CARMEN ON STRIKE
At WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, March 22.-Organ-
lied employees of the Washington
Railway and Electric company have
been forced on strike because of the
company's refusal to recognize COL
lective bargaining and its advocacy of
individual contracts. The competing
line in this city, the Capitol Traction
company, has reached an agreement
with its employees.
The first named company has i'm
ported several hundred strikebreakers
and the nations capital has it's first
experience with this element. The
price of six street car tickets is rs
cents, but the thugs only give five
tickets. Numerous instances have
been reported of strike-breakers re-
fusing to ring up fares collected and
when, their attention is called to this
"oversight," the innocent citizen is
told to mind his own business
The company has refused peace
overtures by Secretary of Labor Will
son and has rejected the offer of it's
employees that the president of the
United States be asked to act as the
third arbiter. President Mahon of
the Amalgamated Association of
Street and Electric Railway Employees
is advising with the strikers, who are
affiliated to that organization.

SAY in national policies-even in the
decision of peace or war-does not
seem to have percolated far into the
minds Of the militarist leaders of the
administration. They have not defled
the labor movements program; they
simply cannot grasp the notion that
organized labor proposes to. help run
the country. They can't believe it, as
the big newspapers can. u
Government Ownership
At the offices Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor the belief was preva-
lent that government. ownership and
operation of the railroads was close
at hand. It was felt that the brother
hood membership has come to realize
within the past year, that they can
never again be at peace with the COM
panies, and that the sooner they take
the plunge into government owner

ernment employment, the sooner they

RAILROAD LOCKOUT
DECLARED LEGAL

INDIANAPOLIS, March 22.-The
United States supreme court has ruled
that railroads have the right to dis
charge employees for no other reason
than they belong to a labor union.
Because Of this fact, the proposed
anti-strike legislation that would pro-
hibit railroads from locking out their
employees is a joke, says Editor Nc
Nance of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen and Enginemen's
Magazine.
There never has and never will be
q lockout of railroad employees" says
this brotherhood official. $50 anti
quated measure has never appealed
to railroad corporations. A law to
prohibit lockout may calm the con-
science of scrupulous congressman
who is seeking a law to enforce in
voluntary servitude upon railroad en-
ployes, but it will not and cannot de-
prive railroad corporations of their
constitutional right to discharge any
or all employees for any or no reason
IF the lockout clause was inserted
In the proposed law to balance the
clause prohibiting strikes of railroad
employees, it,was a cruel joke that was
attempted by the framer Of the bill"
