RAIL HEADS REPLY
IN RESOLUTION FORM
New York, Aug. 24.—The resolution
adopted by tbe Association of Rail
way Executives at yesterday's meet
ing read:
"Resolved, that the committee is
authorized to meet tb<* representatives
of the train and engine service broth
erhoods again and state to them that
the railroads adhere to the position
heretofore taken, that ‘the striking
former employes cannot be given pref
erence to employes now in the ser
vice, without doing violence to every
principle of right and justice involved
in this matter and without the gross
est breach of faith on the part of the
railroads to the men at present in their,
service. Under these circumstances it
becomes apparent that the railroads
cannot consider any settlement of the
present strike which does not provide
protection In their present employ
ment to the loyal employes who re
mained in the service and to the new
employes entering It.’
