FAIR TD EVERY
WASHINGTON, Jan. C Tho no
publican Publicity Association,
through Its president, Hon. Jonnthau
Bourne, Jr., today gavo out tho fol
lowing stntemeut from its Washing
ton headquarters:
"Tho untt-stilko clauso of tho
Cummins railroad bill presents a
vory simple and clearly defined ques
tion whether tho public Intorost In
transportation shall ho protected or
shall bo constantly menaced by tho
possibility of Interruption of sorvlco.
1It may bo admittcd.ns claimed by
Jalior union spokesmen, that there Is
slight danger of a genorul railroad
,tlo-up for any considerable period of
time. Tlint thero will not bo such a
'suspension of railroad o'poratlon can
riot bo nsscrtod by tho labor unions,
however, In view of tho definite
threat mado in 191G that a gonoral
strike would bo called at a cortaln
hour on a specified day unless tho
demands of tho employes should .bo
met. Tho four brotherhoods de
monstrated that a tail tlo-up is a
ga,vo possibility fiom which tho na
tion may puffer In loss of comfort,
convenience, property, and life. I
"Tho very fact that labor unions ,
protest against enactment of the
anti-strlko a provision is evlden
enough that whenover It suits their I
nleasure they will strike to enforco I
Mi
N

their demands. Tho protest of the Duncan U. Fletcher, senior United
unions against tho provision should t States senator from Florida, born in
cause tho rest ot tho people to insist ' Sumter County, Ga., 61 years ago to
upon its enactment for protection of av
their own rights and the welfare of I 01e Hanson, former mayor of
tho nation . Even though a strike ! Seattle, known for his aggressive
may never be called, the possibility Americanism, born in Racine
of a strike is a constant menace
which every business man must con
sider (n every undertaking and in
every contract h'e may make. That
uncertainty is one of the hazard's of
every business that depends upon
transportation for Its 'continuance.
"But aside from the purely com
mercial Interest of the nation in un-
broken railroad transportation, there
Is the fundamentally more Important.38 years 8R today,
'consideration that a strike is an un-
just means of settling a dispute. In
an enterprise so vitally impbrtant as
transportation, a strike Is nothing
more nor less. than application of
force. It is entirely within the truth
tn nnv thut in iVi fi fh'fniir hrnthnri
hoods held a pisfol to' the head d;
Congress and commanded enactment I
of desired legislation.
More etfec
not be de-
tive intimidation could
vised than the threat to interrupt
transportation of .supplies, thus stop
ping all the wheels of Industry and
bringing suffering, starvation and
deatijto inhabitants, of "oUtes,.
, T6rqet lirf4he,:forn),of a ,s!trtke is
ttblrtiXre appioprja.te'.'al J Imethod of
settling dlsputos than is force in the
rra oi pnysicai violence, ine uum-
mins bill proposes a better, remedy,
It provides for establishment of
committees on wage adjustments,
with authority to take testimony
rand adjudicate controversies, thus
arriving at a fair Judgment as be
tween the employes and the public.
Every railway wage controversy is
in reality between the employes and
the public, , for in the final analysis
Lthe public pays the wage.
"The Cummins bill not only as
sures 'an equitable system of settling
wnge disputes, but expressly pre
serves the individual right to quit
railroad employment for any cause,
with the single reservation that there
shall be no conspiracy to interfere
with interstate commerce a strike.
Under the Cummins bill, every "rail
road employe would be at full lib
erty to cease his employment when
over ho could secure better wages or
moro agreeable work elsewhere, or
oven if he desired to ceaso work en
tirely. Tho only purpose of tho
anti-strike provision is to impose
upon railroad employes the same ob
ligation that Is Imposed upon rail
road owners continuous transporta
tion service. Whenover employes
are given (the right to strike to forco
payment of higher wages, it will be
propor to give owners the right to
suspend traffic to force payment of
higher rates. One privilege is just
as reasonable and Just as absurd as
the other."
