Il seem s unthinkable that these* three unions,
representing less than 10 per rent of railroad
employes, and those among the highest paid,
ran successfully maintain the threat of a par
alyzing strike against the interest of the en

fellow employes.
1 he threat of a strike rannot Justify grant

of the railroads to unwarranted wag«* in
creases or to changes in working rules which
are not justified.
A glance at the box shows what employes
represented by the Engineers and Firemen
make. They are among the highest paid in
the ranks of labor in the United States, if not
the highest.
Compare these wages with what you make!
