our men through you, our understand

elf to us today, 1t occurs to us that W,
have been dragged into a controversy
the causes for which we have no feeling
in common, by new labor organization
called the American Railway Union, the
leaders of which are apparently deter
mined to destroy and crowd out Of ex.
istence the wiser and more conserva.
tive labor unions with which we have
been accustomed to counsel, and II
seems wrong indeed that these well
established organizations, whose lasting
and we'll defined principles have given
them stability well calculated to in
spire the confidence of the public and
lessly brushed aside to make room for
an organization that has no record in
the past and whose future is problemat-
ical.

by the company.
