000 railway workers, aafcatfalM fat
Sunday, constitutes a violation if
the board's decisions of the fder
at transaerUUM act.
Brotherhood leaders and rail
road execBtlves were present.
W. O. Lee, president ot tke tralsH
men's organisation, was ealled tat
the staad, .aad told ot tke strifes)
vote aad strike 'order. I
h Bifrnvi h - j
Lee declared that Us striker bal
lot of the other four brothcrhoas;
organizations violated kis idea at
what the transportation act pre
vided. 'He said ho -withdrew frosa
tbo Joint meeting of 'brotherhood
representatives when the' other aa
ions prepared n statement liai u.
company the t ballot, in which they
referred to proposed wage cuts 'aa'4
revisions Of rales not yet decide
by the labor board as among a
questions at issue. Lee told tke
board that &e understood that, the
July wage cut was the 'only ques
tion on which the strike could s
legally c1!ct.
Board members explained that
the hearing technically, is to deter
mlnexwhether the transportation att
baa been violated and that- they
had decided at informal meeting
that the board's province was mere
ly to carry out the provisions at
tbtstect, although It would tako
any steps which might tend to e4
tho .aifl.,w-u hWiPnyj m
w . j-oya ,r.Br ; Hettiwaeat in J
The board also formally, an
nounced that "there was great hope
for sottllng; the strike," that 'all bt
tbo 1406 union men and tbo 165
rail heads summoned must nttond
ovory session, and hired the Coll
soum, scone of many great gather
ings, for tho hearing, which will b
open to tbo public.
From tho labor side came the
announcements that tho 15,000 sig
nalmen would not be authorized to
strike, limiting prospective striken
to 475,000 trainmen, conductors,
switchmen, engineers, firemen, and
telegraphers, and Increasing the
number ot men whose leaders have
pledged them not to walk out to
about 1,500,000. The 75,000 rail
road telegraphers apparently were
definitely committed to a strike
when E. J. Manlon, their presldont,
announced in St. Louis that there
was no intention of changing the
decision tor theso men to support
tho "Big Flvo" In the walk-out
scheduled for October 30.
