Capital is putting up 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 Il. p Ripley, president of the htchi
son, Topeka ana Santa Fe 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 acting
under threat Of four leaders of organ
izations, enacted a so called eight hour
law, which is nothing more nor less than
an advance of 20 to % per cent in the
wages of the best paid men in the rail
way service. II is only fair to the pub
lie and to our employees TO say that
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway
company does not intend TO comply with
the law until ordered to do so by the
court of last resort On the other
hand William B. Fitzgerald, labor or
ganizer who tied up the traction sys
TENS of New York twice. says capital
throughout the country is using every
effort to crush labor organizations. In
a statement he says: "AIr Shonts and

hope of saving the Union Stock

II is believed that the fire
was started by incendiaries,
who fired several bales of straw
near the loading chutes in the

in ears nearby were hauled a
way safely, but several carloads
of cattle were turned loose from
the pens and ran wild about the
ards.
