SAME OLD WOLF; NEW GARB

New York.-The anti-union wolf has
adopted new garb-the National In
dustrial Conference Board. organized
in this city last week, following the con
vention of the National Founders AS
soclatlon. 1t is stated that the new or
ganization has a membership of $1,000
captains OF industry" with $S,OOO,OOO
600 capital.
Some OF the units in the new organ
izaton are:
National Council for Industrial De
iense-John Kirby Jr., chairman;
James A. Emery, general counsel
National Founders Association
National Metal Trades Association.
National Erectors' Associaton-Wa1
ter Drew, general counsel.
National Association OF Manufact-
urers-George Pope, president
The new organization will probably
supersede the National Association OF
Manufacturers as spokesman for en-
ployers hostile to remedial legislation.
The latter organization passed under
a cloud from which it never emerged
when congressional committee in
1913 investigated its lobbying methods.
In its report the committee said:
1--WE think it is offensive and out
ragcous that these associations should
haye their paid hirelings about this
capitol buttonhoing members OF Con
gress striving to inducesthcm to remain
away from the char1bcr when a vote
was being taken"
While the same influences that are
behind the National Association OF
Manufacturers are behind the new or
ganzation is is clear that these anti
unionists have profited by the scorch-
ing they received at the hands OF Con
gress during the Mulhall investigation.
This is shown in the declaration Of
principles OF the new organization,
which are most lamb-lil<c and 'broth-
crly," save this section; which may be
read two ways:
"To oppose the passage OF unsound
and unfair laws and to urge the amend
ment or repeal OF impracticable and I'M
just statutes

this declaration is supported by reso-
luton passed by the National Founders

New York-The New York Word
publishes the following dispatch from
Pittsburgh:
"Thc Pennsylvania railroad is expert
menting with short freight trains on the
Monongahela division i'll order to find
out how an cight-hour day will work.
So far, by cutting mile train or a half
mile train in two enough time has been
saved, the officials say, to indicate that
runs may be made in eight hours, thus
avoiding overtime"
The above would indicate that the ef-
iicicncy plea of railroad employees is be-
ing tested, despite opposition of bank
crS, editors, stock-jobbing promoters
and other ''moldcrs" Of public opinion.
Railroad employees have continually in
sisted that the solution of the eight-hour
problem was the thing the Pennsylvania
railroad is now cerdited with doing.
