By EDWARD W. PlcKARD.

If the railway brotherhoods carry
out their threat to go on strike on
October 30. the walk-out will not be
general. Most, if not all, Of the eleven
unions affiliated with the big tve'
brotherhoods will refuse to 20 ont
with the lstter. The railway mana
gers with the aid Of loyal employees,
pensioners and volunteers, will be
able to give the country at least lin
tied service. The sympathy of the
American public will not be with the
strikers. For all these reasons, the
strike will be virtually a failure.
Such was the prediction of compe-
tent and unbiased Observers of the
critical situation Of last week.
Spurred by the administration TO
quick and decisive action, the railway
labor board went to Chicago and
called the heads Of the brotherhoods
into conference with It there The
proceedings were secret, and the
union chiefs were given the Oppor-
tunity to talk frankly and freely Be
fore leaving Washington the public
group" of the board consulted at
length with President Harding and
with the members Of the interstate
commerce commission, and it was Civ
en- out that the policy sanctioned by
the administration included these main
points:
/. Immediate suspension of the
strike order pending further negotia-
lions looking to a settlement
2. Use of the brotherhoods lnfu-
ence to forestail strike orders by any
Of tbe other labor organizations now
considering a walkout.
3. Proposal Of a platform on which
final settlement might be reached. to
include these points, with the proyiso
that there will be no strike:
(a) Withdrawal for a definite peri
cd of the proposed request by the
roads for the further 10 per cent wage
decreases.
% Immediate reduction of freight
rates by the roads.
A program based on these was
placed before the union chiefs, hut it
was noted that it left out Of consid-
Grafton the two points which are actu-
ally at the bottom Of the strike threat.
These are the question Of time, and
the cancellation Of the existing rules
and working conditions Ostensibiy
the strike. if il comes, viii be on the
matter of wage reductions, but the
two points mentioned are the real bone
Of contention. On this fact is based
the prediction that the allied unions
will not support the brotherhoods in
walk-out for the big five leaders
have refused to give The other unions
any pledge that they would not cali
off the strike Of the brotherhood men
If they obtained working concessions.
The other unions realize thar they
might very likely be left to hold the
bag
The final attitude Of these so-callei
STANDARD unions was to be deter
mined at series OF conferences which
began fin Chicago Wednesday and con-
tinued during the rest Of the week.
Railway executives we're NOT talking
much beyond saying that they would
do their utmost 10 move Baeessit'es..
But, II course, they have been prsFaF-
ing for some time to combat de strike.

the roads are Offering jobs to men
who win take the places of strikers.
The managers believe the loyal EN-
Iioyees and pensioners who viii help
them out in the crisis will be numer-
Gus.
Actually, the strike threat is direct
ed, not against the railways, but
against the railway labor board and
its rulings, and this fact has aroused
the administration to the determina-
ton that the orders of the board
shall not be fiouted by either the en-
ployees or the roads. The trouble is
that the Cummins- ESch act does not
provide penalties or give the board
powers to enforce its own findings.
This defect came prominently to the
fore last week when the board, in adj
dition to its other work in Chicago,
called The Pennsylvania railroad onto
the carpet for failing to call new
election of shop crafts representa-
tives as instructed
Strike or no strike, 1t appears that
one certain result of the affair viii
be the reduction Of freight rates This
viii be highly gratifying to the Amer
lean people, who are convinced it is
necessary 10 the revival Of business
prosperity, and are not at all sure
that the unions are wrong when they
assert that the railroads are making
plenty Of money, despite their walls.
