Organized With q Rush

But when the Federal government took
charge of the railroads the American Fed
Grafton of Labor promptly sent fifteen ex
perienced organizers to Altoona. In few
months thirty two trade unions had been
organized and combined in the Central La
Dor Union of Blair County, with a member
ship of between 10000 to 10000 workers,
not including the railroad brotherhoods,
and representing more than 80 per cent of
all Altoona workers.
AT the same time that Altoona workers
were being organized they also being
attracted to other towns by big war wages.
In this emergency the Federal management
and the labor unions got together, the
ganized workers agreeing not to leave their
employment while their wage demands, to
which the old railroad management had
turned deaf ear, were given hearing.
This agreement stipulated that any award
should be retroactive to the date of the
agreement. This stopped the food of i'm
migration from the Altoona shops to other
war industries. When the awards were
made wages, which had ranged from 38 to
az cents all hour, were advanced to 55 and
up to 68 cents an hour. This radical ad-
vance in wages looked almost like bribo
to labor from the old managements point
of view. IL was justified both on account

toona, Penn, has a plan of its own
which has the recommendations of having
worked out we'll for five months and having
met it's first severe test successfully.
The Altoona plan consists merely in conf
binng the vast majority of the people there
into one great welfare organization by join
ing the business people of the Chamber of
Commerce with the 10000 working people
represented in the Central Labor Union of
Blair County.
This plan was, of course, entirely too rad
ical for the oldtime, unyieldng corporation
officials. They promptly resigned from the
Chamber of Commerce. Nor did the plan suit
the /. W. W.-Bolshevik and other red radi-
Gals. They promptly resigned from the
Central Labor Union.

Rid of Both Extremes

But the upper and neither troublemakers
were in such a hopeless minority that it
makes no difference whatever whether or
not they participate. The great majority of
sane Americans get along splendidly with
out them and, indeed, are glad to be rid of
them.
AS Atoona's combined business and labor
forces look upon it, they have room neither
for the upper nor lower anarchists neither
for the anarchist who coins misery into
exorbitant dividends nor for the anarchist
who coins misery into revolutionary prop
aganda.
To understand just what has happened
in Altoona and why it faces the reconstruc-
tion period and it's industrial prob ems
calmly and confidently, it is necessary to
remember that Altoona always has been a
Pennsylvania Railroad town, absolutely
dominated in all its affairs by the big rail
road corporation.
In days gone by the railroad corporation
set it's face unyieldingly against any at
tempts on the part of the labor forces to
organize into trades unions. In 1911, when
Cornelius Gallagher, a daring organizer of
the American Federation of Labor, dis
regarding the experience of other labor
organizers, attempted to organize unions
among the workers in the big Altoona rail
road shops he was dubbed to death by
Charles Luther, railroad guard.
But while the workers of Altoona re-
manned unorganized and belonged TO no
labor union, they hocked to the Socialist
standards and had formidable vote in
1912
The radicals kept up their agitation and,
strangely enough, met with no railroad
opposition. SO unonism was sternly and
ruthlessly suppressed, while the radicals
took full advantage of official Indifference
and struck new roots every time another
labor organizer was driven out of town.
Thus it happened that eight months ago,
when the government took over the rail
roads, including the big Altoona railroad
shops, Altoona was strictly non-union. 1t
had some 1200 organized engineers, fire
men, conductors, trainmen and telegraphers
belonging to the five big railroad brother
hoods, which at that time: did not belong to
the American Federation of Labor and for
years had been considered harmless by the
railroad officials

1t is obvious that Mr. Clement Scott, the

Washington, Aug. 21.-Represent-
ative Gordon Lee, of the Seventh
Georgia district, who is now ranking
Democratic member of the house
committee on agriculture as result
of the appointment of Representative
Lever, of South Carolina, to the farm
loan board, called attention today to
the fact that the bill reported by the
committee to check the profiteers by
putt teeth into the Lever food
contr. law specifically exempts the
farmers and farm organizations.
But for the similar exemption in
the antitrust laws, it will be recall
ed, the department of justice would
have been obliged to prosecute farm
ers for agreeing to reduce cotton
acreage. Mr.. Lee expressed the opin-
ion that the farmer ought to be en-
couraged and not hindered in his
work as the ultimate solution of the
high cost of living problem. Il do
not look for any cheap farm products
within the next year or two,'' he ad-
ded.
