REPUBLICANS FOR CAN'T STRIKE PLANK
 IN THE PLATFORM
To Start on Federal Employees and Wind Up on Private
 Works. -..

The Republican party of Big Busi- ness, Wall Street, manufacturing and other corporation interests, Is at last to disclose its real feeling toward the workers of the country, according to a report emanating from the advisory committee which is assisting in the preparation of the party platform to be adopted at the Chicago convention next week. 1.-the platform IS to contain a plank that vii forbid all strikes by Federal employees and which plank, 1t can be surmised will contain enough hidden Etheopians to be invoked against strikes of all workers if the Republicans get into power and sue ceed in putting 1t over.
 According to the report of the ad- visory committee, strikes can be legltl- mately forbidden among government employees, SO they are going to make them the base of the proposed law. Then God help the other workers as the same committee also favors the adop- ton of a law like the Kansas Industrial Law. It is even intimated that em- ployes of private corporations can also be controlled, the report of the com mittee being partly as follows:
 Insofar as public utilities are con- cerned, there appears to be division of opinion as to whether strikes should be made illegal, and the decisions of commissions or tribunals be made legally binding, or whether provision should be made for thorough inquiry by boards, or commissions and the force of public opinion be relied on to en- force their decisions, strikes being for bidden until after the decisions have been rendered.
 Insofar as private ernp1oyments are concerned, while many hold that there is no need for government action, the majority favor the creation of some form of tribunal or commission com posed of representatives of employers, employees and the public, to whom dis putes may be voluntarily referred, whose decisions, unless unanimous, would not be binding or carry weight, save insofar as they enlisted the force of public opinion"
 Goodwill inside the plant is more valuable than all machinery to date for settlement of disputes between labor and capital, the report asserted. This cannot be directly developed by legisla- ton, but sympathetic attitude by the government would help to make con- ditions favorable for its development, it was added.

TROLLEYMEN REJECT

(Continued from First Page) may be taken as a last resort This pro- vision in the constitution is expressly to protect the public from inconven4 fence and will be carried through to the letter, talk of sympathetic strike to help the company kill the jitney com petition, notwithstanding.
 While the company agreed to in- crease pay 10 cents an hour 1t would not concede a flat rate but insisted on retaining the sliding scale by which a man must work for the company six years before attaining the maximum wage. This the men claim unfair as i'll a month or two man may be as much If not more competent and effic- tent than the older employees.
 Neither did the proposal guarantee the men, except the new extras, a stipu- lated weeks work and pay, the working time now depending on the runs, some of which are shorter than others and making some runs therefore less valu- able than others. The men sought basic workday so they. would have a. guarantee of a minimum wage every pay day but this also the company did not feel inclined to grant. The extra men were assured of 10 hour day by reporting at all roll calls which is sheltered at by the men because if an extra man now reports at all roll calls, he can knock out enough runs to make $40 or more week and not need any flat guarantee of $21 a week as offered by the company.
 Another grievance of the men which Is not settled to their satisfaction is the practice of calling a man up 'on the o,, plaints of unknown" persons. The trolleymen want these complaints made i'll writing and the men tried by a board of their own in conjunction with the company's representatives, they claiming that III the past men have been unwarrantably censured in public and even laid off without having had a pro- per chance to defend themselves. The company made some concessions along that line but declined representatives of the men having anything to do with 1t. Right of appeal was, however, granted so the man aggrieved could take his case even to the directors, if he felt like it and wanted to wait long enough to do so.
 International officers from Detroit were brought on here and advised the men to accept the agreement as pro- posed. The men had their own ideas about it,. however, and emphatically turned the entire thing down.
 The company's, offer, which is made in the form of 61 distinct paragraphs and covers 10 closely typed pages, reads in part as to wages:
 The following wage scale and work ing conditions are made effective as of June l, 1920, for period of one year from said June l and supersede all previous working conditions inconsist- ent herewith:
