LABOR SHARES IN
CONTROL IN FRANCE

At the same time that Congress
is clearing for railroad action with
the firm intention of turning the
railroads back to private owners,
and saddle the nation with all the
taxation which financial operation
entails, France also is wrestling
with a transportation problem.
But France is going at the prob
lem in another way France is tired
of chickering's and industrial tur-
MOL; tired of the exploitation of a
nation for the benefit of the few.
The termination of military con-
troll of the railroads in France, &C
cording to a news dispatch, marks
the beginning of participation in
control by the workers. Delegates
from all the different classes of rail
way workers and heads of depart
ments will share with boards of di-
rectors in operating the transporta-
ton system.
The plan of NJ. Claveille, Minis
ter of Public Works of France. bears
startling resemblance to the Plumb
Plan, advocated by railroad workers
of America. 1t is a recognition not
only of the right of workers to par
ticipate in management, but of the
imperative necessity of using the
knowledge of labor and of the
technical officials in an industry
which is vital to the life of the ma
ton.
The general press in France.
which is conditioned similarly to
American newspapers, is of course
looking askance at the undertaking.
But shippers and merchants. whose
customers have rebelled at ever-in-
creasing costs, are welcoming the
movement as the only remedy for
conditions now unbearable.

THE CENTRALlA RIOT

The deplorable tragedy at Cen

shad more causes than nave been

Chief among these causes was the
assumption of governmental func-
E1ions by political and business in
L1erests of that town. If the prop
eerly constituted authorities legally
detected and appointed to preserve
tthe peace had been given the infor-
tmation necessary to warrant them

happened But this was not done,
Enor did a group of business men,
particularly those in the lumber in

They wanted to discredit organic

with the 1. w. W, which does not

The organized employers know

flight two enemies-one using every
means, fair or foul to destroy it and
the other to disrupt it in order to
build upon its ruins an industrial
organization constructed on the mis-
taken ideas of the I. w. w.
These two enemies of organized
labor often work together. This

RAIL WAY SOLUTION
DEMANDS MORE TIME

WASHINGTON, Nov. at o
conference of members of the con
gressional labor group, officials Of
the A. +. Of L., its affiliated bodies
and the four great railroad brother
hoods it was agreed that proposed
anti-strike legislation should be re-
sisted and that government control
OF railroads should be continued for
two years that the people may
thoroughly understand this ques-
tion before final action is taken.
After the meeting President Com
pers made this statement;
During the decision the spokes-
men of labor outlined the position
of the 100000 workers they rep
resented as follows;
First That American labor will
exert its influence to the utmost
within the limits of the constitution
to defeat the vicious anti-strike
provisions of the Cummins' bill and
other measures of similar charac-
ter.
"Second-That in the opinion of
American labor the return of the
railroads to private ownership at
this time would be a grave mis-
take. Under plans proposed for the
return of the railroads to private
operation it would be followed by
increase of freight and passenger
rates of over 25 per cent. Either
result would shake the industrial
fabric Of the nation at the time
when a war-sick world is looking
for moral, financial and political
leadership.
"Third-In order to avoid these
calamitous consequences the mem
bers of congress present were
urged to introduce legislation con
tinuing government control of the
roads for two years from the con-
clusion of peace, This will afford
the American people an opportuni-
ty to consider the many solutions of
the railroad problem which have
been put forward.
The railroad question affects
the lives of all the people of our
country, who should be given OPP
portunity to acquaint themselves
with the various solutions proposed
that a mature judgment may be
reached. This problem should not
be subject for hasty consideration
and decision
1T was agreed that the legisla-
ton suggested on these questions
would be drafted at the earliest pos
sible date, and they should be press
ed very earnestly in both houses of
congress, and that every possible
effort will be made to defeat all leg
islation which aims to deny to the
wage workers their right to self
expression in matters affecting
their freedom"

| LAWMAKERS CRATE:
MINERS ARE Played

WASHINGTON. Nov. 15-Orators
had a field day in congress when
a Joint resolution declaring for the
enforcement Of obedience to and
respect for the constitution and the
laws" was passed by both houses
because of the mine strike. The ad-
ministration was endorsed in its
effort to vindicate the majesty and
power Of government
The resolution was a vehicle for
one of the most beautiful exhibitions
Of partisan anti-unionism ever
witnessed in Congress.
While the orators of both parties
were laundering, amidst the ap-
plause Of their colleagues, on the
necessity for constitutional rights
Federal Judge Anderson was issu-
ing his anti-strike injunction in In
dianapolis against the miners.
The feeling in the House was
shown when Congressman King
asked for the insertion in the Con-
gressional Record of a telegram to
Secretary of Labor Wilson from
Acting President Lewis, of the
United Mine Workers. This tele-
gram contained the miners side of
the controversy.
Congressman Blanton objected
and the Texas lawmaker declared
he would hang as high as Hannah"
the "autocratic anarchistic leaders
who preach revolution against our
government"
Mr.. Blanton was referring to the
coal miners, a group of organized
workers who sent $4,000 men into
their cOuntry's military service in
the world war against political auto
cracy. These miners are now de
nounced as "conspirators' while
the coal owners are permitted to
charge war time prices.

AS NEW BRAZILIAN
TRADE BOOM BEGINS
Twelve Steamers in Para Port
Only One is That of
American.

Para, Brazil, Aug. 6-(Corres-
pondence of the Associated Press
There were twelve steamers today at
the docks of the Port Of Para, the
"gateway of the Amazons." Com
menting upon this unprecedented ac-
tivity the Estado says it is long
time since such movement of COM
merce has been seen in this harbor.
Brazilians have been looking forward
to an increase in trade with the
United States and it was a matter
of keen regret that only one of the
were British, and seven Brazilian.
The American vessel will be here a
long time. She is the disabled ship
ping board steamer "Topocaxi."
Americans in South America feel,
it is said, that Notwithstanding the
stories of wonderful progress in
American shipbuilding during the
war, inspiring tales of smashed rec
ords in rivet driving, and finished
ships being turned out in marvellous
time at mushroom yards on the At
lantic, Gulf and Pacific coasts, it is
probably true that "haste does not
make speed" An American was
heard to ask today as he looked at
the flags flying from the masts of
Ia dozen vessels: care we being left
at the post ?"
U. S. Far Behind.
Henry S. Fleming, a New York
engineer, has just arrived here from
Liverpool He says that at each of
the four ports at which his steamer
touched he saw American steamers
in a disabled condition.
At Leixaoes-the port for Oporto,
Portugal-he said there were two
American ships in disabled condi-
ton; one was shipping board
steamer, the other one of the wooden
ships built during the war rush. At
Lisbon there was shipping board
steamer being repaired. At Funchal.
Madeira, there. was a privately owned
American steamer being patched up.
And upon his arrival here he saw the
"Topocaxi"
Rumors Of a similar condition in
other ports, he says. does not argue
we'll for American efforts to build up
first-class merchant marine. Among
the comment and questions heard
during a discussion of the situation
were many by Englishmen.
