lieved the board had found a legal

Thoroughly 1t was understood

proposed by the public group in
Misunderstanding for acceptance
Of the las Jwage cut and cancellation
of the strike order by the men, with
the roads Immediately reducing
freight rates and temporarily post
poning further wage cuts-would be
the basis of discussion,
In connection with the possibility
of this conference averting a strike
it was pointed out, however, that
many railroads have announced posi-
lively that the public Group proposal
IS impossible, in their opinion, while
few labor leaders have expressed
very warm approval of it.

SELF GOVERNING STILL
REMAINS WITH PEOPLE.
A General strike of all t.

A general strike of all t. ,
way workers of the nat 49, ,,,o,
come as schedule r,o.. 1000. -
De eel '"''- .lringencies. But sooner
OF l"'el all admit, the test of self
de termination between the people of
fhis nation, who are almost entirely
dependent on the rail systems for
existence itself, and the experienced
operatives of railroads must come.
Out of this test will, undoubtedly,
come a vast experience that will be
worth the sacrifices and losses suf-
fered in the experiment.
If the operatives in an iron foun-
dry or a shoe factory strike the pub
lie may, and usually does, look on
with equanimity. People who live in
the neighborhood may take sidese,
but the great public is not nearly
effected. 1t takese for granted that
employers and employees will, some
how or other, settle their dispute
and that the world, meanwhile, will
wag along. A pocket knife or a shoe
famine can be endured a long time.
A strike in a factory is usually an
incident in a contest with employ
ers. 1t is not battle begun against
the people.
A nation wide strike of coal min
ers is different. The coal supply is
limited. Shutting down of all the
mines means shutting down of the
factories, unemployment and suf'
fering. Even that kind of strike, how.
ever, can be endured for time, as
was demonstrated last spring il
England, although English laborers
have. discovered that it was, for them
grievous mistake.
But there can be no strike of rail
road employees that does not fal
with cruel hurt upon the people. A
complete tie-up of transportation
would be to paralyze all industry
1t would be to drag the country sud
denly back to primitive conditions
and might kill hundreds of thousands
of persons in the process.
So we feel very sure in the asser
ton that there may be nationwide
strike, but there will be no complete
tie up in transportation. The people
vii Sc to that.
For all the railroad operatives K
"a n strike and the people to allow
tho trains to remain idle would b}
for them to surrender, not only tn;
railroads, but the country itself t
the railroad brotherhoods.

When cotton can no longer be
