LABORF|GHTS
RAILROAD BILL
Letter Outlining Organizations
Stand to Go to President
From Gompers.

Labor today decided to fight the
Esch- Cummins bill which provides
for regulation of the railroads after
their return to their owners March
1.
While. this decision was being
reached ay American Federation Of
Labor hsabquarters here today, rsiis
road executives were meeting with
Rail Director Hines TO discuss wages
and other problems connected with
return of the roads.
Gompers to Write Wilson.
Labor's opposition to the railroad
bill will be set forth, according to
present plans. In a letter to President
Wilson, signed by Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
Of Labor.
+. This communication was being
framed today at meeting attended
by Gompers. B. NJ. Jewell. head of the
federation's railway department, and
officials of the big railway unions.
The letter itself or separate
statement of labor's attitude may be
made public late today.
Marshal For Battle.
Following publication OF the letter.
labor leaders say they will marshal
their friends I'm Congress for a battle
on the bill which Is to come up in
the House Saturday and in the Senate
next week. Sixteen members of the
House are former labor union men.
and others are known to be against
the Esch- -Cummins measure.
Labor leaders today called the bill
a hodge -podge" despite the fact that
II sets up tribunals for wage dis
putes minus any compulsory feature,
Ono clause, however, provides for
introduction of wage disputes before
these tribunals through petition by
100 "unorganized" employees. This.
leaders say, Is discrimination
against organized labor.
Behind the decision to fight the
Esch- Cummins bill stands labor's de-
sire for a two-year extension of Gov
ernment control. Whether Gompers
and railroad union heads still have
hopes Of accomplishing this in un-
known.
They made known today, however.
that they will carry their fight against
the Esch- -Cummins bill to the Presi-
dent, seeking to have him veto II,
IL IT Is passed by Congress.
The meeting of railroad executives
with Hines today was taken as an
indication that Wilson has no, pres
ent intention OF changing his mind

Teachers Back Thurxton.
Teachers In the public schools favor
Mr.. Thurston as superintendent, ano
look upon the action Of the Board of
Education with disapproval. This
was the indication today after a
canvass had been made of officers OF
the several unions and associations
in the schools to determine just how
Mr.. Thurston Is looked upon by the
faculties.
There is little. IL any. likelihood of
the organizations taking any formal
action, either to approve or disap-
prove Mr.. Thurston as superintendent
Of the local public school system.
No union or association has ever
zone on record as opposed to Mr..
Thurston. 1t was stated today that
the superintendent had always shown
a willingness to cooperate with the
teachers in every way possible.
Miss Adelaide Davis, president OF
the Grade School Principals Assoc a.

every member OF that association
stood behind Mr.. Thurston. She add
