No BIC STRIKE
ON RAIL LINES
Union Chiefs in Meeting at Chi
Cago Avert WaIkout.
RADICALS ARE WON OVER
Leaders Say Rules, and Not Cut in
Pay, Is the Real Issue-Another
Referendum Will Be Taken
Under Agreement.

Chicago, Ju., 4.-The threatened
tieup of the country's transportation
facilities has been averted. There will
be no strike of rail workers.
Railway union leaders who have
been in session here will hold other
conferences. But The strike issue al
ready has been definitely disposed of.
1t was learned that radicals in the
ranks of the union chiefs were won
to conservatism chiefly by a recent
change in complexion of the issue in
volved.
CnOtrary to the popular impression,
a union leader said, the issue is not
and has not been one solely concern
ing the II per cent wage reduction
given effect July L. i'm accordance with
g decision rendered by the United
States railroad labor board. Work
Ing rules constitute more important
factor, he said, and when this became
generally understood the peace sen
timent gained rapidly
Question to !. . to Vote.
When the conferences are finally
concluded the question that brought
1.5OO railroad labor representatives to
Chicago will be sent back to the mem
bership Of such organizations as have
not already taken a referendum vote
on it.
Indications are that the result of
any further voting will be virtually
dictated by the advice of leaders who
are convinced Of the futility of gen.
eral walkOut. 1t certainly will not ia
vOr a strike
Information from an unimpeachabla
source supports these conclusions.
While the railroad boards order has
been q source of serious dissatisfac-
ton to the 100000 railway employees
of the country, union leaders evidently
accepted it as inevitable. They be-
lieve wages will be increased again
when transportation twraffic picks up.
Will Fight on Working Rules.
But the rail unions are intrenched
for last ditch fight On working
rules, union chiefs state. When in
April the labor board issued an or
der directing that the national work
ing agreements in force since the gov
eminent took over the roads should
terminate July l. organized labor lost
one of the hardest-fought battles in
it's history.
1t now develops that this order, and
not the wage reduction decision. Gre
ated the dissatisfaction that started
strike talk,
But last week the railroad labor
board issued an addendum to it's or
der abrogating the national agree
ments. 1t ruled that, inasmuch as no
substitute code had been settled upon
by the railways and their employees,
the national rules, excepting those ap-
plying to pay for overtime, should re-
main in force for an indefinite period.
Thus the rail workers at least tenn
pOrarily retrieved something of what
they had lost. 1t was this fact that
changed the complexion" Of the is
sue.

AS the local organization was
formed under the direction Of

merce, it had never adopted any
concrete set of bylaws, but had
been following the suggestions
of the st. Louis body. President

drafted by himself, which were
tabled for final action at the
next meeting. Particular atten-
tion was called to the first para.
graph of the bylaws, which
states the objects of the organi
zation, which follows:
