PUBLIC OPINION AND THE STRIKE

TN opinion of many persons Residing on the Del
Peninsula, strike may be perfectly proper
as a means Of settling dispute when but the
employer and empoye concerned. But 1t is diff
matter the opinion OF persons, when the
industry involved is public service and the govern
has undertaken TO protect the employees against
injustice.
The United States created Railroad Labor Board to
hear evidence render wages. it
created an Interstate Commerce Commission TO hear
evidence and render decisions freight passenger
rates Even though they lose and have lost. large
sums money by of the rate decisions the rail-
roads have been compelled abide by the judgment Of
the commission They must keep on rendering SER
vice even II they loss. The individual stock
holder who like retain his interest In road
that does not pay expenses sell out but the road
as a whole must keep rendering service until the
rates further adjusted after further hearing.
The Same principle ought apply to workers the
roads The Railroad Board did what it thought
individual worker right quit II he wanted TO
the workers as body had moral right to quit by
concerted action order 10 tie up transportation.
Unquestionaby they have the legal right strike
long as they do peaceably but public opinion will
never uphold them in taking such concerted action
would interrupt interstate commerce. railroads
quasi-pubuc institutions upon which the public de-
pends not only comfort and convenience but for
life all and purposes and effects,
general strike the railroads after decision by
the Railroad Labor Board is defiance OF the
defiance which the people will not tolerate.
Railroad workers must recognize the difference be-
tween controversy between individuals where there
has been no impartial adjudication and controversy

fully constituted tribunal full testimony
ment have been heard
