afternoon meeting, but represen-
tatives Of both groups discussed the
meeting freely in an unofficial way.
Members of the board said that
while the conference had ended
and no immediate plans had been
made it still was possible to hold
further meetings with the labor
men before the date Of the sched-
uled walkout arrives.
1.-The board is determined to go
as far as possible under the law"
one member said, land if it is un-
able to accomplish anything it will
be the fault of law rather than
that OF the board. We are salts
fed that some government agency
will find a solution of the situation
as every possible angle of the mat
ter is undoubtedly being investi-
gated down at Washington"
None of the board members
would indicate an optimistic view
of the days proceedings. They
said that the labor chiefs remained
inf1exible in maintaining that the
present fight was fight for the life
OF their organizations. The diff
culties in the present crisis were
declared by the union men, it was
said, to be entirely the fault Of the
carriers, the brotherhood men TAX
ing the position that many rail-
roads had violated the boards or
ders. They made it clear to the
board, however, members sad.
that they did not consider these
violations the fault Of the board,
but due to the fact that the trans
portation act had no teeth
Members of the board said they
did not consider that the board
had exhausted its powers and that
an executive session would be held
tomorrow when further pro-
cedure would be determined.
Union heads expressed the opin-
ion that if there were any concrete
results Of the conference they lay
in the fact that the minds of the
labor board members were dis
abused of the idea that the unions
were not sincere in calling
strike
When we went in there" said
one chief, 1.-The board seemed to be
of the opinion that we had been

some one to dissUade us from car

ment may be regarded as an outline
of the stand the labor leaders will
take when they appear with the
executives of the railroads before
the labor board. The statement
follows:
with regard to the position of
the employees of the railroads at
this time, we can only say that
their representatives are patiently
awaiting for any developments that
would appear to offer solution of
the situation that confronts us.
1--WE are not now, nor have we
ever been, desirous of being party
to precipitating strike, but when
it is quite apparent that the rail-
roads propose to not only reduce
wages, but to take from those en-
ployees practically all the condl-
tons of service that have been
maintained for many years and
the railroad labo- board is unable
or fails, to give us any assurance
we will be protected from such on
slaughts by the interests that con-
troll the transportation lines of our
country, nothing is left for the en-
ployees but to stand on their con-
stitutional rights to retire from the
service Of these carriers.
I'VE are advised through the
newspapers that the interstate COM
merce commission has authoriZ-
ed considerable reduction in
freight rates. Notwiths, anding the
fact that the wages Of the rail
road employees have been reduced
u per cent since July l, there was
no talk about reduction Of freight
rates until this crisis arose. Now
the railroads are attempting to
gain the sympathy of the public in
this crisis by this late reduction Of
rates
The public never would have
received this reduction with the
consent OF the railroads had the
railroads not been confronted with
this emergency"
