According to- articles appearing
! IN ttnetronel fan newspapers special
| writers appear to harbor the belief
that. there Is something in common
between the miners union and the
raiIroaders' brotherhood. They In;
terpret strike talk on the part OF
nationalybodies of this type Of labor
to mean that there is collusion
among them. That appears to- be
their belief in that direction but
how we'll founded it Is remains to
be seen.
