Skeppard, president of the Order of Railway conductors, said that the unions had decided to caU off the strike because of "the growing public opinion thai the strike would be against the Ubor beard and cott sequently the government and not against the railroads, "It was evident also that the entire Washington admin- sperry; Flour company officials istration was opposed to us and that we have had little chanco T A COMA, Oct. 27.

"We called this strike to tfain certain rights to which the men were entitled," Mr. Sheppard told the Associated Press. "It soon became evident, however,, that the roads were succeeding in their misleading propaganda to the effect that we really would be striking against the government. "This railroad propaganda found its way to the United States railroad labor board. This governmentar agency told us that it would look on a strike as against it and the gov ernment and not against the roads, and that the full force of the government would be brought to bear against us if we walked out. Under such circumstances there was nothing to do but annul our orders for the October 30 walkout. There will of course be com- petilion for the site.
