HILL LINES TAKE ACTION
RIGHTS WITH

CI r .p-i f TU
Pension and Seniority Privileges
to Be Forfeited, Say Five
Railway Presidents.
Striking railroad stationary fire
men and oilers were offered a final
chance to retain their pension and
seniority rights i they return- to
work by 10 o'cIock today, in a state
ment issued by five northwestern
railroad presidents yesterday.
In the same statement, similar
rights were denied other striking
rail employes.
The statement declared it would
be unfair to railroad men who re
mained at work, as well as to new
employes, to restore seniority to
those who walked out at the direc
tion of eastern rail unions, it bein
admitted that no basic dispute on
the northwestern roads existed. The
latest pronouncements of railroad
heads was, made by the Hill group
of lines and was received here yes
terday from Ralph Budd, president
of the Great Northern railway, by
W. F. Turner, president of the Spo
kane, Portland & Seattle. It was as
follows:
Rennme of Situation Given.
On July 1. 1922, the railway shopmen
went pn strike rather than comply with
an order of the United States railroad
labor board. On July 17 the stationary
firemen and oilers also went on strike,
presumably for the saiae reason.
The railway companies in the north
west went to ffreat pains to learn what
grievances the striking employes had
against them, and thus delayed for more
than two weeks seriously trying to re
place their old men with new ones.
Finally It was found that the men on
strike against the railways of the north
west had no grievances that they did not
agree could be settled easily, but that
they would continue the strike because
their national leaders so instructed them,
hoping in that way to influence roads
in other parts of the country to make
settlements as satisfactory as are in ef
fect, or were offered in the northwest.
In the meantime, the roads of the
northwest had been kept in operation
by some loyal employes and officers do
ing the work of the strikers. Now the
places of the striking shopmen are being
taken by new men. Railway service is
certain to be Impaired to a greater or
less extent, but each day more new men
are being hired, and eventually normal
service will be restored and the shop
forces reorganized along the lines of the
labor board's orders. j
Restoration Is Refused. i
It appears that the leaders of the
shopmen are now representing that the
only difference which stands in the way
of a settlement and their return to work,
is that of restoring to the men on strike
thetT seniority and pension rights, which
they forfeited by not returning to work.
It is utterly out of the question to con
cider restoring seniority and pension
rights to these men for the following
reasons:
The men who remained at work and
those who desire to work, have the same
right to do so as tnose who left the work
had in choosing their action, and com
mon justice requires that men who
etayed by their positions and those who
came to Work, shall be guaranteed their
Just reward for that action and shall not
be penalized for their loyalty.
The question of eenlority, which Is
ald to be the only one upon which the
railways must agree, is a question which
did not exist before July 1, and was
created solely by the action of the union
leaders, who by their voluntary acts
created this issue as late -as Tuesday,
the ISth instant.
Conferences at End.
It should now be clearly understood
by the public, by our ex-employes and by
those who continue at work and those
who have taken the places of the strikers
that there are no conferences of any kind
now being conduced looking toward set
tlement of the strike, that the confer
ences failed, not because of disagreement
between our men and ourselves, but be
cause their leaders refused to allow their
return to work until differences with
other roads had been settled. That the
ex-employes as well as the unions to
which they belong, have no standing as
such with the various railway companies
or with the United States railroad labor
board, that the only way for railway
employes to engage freely In conferences
with the managements and to have in
addition all the benefits of the labor
board's hearing on disputed points Is for
them to become employes of the railway
companies.
It should also be understood by all
concerned that every means will be
used to protect fully all who wUh to
work. Injunctions have beeiKobtanied
from federal courts agaisnt interference
with men who want to work. Violations
or these injunction orders entail severe
penalties. If the United States marshals
arc unable to protect our men from vio
lation of the Injunctions, local, state
and federal authorities may be relied
upon.
Firemen and Oilers Excepted.
Ex-employes who left the service on
account of the strike order of the sta
tionary firemen and oilers' organization
may return to work not later than 10
A. M. Friday, July 21, without forfeiting
their seniority and pension rights but
any such employes who are given em
ployment after that date will rank as
new employes. ' .:
It should be Thoroughly understood by
all that In the present -instance fairness
to employes who remain loyally at work
and those who have entered the service
demands that they be fully protected,
and that it is utterly Impossible to con
sider penalizing those men and reward
ing the strikers, who have no grievance,
b'it are engaged in a sympathetic strike
and have repeatedly been advised that
they must return to work or give up
their seniority.

