Capital is putting up a more serious
attempt than ever to combat the power
OF the labor organization. The fight to
declare unconstitutional the eight hour
law which congress passed for the
brotherhoods has already been started
by f. P. Ripley. president OF the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Sante Fee railroad. He
believes the growing strength of labor
will eventually demand everything in
sight until social revolution will re-
suit In his defiance of the eight hour
law he says: Congress, hastily act
ing under a threat of four leaders Of
labor organizations, enacted a o-calleG
eight hour law, which is nothing mors
or less than an advance of 20 to p per
cent in the wages of the best paid men
in railway service. 1t is only fair TO
the public and to our employees to say
that the Atchison, Topeka and Santa

to comply with the law until ordered
