Secretary Davis Immediately called
President Harding on the telephone
from the labor department, and ad-
vised him Of the outcome of the
Chicago meeting and the President
told Mr.. Davis that he was more
than delighted at the news.
Officials of the labor department
said it was probable that 10 or IL adj
ditional roads would adjust their diff
ferences and resume normal service.
The roads which already have signed
the agreement to resume normal rela-
tionships with the unions it was pre-
dicted would be able to utilize the
services of practically all the workers
who went out when a general strike
was called.
The formal statement issued by Sec
rotary Davis said:
American industry has overcome
the last obstacle in the way of the
greatest economic revival the nation
has ever known. With the settlement
of the strike Of 100000 railway shop
crafts men assured the whole indus

Elements are rapidly enabling the mills

These three great industrial dis

to the nation in it's rapid recovery from
the industrial depression which we
faced year ago. With them out of

will be swift and sure.
To-day there are fewer strikers in
America than there have been for

THE American workman faces a pe-
Rod Of plentiful employment. We have
put back to work the millions of idle
employees who were seeking jobs a
year ago. We have succeeded in
avoiding a drastic reduction in the
high wages which obtained before the
period Of depression, and we have
kept the general wage level within a
few per cent. Of what it was at its
highest.
industrial strife has been our
greatest evil during the struggle for
industrial rehabilitation and against a

I'VE conducted our proceedings
under well recognized labor policies
Of long standing. The public will
not believe that the rank and file and
labor condone acts of violence, re-
sulting in loss of life among train
service employees and others.
Through the constant effort OF the
Officers of the organization, law ard
order was generally well maintain d
and such sporadic acts Of lawlessness
and violence as occurred were few in
number when one considers the 4OO,-
1000 men engaged in the strike and
the pressure upon these men and
hundreds Of thousands Of other per-
sons directly or indirectly affected.
We approached the railroads recog-
nizing their difficulties as we ex-
pected them to appreciate ours.
THE method Of procedure adopted
by the policy committee at the meet
ing Is that no men on any railroad,
even though included in the settle
ment at this time. are to return to
work until they have received the
necessary directions from their re-
|spective system declarations. The sys-
tenn declarations on railroads not now
parties to the agreement, will be di-
rected to secure conferences with
the proper railroad officials and en-
deavor to secure this agreement from
their railroads, in which event, the
men will return to work. Necessary
arrangements will be made to sus-
tain and assist all men on all rail-
roads who are forced to remain on
strike because of the refusal of such
railroads to join the agreements
made"

drawn and cancelled by both parties"
The executive council of the shop
men authorized the following state
ment in explanation of the agreement:
THE settlement speaks for itself. If
the craftsmanship shown by S. Davies
Warfield. president Of the Seaboard
Air Line. had prevailed at the outset,
differences would have been composed
in week. Railroad employees are not
breakers of the law, but they are hui
man and expect to be accorded the
consideration which they believe they
are entitled to receive as the inalicn-
able right of the American citizen.

lence or other unlawful acts TIE
