II they are going to work. they must
work with union men.
But the union men will not 60
back as new men, And the rail-
roads refuse 20 take them back as
"old men" Therefore, under pri-
vate control there Is no way out.
Meanwhile the people in the great
West who want to reap and to move
their crops and who want at least to
have a little coal and a little warmth
in their kitchen stoves during this
fall and during this winter. are now
beginning to make their voices heard
in Washington.
They are about to perish, and they
do not much care who or what res
cues. II only they can get rescued.
Washington, having failed to res
cue them by conciliation Of the rail-
roads and the strikers, Is now face
to face with rescuing them by rail
road Federal control.
But the strikers say-and they
also mean it-that they will not 81
back to work on only part of the
railroads of the country. They will
60 back to work on all Of the rail-
roads or on none.
Therefore. the prospect of a Fed.
eral control of the railroads today
at Washington Is a prospect Of Il
control extended to include the Penn.
sylvania equally with the Santa Fc.
Meanwhile the suspicion Is grow
ing here that in fact the majority OF
the railroads will pretty soon them
selves be wanting federal control.
They will be wanting II because
under Federal control they could re.
pair all their bad locomotives and all
their bad cars under the inevitable
Federal guarantee Of all expenses
The railroads AS a whole are now
in possession Of great multitudes OF
locomotives and of cars which have
fallen into bad condition because Of
the strike. To repair all tbs rolling
stock will be enormously expensive.
II Federal control comes, then this
expense, will be borne by the tax.
payer.
When the railroad executives 70.

they were as well aware as they
are now that In the end they cannot
lose. II worst comes to worst they
can fall into the arms OF the Gov.
ernment. and the Government will

wounds,
Adding these facts together,
Washington begins today to suspect
that Federal control may very soon
become an instant political problem.
Prophecies are made that II viii

CHICAGO, Aug. ia nation. wide

which includes ministers, priests and

A national conference on plans will

capacity of the WILLIAM HARD.
city OF Washington to settle this
strike by conciliation.
1. The emergence Of the prospect
that the wheat fields and corn
fields and pasture lands and kitchen
stoves of the West and Northwest
will settle II by forcing Federal
control of the whole American
railroad system.
So today It looks like the final part.
ing of the ways.
As for point three, the City Of
Washington il not at present pro-
ducing any notable new ideas for
bringing the ways Of the executives
and strikers together. Washington
as a conciliator regards itself toda y
as being at the end of it's rope. The
President Is likely today to hear
some of his advisers saying to him:
This strike cannot be settled by
Cancellation"
The prospect which then opens up
is that the collapse Of the railroads
in the West will force a general Fed
eral control of all American railroads.
Mr.. Jewett, of the Northwest Grain
Growers Association, is in town pre-.
senting the plight of the wheat
farmers Of the Northwest.
As to points one and two the sit
uation is simply this:
The railroad executives-unless all
advance reports are wrong-win tell
the President that they want the
strikers to go back as new men"
while the Railroad Labor Board is
puzzling over the problem Of their
seniority rights"
Meanwhile the union strike lead
ers will tell the President that the
strikers refuse TO put themselves
even temporarily in the power Of the
railroads as new men," They will
also tell the President that in any
case they will forever refuse to
submit the seniority question to any
arbitration public or private.
Warren S. Stone, head of the Loco.
motive Engineers, said today:
Il am head of the most conserva.
tive labor organization in the world
but l would go down and. out with
my union rather than submit seniori.
ty to arbitration. Seniority is our
life. A man does not submit his
life to arbitration. That is one thing
for which he dies fighting"

In that region, however. and also
through the whole OF the rest Of the
great west, there are no adequate
sources OF q fresh non.union labor
supply for the railroads to take on.
