WESTERN CHAIRMAN

by S. NJ, FELTON,. chairman Of the
Western committee on public rela

to the President, did not agree to ac-

upon this subject shows that. regard :

they have reserved the right to strike
IN future AGAINST any decision Of the
BOARD which they do not like.
The labor leaders concede 1t is the
duty Of the employees 10 abide by the
dec slons Of the board only as long
as they continue TO render service:
that is. until they strike.
Since it is absolutely impossible
Tor the employees TO violate A decision
OF the hoard except by striking. the
labor leaders necessarily reach the
astonishing conclusion that while
the railways can violate decisions of
the board il is impossible for the en-
ulova 10 do so.
with respect to seniority there
stiil seems TO be confusion IN many
peoples minds as TO exactly what
The President originally proposed.
He proposed simply that the employees
who struck he taken hack with the
same seniority rights that they had
before they struck
RMS meant that strikers who for
r1erly held seniority over employees
who STAYED at work would recover
their seniority over these men and
that they would be gwen seniority
over all the new men who have been
employed since the strike began. This
would mean that practically every
new man the railways have employed
would have to he discharged 1t would
mean that every employe who was
low on the seniority list and who
stayed at work would be put back in
his former position on the seniority
list where he would be laid If in pc
RODS Of business depression, while
men who struck would be given regu-
lar employment.

Officials explain, however, that the

the standpoint of American produc-
ers despite the decline in value This
is because the volume Of exports
showed big increases for many
groups Of commodities Increases
were reported in the volume of ex-
ports Of barley. and oats While corn
moved abroad in Quantities about 200
per cent greater. The corn increase
