WESTERN UNION IS
OPPOSED TO UNIONS
President Carlton Says Men
Are Discharged When They
Join Union Organization

Chicago, April 12.-President New
comb Carlton, of the Western Union
Telegraph company today told the fed
eral relations commission that it was
becoming the general policy of his cor
poratiOn to discharge men for belong
ing to unions
He declared the Western Union en-
ployed 10000 workers.
In the opinion of President Carlton,
nothing should be allowed to interfere
with the workings of an institution like
the Western Union. He furnished fig
ures showing that the company is cap
italized for $100,000,000 and that its
average yearly earnings were 100000
900. He was unable to give the annual
net earnings offhand. The door, he as
serted, was always open for employees
with grievances and in about go per
cent of the complaint cases the decision
was rendered in favor the the employe.
Cross examining the witness, Chair
man Walsh asked:
"Did your company in 1908 demand
that the United Press terminate its
agreements with the unions under
threat of having its leased wires taken
away from it,"
81 can t say about that, " replied the
witness, "That was before l became
president"
Walsh announced that Belvidert
Brooks, former president of the West
ern Union, would be called as a witness
and interrOgated on that subject.
Carlton explained the welfare wOfl
of the Western Union, enlarging on thu
rest room system, pensions for deserv
ing employees, etc.
Questioned by Walsh he said:
81 admit that these features are no
a substitute for proper wages. Tele
graph operators undoubtedly are under
paid. They should make more than they
do"
Walsh asked Carlton to name the
wage he thought the operators shoulC
receive, whereupon the witness replied
"At least $5 day"
Under the sharp cross examination o.
Walsh, Carlton admitted that his cor
poration employed "spotters" to keel
tab on the men. With regard to thest
spotters" he stated:
Personally | do not like those fel
lows They don't know much abou
, their work.
