ANTI-SEDITION BILL

Harrisburg, Pat is stated that
organized labor will go to the courts
with an anti-sedition bill that has
been passed by the state legislature
and signed by the governor. The
house defeated the measure, but later
reconsidered its vote and then passed
it after debate that was marked by
much confusion. One law maker
raised the point of order that the bill
was unconstitutional because it in
fringed on the freedom of the press,
but he was overruled.
In discussing this legislation, the
Pennsylvania Labor Herald, Allen
town, said:
"At times the order in the house
was disgrace to the state of Penn
sylvania. Members could be seen
throwing paper balls at each other
like lot of school boys.
"We say without reservation that
any of the members of the legisla-
ture who are members of fraternal
or labor organizations who would at
tempt the same kind of behavior in
the meeting of these lodges as we
witnessed in the legislature would be
thrown out on their heads. Yet we
must not tell the public of these dis
graces or we will be charged with Sc
dition, as it may tend to cause dis
order etc. Well, this paper has
served notice before that we are 60
ing down the line with what we con-
slider our duty to the organized work
ers, Jail or no Jail, and we intend to
lay it on to those who are response
BILE for it,"

WON THE WAR
RAILROAD CONTROL A BIG VIC
TORY FACTOR
Critical Situation in 1918 Relieved by
Most Drastic Action in Railroad
History Which Changes De-
feat Into Victory

Washington-The operation of this
country's railroads under government
control saved the war for America
and the allies because a failure to
meet the food situation of the allies
in the first few months of last year
would have been an irretrievable
disaster.
This is one of the statements made
by former Director General of Rail-
roads McAdoo in a speech in New
York city, which is now being circu-
lated by the A. F. of L. railway en-
ployes' department.
The former railroad chief stated
that in February, 1913, the situation
was extremely black for the allies.
At that time he was invited by the
ambassadors of Great Britain, France
and Italy to attend a meeting in this
city, where written reports on the
desperate food situation were read.
"Grave as this message was" said
Mr.. McAdoo, "the situation as pre-
sented orally was much worse" 1t
was stated that the rations of the
Italian army had been reduced twice
and the French army once; that II
food was not Immediately rushed to
Europe, starvation would overtake
the civil population; that the armies
could not be adequately supported and
that defeat would inevitably result.
"There was but one way" contin-
due the ex-railroad official, "to get
the necessary food supplies to the
seaboard and that was to do one OF
the most drastic things ever done IN
the history Of American railrOadlng
send empty cars from the east to
the west with all possible speed and
regardless of cost and bring them
back as swiftly as possible loaded
with the necessary food supplies.
"The greatest heresy in railroad
management is to haul a car empty
when it can be loaded said Mr.. Nc
Adoo. But the order was given for
priority to box cars. Practically
everything was sidetracked as the
streams of empties started westward,
in charge of the workers who stood
at their posts throughout the storms
and blizzards of that winter, "suffer-
ing" declared the speaker, "from ex-
posure and overwork," that food
might be rushed to the eastern sea-
board.

NEWARK IN 1920
Important Meeting of System Federation

and Allied Lines Select Newark
for Next Meeting

committee on Bylaws, Bro. Wall
being chairman, and after several
long hours of work the new bylaws
were read and acted upon, which
practically took up a days session.
One Of the changes was raising the
per capita tax from SC to 1Oc per
member.
The Grievance Committee reported
on many cases too numerous to men
ton, especially on jurisdictional dis
putes, which were appealed to the
Railway Employees Department for
final decision.
Under the head Of new business
Bro. Fred Reed, representing Local
438 of Newark, Ohio, addressed the
convention that they should be given
consideration in the Federation.
The election of officers resulted as
follows:
President-Bro. Fullerton, machin-
lists, Washington, Ind.
Vice President-Bro. Murphy, car
men, st. Louis, Mo.
Sec.-Treas. = Bro McGee, boiler
makers, Cincinnati, Ohio.
Next in order was the place for
meeting next year. Cincinnati and
Newark were named, and after Bros.
Strear, Hill, Bowman, Miller, Wolfe,
Reed and myself told what the boys
do at Newark it was unanimously
,easried to hold the convention here,
which will bring about 25O delegates
to this city.
The convention closed with a
spirit Of good will toward all, and
malice toward none and by singing
one verse of America.
In conclusion wish to say that
the System Federation Convention
without doubt, was a grand success.
| also want to mention the hospitality
extended to the delegates by the Bal
timore brothers, who among other
things entertained us with a grand
crab feast, which was surely enjoyed
by all, as was also the privilege
granted by Mr.. Carroll, master me-
chanic of the Mt. Clare shops to visit
that place in body. These shops
are the largest on the system, and
the trip was greatly enioved by all.

acted during the past year. They
have handled during that time 1882
individual grievances which have
mostly been satisfactorily adjusted
by the B. &. R. r. Co. and the Fed
GRAFTON officers, only about ten or
fifteen have been referred to Ad-
justment Board No. 2.
The convention went unanimously
on record as favoring the Glenn E.
Plumb plan of government ownership
of railroads.
There were several jurisdictional
disputes settled, which goes a long
way in building a stronger federation.
1t is only young organization, but
through the cooperation of all con-
cerned we now have as strong fed
