vote will be taken on acceptance or
rejection Of the rules.
This announcement was officially
made by r. NJ. Jewell, head Of the
Shcp Crafts organizations, at o mass
meeting Of Chicago shopworkerS to-
day.
Belief that stronger fight could
be made if q strike IS called, with
prevervation Of the shopmen's work
ing rules as one Of the goals, led to
the decision to withhold strike call
for ths present, Mr.. Jewell sad He
and other union speakers cou1srled
the men to wait until the entire
wage and rules situation was before
them. rather than rush into strike
which Mr.. Jewell declared the -ail-
road managements desired.
1--WE can make a real fight 2n the
rules proposition when we might not
have the full support of ether
branches Of railway employees ~. a
wage fight alone" Mr.. Jewell said.
"If we want to protect our tast In
iercsts, we must wait until the time
is oppcrtune. But if the Labor Beard
releases all the remaining ruieS TO
be acted upon at one time, then we
rill have the whole matter before US
We will need only one vote-to ac-
cept CT reject tha rules-to determine
VIA ;..'ill be done" :.
This announcement was greeted
with applause ard qucstioners jump
cd ND in ali parts 0f the hal! to press
cor further details. Answering one
question, Mr.. Jewell asserted that
+eh shop crafts would have the CO.
creration Of other organizations. in
Guiding the big four brOtherhoods if
a strike were called and urged his
audience 10 prepare for action.
The strike vote, completed Au-
gust /. was announced rs saowlng. a
constitutional majority against the
wage reduction which went into ef-
feet July /. This was the first, of
ficia3 confirmation of the result wh'ch
mas been rumored for some time.
"When the board announces the
substitute rules. our committee will
take a ballot" Mr.. Jewell said. "lf
tho rules are rot satisfactory and
