The statement of counsel for the railroads which I have just read, shows that it is the attitude of the railroads and the Man agers' Committee, as expressed through counsel for the rail roads, that unless firemen or engineers are members of these organizations, are invited into our councils, they cannot be rep resented by'us in proceedings like this. If that is the issue now made by the railroads, then it will devolve upon these Railway Brotherhoods to demand a closed shop. The next great fight, perhaps, will be to carry out that which the railroads say must be'done. It will devolve upon the railroad corporations to reverse the policy of their entire history.
