the Presidents action on the bill now
before him. Workers are opposed TO
the 6l per CEN guarantee provided
by the bill and insist that II Is a Gov

Leaders OF the railroad workers to-

proved the bill. but they predicted
that II would cause such unrest
among the workers that sporadic la

A significant factor in the situa-

Federation OF Labor issued to all CEN

pointment OF a campaign committee.
These committees will be appointed
at simultaneous meetings March D.,
and the railroad bill will be one or

The Presidents attitude on the
