out and' olUclnls of the railroad tele-.
jiapheis' organization announced they

orized a strike.
The vote calling off the strike was
unanimous by organizations G.

ed was that tho "strika be declared

opposed adoption the lesolutions.
None of the presidents would conlirm
thib however.
L. E. Sheppaid president of the
Older ol Paihoad Conductors said
that (he unions decided to cull oil" tho
strike because ot "the gioing publio
opinion that tho strike would bo
against the labor boaid and conse-
quently tho government and not
against the railroads.
"It was eviuent also that the ontiro
Washington adminis.. ration was oppos.
ed to us and that we have had little
chance ol gainingioui objectives" paid
Mr. Sheppaid.
"We called this (strike to gain cer
tain lights to which oui men weie en-
titled" Mr. Sheppard said "It soon
beuune evident however that tlio
loads were succeeding in their mis-
leading propaganda to the ellect that
we really would be sti iking against
the government.

io hoar against us if wo walked out.
Under such circumstances tl ere was
nothing to do but annul our orders
lor the October 30 walkout."
