administration circles had not hest

than threat, solely, against the dis
tribution OF necessities at the begin

The strike, II was said. represented
a test primarily OF the efficacy OF the
railroad Labor Board, since 1t would
show whether that tribunal was able
to prevent such situations by adjudI.

SAYS RAIL LABOR BOARD
THREATENED TO USE FORCE

Chicago, Oct. PSI. E. Sheppard,
president of the order of Railway Con-
ductors, said that the unions had de-
cided to call Off the strike because OF
"the growing public opinion that the
strike would be against the Labor
Board, and consequently the govern
ment and not against the railroads.
ut was evident also that the entire
Washington administration was op-
posed to us and that we have had
little chance of gaining our objectives, "
! said Mr. Sheppard.
I'VE called this strike to gain certain
rights to which our men were en-
titled. IL soon became evident, how
ever, that the roads were succeeding
In their misleading propaganda to the
effect that we really would be striking
against the government.
This railroad propaganda found its
| way TO the United States Railroad
Labor Board. This governmental
agency told us that IL would look or
a strike as against II and the govern.
ment and not against the roads, 7ent
that the full force of the government
would be brought to bear against III
llf we walked out. Under such circum
stances there was nothing 70 do bu
to annul our orders for the octobe
so walkout."
