RAILROAD UNIONS

as. shipped say from New Orleans to
st. Louis, which goes through in &c or
38 houds, while car Of dead freight
would occupy almost three weeks
getting the same distance; in other
words, dead freight is moving in the
United States on an average Of one
mile per hour when it should move
practically as expeditiously as any
other commodity.
The statement has been repeatedly
made that the men do not want an
eight hour day, but are simply after
an increase in wages. This absurd
statement has no basis in fact, as the
men do not want the overtime, and
the only way to stop the working OF
the men overtime is to put g. penalty
on the use Of overtime, so that the
railroads would move trains more ex-
peditiously and be more saving in
their use of the mems overtime
work. Pay for overtime to the
worker is blood money, as this money
is made after the man is worn out,
needs sleep and rest, and digs at his
vitals, and makes him old before his
time.
About Car Shortage.
Give railway train service men
eight hours work, eight hours
sleep and eight hours to pass with
their families and they ask for no
overtime and no so-called' exorbitant
pay.
The manufacturers and shippers
are constantly brought face to face
with fhr0110hnnf tho
| United States, which condition is
largely brough about by slow trans
portation of so-called dead freight.
If cars loaded with this dead or slow
moving freight were handled more
rapidly to destination, unloaded and
returned to service, the company
| would earn a greater revenue to each
car, which increase alone would off,
set any additional expense the COM
pany would sustain in making the
change. Keep the trains moving by
giving them the amount of tonnage
they can handle over the division and
it will be seldom that the trip cannot
be made in eight hours.
There is no good, logical reason
| why the railway and train service
men should not be on an eight hour
basis. Before the federal 16-hour law
was enforced the companies worked
| men 20 or 80 hours, but after this law
became effective they found they get
the trains through in II or Is hours.
and they will find this can be just as
easily cut to eight hours as it was
from 80 to 16 hours. It needs only
the cooperation Of the company
| officials with the men to make an
eight hour day on railroads bless
ing, and at the same time knock the
ehackles off of 309,174 railroad men

Regarding a statement he is al
legged to have made concerning the
administration of the law, Mr.. Furu-
seth said:
II have not circularized the trades
unions on this subject at all. The
quotation in The Times is from an
address I delivered before meeting
Of the Boston Economic society on
Feb. %, which it was expected would
be attended by Mr.. Redfeld.: The law
has not been properly enforced, and
my opinion expressed in that same
address was, and is, that the fault is
with Mr.. Chamberlain, the commits
sioner' of navigation, and Mr.. Uhler,
inspector general of steam vessels.
We wanted to bring it strongly to Mr..
Redffeld's attention. We believe that
the law will be enforced as soon as
the clear facts can be laid before the
secretary himself and the President
Of the United States. The facts have
been laid before the secretary, and
they will be laid before President
Wilson, who understands the legisla-
ton, who signed it because he UNDER
stood it, and who will not permit it
to be nullified when the proper infor-
nation comes to him."

FIGHT SEAMEN'S LAW

Galley TWO -America'c Enemies
the privilege of foreign ship owners
to arrest, detain, and deliver back to
their vessels any seaman who deserts
from foreign vessels, the vote means
that they want the United States to
continue to use it's police power to
keep the wage cost Of it's foreign
competitors below it's own. It means
farther, that they believe the applica-
ton of a fugitive slave law, now in
operation upon seamen should be
continued in the interest Of the for
eign ship owners, and against the best
interests Of the merchant marine of
the United States.
1.-THE vote further calls upon con-
gress to ask the President to with
draw the notices that he gave to for
cign nations last June, to the effect
that the United States wanted to
abrogate the treaties which provide
Of deserters.
Abrogation of Treaties
''Section 16 Of the LaFollette sea-
mans act provides for the abrogation
Of these treaties, which by their own
terms can be abrogated by either side
by giving one years notice. Section
provides that the seaman shall be
entitled to one-half his wages in a
port of call, and that he shall be en-
titled to the whole if the half is re-
fused. These two sections will equal
ize the wage cost of foreign and
American vessels leaving ports of the
United States, yet the National Cham
Der of Commerce votes to have these
two sections repealed. It cannot be
in the interest of the American mer-
chant marine, and that it is in the
interest Of the foreign shipowners
may be considered conclusively
proved by the fact that foreign ship
o<ners coached their governments to
protest against these very sections Of
the proposed act before it was en-
acted.
members Of congress, who exam
ined carefully into all these COM
plants and protests, deliberately
chose to pass the LaFollette seaman's
act because they knew that the en-
| actment of this law would give the
United States an opportunity to COM
| pete on the ocean on equal terms
Objections from Shipping Trust.
All these protests came originally
from the International Shipping Fed
GRAFTON, Limited, corporation or
ganized in Great Britain for the pur-
pose of preventing any changes in
the maritime laws of any country, If
in their opinion it would be against
their interest, and to assist in every
country the enactment Of legislation
which they considered to be in their
interest This corporation is made up
of European ship owners. It has
| members of it's executive board in
| nearly all maritime countries, and
agents in all. It has unlimited
authority to use it when 1t will do

American business men should fail 30

them. They will have to pack water
sometimes for nearly hundred
miles. And there are no roads, but
only trails. Pack mules, not wagons,
must care for the transportation.
There's lots of wild talk about our
rushing In quick and cleaning up on
them" but 1t can't be done, with the
transportation difficulties that are to
be faced. Meanwhile, Villa has
thousands Of horses, his men are all
mounted, and he knows the land to
the tiniest ravine..
ton hidden where he can get at it.
But suppose he is lacking somewhat
In arms and cartridges? The Mexi-
cans have great knack of casting
shrapnel. I myself helped in MAX
ing 10000 shells of this kind!
Then they extemporize mines out
OF plugged iron pipes, which they
hide in bitches, under railway ties,
etc. And our boys can expect to find
poisoned water everywhere. And If
they don't watch out, in many places
as they enter the buildings will be
blown to pieces over them. Dyna-
mite will be planted thus in their
way.
I'VE learned the lessons of Euro
pean war fast enough, and before the
end of Villas last campaign
we were using, aeroplanes, electric
fences and fighting trench battles.
even got Villas approval for the
use of gas bombs, but the end came
before this civilized refinement was
introduced into Villista warfare.
"Of course, in the present cam
paign, Villa will revert to his old and
! more primitive style of fighting. It
! consists in harassing, skirmishing
with the enemy through the day,
| rounding them up, then crawling in
on the camp at night and rushing it..
I've watched night rushes of that
kind, when the air was just ablaze
with millions Of flashes from the
grenades, and the roar was unceasing,
This night fighting is Villas own pet
invention, and in the opening skirm-

seen him in the rear, practically held
prisoner there by his officers. But

! have seen him at the head of a
charge on the enemy, his men in a
great flying wedge formation and he
himself right at the point! Men
dropped by the scores around him.
The legend of. his charmed life is
hard to disbelieve when you've seen
such things as that.
THAT gives you an idea Of the men
we are up against and the way Villa
wages war. The secret of his sue
cess is that he fights savagely in the
old Indian frontier methods, but that
he has a lot of men, with considera-
BILE engineering ability and a whole
lot Of native ingenuity, who are quick
to catch up also every method of
modern fighting that they can
adapt to their circumstances.
"Of course, Funston will get him,
and he must, for Villa has become a
menace. But the old warrior is going
to teach our boys a few things about
desert and mountain fighting that 1t
won't be pleasant to learn"
