FIGHT ON RED RA TED
REOR GA n ia 7 IN BILL

Washington, Feb. 9o.-Union labor
led 10y officers of the American Fed
Grafton of labor and the railroad
hrothorhoods today had we'll under
way its fight in congress against
the adoption of the re-drafted rail-
road reorani2ation bill Besides the
memorial provided by presidents Of
IL railways and presented at an
all day conference yesterday. and
which was addressed to congress as
a whole. individual congressman were
grams from union leaders generally
protesting against enactment of the
hlll into law.
The plan of the unions. it was
shown. provide first for "a determined
fight IN the house and senate. II
defeated there the controversy will
be taken direct to President Wilson
IN the hope OF vote. The opposi-
tiou of the unions. as shown i'm the
memorial to congress declaring the Re-
drafted bill. to be destructive OF the
employees constitutional privileges and
liberties is based chiefly on the meth
od proposed for handling wage and
labor disputes.
The provision for Il fixed financial
return TO holders Of railroads also
is attacked, the memorial holding
that the provisions would constitute
AN abandonment Of government foi
the common good, the establishment
of government for private interest
special privilege and class benefit
Principal objection To the labor ar
bitration boards. including the perma
merit federal board Of nine members
might be SO composed as to olminat,
labor from representation. The meth
oi proposed of adjudicating labor dis
putes by groups Of not less than l0(
employees, the leaders declared vout
destroy all discipline and lead tC
chaos. because they would encourage
tine workers TO disregard existing
agreements and long established or
Derby methods Of procedure.
