GONGRESSMAN STEENERSON WRITES OF ‘STRIKE BILL [Continued from First Page.] “The other 'amendment is in regard to compensation of arbi- trators, giving the circuit court authority to allow greater compensa- tion than that prescribed in the statute where the cases are important, It is said by the officials of the de- partment that it is difficult to get men of sufficient standing and im- portance to act as arbitrators under the present compensation, “But the most important provision of my bill is the proposed section which provides that in case of failure of conciliation and arbitra- tion and a threatened stoppage of traffic upon an interstate railroad which is likely to result in irrepar- able injury to the public, then the attorney general of the United States may apply for a receiver and operate the road. “It goes without saying that no attorney general would exercise this authority except in cases of the gravest importance, where either a food or fuel famine, for instance, was iminent by reason of the stoppage of traffic. “When the Erdman act was under consideration in 1896, such a sec- tion was proposed and was in fact approved. Attorney General Olney, who then had fresh in mind the Pullman strikes in Chicago. Later a similar provision was approved by a national convention of railway commissioners. “The people of the northwest have been considerably excited over the threatened stoppage of traffic of the railroads. Although there are millions of tons of coal at Duluth, the great prairie sections to the west are dependant on this coal supply which must be carried by rail several hundred miles. Not only the towns and villages in that section use coal for fuel, but the farmers also. According to later dispatches one town in Red River Valley is already confronted with a fuel famine with the thormometer tWfimy-five degrees below zero. As a genera] proposition there can be no sound objection to the proposed law. It is simply to be used in cases of great emergancy. With the general increase in the cost of living itis to be expected that in the near future there will be a demand for increased wages in all industries including those em- ployed in transportation, and strikes are to be expected. The people would feel much safer if such a power was entrusted in the general goverment as is here proposed and it would also have a tendency to hasten a settlement of the labor dis- pute in question, for the railroads would not like to have the govern- ment operate their lines, nor would the labor unions like to have the government do so, for they could not then with impunity interfere with the ape{‘ation.
