5 AIDS GET $4,000 EACH.

Washington, Sept. 2O.-Representa-
tive Thompson, of Ohio, charged in a
talk in the house that ~ officials of
the railroad administration, described
as "men on the staff of the director
general" are receiving annual sal
aries aggregating $2,398,00O.
Railroad administration officials re-
ceiving the big salaries were given by
Mr.. Thompson as follows: Five at
$4,000 each; two at $4,000; three at
$35 900; two at $4,000; eight at $685.
600; eleven at $4,000; one at $1S,5O0;
one at $4,000; one at SIT 800; six at
$4,000; one at $4,000; one at $751;
200; one at $12,500 four at $4,000;
one at 10,S0O; one at $4,000; and
twenty-three at $4,000.
The above extravagant expenditure
in the railroad administration office
might be responsible for the lack OF
consideration shown workers demands
for increase in pay. The officials are
getting all the cream which should
be divided because officials alone could
not operate the railroads of our coun-
try successfully.

The above resolution was presented
and put into effect as a means of pro-
lection for the progressive workers of

The parade of the 1000 workers
started promptly at 1920 a. IN. and
was led by the Allen band of Beau
fort, S. C. All union labor, represent
ing all crafts took part in this great
demonstration and those who wit
messed the affair admitted that it was
one of the most successful demonstra-
tions ever carried on jointly by white

disorder of any kind and we may ex-
pect the spirit Of cooperation to grow
and continue its powerful influence in
making conditions better. The new

accept in a cowardly manner the

LABOR UNIONS JOIN HANDS
WITH CO-OPS.

New York, Sept. 20.-Tre Tribune's
London correspondent sends the fol-
lowing story, dealing with the coop
erative movement in Great Britain,
from which is taken those excerpts ::
1.-THE great trade union movement
in Britain, with its 100000 members,
has decided to join forces with the
Union of British Cooperative So
cieties, with a membership of about
100000, in order to dominate pro-
duction and distribution in Britain.
This amalgamation will repre-
sent the greatest business combina-
ton in history. 1t will dwarf, in
power if not in funds, the gigantic
Federation of British industries, with
its capital of $20,000,000 900.
"The new combination is organized
to fight such organizations as the
British Federation. In its interna-
tional aspect the combined trade union
and cooperative movements will be
the greatest enemy of big business
interests throughout the world.
an Britain alone the combined
unions would include nearly three
quarters of the inhabitants. If the
organizers have their way it will be
invincible in the industrial field.
at is estimated that after allow
ing for overlapping of membership
the combined movements control
100000 adult members. Close on
100000 families would support the
trust and each of these families would
include on an average two adults and
three children.
"a joint advisory council of coop
orators and trade unions has been con-
stituted to draw up a plan of cam
paign for the new organization"

COLORED MEN ORGANIZE.

Ada, Okla, Sept. 20.-The organi-
cation of employers recently formed
for the purpose of intimidating and
preventing the formation of new
unions in this city has not been very
successful in its efforts. Despite its
announced antagonism, the colored la
borers have formed a federal labor
union and applied to the A. f. of L.
for charter, and propose, with the
assistance of the other unions, to
hereafter fix price on their labor
and have the benefits of a collective
bargain, which has heretofore been
denied them.

Most of the packing concerns seem
to have adopted plan through which
they can have it appear that the work
ers are stock holders and as such must
slave for an insufficient wage. This
is another dose of chloroform the cap
italists are trying to persuade the
workers to take. II the workers are
foolish enough to remain asleep, they
will awake one day and find that they
are not human beings, but merely ma
chinery used to produce profits for
others that they themselves cannot
enjoy. Eight per cent of 500 after
one year, stacks up rather small COM
pared with the investment in the or
ganization of $l2 per year and the
right to say under what conditions and
for what wages you will work, togeth-
er with the chances for redress that
could not be secured otherwise in case
of unfair treatment at the hands of a
fat-neck boss who imagines that he is
a young kaiser and has perfect right
to abuse anybody under his super
vision. How long will the workers
permit these men to make them such
promises?

G. w. Downing, recently appointed

He is at present comfortably located
in his own fiat on the South Side. We
won't give his address for several
reasons, for he may be surprised some
night by the members of his local
union and given hazing because he
failed to invite them to the wedding.

In checking up the net proceeds Of

that out of one family, approximately
