Washine- Report on the Cleveland confer ence of striking Pennsylvania Railroad shopmen's 'representatives was given by A. J.

Burger, president of System Federation, No. 90, in an address before several hundred striking Harrisburg shop workers at Royal Hall, North Third street, last night. Burger told the Harrisburg men at the meeting that the Cleveland conference had decided to continue the strike which began two years and ten months ago. The strikers want the P. R.

R. officials to concede "the right of the shop'crafts to select their own representatives for negotiating wages and working conditions," Burger-asserted. The strikers are opposed to the Pennsylvania Railroad's" plan for employe representation," Burger declared. Left Work "Only July 1, 1922," the speaker continued, "35,000 Pennsylvania shop employes suspended work and joined in the nation-wide strike. Since then settlements have been made or the strike otherwise terminated on all other railroads.

"Less than 10 per cent, of the men who walked out of the Pennsylvania shops, response to the strike call, have returned to work. for that com party. Thousands are now working in other roads or are employed in other lines of industry. "Many pathetic recitals were given tmay of specific sufferings among the men and their families, of homes lost, court persecution and eviction from houses because of inability to pay rent, rather than surrender and become chattels in the Atterbury company union scheme. Delegates who were familiar with conditions in their regions reported that the Atterbury plan is not em-cient.

"For instance, a delegate from Al- toona stated that previous to the strike 400 men in the repair shops there turned out eighty-five engines a month. Now 600 men in these shops repair only sixty engines month. Many Out of Service "It was further stated that ina bility of present shop forces to make adequate repairs has resulted in Government inspectors ordering 165 Pennsylvania engines out of service during the past two weeks. M. Jewell, president of the Railway Employes' Department, A.

F. of was one of the principal speakers at the conference. He reviewed the history of the great struggle through which the shopmen have gone and what the strike meant to organized labor and railroaders. 'It stopped farming out of repair and maintenance work, one of the chief grievances which caused the said Mr. Jewell 'It also stopped the series of -wage cuts inaugurated by the managers and supported by the Railroad Labor Board.

It led to the introduction of the cooperative shop policy, now success fully operating on four great railroad systems, which, in my opinion, will eventually solve the labor problem in the railroad industry.
