It h a t S o w ? employes, and those among the highest paid, can successfully maintain the threat of a par alyzing strike against the interest of the en tire country—and against 90 per cent of their fellow employes. The threat of a strike cannot justify grant ing more favorable conditions to 125.000 em- ployes than have already been put in effect for 1.175.000, nor will it alter the opposition of the railroads to unwarranted wage 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.
