UNION TELEGRAPHERS
MIGHT AID RAILROAD MEN

The possibility that II the railroad
strike scheduled for September does
take place the union telegraphers of
the country may aid the labor railroad
men by refusing to transmit orders to
non-union crews was discussed in rail-
road circles today.
Railroad officials would not comment
upon the possibility, beyond saying
that they do not think the telegra-
pliers. who are not concerned in the
present struggle. will take any part in
the strike if it comes.
The telegraphers would benefit more
by keeping out Of the railroad fight,
one official believed. and awaiting the
action of Congress as to an eight-hour
day. If Congress should pass law
making eight hours days work for
railroad trainmen. it was said. it would
be merely question of time before all
other classes of railroad employees and
organized labor generally would in
sist upon sharing the benefit of such
a law.

Progress of Labor Cause.

1t was also recalled to them that this
Congress and this administration had
effected much legislation for the cause
of labor.
The exemption clause is looked upon
as one of the most important.
Anti-stop watch riders on appropria-
ton bills are looked upon as great
advance for labor's representatives.
Actual work has been done on a scien-
tific study looking toward a minimum
wage for government employees.
The organization of government EN-
ployes under the main organized labor
bodies has been met favorably by the
committees of this Congress.
These accomplishments have been put
squarely up to the brotherhood men.
There isn't the slightest doubt that the
conferences between the brotherhood
men have been plain. straight-away
shirt-sleeve talks Whether or not the
brotherhoods profit by the advice,
there is no doubt that they know what
! their friends in Congress think
AS a result of these deliberations,
tentative plans are under way for quick
legislation, to show the railway en-
ployes that Congress is not endeavor-
ing to dodge, side-step or delay.
Prominent among the members of the
House who are working hard to pre-
vent strike are the labor group com
posed of Representatives Heating of
Colorado, Van Dyke of Minnesota,
Tavenner of Illinois. Buchanan of IL
linois, Lewis of Maryland. Cooper of
Ohio and Casey of Pennsylvania.

Militiamen at Camp 0rdway Hail
Prospect Of Taking Place of

Belief in the prospect of movement
to the border went up about fifty points
at Camp Ordway today. The fact that
more than $1,000 troops had been order
ed to their home stations led the Dis
trict troops, officers and men, to the be-
lief that they will soon be on their way.

to be in excellent shape for border serv-

Gen. Harvey said he found these two or

shape. The companies of the Sd In
fantry were mustered by the battalion
majors and the equipment inspected by

urday night. The rolls will go in today.
Plans now are being made for big

given on the parade ground at Fort

Will Forfeit Public Good Will.

The earnest conviction of leaders of
the House is that the brotherhoods will
forfeit the sympathy of the American
public if strike is actually put into
operation in the face of the actual eff
forts of Congress to forestall one and
give each side what it considers a fair
deal. Railroad brotherhood leaders
were told today in private conversa-
ton with labor men in Congress that
all signs pointed to a defeat for the
men If a strike is started.
A democrat who will be a central
figure in possible railroad legislation
was recently quoted in The Star as
saying that, If a strike is started a
great demand will arise throughout the
country to repeal the exemption clause
of the Clayton act. whereby labor or
CARNATIONS are not held to account
under the Sherman antitrust act. This
Was called to the attention of the labor
men today and yesterday.
