THE LATEST SCHEME

The Railways Must be Defended From
the Attacks of the "Hayseeds" and
"Insane Knights" and a New scheme
Is Borned.
There is in existence at present an
organization styled The Railway EN-
ployes' Club" having for its object the
resistance OF any measure put forth by
labor OF farm organization having a
tendency to curtail the selfish motives
of railway corporations. The Railpay
Age publishes the following in regard to
the advent of the club in the state:
ut is stated on apparently good au-
thority that a new organization, COM
posed solely of railway employees, named
the Railway Employees club, was
founded in Decatur, ILL.,, March /, with
a membership of several hundred-J.
G. Badenhausen, president; Eugene
Head, secretary. The members obligate
themselves to stoutly resist any legisla-
ton having for its object the further
curtailment of the railroads of this
country. The organization is intended
to be national in character, and is
formed to battle against unjust legisla-
tion advanced by farmer and other or
CARNATIONS. The members will vote for
no candidate for Legislative honors who
will not pledge himself to deal fairly
with the railway companies in every
thing that is reasonable and just
At a recent meeting of the st. Paul
Trade and Labor assembly the follow
ing memorial, explaining the objects
and makeup of this organization, was
addressed to the Minnesota legislator:
To the Honorable, the Senators and
Members of the legislature OF the
State of Minnesota.
SIN view of the fact that there are
now pending several bills affecting the
railroads of Minnesota, and in order to
defeat these measures the railroads are
using the alleged Railway Employees
club; the state federation of labor deems
it IN imperative duty to inform the
members of the legislature as to the
true nature of the clubs and the reasons
why employees apparently aid the rail-
road corporations.
/. The Railroad Employees club is a
a misnomer because it does not repre-
sent the men employed, by the railroads,
nor their sentiments regarding railroad
legislation.
2. Organized and oficered by the
superintendent and officials Of the rail-
road, this employees club is forced upon
the men. A refusal to join it usually
means a dismissal from the service.
Passes are ven telegraphed to members
Of the club when their presence is needed
at a meeting. The railroads do not
usually show anxiety to tender transpor-
tation to employees when holding conven
tions for the actual protection of their
own interests.
8. More than 10000 men are employed
by railroads in this state. The Railroad
Employees club claims to present the
whole number; yet the only persons
known TO be members Of this club are

The Duty of the Cincinnati Conference

News comes to us hat thirty-iive
states will certainly be represented at
the conference of the different labor Or
CARNATIONS to be held in CINCINNATI in
May next. We hope this conference
will take the time to discuss the whole
field of reform. and prepare such aplat-
form of principles as will secure the
hearty endorsement of every ,laboring
man III this country. Parties that re-
present sentimental issues and live upon
traditions have no power to be useful
to the laboring people of the world. If
the existing political organizations wish
a new lease of life and usefulness they
must plant themselves upon the princi-
pies of eternal justice which underlio
the reforms demanded by the working
| people. If they do not do this. they will
be unceremoniously brushed aside in or,
der that some other organization with
ability. to be useful to all classes may
take their places. We suppose the man
ayers of the old political parties will re.
gard this warning as a piece OF NEE

the king of Prussia, another was fur

when his majesty appears as

its canopy is of yellow silk and gold

JENNY LIND, according to her mem
oirs just published, disliked her career
as a professional songstress very much.
Writing to her father in 1912 she ex-
pressed the desire that God would save
her from being obliged to sing on the
stage. During her whole life there was
a gradual increase of religious feeling,
which doubtless induced her early re-
tirement from the stage, although not
through puritanical motives.
