Lender of the fifteen of railroad employees organisation united Kuturduy hi a definite assertion thut they hud' no desire and hare had none, to impress uisin the public by violence or by threat" their pruiMMcui that the railroads be nationalised under tripartite control. Declaring tlmt the requests of the men that living costs he reduced or Tlte'r wuges increased was aside from the question of the future disposition of ihe railroad problem, the lultoi lenders said tlmt if President Wilson and congress could not meet this request the men would try to find another solution. Plans for the formation of a national conference for railroad control were discussed at a luncheon attended by representatives of the bortlierhood and prominent iersons from various iwrts of the country who were Invited by the brotherhoods to be members of the conference as representatives of the public. While the Inbor leaders did not mention the president's address to congress it was the general belief that tlielr statement resulted from his w arning to the Inbor world that strikes would only make present conditions worse and thut those who sought to employ threats, or coercion were only preparing their own destruction." Two distinctly separate considerations now confront the people, the wage requirements of the railroad employees, and the 81ms bill (embodying the railway employees plan for reorganisation of the railroads). In the matter of wages we- have submitted an eminently Just proposition. We have said that if we are to continue to live as Americans should live and are to care for our families as American families should he cared for, the profiteers must he restrained or our wages Increased. Every fair minded man, and every intelligent housewife, will recognise the reasonableness of this request If congress and the president cannot meet this request, it is still a living question and we shall have to try to find another solution.
