THE STRIKE ULTlMATUM

T0IlE Railroad Labor Board continues 10
L profit by increasing public confidence
and respect and becomes hourly more secure
IN tho esteem Of the country. while the
leaders of tho rail unions and those cXccu-
tivCS who are frankly aching "for war
70 tho finish now" suffer - loss Of moral sup.
p"%t because Of their Willingness TO leave the
N"bltr out OF their reckoning in the present
emergency.
Tho ultmatum issued by the board ycs-
t"rday provides for n rchCaring Of tho whole
cont ntrOyCrsy between the men and the mana
gers next Wednesday. After that hearing
the ltailrond Labor Board will do again
what II did yesterday. It will carry its case
10 tho people. and It can well afford to be-
liCvc that neither Of the antagonstiC groups
will venture to run counter to its final
recommendations. Nor can either side vcn-
turc 20 disregard the order for a reopcning
Of the discussions to which managers and
men alike are now summoned.
The questions on which the executives and
tho unions appear TO have split are highly
ronnlcN and made difficult for analysis by
Iavman because Of tho tcfhnical nature of
many Of jhc problems from which they
'nrIrG \, time unsScS and tho public is
rnah''d to 500 little more clearly through
IN" logs Of discussion II becomes apparent
thar tho strike is not really intended tn dis
on either side
The controversy AZ bottom is fight for
special advantages sought by the roads and
by the men alike. 1t is clear that there are
some railroad presidents who believe that a
strike with the consequent termination Of
agreements and a reordering of working con-
ditions, ought TO be welcomed now when
workers ont Of work are more numerous
than they are likely to be for n long time
Similarly the unions know that winter Is
coming and that this IS the psychological
tour to press for such special advantages as
they desire.
Bur the right Of unions 70 oxist and the
interior p"oblcm> Of railway organization are
matters that ought 10 be decided according
10 the rule Of patience and reason. and not
bT war that would involve the whole COUn-
try in needless hardship. The Railroad
Labor Board is obviously rcacling to some
r':rh belief as this. II Is steadying force
for order and for the general welfare. The
ucop'o are beginning 10 realize this. And it
