THIRTY-THIRD YEAR. lVOlto PLATTE, NEk, NOVEMBER 20, 1917. No. 89 as to; ' it'. ' ii. SO? ft -"-fell 1 8fr HO STRIKE OF TRAINMEN SAYS PRESIDENT, X.EE Cleveland, O. "There is not going to bo a railroad strike don't even iraaglno It for n mlnuto." With' this statement, W. 0. Loo, prosident of tho Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, which Is voting on a demand for In creased wages, registered his faith In President Wilson's policy. Mr. Loo was asked whethor ho thought the President's policy led to a government dictatorship ovor tho rail roads. "I wouldn't want to say that It doesn't," ho replied. Ho Intimated that tho trainmen will firmly demand higher wages, "nnd you . know as well as I that the railroads won't grant them without Increased revenues," said he. This lod to the inforonco that Mr. Leo expects the deadlock which Pres ident Wilson spoko of In his letter to tho chairman of tho United States Board of Mediation and Conciliation, when ho montlonod tho "possibility of being obliged to take unusual meas ures to oporato the railroads." Mr. Leo scoutod tho idea' that tho President might draft tho railroad employees and force thorn to work at army wages. "Wo have talked to tho Prosident about that," he said, but ho wouldn't state what assurance, If any, the President gavo. "There Is no. law for such .action,' said Mr. Leo. "Tho Government's policy points tho other way. Tho whole trend has boon to 'raise existing wages of necessary em ployees when tho government asks their unstinted co-oporatlon to win tho war.'
