lnx The Associated Press.l

chicago, Oct. 28.--The an
nouncement from the railroad Ia
Dor board that it would not be in
a position to give positive consider.
alton to any matters that would
change the rules or working condi-
tions or the present scale of wages
FOR a considerable length OF time,
was one of the principal reasons
given as influencing the brother
hoods to call off the strike, accord
ing TO the text Of the resolution
adopted by the brotherhoods last
night. The text was made publie
here today.
The text takes up about eleven
rather closely typewriter pages
and the first half of 1t was devot-
ed TO a history of the recent events
In the controversy.
Cuyler's Statement.
The resolution calls attention TO
the statement by T. Dewitt Cuyle-
before the Joint meeting before the
board on Wednesday that the rail-
roads he represented would neith-
reduce wages nor change working
conditions except by agreement
with their men or by decision or
the labor board. The resolution
then stated that they interpret
the statements made before the
Wednesday meeting to mean that
the short line roads would restore
wages and working conditions In
accordance with the ruling of the
labor board. The resolution then
carries in full the memorandum
adopted by the labor board.
The resolution then says:
Whereas. We interpret the
going memorandum to mean a
number of important things to tho
membership of our organizations
Among these things we mention:
First, it is evident> that the
board has adopted a policy under
which 1t will not be in a position to
give consideration to any applica-
ton affecting the wages of trans-
portation employees for consider
able length Of time.
Second, that 1t does not propose
to take any action on wage apph'
cations affecting any class of en-
ployes until it is definitely known
what working conditions apply.
Third, that the train and engine
service employees will be given full
consideration in view of the haz-
ards, responsibilities and other
conditions peculiar to their en-
ployment."
Docket Is Crowded.
he
crowded condition of the. labor
board docket and the failure of the
carriers and their employees to or
ganize voluntary adjustment
boards, whose work would prevent
numerous cases coming up to. this
board. ....
The resolution then states:
I'VE construe this to mean that
the labor board will lend its sup
port to the organizations in their
efforts to induce the carriers to
speedily organize such adjustment
boards" Ii
Further down the resolution
says: sf
Whereas, 1t has BECOME appar-
ont that the powers In control of
the railways have so arranged con-
ditions az to shift the. burden and
expense of strike to the should
ers of the people; and
Whereas. With this information
before us we feel that a solemn
obligation rests upon us to fore
go the full satisfaction Of our de-
mands rather than to cause loss
and suffering to the people by car
rying on the strike. the expense
and hardships of which would fail
upon the people instead Of upon
the railroads, and
&'Whereas, As result of the &C.
tivities of these organizations since
Julyethe public Is assured of re-
duction in freight and passenger
rates which would not otherwise
have been made.
whereas, We are not unmind-
full of the public concern in the Is
sues involved in the strike. but
point out that the public is not
correctly informed upon these is
sues. The representatives of the
employees have found 1t impossible
