the railroads and with the government in
performing the usual and regular work
covered by contracts made by the au-
thorized committees of the brotherhood.
tFl'he question of increased wages had
nothing TO do with the present trouble,
but the removal Of John Grunau from
position as yard conductor was the cause
Of few switchmen in the Chicago. Mil
waukec, and 81. Paul railroad yard who
were members Of renegade organization
headed by GrInau, quitting work. The
question of increased wages was later
injected for the purpose of playing upon
the sympathics OF other train and yard
men who naturally feel that the Fedora
Railroad Administration did not grant fan
and equitable wages during government
control.
''Nice aPresidents Whitney and FarqIr
harson Of the Brotherhood of Trainmen
are on the ground and have full charge
of the situation and all loyal members
OF the Brotherhood who believe IN protect
ing agreements made by their organiza-
tion and who believe in law and order

pared for presentation to the Federal
