"MOULDING" PUBLIC OPINION.

New York-President Carter o. the
brotherhood OF Firemen and Enginemen
exposed the fiction that newspapers
mold public opinion because OF patriotic
motives.
In an address before the annual meet
ing of the academy OF political science,
the brotherhood executive said:
In their efforts to convince the Amer
lean people that railroad employees
should not secure an eight-hour day, we
have reasons to believe that many mil
lions of dollars were expended i'll an at
tempt to suborn the public press OF the
nation. We have evidence that in this
publicity campaign these railroad tlnan-
cial directors employed the advertising
pages of more than 5000 daily and more
than $4,000 weekly papers. Before these
millions were poured into the advertiS-
ing profits of these newspapers, many
were friendly to our cause and ma
iority were at least neutral. Almost I'M
mediately the editorial opinions OF these
same newspapers voiced similar Senti-
ments to those expressed in their adver-
tising pages"

II. r.. MEN STAND ON SIDE LINES

Washington, d. C.-Attorneys repre-
senting the Government are combating
the railroads attempt to set aside the
Adamson Eight-Hour Law.
I'VE are not going to employ at
torneys," said Grand Chief Stone, OF
the Brotherhood OF Locomotive En-
gneers, in his address to the American
Federation OF Labor Convention at
Baltimore.
I'VE are going to be an interested
spectator on the side lines. We are GO
ing to see the railroad corporations OF
this country fight the Government they
live under
Il think the railroads had the idea
that we were going to employ attorneys
and use up all the funds we had in these
organizations to fight injunction suits,
because i'll the neighborhood OF 5000 OF
them will be filed, which would mean
employing about 5000 attorneys.
Had the railroads wanted to be fair
i'll testing the constitutionality OF the
law they would have selected some one
suit and made test case OF it,

WARNING TO POLITICIANS
WAS SOUNDED
BY Officer of Gcrman-American Alli-
ance OF Cincinnati.
Prohibition Plank Would Mean With
drawal of Votes From Party
FavOring 1t.

while we are not i'll politics and
never should be, in the strict sense OF
the word, we must continue to help
only liberal-minded men irrespective OF
their party affiliations. Should one or
the other party inject prohibition into
its platform, as has been. forecast re-
recently, it becomes our duty to with
draw our votes from such party
That was part of the report made re-
Gently by August Gorbach at meet
ing OF the German-American Alliance
OF Cincinnati at Central Turner Hall
and unanimously approved. Gorbach is
second vice-president, but also is presi-
dent OF the German Federation. Mr..
Gorbach also said: 1--WE may be well
satisfied with the result of the last cleo
ton. The successful men on State and
county tickets were nearly all men, OF
our choice
On the subject OF the defeat OF
Charles Evans Hughes Nice-Pres sident
Gorbach said: "Whle we were natur-
ally somewhat disappointed, we were bv
no means surprised. 1t grew apparent
that our members were becoming suS-
picious OF the real intentions OF the
Rough Rider should Hughes be elected,
and the more the former talked the
more convinced Our friends became that
the real issue was Roosevelt or Wilson
and, choosing between the two, Wilson
seemed certainly more acceptable tc
them"
President Schwaab was not able tc
attend because OF sickness, but his ad'
dress made made to the members. Ii
it he said: Wilson had a plurality o
900 in Ohio and Cox a plurality o
6,1O0. Why? Because all prohibition
lists, no matter to what party they be
longed, voted for Willis. Let us learl
from this and heed the lesson in the fu
ture, Only by being united can th'
victory be won
1t was announced that the next Stat,
convention OF the Ohio Alliance woulc
be held in Cincinnati in August. Som,
features OF the constitution were re
vised and the following officers wer,
elected President John Schwaab
first vice-pre sident, John Koenig; sec
ond vice president, August B. Cor
bach; secretary, Henry Alberts; fnan
cia secretary, Charles Menier, anc

PICKETS ARE PLACED
AT GROCERY STORES

Pickets were placed in the vicinity OF
about twenty-five OF the stores OF a local
grocery and baking company yester-
day by the Transfers and Chauffeurs
Local Union No. 100 and other labor
organizations. The members OF the
Teamsters' and Chauffeurs' Union en-
ployed by the concern have been on
strike the past several weeks. Efforts
are now being made to have all the
company's stores boycotted by mem
bers OF labor organizations, and the
pickets were instructed to secure the
names OF all union men who enter these
stores and then have them reported to
their respective organizatiOns.-The

