which suffered revocation Of charter during
1920 also, although, l. like a good many others
took no part In the strike.
Thanking you in advance, would ask you
TO publish this In ts entirety In your barometer
Of Public Opinion In order 20 put a misguided
public right.
The following ls taken from the report OF
President Lee to the Toronto convention shows
cUuciusiyciy that the discipline enforced by the
brotherhood OF Railroad Trainmen was very
severe. The members OF the railroad organiza-
tions participating in the Illegal strike OF 1920
lost not only their membership but also their
insurance.
quote from this report copies Of letters re-
ceived from the. officers OF the different trans
nortation organizations showing that the dscp-
line handed out to their members was lust as
severe as In our own organization:

This shows conclusvely that the Brotherhood
of Railroad Tralnmen protects it's contracts with
all the power at Its command. and has never
been known 20 have violated any provision OF
an agreement made with the railroad COM
panies 1t has never hesltated To discipline it's
members who have been found guilty of violat-
ing it's laws
The attitude OF the brotherhood during the
present strike Is evidence sufficient to prove
that members are required 70 live up to the
laws Of the organization take the
quqences for any act on their part In violation
of the constitution. They have been instructed
by President Lee that there were certain laws
10 he obeyed before they could leave the service
and the they must be lived up 10 In their en-
tirety. President Lee has advised our members
at Roodhouse Ill.,, that they must show cause
why their charter should not be revoked be-
cause Of having left the service OF the Chicago
y Alton CO. without complying with the laws
