DOAK TELLS WHY TIE RAILROAD

by the Brotherhood Of Railroad
Trainmen, but in many instances by
other organizations. For instance,
the first attempt to have this spe-

state of West Virginia originated
with the Order of Railway Con-
ductors; was endorsed by the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers,
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen, Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen, and supported
by the State Federation of Labor.
1t is true that certain individual
employees have at times appeared
before committees or commissions
and opposed such legislation. But
bear in mind that there are more
than 500,0 900 employees in train and
engine service in the United States
and the percentage is almost negligi-

AS a whole, however, railroad men
generally side with this legislation

the protection of the travelling public
and employees.
As to suspending or repeating this
law, or modifying its provisions for

any justification for this act we fail

INCREASED
RAILROAD
EFFICIENCY

President J. D. Farrell reports that
due to the efforts of the traffic de-
partment of the Oregon Washington
Railroad and Navigation Company
toward the heavier loading of equip
ment used in the transportation of
lumber, which is one of the chief
commodities handled by this COM
pany, the August, 1917, business
shows an increase of loading of ia
per cent per car over the same period
for 1916.
Comparison of figures from Jan
uary to July 81, 1917, shows an in
crease over the same period for
1916 of eight miles per car per day
on all cars handled.
Wartime railroading has shown
that if the main business be done by
the operating management increas-
ed efficiency and increased profits
result, whereas, if the main business
be done in Wall street by stock
the opposite is true.
The government urge now applied
to railroads is proving that govern
ment ownership and control would be
good for the roads and good for
the people.

Indications are that the city of San
Francisco will purchase the United
Railroads property at the earliest
possible moment, which will mean
a satisfactory and permanent solu-
tion of the transportation problem
of San Francisco.
While the necessary legal machin-
cry is being set in motion to give the

citizens of San Francisco are work.

the United Railroads as union men,
with an eight-hour day and a daily
wage of $3.50, and at this writing it
looks as if success will crown the
efforts of these men,
Before the city can take over the
United Railroads it will be neces-
sary to submit a charter amendment
to vote of the people. That means
that every element in San Francisco
will have to get out and work for the
proposed charter amendment.
While organized labor is anxious to
see the city own and operate the
United Railroads, it is even more
anxious to see the platform men back
on the job as union men under
union conditions and wages. 1t is
only reasonable to suppose that or
ganized labor, its friends and every
citizen interested in the welfare of |

ter amendment until the imported |
strikebreakers have been sent back |
to the places from which they came
and the men now on strike are put |
back on the cars and paid a decent
living wage and accorded recognition
of their union.
The United Railroads knows this
full well, and as the company is
anxious to sell to the city, it is only
natural that the company will put

tion of the American Alliance for
Labor and Democracy regarding
strikes and other industrial and eco
nomic problems, the officers of the
Alliance issued a formal statement
bearing on these problems in order
that whatever Misunderstanding
there is may be removed.
A sudied effort has been made,
the Alliance charges, by pacifists and
pro-Germans to misrepresent the
Alliance. The statement issued sets
forth forcefully the exact character
of the organization and leaves no
room for doubt as to where it
stands with relation to such sub
jects as strikes, high cost of living
and profiteering.
The statement follows:
Whereas, There has been evident
misunderstanding on the part of
considerable section of the people
concerning present and recent strikes
of organized workers, the American
Alliance for Labor and Democracy
issues this statement through it's
officers:
"The organized workers of Amer
ica are engaged in a worldwide
struggle for democracy. They deem
it of vital Importance that democracy
be maintained and extended in Amer
lea and they will not countenance
any infringement of democratic
rights under cover of patriotism.
"We are confident that the Amer
lean Federation of Labor will not
sanction any interference with the
industrial processes of this country
when such interference has for it's
object the embarrassment of the |
American government.
"But the labor movement will not |
idle while employers seek to |
grind down the workers under the
pretence of war necessity.
"The United States Government
mas committed itself to a policy of
fairness toward labor. But the gov
does not control all indus
Try. Private employers have taken
advantage of the war situation to
'eek to extend the hours of employ
nent and to require intolerable con-
iitions. In many cases the en-
'loyees have revolted against such
processes and in some cases have
'een branded by greedy employers as
Inpatriotic because of such opposi-
ion.
'The first concern of this nation is
he well-being of its working peo-
lie. Its working people are the ,
