BARRIERS AVOID STRIKE.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Aug. e.
The BARRIERS union and organized en-
>ploVers have averted strike by COM

modating in regard to their. COM
plants.
This understanding suddenly un-
with the resignation of Imperial
Chancellor Won Bethmann-H ollweg.
That is certainly not an accident.
The fact is that Bethmann-Holl-
veg has some influence on the mill
tary power and was animated by the
earnest desire to investigate the JUS
titled complaints made by the unions
That can unfortunately not be said
of the present head of the govern
ment.; The district of the Sixth Army
Corps is in this regard again the
worst.
Restrictions of the right of COM
bination and assembly were only re-
scinded after complaint had been
registered with the ministry of war
at the instigation of General Wries-
berg, but immediately after the furi-
Gus. strike of the miners in upper
Silesia. which all the unions tried
to settle, were again introduced not
only in the district in which the
strike had taken place, but in the
entire district under the jurisdiction
of the Sixth Army Corps, and also
in Bresleau, where a strike had never
taken place. The only purpose which
can be determined is the suspension
of. the activity of the unions.
S"Through the order forbidding the
holding of meetings. which are just
what clears the atmosphere when
any discord arises suddenly, strikes
Of the widest sort are actually fur
thcred. In Silesia the authorities
act entirely according to the wishes
of the Privy Chancellor of Mines
Berger, who regards every union la
borer as a criminal and traitor
1T was the great strike wave

ruary Of this year which brou.

hardly any strikes taken place in
South Germany and above all in
dustrial and Socialist saxony?

FAILS TO WORK
Canadian Industrial Disputes Act
Being Patched Up By
Government.

OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. 22.-The Ca
madam can't-strike" law has cracked
and by the appointment of COM
act the government acknowledges
that the strikeless millennium, through
legislation, is not in sight.
The official .tile of the "can't-
strike" law is the canadian in
dustrial disputes investigating act,"
or popularity known as the Lemieux
act to the public generally and as
the lemon" act to organized work.
ers. 1t was passed in 1907 and
makes strikes against public utili-
ties illegal where the government is
not given time to appoint a commits
sion to investigate and make an
award. When the law was passed
it was given wide publicity as the So
luton of differences between capital
its and workers, and Mackenzie king,
who is credited with being it's spon-
sor, and who latef> joined hands with
the Rockefeller interests, imported the
idea to Colorado.
The Trades and Labor congress of
Canada has condemned the law. The
unionists say that the time the gov
eminent demands before strike is
legal is used by employers to strength
en- their lines and secure strikebreak-
ers. Another charge against the law
is that too much time isr used by the
conciliators, which is taken advantage
Of by the employers.
The governments new plan 70
patch up the law is a commission of
five-two employees and two employ
ers, they to select a chairman-Whose
decisions shall be final. While many
trade unionists are dubious of the
success of this plan, officers of the
trades and labor congress are deter
mined to make every effort to min
imize industrial strife, and have nomi-
mated John w. Bruce, Toronto. men,
Der of the Plumbers union, and Gus

Deny THEY ARE AGAINST
u. Government OPERATION
Railroad Men Have Everything to Cain From New
Order-rhey Are Loyal to=Government and
Expose Fallacy Of Charges. Is:

Duluth railroad men deny that en-
ployes are in the habit of blaming
the government for everything that
goes wrong with the railroads since
the government took them over.
They declare that petty officials
carry false reports to their superiors
for the purpose of discrediting gov
ernment> operation. They state that
an insidious campaign is being made
by stockholders to discredit the gov
eminent much in the same manner
as German propaganda is circulated.
This statement is made following a
circular Issued by Mr.. ~McAdoo, ap-
pealing to RAILROAD men to do their
utmost to make government opera
ton success. Mr.. McAdoo does not
charge that employees are guilty of the
offenses alleged. His appeal is most
friendly and reads as followsT
complaints have reached me from
time to time that employees are not
treating the public With as much con-
sideration and courtesy under gov
eminent control of the railroad as
under private control, and 1 have no
basis, therefore, for accurate COM
parison. I hope, however, that the
reports of discourtesy under govern
ment administration of the railroads
are incorrect, or that they are at
least confined to a relatively few
cases. Whatever may be the merits
of these complaints, they draw atten-
ton to question which is of the ut
most importance in the management
of the railroads.
For many years it was popularity
believed that the public be damned
policy was the policy of the railroads
under private control. Such a policy
is indefensible either under private
control or government control. It
would be particularly indefensible
under public control when railroad
employees are the direct servants of
! the public. The public be damned
policy will in no circumstances be toll
/ Grated on the railroads under govern
ment control. Every emDloye Of the
| railroad should take pride in serving
the public courteously and efficiently.
Courtesy costs nothing, and when it is
| dispensed, it makes friends of the pub

lie and adds.to the 4elt,respect Of the
employee 80" ~. $780,:
my attention has been called to
the fact that the employees have some
times offered as an excuse for their
own Shortcomings or as a: justifica-
ton for delayed trains or other diff
culties the statements "Uncle Sam
is running the railroads now" or
These are McAdoo's orders" etc.
Nothing could be more repreHensible
than statements of this character, and
nothing could be more hurtful to the
success Of the railroad administration
or to the welfare of railroad employees
themselves. No doubt, those who have
made them have done so thoughtlessly
in most instances, but the harm is just
as great if a thing of this sort is done
thoughtlessly as If it is done DELHI
erately.
"Thefe are many people who for
partisan or selfi1h purposes wish gov
eminent operation of the railroads to
be failure. Every employe who is
dicourteous to the public or who
makes excuses or statements of the
kind have described, is helping these
partisan or selflsh> interests to dis
credit government control of of rail-
roads.
Recently the wages of railroad
employees were largely increased, in
Volving an addition to railroad oper-
ating expense of more than $475,0O0,-
600 per annum. In order to meet this
increase, the public has been called
upon to pay largely increased pas
senger and freight rates. The people
have accepted this new burden cheer
fully and patriotica]ly. The least that
every employe can do in return is to
serve the public courteously, faith
fully and efficiently.
"A great responsibility and duty
rest upon the railroad employees of
the United States. Upon their loyalty,
efficiency and patriotim depends in
large part Americas success and the
overthrow of the kaiser and all that
he represents. Let us not fail to
measure up to our duty, and to the
just demand of the public that rail-
road service shall not only be eff
cient, but that it shall always be
courteously administered"

as long afterward as they are not
