the future they could not strike rath-l
er than accept and carry out decisions
OF the board
With respect to seniority there
still seems to be confusion in many
peoples minds as to exactly what the
President originally proposed. He pro-
posed simply that the employees who
struck DO taken back with the Same
seniority rights that they had before
they struck.
This meant that strikers who form
erly had seniority over employees who
stayed at work would recover their
seniority over these men and that they
would be given seniority over all new
men who have been employed since
the strike began. This would mean that
pactically every new man the railways
have employed would have TO be dis
charged. 1t would mean that cvery
employe who was low on the seniori-
ty list and who stayed Mt work would
be put back in his former position on
the seniority list where he would be
laid OFF in periods Of business depres-
sion. while men who struck would be
given regular employment.
| The tendency that this would have
In future both to encourage strikes
and to make II more difficult In case
OF strikes for the railways to get mer
to stay at work, or TO enter their SER
vice as new men, is too obvious II

THE great wrong which would bt

or gone TO work during the strike, and
in helping to maintain operation o,
the railroads have incurred great per
sonal risk TO themselves and their fam
lies, by sacrificing seniority rights
which they have thus earned. has no
been sufficiently considered. Further
more the fact that the personal honor

Involved has received hardly any con
sideration.
Under the second plan proposed
by the President the entire question

BELLS OF LIMERICK

the most beautiful peals OF bells in the

young workman, who, after the toll OF

years war swept across that part Of tia

and I reply with the sad truth that
only in time Of stress is freedom oe
utterance IN danger No one questions
II in calm days, because II is not n needsd.
And the reverse Is true also; only
when free utterance Is suppressed Is it

how you may sugar coat Il with exped-
