Ogden Daily Standard | 1916-08-31 | Page 4 | May be No Strike

MAY BE NO STRIKE. The Standard is of the opinion the strike order will be called off and there will be no strike. One of the brotherhood leaders Is quoted as saying say-ing the strike would be called off, If Congress passed the eight-hour day measure. With President Wilson and the, Democratic leaders committed to that legislation, the bill is assured passage. Then.it will be up to the railroad employes to keep their word. The men undoubtedly prefer peace, if they can gain a part of their demands, de-mands, with a promise of having all their grievances studied by an impartial impar-tial body, such as the enlarged Interstate Inter-state Commerce Commission will be. The railroad managers may not accept ac-cept this program with good feeling, but they will bow down to the mandates man-dates of Congress, and await their day in court, when they can set forth their financial needs. The public as a whole will rejoice, because every one has dreaded the approach of the day of the strike.
