this afternoon that no strikers apply

back. He said that he could not change
this order before hearing from the
Attorney General.

this statement, which was interpreted
to mean that the Attorney General
would be asked to decide whether the

Churchill Is
Pilloried by
British Labor
Glasgow Conference Charges
He Misrepresents Russian
Situation and Demands
the Withdrawal of Troops

GLASGOW, Sept. ia slashng in
dictment Of Winston Spencer Churchill,
the Secretary for War. for his declara-
tion 'of yesterday regarding the delay
in the evacuation of North Russia by
British forces, was delievered by James
Henry Thomas, Labor Member Of Par
Lament, at the resumption Of the ses-
sion of the trades union congress
here to-day. Mr.. Thomas moved res
olution demanding that the troops be
withdrawn from Russia
Secretary Churchill, said Mr.. Thomas,
ment by Lieutenant Colonel Sherwood
Kelly, a voluntary officer in the north
Russian relief force, that British lives
were being thrown away in the
Archangel region, but, on the contrary,
the Secretary had threatened to punis
the colonel.
The congress enthusiastically adopt
ed the Thomas resolution, which be-
sides demanding the immediate with
drawal of the troops from Russia de-
manded the repeal of the conscrption
special congress for the taking of de-
cided action if the demands should not
be satisfactorily met
Robert Smillie, the miners leader,
in supporting the Thomas resolution,
said there would be no dodging of the
issue when the special congress was
convened.
In his statement on the North Rus
sian situation War Secretary Churchill
declared the policy of evacuation of
North Russia was being and would be
adhered to, but that the evacuation had
been retarded owing to the necessity of
bringing out many Russians who were
in danger of their lives from Bolshevik
vengeance, as we'll as women and chill

had been employed or that the British
government had accepted any respon-

A shutdown Of shipyards in Brooklyn,

upon whether 10000 machinists lay
down their tools at noon to-day in line

be no work for them when they report
Monday morning.

Strikes were actually initiated at
Tebo's Yacht Basin by 100 joiners and
rivet heaters. Representatives of the
strikers said the walk-out was ordered
to enforce a demand for the shorter

determined to maintain order at all

HAZarQS.
Although a man of quite different
and distinct type from Ole Hanson,
Mayor of Seattle and hero of the re-
cent general strike in that city, Gov
ernor Coolidge is no less emphatic in
his determination not to permit the
asccndcncy Of what he called the class
over the community idea in the ranks
Of city and state employees, Governor
Coolidge is not like Ole Hanson. In
steadh in the fashion OF the quiet, cul-
turcd New Englander, the Governor
presented the issue calmly, and en-
phatically rejected any idea of arbitra-
policcmcn's atfiliation with the Ameri-
can Federation OF Labor.
Raises Bolshvist Spectre
It is easily possible to draw an exag-
geratcd and lurid idea of the oc-
currences in Boston this week. One un-
der the influence of that social neuras-
thenia which is gripping the world to-
day might interpret the events of loot
and violence here as a dangerous sign
of deep social unrest and might
frghton the New Engander with
thoughts Of the degeneration and de
cadence of his idea of culture, law and
order. During this week Boston has
had an example of mob rule, the removal
! of ali those restraints without which
civilization cannot endure, and many
acts we're committed in view Of the
state Capital which in their nature are
associated with countries and peoples
who know little or nothing of the idea
of organized government. The police
in raising their banner of class interest
have also raised the vision of syndi-
calist and possibly bolshevist rule in
the United States by the threat of
union control of the armed forces of
city, state and nation.
boston has even seen this week the
establishment Of "a council of safety"
which sounds so much like "commit-
tee of safety" Associated with the
idea Of revolution. And yet one would
hesitate very much to interpret the
present situation here in any revolu-
tionary or ultra radical sense. The
policemen are hardly ready to join
"the red guard" nor can the volunteers
doing police duty and wearing white
bands as their insignia be dubbed "the
whito guard"
Disillusionment for Bolshevists
Men who know their Boston refuse
to see in the outbreak Of disorder here
any particular social manifestation
other than the action of disorderly
elements always ready to take advan-
tage Of a situation such as has con-
fronted this city in the last seventy
two hours.
There are few academic Bolshevists
out at Harvard who win no doubt sec
in the action Of the Boston police the
beginning of the fulfilment Of Lenine S
prophecy of Il revolution in the United
States, and will rejoice accordingly
but they will probably be brought back
to their senses, if not by the events
that followed the outbreak of the strike
and the quick action Of the authorities
at least by the sight cf tho Harvard
football players who have enlisted for
police duty.
The verdict of the average Bostonian
from Seattle, and as for Moscow
there is the Atlantic Ocean between
them and then some"

The following communique, issued

WASHINGTON, Sept 12.-Dispatches

Rail Brotherhood to

Chain of Mail Order Depart.
ment Stores and Factories
To Be Run

DETROIT, Sept. 12.-There is little
prospect of an immediate strike by the
100000 members in the convention of
the United Brotherhood of Manten-
ance of Way Employees and Railway
Shop Laborers, according to brother
hood officials, following closed ses-
sion of the convention this afternoon.
The question of a strike was not
brought to a vote.
The national committee, which con-
ferred with the railroad administra-
ton officials in Washington on wage
matters, made an oral report to the
convention, recommending, it was an
nounccd, that the organization abide
by President Wilson'S plea to accept 4
cents an hour increase and postpone
action on wage demands pending the
governments efforts to bring living
costs to normal The committee re-
ported that the Railroad Wage Board
has promised to standardize wages as
requested.
The convention also approved recon-
mendations by Grand President Allan
Il. Barker for the establishment of a
chain of departmental mail order stores
and entering various manufacturing
lines as part of the brotherhood plan
to fight high living costs.
FRANK MORRISON, secretary of the
American Federation of Labor, said
that President Wilson will secure for
members of the brotherhood standard
of wages that will enable them to live
in comfort unless living costs can be
returned to normal very soon.
Mr.. Morrison declared that the A. f
of l.. is unequivocally against |. w. w
ideals and the zone big union" move
ment. Responsibility for the l. w. w
rests, however, he said, not with the
workers but with tyrannical employ
