A Growing AutOcracy.

A strike vote is now being circulated among
the engineers. fremen, conductors and other
trainmen of the country and we are told by
railroad papers that the officers of the Brother
hood OF Trainmen are doing everything possible
TO obtain an affirmative vote.
They claim that the ballot gives no separate
opportunity of voting for against arbitration,
and that the campaign is conducted so that
every man is compelled 10 vote or be counted
on the negative side.
They are obliged 10 vote in the presence Of
the committee chairman and without discussing
any OF the questions involved
The Order of Railway Conductors has amend.
ed its bylaws that associations shall be taken
as the unit, rather than lines of railroad
II two-thirds Of the members OF an association
vote 10 strike. all the lines in that territory will
be considered TO have voted for it. whether two
thirds on some railroads are in favor OF it or
not
Thus employees would be obliged to take part
in a strike which they had voted against.
The vote is not a direct order 10 strike, but
gives power TO the chief executive and chair.
man of the brotherhood 10 order one IF they
are unable TO otherwise effect settlement sat

One can readily see that this places autocratic
power in the hands of these officials.
The Pennsylvania Railroad has placed posters
throughout the system which is an appeal to
the $4,000 men OF the railroad, signed BY the
president
IL saws,
mo Just reason for interrupting the service
exists. The railroads have offered to arbitrate
every question raised by the demands which
have been presented. The representatives OF
the men, however rejected this offer and have
issued strike ballots"
We seem to be approaching a position be
tween the devil and the deep sea.
Exploitation of labor is thing
Exploitation Of capital is another.
Between the two the only gamers seem 10

own discretion after the working man has been

In all but two countries they are little more

account
IL Is rising up like a serpent and singing

Under the guse OF loyalty II Is placing labor
in more abject position than II has ever held

from Another Point OF VleD
BY c. T. s..

A man shot while riding on the plat
form OF Pennsylvania train was re-
ported TO have been hit in eight
places" 1t will be very evident to YOU
that it was one of the Pennsylvania
fast trains.
1t is an afterthought, Of course but it
would have been wise on his part to
have left the train in the first place he
was hit.
There is an indication that the British
are counting on the war extending into
next winter in the report that they
have taken Mametz wood.
The query is not ours; it is from
Phyllis: II understand" she writes.
that linen collars which sold once al
two for a quarter, are now ID cents
straight, but if you don't care to pay
that much perhaps the store will cellu-
loid."
We know what we'd do if we had to
go in swimming where there was a man
eating shark. We'd borrow some
woman's bathing suit.
c. T. S.-We are picking out the studies
for our boy when he enters high school this
fall, and we are undecided about geography.
Would you recommend that he take up
geography? PARENT.
Geography by all means. Were it not
for geography, how could you expect
your boy to know that fly paper comes
from the River Styx.
My son neither smokes, chews, drinks

Let us all be very, very thankful
that what promised to be big piece OF
news proved no news, THEREBY
AVERTING THE POSSIBILITY OF
WAR WITH INDIANA.
The idea is this;
If this had proven to be a regular
bandit raid it would have proven at the
same time that the governor of Indiana
is not capable of keeping down Indiana
bandits, and it would have been neces-
sary for US TO send troops in to kill
everybody in Indiana, women and chill
dren included.
And the worst of it is, We need all of
our troops Just now down Mexico way
to satisfy United States capitalists in
Mexico who have found exploiting
Mexico TO be a bit dangerous.
We are certainly glad that 1t wasn't
