A MuDoLEo SITUATION.

The little ray of sunshine behind
the dark clouds of the railroad strike,
is the information sent out from
Washington and Chicago, that execu-
tives and workers would likely have
conferences and adjust their differ
enees if this could possibly be done
and, for example. the Florida East
Coast employees had no trouble in
reaching an agreement with execu-
tiTes of this great railroad system,
the result being no strike, no public
inconvenience, no defiance of law, in
fact, it was only a few days after the
great strike was called that settle
ment was made by the terms of which
all parties are satisfied
\ nationwide railway wage scale is
not feasible. Living conditions are
so different in this great big country
that a dollar in one section may be
worth only fifty cents in another. This
leads TO the belief that the separate
settlement will prevail. Each railroad
ofiilia l and each worker knows just
what conditions are in the territory
through which the line traverses and
with no interference from outside
sources, there will be little difficulty
in reaching agreements by which nor
NAL transportation viii be restored
to the country again.
But with the coal strike the situa-
ton is entirely different Operators
both in bituminous and anthracite
fields, have agreed that the President
shall act as arbitrator The workers
absolutely refuse to hear to such
suggestion and President Lewis, of
the Mine Workers union, seems to
DEFY the government, says the mines
shall not be operated unless union la
Dor does the operating and the matter
stands right there.
In the meantime our great transpor-
tation lines are crippled, only to a
slight extent at present to what they
Will be, our industries are closing ev-
cry day for lack of fuel and when win
ter comes the suffering will be great
and especially so in the northern,
ea4tetn and many ,of Fhe western
states as we'll as some few in the
south.
Where is it going to end anyway?

A MENACE TO EUROPE.

WHY THE RAILROAD STRIKE is
NOT SETTLED.

THE informal conferences held by
Chairman Hooper of the Railroad La
Dor Board recently with several rail
way executives and representatives of
the striking shop crafts Unions has
made clear there are five matters up
on which these railway executives
and the labor leaders differ widely,
and which must be settled before the
strike can be terminated says the
Railway Age THE five major points
involved and the positions taken by
the railway executives and the labor
leaders in these conferences are as
follows:
First: Wage decisions OF ne I.abo:
Beard The labor leaders insist tina:
before the men will return to work
the railroads must agree to pay wages
different from those awarded by the
Labor Board. The railway executives
have positively refused to consider
paying any wages except those aware
ed by the board, but have indicated
that the railways will be represented
at any further hearings that the board
may hold, and will accept such modifi-
cations, ii any. in the wage awards
as the board may hold reasonable al
ter hearing.
Second: Rules and working condi-
tions. The labor leaders demand that
the railways agree to notifications OF
the working rules made by the Labor
Board as condition of calling off the
strike. The railway executives have
positively refused to consider this, al
thought indicating that if any mOdifi-
cations of the rules should be mada
by the board after further hearings
they would be accepted. The position
of the railway executives who have
conftrred with Chairman Hooper has
been that for the railways to grant
TO the strikers any rules or wages not
authorized or fixed by the board would
be to concede, in response to the use
of force, more than the employees were
able to secure by peaceful means. For
the railways to let the labor unions
get by force what they could not get
by arbitration as prescribed by law
would be directly to encourage the use
Of force in future labor controversies.
Third: Contracting of work. The
labor leaders still claim that this is
one of the principal matters in con-
troversy. Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation of La
Dor, in an interview published in the
newspapers July IA made the state
ment: The railroads, in ignoring the
boards decision on repair work Goa
tracts, are violating the Transports
ton Act because that Act specifically
provides that such repair work shall
not be let to outside contractors, Mr..
Gompers' statement is entirely false.
Nather the Transportation Act nor
any other .lawedoes or ever did speci;
ffcally j. provide that the railways
shoald not let repair work to outside
contractors Furthermore, all the rail
ways except two which have done con
tracing of the kind against which the
Labor Board has ruled have agreed
to discontinue doing so in compliance

which the fortunes of war have
brought them They would not alter
their views were all the ex-royalties
executed. 1t is their desire for restor-
alton of the old which constitutes the
menace to the new. And there is no
way of removing It save through de-
monstrs;ing the -uip:iority of the
democratic system.

Fourth Boards of adjustment
The labor leaders have succeeded in
making many people believe that the
railways have refused to establish
boards of adjustment as provided by
the Transportation Act The facts
are as follows: The transportation
Act provides (Section 1922 that Rail
road boards of labor adjustment may
be established by agreement between
any carrier, group of carriers, or the
carriers as whole, and any employees
or subordinate officials of the carriers,
or organizations, or group TO organiza-
tions thereof The leaders of the
shop crafts have demanded the estab-
Hshment of national boards of adjust
nrent by the carriers as a whole The
railways have insisted on the estab
lishment of boards of adjustment rep,
resentig only each carrier and is own
employees, but the railway executives
who have conferred with Chairnlss
Hooper have indicated willingness to.
establish regional boards of ad Just
ment with the shop crafts as they
have with the train service employees.
Either local, regional or national
boards of adjustment would be in COM
plete accordance with the Transporta-
tiou Act.
Fifth: Seniority and pension
rights, etc. The labor leaders insist
that all men who have struck shall
be taken back with the same seniori-
ty pension and other rights and priv
ileges which they had before they
struck. Most of the railways individ
ually have publishtd advertisements
and posted notices to the effect that
strikers who did not return to work
within designated periods would lose
all these rights and privileges and
have to return, if they returned at all,
as new men. The men who have stay
ed at work or gone to work during the
strike have prior clair% upon the
companies, the establishment and rec
ognition Of which are based upon
working rules which the striking
unions themselves have got adopted
For the railways to let the strikers
come back with all their old rights
and privileges would be to encourage
still more men to strike when there
is another controversy.
THE public cannot, in its own inter
est, sanction any settlement based on
wages or working conditions except
those established by the Labor Board
1t cannot nationally sanction contin
