Under strike conditions best explained by Chairan Ben W. Hooper, oi the United States Railroad Labor Board, in his statement of July sU reading as follows: "In the past a man who took up the work of another who was on strike against wages and working conditions was termed a scab or a strikebreaker terms to which much apprdbrium was attached. In the present situation created by the strike of shopcraft workers men who assume the work of the strikers cannot be justly re proached with such epithets. This is not a customary I strike in which the employer tries to impose upon the i employe unjust wages and unreasonable working rules. In this case the conflict is not between the employer and j the oppressed employes. The people of this country, through an act of Congress, signed by President Wilson! i established a tribunal to decide such disputes over wages and working conditions, which are submitted to it in a proper manner. It is the decision by this tribunal against which the shop crafts are striking. Regardless of any question of the right of the men to strike, the men who I take the strikers places are merely accepting the wages and working conditions prescribed by a government trib- I unal and are performing a public service. They are not I accepting the wages and working conditions which an employer trying to impose. For this reason public sen t indent and full governmental power will protect the men I cmera,n m r PSiti0nS and neW men wh0 y I Adequate provisions have been made for the full protection of all ne J employes the same as old employes who have remaS lovll b M I Tn , App,,cJints foul apply at the offices oSiSSeS at Ogden or of the Assistant Superintendent at Sparks rintendenl r i itr J- H- DYER, General Manager, Southern Pacific Company.
