Washington, D. c., Aug. T.
Unionism-shall it survive or per-
ish-this is the issue which dwarfs
all others In the industrial crisis
today. Railroad executives admit
that the seniority question is but a
phase Of the broad problem OF
unionism while strikers frankly
contend that they are fighting to
preserve . right Of organization
which has saved them from arbi-
trary acts and abuses by unfair
employers in the past.
President Harding il he were to
speak his mind would probably re-
veal that as he turns from side to
side in an effort to, bring q COM
promise ON concrete questions like
seniority and labor board rulings
finds always something bigger and
more controlling, namely the issue
Of unionism. I
So bitter is the feeling not only
between the two contending sides
UuI Wllulu luo AduAo VI LuC Ao1A-
road executives themselves thai
all Washington is talking today o.
an alteration which took place
In the Office Of railroad presi'
dent . few days ago in which two
eastern executives and one from
the south were discussing the is
sues of the strike. One eastern
executive known as the jrreconcil

is more friendly to the unions
didn't like. The southerner is re
ported to have become SO impas

third railroad president is said tt
have sympathized with the south
