further directed that neither Mrs.
Herman nor her husband discuss the

NATIONAL AGREEMENTS

CONSERVATIVES OF the various branches
Of their employees entirely independent

The efforts to enforce upon all OF the
railroads OF the United States uniform
, conditions. regardless OF the dinereht

.nployed, different activities and direr-
en-, degrees OF danger as well az 'ne
differences in the cost OF living. ana IN

we're AS unsatisfactory 10 the employees
as they were to the employers.
II goes without say that the duties
OF the railroad swiichmen, for instance
In the yards of New York or Jersey
City. are Infinitely more arduous and
dangerous. and require higher degree
OF technical knowledge and skill than
ike duties performed by railroad
laborer in some country town. Yet
under the national agreements, these
men we're Classified on the same basis.
II also goes without saying that the
costs OF living in country town and
IN the New York City territory are
widely apart. and the profits Of rail-
roads serving a country town and those
railroads serving the metropolis district
might Do widely at variance.
The national agreements, which were
accepted by the McAdoo administration
during the war period. were ono OF the
great causes OF irritation TO the railroad
management, and were OF lit;le prac,i-
cal advantage to the railroad workers.

national agreements step towards uni
rormlty and common organization.
As matter OF fact. intelligent labor
IN the United States has generally
recognized the dfferentials between
trades and between local conditions. The
success OF the American Federation OF
Labor has been largely due to the fact
that 4, has encouraged the organiza-

stantly the one great union idea. In
other words, II has sought 10 create a
flexible and plant organization. which
would meet local conditions. and parti-
cularly. adjust itself 70 trade demands
and on that account, At least, II has
more nearly met and accommodated 1t
self 10 the needs OF American industry.
