1--WE point to long record of mod
crate and reasonable activity ON behalf
of just and progressive measures. We
remind you that railroad strikes have
been the rarcst form of labor disturb
ance. Then we ask whether You want
to tnkc the risks involved in our over
throw.
Let us assure you, however, that
this overthrow is a long way from an
accomplished fact. Our record Of mod
Grafton and conciliation in this matter
is so clean that we face the threatened
struggle with good conscience and full
courage. We should be false to our
selves, to our families and to the public
If We backed supihely down and per-
mittcd n program of dcbascmcnt to 60
through without hindrancc.
we are aware that this is the worst
possible time for strike. Nothing
makes a strike imminent or possible but
the arbitrary effort Of railroad executives
to force impossible conditions upon the
worker.
The public will not suffer more (nor
so much) as the railway man who has
voted to strike. He has nothing to gain
by victory and everything to lose by Il
defeat. But he will fight with added
confidence because he knows that his
battle is just and in the public in
terCSt.'

ARGENTINE RAlLMEN

Specid! Cable Dispatch. CoDvri0h'. 1921
BuenOs Aires, Oct. 20.-Argentinc
railway employees are closely watching
strike developments in the United
States. If general strike is declared
there they may follow the Americans
example in nm effort to force working
improvements, including pensions,
which they have been demanding un-
successfully. When the American strike
vote is announced, the Argentine rail-
road men will begin balloting on the
attitude which they will assume if their
demands are not met.
The strike spirit here has been shaken
considerably by the failure of several
recent walkouts, including the steve
dores' strike, as a result of the Gov
crnment $ use of troops. The railroad
men no longer want strike merely for
the sake of striking, apparently want
ing the moral support of an American
example. Probably they will not strike

OF RADICAL PERIL

Cleveland, Oct. @G.--(By A. P.)-
Warren :. Stone. president of the
brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
who is attending the Labor Board hear
ing in Chicago. in n statement made
public here today asserts that the
brothcrhbods "arc fighting for their very
existence" and warned that if they are
destroyed radical labor organizations
arc sure to spring up to take their places
within few years or perhaps months. /"
Let me assure you, however, Mr..
Stone said, that this overthrow is a
long way from an accomplished fact"
Mr.. stone also asserted that "the
most powerful force in deciding this
railroad controversy is the force Of pub
lie opinion. and asked il security In
travel furnished by experienced employees
of the hrOtherhoOdS should not be pre-
fcrred to insecurity that would result
il the operation of trains is left to in
experienced men.
Mr.. Stone said the railroads with
characteristic cunning" have made it
appear that the brotherhoods have pre-
cipitatPd the whole trouble" and then
reviews various events leading up to the
authorization Of the strike. Eyasive
answers. he said, were made by the rail-
road executives 70 all queries by the
big Fivc' railroad transportation or
ganizatiOn chiefs concerning retention OF
various rules and working conditions.
Talk Of Smashing Unions
The executives made it plain thnt
they were through with collective bar
gaining, except SO far as tho railway
wage board might be. useful in lending
force and sanction to their designs. In
formally the air was filed with talk that
nov is the time to smash the unions.
