J. REYNOLDS Winston-Sal ! RAILROAD STRIKERS WILL WRITE DEMANDS r ? Labor Board Refuses to Hear Them ij as Reqnested.pWHl Only Glre > Heed to Those Who Work ? Washington, April 20.?Undeterred . by the refusal of the railroad labor I board to hear them today, representatives of the railroad strikers an nounced they would present written complaints together with demands for 3 a "living wage" to the board which e tomorrow will begin formal hearings I? on the big wage controversy. ie board flatly declined to "receive 3 eni rtain or consider" complaints from strikers declaring it would only hear those who were adopting every reasonable means of avoiding interruption of railroad service. The board will proceed with the wage dispute involving claims oi nearly 2,000,000 men which failed oi adjustment when the bipartisan board ceased to function April 12. Heads oi the four brotherhoods and the chairman of the Association of Railway Executives all of whom are present today will attend.. Timothy Shea, president of the Brotherhood of Railway Firemen and Enginemen said tonight that speedy settlement would be urged Refusal n' >"> h<virH tn hear strikers. Shea said would have the effect of sending all of the strikers back to work manj of whom had been led astray, he thought in the belief that the boar<3 might recognize them. Delegations claiming to represent railroad men of all crafts in various cities who have "quit work" appearI ed at the offices of the board today demanding assurance of increased wage which they said would send strikers back to work. They composed an unorganized association they said known as the Railroad Workers of America insisting that they still retained their zpembership in the recognized unions since they had not "struck" but had only "gone on a vacation." After adopting rules of procedure ! for hearing disputes, the board ad| mitted several delegations. " j Immediate protest was entered by IW. N. Doak vice president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen who contended that the officers of tb< 18 railroad organizations present rep' | resented the men unless they had quii I their jobs, in which case they wer< : no longer employees of the railraod? I or members of the recognized anions General dissatisfaction with thi board's action was expressed by th( ! railroad workers. Edward McHugt ! representing strikers in New Yo-1 1 and New Jersey declared he wouli ( continue his efforts to obtain som< : assurance of an Increase from th( i board, adding that 8,000 men in Nev !

After deprecating the great amount Df publicity given to crime and sug gesting that newspapers pour oil on the troubled waters of unrest by speaking of the fine things in American life, Mr. Marshall told the meeting what he thought would be real news, namely, "a clarion call from every newspaper in America for men to stand for justice, for freedom, for right, for the maintenance of the old constitution and jtbe old principles upon which the republic was founded' Not Going Back "There are a great many people who think we are going back to where we were before August 1, 1914. We are not going back there, gentlemen.

"Let's get down from the theory," he said, "that we must either make all the money that we can today for tomorrow we die, or we must spend all the money we have today for fear there will be none tomorrow. Let os understand that American prosperity can not continue if the farms and factories of this country are to produce less and people are to increase and consume more and what is the use of talking about congress, or courts or any other human instrumentality setting aside the plain laws of nature?" The luncheon opened with a toast to the fully restored health of President Wilson, proposed by Prank B. Noyes, president of the Associated r Press.
