FOR new RAILROAD
. MEMS ASSOCIATION

nave sprung up in many cities Of
the country branches of an organiza-
ton having its headquarters in Chi
cago, and known as the American
Railroad Employees and Investors
Association. -... III
+. II. Morrissey, once prominent as
an, official of the railroad workers
organizations, is named as the con-
trolling spirit of the concern. .
:. This association was generally con-
demned by labor LEADERS throughout
the country who had Investigated its
affair and read its bylaws Pat
Egan, a prominent Toledo unionist,
condemned the new organization in
scathlng language in his paper; the
Union Leader. He stigmatized is as
a trap set by railroad officials to tie
up the savings of the employees of
the roads of the country and in this
manner secure a sstrangle-hold on
them that could be used to the great
advantage of the roads in a strike
or other wage controversy, :t
About the same time it was an
nounced by the daily press of Duluth
that an organization to be eknown as
the Investment Association of Rail
way Employees was being formed in
this city. rsaI
{ The similarity of names lead the
Labor World to believe that the new
Twin Ports enterprise was one of the
numerous branches of the organiza-
tion which Morrissey was SO success
fully forming to entrap his old COM
rades, and two weeks ago drew at
tention to the fact. ~,
Since then we have been informed
on reliable authority that the Invest
ment Association of Railway En-
ployes of the United States is bona
fide organization founded here in the
interests of the railroad workers at
the head of the lakes. ~
Men we'll known in both the pass
enger and freight departments of the
roads running into this city are in
cluded in the personnel of its direc-
torate, and from it's officers we have
received earnest assurance that the
association is in no way associated
or connected with the Morrissey or
ganizations. + .--- @5t
Its constitution and by laws provide
for safe and able investment of the
earnings of its shareholders, and the
names of those who have identified
themselves with the organization
should be a sure guarantee Of It's
freedom from guile, $ss +: 5a,#
