No explanation is posslblo for the state
ment of Chief Justice Whlto In comparing
railroad employes to soldiers and to a strlko
by them In concert as comparable to soldiers
deserting In tho face of tho enemy. It is
not a part of the printed opinion. The Chief
I Justice refused, polntblank to amplify It In
any way.
But tho lawyers who sat In the court and
beard It, and who dec'ared at the time that
the sentiment was "almost rcolutlonary,"
Insisted today that It indicated what the
pinion of the majority of the court was

The Chief Justice's suggestion entirely
disposes of the claim made by the chiefs of
the railway brotherhoods that "there was no
power anywhere to make men .work who
did not want to do so, and that there was
Bo difference in tho law between a mall train
and a freight train."

JOB OF ADJUSTMENT
FACES ROADS AND MEN
NEW YORK. March 20.
With the possibility of a railroad strike
definitely averted, both railway managers
and' brotherhood chiefs turned their efforts
today toward a more minute study of the
Situation they have brought about.
The railways have surrendered and the
brotherhoods are undisputed victors, but
both camps are trying to salvage as much
vtf as possible from tho work of the last few
days.
Increased freight rates seem suro to bo
demanded by the railroads to compensate
them for the $50,000,000 a year Increased
wages. Expert estimates have shown that
by. bowing to the will of tho employes the
fci railroads must expend this sum annually
lo meet Jhe revised payroll.
