Text of Resolution.
The text of the resolution on the
rail situation follows in part
BE it resolved, That we deplore
the fact that the means of trans
portation so essential to the live
stock and agricultural industries
is being seriously interfered with
and the railroads prevented from
the service so vital to our
industry and all others by an or
ganized strike that prevents py
force and fear the railroads from
men to take the strikers
places.
1--WE view with great alarm that
condition where men who need |
work cannot pursue a peaceful and |
lawful occupation with full protec-
tion of person and the home and
the exercise of the free right to |
work fully and adequately protected |
and held inviolate in this liberty
owing country.
1--WE deplore the fact that while |
being required by law to do so, ana |
deserving to perform public duty
1f affording adequate transporta-
ion at reasonable rates, the rail-
,oads are guaranteed the right to
employ the best means at reason
,ble expense to enable the public to |
have adequate service at reason |
able cost. We condemn the use OF /
force ana Gear OF bodily harn ~ a ,
means where men attempt to eon Z
oel payment of what they may I
ionestly deem to be reasonable
wages. as a method that substitutes
he rule of the mob for thar OF
aw and lawful methods which lie
1t the foundation of government
Favor Arbitration.
1--WE favor arbitration as means
= settle these disputes between the
,ailroads and the employees, but II
hat means is right the award OF
he arbitrators must be enforced'
otherwise il is worse than worth
ess.
I'VE therefore demand the CIV {
ng of force and effectiveness to the
d bor boards decisions or the apol-
of the labor board.
1--WE further demand or the pres
dent of the United States and gov
rnors of the states adequate pro !
ection for the railroads and the
employees who want to work.
1--WE demand of congress adequate
avs to protect the railroad in their K
lights to freedom of contract 10
low them to perform their duty K
" employing men whom they need L
o enable them to function proper !
V as common carriers. II
