UNION SMASHING CAMPAIGN
BY RAILROAD COMPANY.

Some of the far-seeing labor Of
ficials of the country are becoming
disturbed at the warlike develop
ments occurring on certain rail-
ways. Ever since the interstate
commerce commission vetoed the
efforts of the railway corporations
to raise rates a noticeable spirit of
hostility toward employees has been
manifest ON a number of the prin-
cipal systems.
The Pennsylvania company is in
augurating a campaign of union
smashing with Altoona as the Gen.
ter of the affected area; the New
York Central has forced it's boiler
makers on strike to compel the ac-
ceptance of the piece system, which
is ultimately to be foisted upon
other employees; the Southern Pa
cific is letting out active unionists
and displaying favoritism toward
company men" who ally them
selves with the so-called Railway
Employees and Investors associa-
tion, which is conducted solely in
the interest of the bondholders
and stockholders, with the en-
ployes in the background to in
spire the Legislators at Washing
ton and the state capitals with a
proper amount of respect and fear
for those who WELD votes.
Thousands of men embracing all
branches of the service have been
laid off or forced on strike on the
foregoing and other railways, and
a reign of terror is being inaugu-
rated that is more foreboding than
were the conditions that led UP to
the Pullman strike.
It is probable that, unless there
Is material improvement in pres
emit relations, the conditions will
grow rapidly worse until this coun-
try is plunged into the greatest
railroad strike in its history.

UNION RAILWAY NAIL
CLERKS ARE DEFIANT.

The efforts of Uncle Sam--or
rather. certain politicians who are
clothed with authority for few
brief years-to break up the I'M
ions of railway mail clerks are
proving abortive. The men are
sticking, although few with weak
backbones became panicky when
the ukase was issued in Washing
ton by the higher-ups that the
llower-downs had no right to Join
any organization that promised to
correct grievances of which they
complained and improve working
conditions.
"If the Washington bosses want
fight they can have all they are
looking for" is the significant cry
that is spreading throughout the
railway mail department. The Of
ficials thought they would scare
the men by condemning their new
union as a secret" organization
and by forbidding the clerks to
hold office therein.
