the Peoples Hands

The Cummins railroad bill is now
in conference-in the hands of a
committee composed of members
of both Houses Of Congress.
That bill prohibits railroad strikes
and provides a tribunal for the
adjustment of wage differences.
All citizens interested in the rail-
road problem should write to their
members of the Senate and the
House, telling just exactly what
they think of the strike provision.
All those who think a wage con-
troversy should be settled by
strike or threat of strike, should
say SO. All those who think a
wage adjustment board should be
created and strikes prohibited
should also make their view known
Members of Congress will doubt
less be glad to hear from their
constituents on such an important
question.

A Healthful Reaction

During few months recently
there was an epidemic of announces
ments that federal. state and mu-
nicipal employees were forming
unions and atiliating with the
American Federation of Labor.
The tide has apparently turned.
The treasury section of the WASH
ington Society of Craftsmen. COM
posed of architects, structural en-
gineers, mechanical engineers and
estimators in the office of the gu
pervising architects of the treas
ury. have withdrawn from the
American Federation OF Labor,
according to an announcement
recently made.
= That is one item. A referen-
DUN vote of the National Fedora :
ton Of Postofhce Clerks, taken in
Washington at the convention.
voted against the proposition to
amend the constitution which
would strike out the anti-strike
clause in the constitution. The
concensus of opinion of delegates
was that the postofiice clerks
should not strike, and that strikes
were not the way to adjust grie-
vances.
Another item comes from Knox
VILE, to the effect that the Knox
vile police, the first in the coun-
try to affiliate their organization
with the American Federation Of
Labor. have decided by vote of
six to one to surrender their union
charter.
