The dragon tree of the Canary is

BIG RAIL STRIKE
F|zzLEO CLEAR OUT
FIVE BIG BROTHERHOOD HEADS
JOIN IN RESOLUTION TO
RESCiNO ORDER.
TWO DAYS BEFORE TIME Sci
Decision to Act on Rules First
Also Reason for Act Of
Union Officials.

CHICAGO.-The rail strike sched-
uled for October 80 was averted here
Friday when leaders of the switch
men, trainmen, conductors, engineers
and firemen at a joint meeting adopt
ed resolutions withdrawing authorize
ton of a walkout and officials of the
railroad ~telegraphers' organization an
nOunced they would take similar ac-
ton. These were the only unions
which had authorized a strike.
Vote Unusually Close.
The vote of the individual unions
was unusually close, however, the
firemen particularly holding lengthy
arguments before agreeing to cancel.
lation Of the strike order, the labor
chieftains said. In some of the groups
the ballot was described as "the clos.
est in history on a similar question:
All of the differences were ironed out
by the different unions, however,
and the final showdown found all of
them casting their ballots for mo
strike"
l.. E. Sheppard, president of the
Order of Railway Conductors, said
hat the unions had decided to call
off the strike because of "the grow
ing public opinion that the strike
would be against the labor board and
consequently the government, and not
against the railroads.
1T was evident also that the entire
Washington administration was op.
posed to us and that we had little
chance of gaining our objective" said
Mr.. Sheppard.
I'VE called this strike to gain GER
tain rights to which our men we're
entitled" Mr.. Sheppard stated.
1T soon became apparent, however,
that the roads were succeeding in
their misleading propaganda, to the
effect that W. really would be strik'
ing against the government"
Roads Demand Lower Pay.
CHICAGO.-Railroad heads declared
the nations carriers will go right
ahead with plans to seek new wage
cuts through railroad labor goari
hearings, despite the announcement,
from the unions that their action il
calling off the strike scheduled fol
October 80 had been influenced by
the boards announcement that pa,
reduction petitions for any class will
not be considered until working con
ditions for that class have been set
tied.

credit situation, foreign trade, labor,

~sentially requiring remedy to bring
to fruition the conditions of prosper
ity, which the bankers say are be.
coming more and more realized.
Repeal Of the excess profits tax,
effective for this year., is essential to
an early sterilization Of business con
ditipns, the report Of the resolutions
committee said. To raise the great
revenues for support of government
activities, a well devised sales tax was
suggested as the most satisfactory
method. Opposition to the principle
of American valuation as contained in
the present tariff bill was also voiced.
Urge Government Economy
Economy in government must be
carried out and we approve the budget
law nov in operation as bringing
more business into government" the
report states. I'VE disapprove of all
legislative proposals tending to inject
further government activities into
business, and we believe that many
of the remedies proposed in congress
and designed to meet the present stu
alton will do more harm than good
through a disturbance of normal OPP.
GRAFTON of economic law.
Economy in government demands
elimination of all unnecessary expen-
ditures which would further increase
our national debt or the burden Of
taxation. We are therefore opposed
to the soldiers bonus bill which will
provide compensation without regard
to disability. For our soldiers dis.
abled as a result of the wal we urge
the fullest compensation and care on
the part of the government.
I'm sympathy with every movement
which will promote the thrift and in
dustry of the people, we are never
tneless opposed to the proposed ex
tension of the postal savings system
on the ground that it will not draw
out of hiding any considerable sums
of money. In order to lessen our
great burden of taxation as well as
for humanitarian reasons, we heartily
indorse the conference which has been
called to consider limitation Of arma-
ments. We approve the principles of
the plan for an international credit
organization, known as the Ter Meulen
plan.
