“Wo arc going hom to start the real

"Our organizations have rJeniv of
tunds to conduct a long fight, and our
men are willing to make t! o < hori
fices needed for a decisive victory,” he
concluded.
B. M. Jewell, head of the strike or
ganisation of crafts was equally pos
itive of the outcome of the battle,
which he asserted tho railroads Pft
as the only course for the unions to
pursue. Before starting for Chicago
to y»lck up the reins of strike lead
ership, where he dropped them when
recent peace parleys began, he issued
a statement to his men, in which he
said:
"We have gone the full limit in the
interest of peace. If we must fight
w'e will show we know how. Now
that, the issue Is again clearly defined,
and false hopes of an early peace dis
sipated, the fight must he rontwed
with Increased vigor, and every man
must do his full part to bring it to
an early and successful conclusion.’'
"Gentlemen," he concluded, "what
will be your answer to the challenge?”
SORRY FOR THE
AMERICAN PUBLIC
The attitude of the brotherhood
chiefs, whose tireless efforts to pro
mote a peaceful settlement proved so
futile when negotiations collapsed
Friday afternoon, was expressed by

men's Union of North America.
"We arc not so sorry for the strik
ers," said he, "as we are for the
American public. They are going to
bo the sufferers, mote and more, as
the strike is prolonged."
Others of the big five leaders ex
pressed great disappointment over
their failure to end hostilities, but re
newed assurances that the running
trades would refrain from any s.vm
path*tlc strike, illegal walkout or con
spiracy "as long as the rights of the
brotherhoods are not threatened."
In rail employes’ circles news of
tho disruption of peace parleys was
given a varied reception. Officials of
