The acute situation engendered by the railroad

that are well worthy of more than moments passing

much to win the and who are now 50 lS per cent
worse off financially than before the war are dis

conditions and surroundings.
"Unless wages are increased to meet the IN
creased cost of living it is equal to reduction in
wages and corresponding lowering of the workers
standards
"No wonder, then, that we find workers, non
members of organized labor and even some who are
union men becoming impatient and disregarding the

''No wonder, then, that find workers, non'mcnl-

Looking at these statements by and large, what

Ivy these statements that the workers by organizing
