Aw hmwn by the workers, the issue
which stands out above the whole
nass of charge and counter charge, is
whether or not the employees of the
Southern region shall have the right
to maintain labor unions witheut re«
strictions Numerous roads in the
Southern region had fought bitterly,
prior to the taking over of the roads
by the Government, every attempt on
the part of certain claswses of thelr
employees to organize and onily the
locomotive enginders, econductors,
tralnmen and telegraphers occupled
#ecure position in that respect
Management Determined.
On one or two roads the manage-«
ment refused to deal even with those
organizations. Since Wederal control
hecame eficctive, however, every craft
on the wvarfous Southern roads has
oecome thoroughly organized and
many of them have secured contracts
with the management covering wages,
hours and working conditions. |
The condition which has not pre.
viously come to the surface, however,
#nd possibly now may not arise, -

between representatives of the va

Administration in Washington,
Just what the representatives of the
brotherhoods have lald before the
Railroad Administration has not be

elude n extension of the proposal of
the unions some time ago for the
“Big Four” to take over the actual
management of the roads, for opera

ment, the public and the employees,
Under this plan, rates wauld be re
duced, wagex raised and a consider
able revenue diverted to the United
States Troasury, it has been claimed,
To Avert War.
It was belleved at the time the rep
resentatives of the brotherhoods went
0 Washington that serious troubie
between the unisons and the rallroad
management could not very much
longer be averted and the proposition
of the “Big Four” was made with a
view to avoiding what then appeared

der In the Industrial and social life
of the common people”—will be urged
upon the next Congress by Represen.
tatlve Sinclalr, of North Dakota, as a
new spokesman for the Nonpartisan
League in the next House,
Sinclair's announcement of this to
day, coupled with the statement that
“the North Dakota idea” will be
forcibly impressed wupon the next
Congress, directed attention again to
the fact that North Dakota's delega
tion of three representatives in that
body will all be men who-—for the
first time since the league's forma
tion-—represent an entire State in the
House as ‘' the exponents of the
league's ohjects,
The other North Dakota represen
tatives will be Baer and Young, both
of whom were re-elected after re
celving the league's Indorsement.
Baer, Sinelair and, Young were
commitied to a legislative program,
it was "explained, which would be
based uron a determination that the
next Congress provide adequate ways |
and means for the care of the coun. |
try's industrial and agricultural needs. |
expecially with regard to dischurged
soldiers, saflors and marines, as well
as dismissed or jobless war workers. |
“Our returning soldiers, who help- |
ed make the worjd safe for democ
racy, are demanding, as they have ;.!
natural vight to do, that they be glven
@ share in that for which they fought
hoth a political and Industrial shure”
Hinelair sald “Congress has been

practically nothing hoas resulted su\u}

war. A reconstruction program has
beon sdopted by North Dakota that
ushers in a new érng In political and

democracy to industry., And while
other States are faltéring with hap
hagard and ineffective reconstrue
tion measures, this program promises
to make North Dakota/the most sta

monwealth in America”
| Sinelair declared that “in these
days of advanced economic thousht !
it I 8 no longer controversial that
there nre limitations on the adminis

“Whenever a condition arless that |
