How They Copspire
Against Union Labor

street railway men all o~er the coun-
try
So far as the attack On street rail-
way unions is concerned. the crusade
ended il failure because OF the at-f-
tude assumed by Mayor Magee- The
mayor found that. under an old Ear.
he had the power u seize the prop
critics of the railway company and
operate them on behalf Of the muns-
cipaIity- He accordingly served no
tice on the officers OF the raiIEay
company that Ii the strike vas NOT
settled ne would take advantage Of
that law. seize the companyss prop
erty and operate the road
This threat brought the company
to time Immediately All its care
fully laid plans to continue the strike
until the unions were destroyed were
abandoned
II has been learned that weeks ago
the railway company here had ar
ranged with other street railway
companies in at least dozen cities
to detail all their extra men 10 Pitts
burg just as soon as the strike was
declared And among the companies

The truth is that the trouble be-
tween the Pittsburg Railway company
and its employees was part of the
general plan now being carried out
to break up the labor unions There
have been a number of conferences
held by big employers of labor, most
of whom are members of the Ma
uonal Manufacturers association, TO
devise ways and means of crushing
all organizations of workingmen by
concerted action all over the coun-
try 1t is said here that the steel
trust first suggested that such an
effort be made and that the Lake
Carriers association acted with the
steel trust in interesting all other
organized employers of labor in the
scheme.
The crusade against organized la
Dor was decided on. according to the
story told here, over nine months
ago when Van Cleaye was president
of the National Manufacturers asso-
citation, and it was agreed that the
program would be followed out just
as soon as the campaign was over
The action of the Lake Carriers
association in declaring for the open
shop and establishing blacklisting
system was part of the plan
1t is stated here that the steel
trust declared for the open shop in

suance of the program agreed upon
