aH.'tIng has told the labor leaders that
he favors such provision now just as
he did when ne was q member or tho
senate.
Both SIDES Cautious.
Tho brotherhoodS gre working tooth
and nail 10 prevent the establishment
OF my precedent which will affect hem
in case they have grievances IN the
future and wish 10 strike as means OF
protest. Similarly the railroad cxccu-
tives are adament. not because they
have recruited so many men during the
strike as to make II embarrassing for
them to dismiss strikebreakcrs, but be-
cause they want to hold the threat Of a
loss OF seniority rights over the heads
Of AL railroad workers in the future.
Tho present controversy, therefore,
has resolved Itself into a question OF
whether workers on railroads have the
right to strike at all There Is pre-
ponderant opinion among Mr.. aHrding
and his advisers that the right TO strike
should be denied In an industry so es-
sen.iai TO the public welfare as the rail-
road systems OF the country. But ac-
companying such denial OF the right
10 strike must be. il Is recognized, some
pro.cction 70 the workers. This would
be prONlOeQ DS Tue I nINtu oNdN'S IdO'A
board. but the difficulty IS that the
authority OF the board IS not firmly es-
tahlishcd. and II the truth be told. the
personnel OF tho labor board is not OF
as high grade as It should be TO weigh
carefully the rights Of all the disputantS.
The railroads moreover have contested
the validity OF decisions OF the board
and employed all sorts of measures to
delay the effectiveness OF decisions OF
the rS!lroad board by court action. This
has aggravated the workers and caused
them to lose respect for the labor board.
Until the labor board earns the respect
OF Soth employers and employees and the
public as we'll and has the prestige to
convince both sides OF the fut!lity OF
disooedience the denial OF the right to
strike on railroads will be fought In
congress b ythe labor bloc and the stu
alton will be little changed from what
4. was when the present strike began.
