An official OF one OF the Liverpool

"A liners cellar when. filled for a
trip frequently contains 60, ,006 not

"If the ruling becomes effective as

be the sufferer in the end. In other

shrouded in secrecy, resumed today
deliberations over the sitaution
caused by the shopmen's strike,
This situation has to be met by
the brotherhood chiefs:
1-They must see that the men
comply with contracts with the
railroads. -,
2-They must give to the strik-

cial support possible under the con-
tracts with the railroads.
3-The report of the Interstate

are badly deteriorated offers added
excuse for firemen and engineers
to- stop work under contention that
their lives are endangered.