ployed on the electric lines of the
Southern Pacific and the Spokane,
Portland & Seattle railway lines.
This was likely to take place, it was
said, either at midnight last night
or early today.
Railroad officials scouted the like
lihood of any considerable interrup
tion to operation, even should this
additional walkout occur. It was
said there are between 15 and 20
men in service as sub-station opera
tors on the Southern Pacific red
electric lines and 22 on the Oregon
Electric. Officials of the lines said
they would continue operation if the
strike were called, as they did not
believe it would be complete in any
event and other men, they said,
would "carry on" even if the worst
happened.
Strike Xeadera Optimistic.
Strike leaders were optimistic
yesterday and said they weVe main
taining their ranks without sub
stantial losses. It was said a num
ber of additions had been made to
the ranks of Btrikers and the out
look was very satisfactory.
Strikers established a commissary
and employment bureau yesterday
at the Labor temple and plans were
laid for a long-continued struggle.
By means of the employment agency.
work will be found for strikers who
desire to enter some other employ
ment for the time being, and the
commissary will supply pickets and
others who do not find work. , Fi
nancial support from other union
organizations will be enlisted, it wag
said, so that the strike movement
may not be robbed of its strength
through lack of funds. i
STRIKERS PROTEST SOLDIERS
Shopmen of La Grande Opposed
to Importation of Troops.
LA GRANDE, Or., July 20. (Spe
cial.) With the exception of op
position expressed in the form of
a resolution adopted by the strikers
opposing bringing troops in to
guard railroad property, the shop
men's strike situation continues to
be exceedingly quiet here. Rumors
circulated here for several days that
the O.-W. R. & N. is contemplating
replacing its civilian guards with
United States troops resulted in the
resolution being adopted by the
strikers.
The company's attitude was
strongly condemned in this matter
and confidence was expressed in the
ability of the sheriff's office and
the local police department to han
dle the situation in the future as
in the past. A state inspector who
waa here today announced that all
men employed here now as station
ary engineers were unlicensed and
that an examination would be given
tomorrow. All failing to pass will
lose the privilege of working.
IT WALK OUT IN SYMPATHY
The Dalles Brotherhood Quits Job
Without National Orders.
THE DALLES, Or., July 20. (Spe
cial.) Seventeen members of the
brotherhood of firemen, oilers and
stationary engineers walked out at
the local shops this week, in sym
pathy with striking members of the
shop crafts unions here, it was an
nounced today by W. P. Guild, asr
sistant division superintendent . in
charge here.
These men walked out without be
ing called by national union heads.
Guild said. The force at the local
shops now comprises 64 men, and by
working overtime is sufficient to
keep rolling stock moving, Guild
said. The first violence of the strike
is said to have taken place this
week, when three nonunion workers
were attacked by a force of seven
or eight men and injured by flying
rocks. It is not known If the at
tacking force was made up of strik
ers, according to Guild.
Hoover Has Coal Scheme. I
WASHINGTON. D. C, July 20.
(By the Associated Press.) Devel
opments of plans for stretching out
the nation's coal supply, now dwin
dling under continued impact of the
mine and railroad strikes, was the
immediate concern today of federal
officials acting in the industrial sit
uation. Secretary Hoover announced
that within a day or two the inter
state commerce commission and the
commerce department would put into
operation a scheme of diverting to
essential transportation lines the
coal coming from non-union mines
and those that may be opened up In
union territory by use of priority
orders governing transportation.

STRIKE CONFERENCE FAILS
Rail Chiefs Meet With Interstate
Commerce Officials.
: WASHINGTON, D. C, July 21.
(By the Associated Press. )-An ef
fort to eettle'the railroad strike at
a suddenly-arranged conference of
heads of leading railroads and mem
bers of the senate interstate com
merce committee here late last night
and early today was understood to
have failed.
Those attending the conference
said It now appeared that a strike
settlement was much more distant
and expressed pessimism over the
immediate outlook, viewing the coal
and railroad strike together. .
, Enactment of legislation which
might remove difficulties in the way
of settling the shopmen's striks
was discussed at the conference,
which was attended by Chairman
Cummins, five railroad executives,
who came from New York, and Sen
ators Watson of Indiana and Kel
logg of Minnesota, both republican
members of the senate interstate
commerce committee. The meeting
began Bhortly after S o'clock and
continued until after midnight. The
railroad executives refused to dis
cuss the subject under discussion
and the only intimation was given
in a formal statement issued by Sen
ator Cummins after the meeting had
broken up.
The railroad executives who at
tended the" conference included T.
Dewitt Cuyler of the association of
railway executives and W. W. Atter
bury of the Pennsylvania.
Senator Cummins in his statement
said:
"Senators Kellogg, Wtson and
myself had a conference with some
of the eastern railroad presidents
this evening for the purpose of talk
ing over the strike and ascertaining
if possible the exact issues between
the roads and the strikers. W
wanted to discover whether the
was any legislation that would re
move the difficulty in the wav of an
adjustment.
"We discussed the whole situa
tion freely and frankly. The views
of the shopmen have already been
fully disclosed at Chicaeo. The ob
ject of the conference was solely to
secure information upon this very
viiai suDject.
Senator Cummins said he would
be obliged to decline answering in
quiries as to the details of the enn
terence but did state, in expressing
an opinion as to the outlook for an
adjustment of the strike that he was
"hopeful to the last." He declared
no conclusion had been reached as
to what legislation was needed.
Asked as to whether the execu
tives came to Washington by invita
tion or at their own instance, ho
said that he could not discuss that
