No Danger of Outlaw Strikes, Says Big 5 Chief "I Am Clad the Women and 'Children Have Been Spared Suffering, Declare. y. C. Lee. SSMSSSS11 Chicago, Oct. 28. The men of the onions will willingly accept the de cision of their officers in recalling the strike order, W. G. Lee, president of , the - Brotherhood of Kaiiroad Trainmen, said in a statement to day. "I expect the unions to follow the counsel of the committees so that there will be no sporadic out bursts in any quarters," said Mr. Lee. l it vrir hrr were such aooradic outbursts, but as av result the char ters of 93 lorals were withdrawn and more than 25,000 men suspended. Th. mon bnnui that th committees here would accept nothing that was not tor tne oesi interest oi ine or ganizations. ' ". , "I am vrtr til nnv that' tnl has been settled. ' But so far as I am concerned all credit for settlement is due to. Governor Hooper' and. ,the manner in which he conferred with us. r "When J think of the hundreds of letters on mv desk from old mem bers of the brotherhood, from their wives and children asking me to do everything in my power to avert a strike. I am alad that they have been spared the suffering that would have resulted. I here is no flouot mat u the settlement had not been made the men would have left their jobs and some would never have returned." Ben W. Hooper, public member of the board said: : "There are some people who hold to the idea that the brotherhoods had no real intention of striking. This is a mistake. If conciliatory methods had not been used,', there would undoubtedly have been a most disastrous strike. Not that the men really wanted to strike. It was rather like this. I have seen two boys begin bantering each other with but little intention of fighting, but after one had knocked off the other's hat and the other had re ciprocated .by spitting on his foot, the fight was on. "It required only a small degree of 'ordinary common sense to avert the strike. Now that it is out of the way there are many lessonr the pub lic should learn from this situation relative to the transportation act, and the absolute right that the peo ple have to be protected from the re currence of thee periodical trans portation disturbances." New Political Party . Organized at Lincoln (CmUum Mm Tm 0m.) providing the plan is adoptctd at the convention, was a distinct victory for Edgar Howard of Columbus and a defeat for Judge Arthur G. Wray ot . York, Heretofore unquestioned boss of those discontented with pres ent politfrat factions. , -..Judge Wray favored a third part v. but he wanted it to be born after thu primaries. Mis plan was to use the old nonpartisan league method of sending candidates into the field in republican garments and then adopt them as children of the new party after the primaries. Edgar Howard said no, that such tactics would be cowardly and would not be harmonious with the honesty, integrity and straight from the shoulder tactics that was to mark the new party. A majority of those present agreed with Howard. Wray finally held a consultation with Howard and introduced a resolution for a preprimary party convention. Elsberry Aids Fight Howard, in carrying his noint. rode over the objections of J. D. Ream of Broken Bow, chairman of the executive committee of the non partisan league, and George Porter of Morrill, formerly secretary of the socialist' party, who declared that many republicans ' and democrats would vote for their candidates if they wore garments of the old parties, but would not cut loose to vote for a new party. T. J. Elsberry, labor mayor of Grand Island, aided Howard in the third party fight, declaring the peo- pie wanted a distinctive, clear-cut istue and a party standing for such an Uktie. Ex-Sute Senator HcmI ol Broken Bow 'declared that the iiw v party would get 2,500 majority in Custer county, the same as the old populist party did. James Webber, 60, Otoe county farmer, said he was a republican un til after Garfield's election and since that. time had alternated in voting for W. J. Uryan, Lugene Debs, and Tom Watson.
