"1-The policy of establishing ma

of pay and working conditions is in
conformity with custom and pre-
and in accordance with the best pub

of boards Of arbitration, and the acts
and recommendations of other official
agencies during the pre-war period.
"2-In other leading industries of

''s-That in Great Britain these
facts have become SO clearly recog-

ers that national agreements are en-
cauraged by the federated industries
and the federation of trades unions as
a whole and the effort is being exert
ed to make them compulsory upon all
employers and employees in a given

"4-That the former railroad ad-
ministration in entering into national

j .nized a tendency which had almost
reached complete development prior
to the war, and which was sanctioned
by enlightened opinion both within

arguments of the railroads are the

and any other member Of the senate
had the same right. He stated further
II there was not some limitations of the
highway system it would never be

ready built their roads would not be
reimbursed as provided for in the
terms of the bill for perhaps nearly Q
century.
