WHO WON THE STRIKE?
New York Times.)

The Railway Shipments Bulletin
No. IL processes satisfaction with
the result of the triangular debate
participated in by them, the railways
and the Labor Board. According 70
this authority, the public is wrong
in thinking that the strikers lost
their demand for a national" settle
mont and that work has been resum-
cd according to agreements with in
diyidual railways. The settlement was
really with GROUP of railroads {"
which the Bulletin says will include
so per cent Of all. For the relief of
the uncomfortable fraction of strik.
ers still out Of employment, those GO
ing to work are assessed two DAYS
pay per month "untils all roads will
have seen the light and acquiesced in
the terms Of settlement Besides, we
are informed that 1t was not a strike

against reduction OF wages, but a
lockout by the railways with intent
to deprive the strikers of their senior
ity.
In fact, the strike began month
earlier than the lockout" caused by
the railways declaration that the
men could return at the rate of pay
fixed by the Labor Board. That is
the pay which the roads are giving
and the men are accepting. If any
road interprets the agreement in a
manner satisfactory to the strikers
regarding seniority, it is because the
issue did not arise under the condi-
tions of that particular road. The
railways report that $4,000 shop
men are on their jobs once more and
that traffic conditions are better than
in 1920
Although the strikers claim that
they won the strike, they can scarce
ly claim that they overthrow the
Labor Board. 1t is still doing bust
ness ut the old stand, and is now
hearing classes of railway labor
making the same arguments as were
rejected in the shopmcn's case. The
leaders of these unions resisted
pressure to call strike. Their fol-
lowers accordingly have received
their wages during the months of
the strike and their case will come
to n decision under conditions favor
able to them. Also, these several
classes now arguing before the La
Dor Board are in better standing with
the railways then the national union
which has been displaced by en-
ployecs' organizations on many rail-
ways. The strike was a famous vic
tory, according to Bulletin No. IL,
but Mr.. JEWELS leadership could
hardly survive another of the same
sort.

here this week that George C. Peery

silly to be considered serious. He is,

that he is n "liquor man." Like the

adjourn, he inserted lengthy state

Ninth district, can be defended. 1t is
true, of course, that Congressman Of

privilege may be exercised; that it
may be exercised, especially In the
closing hours of n session, to get in
to record unspoken words which the
author dares not or cares not to
utter publicly on the floor where his
assertions may be made the subject
of challenge and discussion. Now let
this proposition be applied to Mr.
Slemp's action, with view of con-
sidering his motives and the integri-
ty of his charges. Why did he wait
until adjourning time before insert
igg that speech in the record? If he
preferred not to make the speech
why did he not ask leave to print, in
time to afford chance for answer
upon the floor Of the House? If he
was disposed to be fair, if he was
disposed to get nothing into the
Record that was misleading or I'M
