ALL NEWS OF THE RAILROADS

appeal to our membership, Mr.. Rich
ardson saw fit to attack me person.
ally in the communication sent by
him to our lodges on'the Pennsylva-
ria Railroad, to which 1 above re-
ferred. This is my answer and ad-
dressed to all lodges and members
on the Pennsylvania system.
THAT the interference and usur-
patton of such an irresponsible inter
loper as the said Richardson should
be resented by our membership goes
without saying. He comes as self
constituted leader of this schism of
his own creation and has demon
strated by the abusive and scurrilods
letter addressed to myself which ne
has circulated that he hates to hear
the truth about himself and his schis-
matte activities, said letter, from the
viewpoint of merit, literally or other
wise, being entitled only to classlfi-
cation as the vindictive rantings of a
common scold.
LAS further proof of Mr.. Richard
soEs connections with the labor
movement 1 am going to ask your
membership to read a pamphlet is
sued by the Railway Employees De-
partment' of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, entitled Facts Worth
Knowing beginning on page II and
continuing through the remainder
of the pamphlet. You may obtain
copies of this pamphlet from the or
ganizers of the Railway Employees
Department who are now stationed
at different terminal points on the
Pennsylvania system.
To Prevent Deception
please understand that my pur-
pose in going into this matter as
am doing is to prevent our members
being deceived and to defend the
position of our brotherhood against
an unjustifiable attack which might
be misunderstood by some of our
members unless they were fully ac-
quainted with the facts bearing
thereon. Besides this 1 am earnestly
desirous of preventing honest work
ingmen from being misled into an
organization whose logical function
ing could only mean obstruction of
the work of the legitimate labor
movement and disaster to them
selves.
Remember. brothers, any person
who aims a blow at your brother
hood directs that blow at your own
industrial and economic interests for
such blow would seek the undermin-
ing of the protective and insurance
features of your order. Such per-
son is necessarily an arch enemy of
the great cause of industrial emanci-
patton and freedom for which your
brotherhood has been so determined
ly, so persistently and so effectively
fighting. And, of course, in no other
way could the purpose of the railway
magnates who desire the destruction
of not only our organization but all
organizations and who are eager to
prevent effective organization among
shop employees be better served.

TIMOTHY SHEA,
Acting President"
