BOARDS MOVE IN "OUTLAWING"
STRIk ERS ATTACKED

Washington, July 3.--The ruling of
the United States labor board, "out-
lawing' the railroad unions now on
strike, was denounced by Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, in statement
issued tonight as utterly Bolshevik
in character, and an attempt by the
board "to disband unions at will" The
ruling, Mr.. GomperS added, was
palpably "too ridiculous and fatuousto
be accepted as permanent American
government policy
'The action OF the board" Mr..
Gompers' statement continued, lis
replica of the action of the commun-
lists in turning the unions into gov
emment controlled agencies for the
carrying out of government orders.
Freedom of expression vanishes under
the order of the board.
"But l say now that the workers of
America, either on the railroads or
elsewhere, do not intend to sacrifice
freedom of experience and of action
The board undertakes TO say that
unions which differ with the board
must cease to eNist-they are out
lawed. Whether this is for themoment
an assumption of authority on the
part of the board is immaterial. 1t is
the logical outcome of the very es-
tablishment of such boards. 1t is an
inevitable consequence of an initial
action that was wrong in principle
and has proven impossible in action,
'"The law gives the workers, or the
railroads the right TO decline to accept
the boards rulings. The workers, of
necessity, declined and by vote of the
membership withdrew their services.
They declined to work for the terms
ordered by the board. The board now
declares them "outlawed." This isl
autocracy with vengeance. 1t seeks
TO put the whole force of government
back of the movement to kin the spirit
and the fact of collective bargaining
of joint negotiations and agreement
by the voluntary coming together of
workers and employees. 1t is the
calamitous outgrowth Of mistaken
idea.

STRIKE SETTLEMENT
BELIEVED NEAR
Way Paved for Full Settlement as
Result of Agreement to Abolish
Outside Contracting, Rail
Officials Assert.

Chicago, July 5.-Hope> for = the
speedy settlement of the countrywide
strike of the railway shopmen was
seen tonight in statements issued by
Ben W, Hooper, chairman of the
United States railroad labor board,
and B. NJ. Jewell, leader of the shop
crafts who ordered the walkout.
In reply to a letter from Mr..
Hooper, which was regarded as con-
ciliatory in tone, Mr.. Jewell declared
that the strikers were willing to con-
slider any negotiations with any one in
authority for settlement of the strike.
1--WE are willing confer with any
body authorized by the railroads to
bring peace proposals to u.s." said Mr..
Jewell 81 include or exclude nobody,
but if the labor board, for instance,
came to us with definite proposition
we would not hesitate to consider it"
Mr.. Jewell then made public for the
first time the exact figures on the
strike vote taken by the 400, 900 mem
bers of the six shop crafts. The vote
was divided into three separate bal
lots, the first on accepting. S60,000,-
600 reduction in wages ordered by
the labor board, the restoration of
seven working rules altered by the
board, and, third, the abolishment of
outside contracting by the roads.
A tabulation of the ballots showed
Mr.. Jewell said, only 94.7 per cent of
the men voted to strike on the ques-
tion of wages, the heaviest vote for a
strike being on the question of out
side contract labor, which polled 97.1
per cent of the vote cast. The ballot
on rules came second, with 96.2 for
ssrike.
In railroad circles it, was declared
that the way had already cleared for
a full settlement of the gravest issue
that Of contract wosk-'by the
agreement OF the twelve roads TO

and explain his strike order.
The explanation of this incident
was made by Mr.. Jewell tonight, when
he said to have appeared before the
labor board Friday would have result
ed in mob-like suspension OF work
by the shopmen and possible blood
shed. He said that the strike order
having gone out and suspension Of
work Saturday morning at 10 o'clock
having been sanctioned by locals in al
parts of the country, to have made an
eleventh hour attempt to avert the
walkout would have only resulted in
chaos. Mr.. Jewell said that the inter-
vention of the board came too late and
that the only way to prevent disorders
was for him virtually to defy the
board and thus let the rank and file
of the six shop crafts organizations
involved know that their leaders had
their hands on the brakes and were in
full control of the situation.
