This is also true of the workers in
the railroad industry. Since 1921 the
railroad companies have been carrying
on relentless warfare upon organ
lied railroad labor. The woraers have
suffered many defeats. Only a few of
our unions have been able to with
stand the attacks of the companies,
others have been seriously weakened,
while some Of them have been all but
completely crippled. A crucial moment
in American railroad unionism has ar
rived. The paramount question TO be
decided by the railroad workers is
whether we will continue in dis
astrous retreat, or whether we will
close our divided ranks by rallying
our forces In all trades and presenting
a united front to the common enemy.
This is a question that the militant
railroad workers irrespective OF trade
affiliations can no longer ignore. On
the answer to this question will de.
pend the future course OF railroad
unionism in America.
Fortunately out Of the recent con-
fict are already rising clear signs OF
a solution to this problem. A new

NEW YORK, May 2. = At a huge

Bosses Break Down.
The manufacturers had previously
presented eight points reducing the
demands of the union as to wages and
hours of work. The strikers refused
to countenance these. The manufac-
turers then said they would not nego-
tate on any but the basis they pre-
scented.
But the solidarity of the strikers,
their determination to carry on the
strike to the end of the year If neces-
sary and the fact that the manufac-
turers are up against complete ina
bility to fill the years orders have
brought the bosses to time.
