HEAD OF TRAINMEN NAILS AS LIE STATEMENT
THAT WILSON PLAYED POLITICS


W. G. Lee, president Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen, spoke last
night at a mass meeting of railroad
workers in Sullivan hall, Paulina and
Madison streets. He said in part:
eff any railroad attempts to cut
wages after the eight-hour day goes
into effect there will be a crash in
that industry in which we will not
permit even President Wilson to in
terfere.
Railroad employees have been told
that if they make run in four or
five hours they will get only four or
five hours pay. In that event moth
ing will stop a strike.
''In the political campaign being
waged Mr.. Hughes has attacked the
eight-hour law and is earnestly OPP
posed to it. If elected he will doubt
less use his great power as president
to have it repealed by congress or an
nulled by the courts.
ct want to nail as a most absurd
falsehood the statement that any
ILlLk IudJ IICSluCuI W14OO1 NAN NOAA
ing the negotiations to avert a strike
was done for political reasons. Every
thing done and said was for the good
of labor and the good of America.
The people who weren't there are
spreading these falsehoods, but the
railroad men, the managers, the ex-
ecutives, the union representatives,
know what transpired.
Threats are sounded that on Jan.
1 some of the roads may attempt. to
cut your wages and limit your hours.
But let me say this: We still hold
the signatures of the men as we did
on Aug. 1, and just as soon as they
cut wages and just as soon as they
put those plans into effect there will
be no conference with President Will
son or other delays before the fire
will spread.

Theodore RoOseVelt's attacks Of
last week on the railroad brother
hoods for ''hOld-up legislation" drew
this answer from Lee:
Roosevelt made more promises
for labor than any man who ever
went into the White House. Taft
made fewer but accomplished more"
Victor Lawson's Daily News and
its clamOr about arbitration drew
this one:
The employees representatives in
the preliminary conferences in
August insisted that if arbitration
were resoTted to at all it should be
resorted to for every railroad in the
country. The companies wanted to
eliminate about Is smaller roads.
