REQUIRES MEN TO
VOTE FOR MACHINE

SACRAMENTO, July 9.-The Southern
Pacific company, according to infor-
nation from a reliable source, is MAX
ing the re-employment of its men in
the local shops a matter of politics.
Before the men who were recently
laid off are put back to work again
they virtually are required to pledge
themselves not to vote for the Lincoln
Roosevelt ticket at the coming pri-
mary election in August.
Sacramento is one of the strongest
Lincoln-Roosevelt league cities in the
state. The Southern Pacific knows this
and is endeavoring to break the
strength of the league by forcing it's
men to vote the machine ticket
The men were all laid off recently.
All but about 20 per cent have been
given their places back, but they have
been forced to promise to support the
machine ticket.
The mechanics in the shops are also
going back to work as new men. Their
years of service or seniority rights
count for nothing.
