McNear of the embattled Toledo, Peoria and Western railroad brought the FBI into the case in an effort to track down the killers of the millionaire rail executive. The justice department authorized the FBI investigation on the grounds that the federal government was interested in what otherwise might have been a local incident because of McNears recent testimony before the house labor committee. Committee Chairman Hartley (Rep., N. J.) revealed that McNear had charged the Railroad Brotherhoods with inciting violence on the T. P. & W. to prompt government seizure of the line during the war. Brotherhood officials replied by accusing McNear of a lack of knowledge of railroading, Hartley said. McNear had clashed with the unions over his insistence on running his own properties without interference or what he termed ham pering restrictions.

Previously, union members had returned to work in Cases CIO-Unit- ed -- Rock Island, and Rockford, 111., 111., Burlington, la., factories after prolonged walkouts. Asst. Sec. of Labor John W. Gibson was successful in bringing the company and the Racine local together. Abandoning efforts to obtain a union shop, maintenance of membership and a compulsory dues checkoff, the local settled for an average 25 cents an hour wage raise, new grievance machinery and improved vacation provisions. Settlement of the strike posed a labor problem for Racine since many of the 3,500 strikers had taken other jobs during the course of the walkout. Their action eased the strain on the union treasury although other workers received strike benefits. The plants were completely shut down during the dispute, with the union maintaining effective picket lines. of freedom for all people.
