On the proposal to restore unim

which was rejected by railway execu

"It would certainly be a wholcsalt
injustice of unparalleled extent if
hundreds of thousands of experienced
men who have given four to forty
years service and whose value to the
transportation industry is proportion
ed to the length of their service,
should be placed in a position of
inferiority to a limited number of
men who have been employed as sub
stitutes for these experienced rail
road workers.”
Replying to the President’s sug
gestion that railroads and workmen
agree to abide by decisions of the
railroad labor board, the reply said
Ule shopmen had always taken the
position that so long as they con
tinued to render service, they should
abide by the rules and working con
ditions and accept the wages agreed
uptfn by proper negotiation or de
termined by the labor board after a
hearing of a dispute.
Vidiatlbns of the law and refusal
to abide by decisions of the board
