RED" radicaIisrn versus labor
conservatism Is described by official
Washington as the basic issue In
the outlaw" railroad strike. The
government makes no attempt to
minimize the seriousness Of the
challenge. The incipient cause Of
the strike Is regarded here as q
flimsy pretext for a renewed effort
upon the part of radicals to over
throw moderate control, not only
In the railwaymen's union, but
throughout the American labor
movement.
There are eminent authorities in
the United States government who
are persuaded that the Reds" are
bent upon provoking a fight to the
finish. II organized labor requires
Federal support in the contest, 1t Is
not likely to be withheld.
Want solution Now.
Opinion is crystallizing in WASH
ington that the issue must be fought
out sooner or later, and many be-
lieve that solution now. rather than
postponement lies in the national
interest.
The present unauthorized and un-
recognized strike cast its SHADOW
before as long ago as war time At
intermittent moments, while the
countrys energies were concentrat-
ed on defeating Germans radicals
within and without the railroad
trade unions attempted to hoist the
with the extreme wing OF the gov
ernment ownership element
AS long as the war lasted II was
Icomparatively easy to suppress their
activities. With the armistice they
became more restive and moro as
sertive.
steel Strike Similar.
The steel strike of last autumn.
which began in much the same way
as the present railroad upneaVai'
was hatched In those circles. John
Fitzpatrick and William z. Foster
represented the radicals on that oc-
casion. and, due rather to extrane-
Gus developments than to any innu
ence of theirs. the Federation OF
Labor eventually supported the
striKe. Unuuestionably the red

leadership during the steel contro-
versy incited the radicals to essay
new and more defiant bid Tor
power on the next suitable occasion.
The Presidents National Indus
trial Conference stated in its recent
report that 1t had refrained from
making recommendations for regu-
Iating the railway situation because
that was at the time the subject or
Conversational action.
Quis Labor Leaders
Although the conference made no
railway recommendations, 1t devot-
ed a great deal Of its time to study
ing railway conditions. Warren S.
stone, grand chief of the 1nterna-
tional Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers. and other railway men
and labor leaders, testified before
the conference at length Samuel
Gompers was in the witness chair
a whole day.
To them. and to virtually every
labor leader who came before them.
