committeeman, called to
pass on the Presidents settlement
proposal. Passage Of the railroad
bill by the Senate tonight only served
to add more bitterness to the talk of
the union workers.
Arrival of scores of committee
chairmen--the union leaders closest to
the rank and file of their membership
brought out strike talk. The higher
officers were inclined to discount this
evidence of the workers feeling. but
hotel lobbics, where the delegates
were quartered, buzzed with the posi-
bilitics of the situation There were
indications that the union heads who
have dealt with Director General
Hines in the controversy, were wor-
red lest all that has been accomplish
ed might be wrecked Committee
chairmcn spoke frankly of the scnt-
ment in the local groups, describing
it thus:
"Their temper is not such as to
warrant US in being optimistic"
Union spokesmen believed that
there was no way to avoid direct APP
peal to the President to veto the
Cummins- Esch measure. They de-
clarcd it must be done to satisfy the
workers who have not had a "close
up Of the situation. But as to hope
that the legislation might yet be
kicked overheard, there was little cx-
preston. Labor's appeal to Congress
having been rebutted, some leaders
were said to have assumed the atti-
tude that the legislators were try
ing to sec how far they can go by
nagging us"
