tion,' he said, that deserves mention,
leaving the four train organizations
out of that award. 1t was not intend
ed as an attack on the unions or as
discrimination against the unions. The
facts are that the men asked us to go
into a nationwide movement to
change schedules. We consented. All
the questions brought up are still with
the general committee and we do not
know the outcome. If the Adamson
law be declared unconstitutional there
probably will be further negotiations
and the results may give the men more
than We have now distributed to the
others If the act is constitutional the
cost to us will be very heavy and these
are the men that will benefit. If wages
for some of our men are to be fixed
by law, we, of course, are absolved
from responsibility"

a powerful corporation is bound TO
feel when his views as to wages ana
working conditions come in con1nct
with those of the officers of the COM
pany.
ION the other hand there are draw
backs said the speaker. The
unions, becoming more and more pow
erful and finding that their demands,
even if sometimes unreasonable are
complied with, get to point Where
they believe that all demands what
ever their nature can be forced from
the companies if only they present a
united front and they lose sight OF the
fact that corporations have limitations
in the way of income beyond which 1t
is impossible to go.
Will Fight Force.
1.-The Santa Fe has never been op-
posed to the unions and as long as
they are governed by sane leaders and
the demands are made on a just basis
and the men are willing to listen to
the complaints of the company in the
same manner that the company listens
to the demands of the men, no cause
for a quarrel exists.
But when force is the only argu-
ment and where a strike is the only
answer, we have in the past been
forced into seeming opposition to some
of the unions
Then he outlined the history of the
strikes on the Santa Fe. He told of
the disorganization of unions among
the shop men, following the strike in
that department.
"Since that strike,'' he said, eve
have had no contracts with shop or
CARNATIONS, we have a splendid ap-
prentice system, we pay the going
wages and pay bonuses to our work
men, depending on the character of
the work performed.
ONIONS Against Efficiency
I'm connection with bonuses I will
show how the organizations are op-
posed. We instituted the practice of
paying engineers for the amount of
coal they saved, it being our belief
that care in this respect would effect
a large saving to our company. The
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
requested us to remove this effort to
gain efficiency and we complied. In
other words, we wished to increase
their earnings and they opposed it.
THE unions in making demands, in
volving changes in schedules, always
include request that any rates or con-
ditions now existing that may be bet
ter than is determined by the arbitra-
ton on agreement are to be preserved
The result is that they always get
something, and as nothing is ever TAX
en- away, the changes in schedules
have been Hkened to a ratchet in that
it works only one way"

given to the non-union employees

Mt. Dread in Working Clothes Viewed

Lawrence. Kan, Dec. 12.-Begln-

the week, the students of the Univer-
sity of Kansas will celebrate the first
Mothers and Fathers Week" on Mi.
Dread 'K. U. with its working
clothes on" is the slogan the students
have adopted and while good part
of the week will be spent in entertain
ing parents which are expected to
come from all parts of the state, the
students also will show how much
work they do in school. In explaining
the reason for such a week Faculty
members said today that usually par
ents did not visit the institutions until
commencement time, when the instl-
tuition was not in operation, and 1t was
impossible for the people over the
state to form an opinion as to the
methods used in giving their children
an education.

to discourage the union station idea.
These were Christmas promises
made by w. B. Storey, Jr., vice presi-
dent of the Santa Fe, in an address
delivered before the Chamber of
Commerce Monday night. Fully 800
Topeka business men were present at

ident's address dealt with the subject
of capital and labor, labor, more par

He admitted that the unioniZing of
forces had increased wages faster
than they would have been had the
menace of stoppage of work by all
hands not been present, and to GER

in making men contented with their
work in that it removes the hopeless