PHARISEES SCORED
BY A. F. OF l.. CHIEF

Baltimore, Md.-"Literal revoluton!'
"Wild orgie OF unrestn' screams the
Baltimore American in an editorial at
tack on President Gompers, who is
charged with attacking capital be
cause he voiced Labor's sympathy with
the railroad employees eight-hour move
ment
In contrast with Mr.. Gompers, who
comes here to preach doctrine OF un-
eXamped violence" says the American,
SIS to be placed Mr.. Schwab, who came
to Baltimore to make declaration OF in
tent to provide industries for the city
that will afford employment to 10000
persons"
In his reply before the A. F. OF L.
convention to this attack, President
Gompers scored ''the Pharisees who
stand in the way and try to drive us into
the mire and miasma of misery and de-
spair.'
you can not fool us very much, and
you can not frighten us at all, he said.
Mr. Schwab, the president of the
Bethlehem Steel Company, was indicted
by the Federal Bureau OF Labor, with
political partisan OF his own at its head,
for being one OF the worst taskmasters
for his workers that existed in all our
country. The indictment shows that in
addition to paying low wages, the Beth
lehem steel plant, OF which Mr.. Schwab
is the president, operated twenty-four
hours day, in two shifts OF twelve
hours each, for seven days in the week
and every day and week in the year.
The publication OF the report OF the
Bureau OF Labor dealing with this won-
derful, courageous, able and sacred gen
tleman, Mr.. Charles Schwab, was due to
! the American Federation OF Labor-and
| am glad to have a part in it.
"lt is good that the head writer. or
the editorial writer, gave the editorial
the caption he did, An Industrial Con-
trast.' | hope that so long as | may
live, and Mr.. Schwab shall pursue his
present industrial course in dealing
with the working people, that the con-
trast will be more accentuated every
day.
MIR. Schwab came to this city and
was banquetted. Whether the banquet
was provided by the money he had ex-
torted from his underpaid and over
worked employees, or whether some OF
the elite of Baltimore who expected to
participate and to bask in the sunlight
OF Mr.. Schwab when he establishes his
plant in Baltimore, | do not know, but
frequently bats OF this character are
held out by both sides.
The sum total of our offense, and my
own included, is the fact that we have
stood true, we have rung true. W.
know our rights as sovereign citizen.
OF this country, and there is no power
or influence which can swerve us or
shunt lis off the track We are going
along mindful OF our obligations and
duties and assertve of the rights which
are guaranteed us under the constittl-
ton and implied in the institutions OF
this republic"

rates on Second-claSS mail matter by the
Postoffice Department was discussed
and will be one of the questions con
sdered by the labor press. The Organi-
zation is against increase of rates 1t
was the opinion that nothing should be
done to hamper the distribution of edit
cational matter. The labor press is ed
ucational and it is against the principles
of Our Government to interfere with the
circulation of literature that makes for
the Improvement OF the people.
The high cost OF white paper was also
discussed.

ELECTRICAL WORKERS
HAVE MANY REASONS
FOR THANKSGIVING

Members OF the International Broth
erhood OF Electrical Workers had every
reason to give thanks upon Thanks
giving Day, this year, for three reasons
First OF all, the International Union
celebrated this month its twenty-fiith
anniversary; secondly, after six years
OF internal strife, the brotherhood, as
reunited organization, is stronger
than it has ever been; and last, but not
least. the electrical workers OF the coun-
try have shared in a measure the great
prosperity which has existed in the
United States during the past twelve
months.
New Locals Formed.
Local unions have been organized in
many places in the United States and
in Canada, Mexico and Panama, and
attempts to improve conditions under
which the men are obliged to work have
met with success in nearly every in
stance.
Our membership on railroads lately
secured an increase in pay and the
shortening OF hours on a large number
OF railroad systems where new working
agreements we're approved, and this
work is being steadily advanced by the
Railway Department OF the American
Federation OF Labor
Electricians Get living Wage.
The present working scale varies ac-
cording to local conditions, but the pay
of the organized electrical worker is
such as to provide decent standard OF
living. and in all cases where new or
ganizations have been formed in the last
two years. working conditions have
been materially bettered.
The present wage scale ranges from
So to $3.50 for outside electrical work
ers, and from 81 to $3.50 for inside
work.
Membership Includes Women.
We have large number of female
electrical workers i'll our organization
Most OF them are employed in the elec
trio plants at Schenectady, n. Y. Wo
men telephone operators are also mem
bers.
No children are employed in any o
the organized shops or factories oil
electrical work.
Although it is practically impossibl,
to eliminate unemployment entirely
because the activities OF electrical work
erS vary with the seasons and the spec
!, ial eras OF electrical construction, con
ditions during the past year have beer
better than usual.
The helper or apprentice question i
entirely handled by local unions, as th
peculiar conditions OF their localite
= seem to require, and many OF our local
have started schools which their ap
i, prentces are obliged to attend. In thi
way the apprentice becomes FINISHED
