COERCION IS DENIED
Union Leaders Not to Strike to Con
trol Railroads.
Washington. Leaders of the 15 or
ganizations of railroad employes uni
ted in a definite assertion that they
"had no desire and have none to im
press upon the public by violence or
threat" their proposal that the ' rail
roads be nationalized under "tripar
tite control."
Declaring that the requests of the
men that living costs be reduced or
their wages Increased was aside from
the question of the future disposition
of the railroad problem, the labor
leaders said that if President Wilson
and congress could not meet this re
quest the men would "have to try to
find another solution."
While the labor leaders did not men
tion the president's address to con
gress, it was the general belief that
their statement resulted from his
warning to the labor world that
strikes would only make present con
ditions worse, and that those who
Bought to employ threats or coercion
were only "preparing their own destruction."-
