' GOVERNMENT TO Statement in Forceful Lang uage Issued From White House. BOARD'S POWERS, LIMITED j Operation of Trains Will Not j Be Interrupted and Only Shopmen Will Strike Now. WASHINGTON. June 3D Th administration. speaking today through the While House on the eve of the c.i.bd stiike of 40O.U00 union railroad stiop workers, declared its determination to stand squarely be hind the railroad labor board It is because of the decision of the labor board that the shopc raftsmen have decided to qu.t 'work at Id a hi to morrow. The administration view, set forth In language as forcible as ihe spokes man cou.M command, was that Ihe labor board is the one agency of the government deaing w.th disputes between Ihe railroads and their em ployes and iherefore it le. ees must and would be naeke.l up by the gov ernment. The labor board "s the govern ment when it speaks.'' was the way the spokesman .summed up the ad ministration view, adding th.i: this vh?w held whether the toard's deci sion drew the protect of labor or ganizations because. thf'V Involve cuts in wages or whether they were protested by the railroads because they required the managements to desist in contracting out repair w. ik to private shops. The deternnna ions of the board, the administration further was asserted to hold are by the delegated authority of Congress and in a field definitely marked out In the law of th land. The administration pronounce ment was made Just a re minutes before there occurred in Chicago what Chairman Hoop- r, of the labor board, declared to be a flouting of a government body by B M. Jewell, head of the railway department of the American Federation of Labor, namely, the refusal Of Mr. Jewell and some of his colleagues to appear in ansvWT t . a summons of the board, an! "hether the adminlstra , tion view u. nt "o far as to take fur- ther action was therefore a c,ues!ion left open for the time being. The general belief, however, was t hat. ns the tt.iasportation act clothed the labor hoard with no powers to n- for e Hs decision, there were no i steps left for the government to tuke j at Ihis stage except to maintain its stand behind the board's decisions- Generally speaking, officials ap peared more concerned over the j flouting of the board's authority than they were over the shopmen's walkout. Officials for several weeks have watched the gathering storm clouds in railroad labor quarters, but an it grew more and more appa rent that the strike would la- held to the shop crafts with possibly the maintenance of wnjr and some other workers joining hut with the train operating forces remaining out of the strike, a feeling of rclicr hnTthreti expressed.
