Every effort was made to keep the
call at the Wblle.HQtise secret. News
that copies of the strike-erdeV were
In. the hands of the railway presi
dents occasioned no surprise among
the brotherhoods. After it became
known that they suspected three of
their number of acting as spies for
the railroad heads, they said frankly
that they expected the ptrike order
soon^would be in their e'mployers'
hands. More than five thousand
copies of the order, it was learned,
were mailed out of Washington and
' each member of the committee of
640 received a copy.
Labor day was agreed upon as the
s. time for the tentative strike order
to become operative, after careful
consideration of several dates. It
was finally chosen because of' the
belief that a demonstration by the
two million or more union men who
will march in Labor day parades in
behalf of the brotherhoods would
„ have the effect of winning much
public support for the strikers. By
Labor day also the strike order will
have been scattered to all points on
all divisions in the country. The last
of the delegates who left will have
reached their homes by next Friday
night.
s' lAthough the strike order is for
seven o’clock next Monday morning,
all lines affected probably would not
be tied up before some time that
night, if the order were released.
Every member of the brotherhood,
wlither an employee on a passenger,
freight or mail train, is subject to
the strike order. Brotherhood'heads
intimated last week that supply
trains running fo the Mexican bor
der, some passenger trains and prob
ably some milk trains would be ex
empted. Monday night they declar
ed that all trains would Ije tied up.
“We hope to tie up all freight an<l
passenger lines,” one of the leaders
sadk« ;
The' strike order is brief* it is
addressed to all members of the four
brotherhoods, is signed by the vari-
* ous general chairmen and reads as
follows:

mission: Assistant Attorney General
Todd. Judge William L. Chambers,
commissioner of mediation and con
ciliation. and Edgar E. Clark and
other members of the interestate
commerce commission.
“We have undertaken the framing
of a general bill," said Senator New-,
lands, “regarding various phases of
legislation that will be necessary to
meet the railroad situation. In con
ferences begun to-day we reached no
conclusion except as to the general
scope of legislation that will be re
quired.’ The purpose is to take as a
basis for this legislation the bill to
enlarge the Interstate commerce
commission. To meet the emergency
we are considering also legislation
fixing an eight-hour day for railroad
employees, an increase in revenue to 1
the railroads tot meet greater ex
pense of operation due to adoption
of the eight-hour day and amend
ment of the existing arbitration
laws:
“We are considering applying to
the arbitration law the Canadian
principle which will prohibit a strike
or lockout pending negotiations and
for a period of sixty days following
a decision In any controversy.
“With reference to an eight-hour
day there is being discussed the ad
visability of making legislation pro
viding for it effective at a time far
enough in the future to permit the
railroads to adjust their affairs
“Just how all these things will be
worked out finally we cannot say.
The problem Involved In legislation
to insure operation of the railroads
in case of a strike is how far con
gress shall go In authorizing the fed
eral government through the presi
dent to act. This legislation will
give the president authority to draft
trains and trainmen to Operate them
under federal control. The question
Is shall the president be authorized
to draft trains merely for military
.necessity and the transportation of
the mails or shall we go farther and
provide for their operation for gen
eral commercial transportation. This
is a grave question that has not been
determined.”
Opinion is divided in congress on
nearly all of the proposed enact
ments; Some progressive Republi
can leaders said they doubted the
wisdom of enacting an eight-hour
railroad law in the midst of a
threatened industrial crisis. They
also express the belief that compul
