CONSTRUCTION
OR DESTRUCTION

CHICAGO, Aug. 2.-'Tt is either
orderly development or panic with
the inevitable rout," declared Pres
ident Perkins, of the Cigar Makers
International Union, in writing in
the official journal of that organ
ization on the need for trade union
lists to do their duty.
ut is either construction along
orderly lines" continues President
Perkins, cor over the precipice of
destruction by following destructive
leadership. Let us all have the
courage of our convictions and
stand manfully by the orderly, con-
structiye methods.
Men and women are the victims
of environment and conditions. We
don blame people who have been
forced to work for low wages, long
hours and under miserable living
conditions for holding resentment
and bitterness in their hearts and
minds. They have been brow
beaten, cheated and robbed by IN
scrupulous manufacturers; they
have been lied to by INSCRIPTIONS,
hair Drained, radical, self-consti-
tuted, would-be leaders, who have
unhesitatingly denounced the legit-
innate trade union movement and
the officers and members thereof.
"At this time and in this crisis
we ask the unorganized and others,
however, to look the facts squarely
in the faces to inquire what the in
ternational union is; to ascertain
from reliable sources who its lead
ers and it's officers are, and then to
consider for themselves what is best
to do"

The women, knowing their political
strength, as labor has learned to
know its economic strength, are
pressing every advantage. The col
lective bargaining" strength Of
these prospective voters is all the
argument needed in the number of
States necessary to give the re-
ouired three-fourths majority and
make woman suffrage effective
within the year. And be it said to
the credit of labor, that this latest
and most striking effort for free
dom is being given vast impetus by
men and women workers.
The spirit with which labor is

then they fail to compare increased
operating expenses with increased
costs of production and increased
costs of living. They try to con-
ceal that instead of public opera
ton we have had Government re-
juvenation, at the expense of the
public. of VIGOROUSLY neglected,
privately owned railroads. They for
get the hundreds of millions Of dol
lars paid in dividends for roads
which had to be rebuilt before they
could be used
Granting that railroad rebuilding
has been eXpensive-it was expens-
i've exactly in proportion to the de-
gree of neglect obtaining under pri-
waite ownership and control. The
public was compelled to assume, Off
hand, this rebuilding and a share
of control because private owner
ship could not provide the service
so imperatively needed. The ques-
tion of expense then was not an is
sue; the war had to be won despite
the cost. And the war was won.
Food and munitions went to the
seaports:; troops were carried to
training camps on time, and on time

No system of railroad ownership
and control has been proven a sue
cess. But private railroad owner
ship and control has been irrefuta-
bly, proven a gross failure.
Labor has agreed on it's plan for
solution of the railroad problem

Every member of organized labor

THE LATE WAR AND
THE RAILROADS

The man who bases his argument
for private ownership and opera
ton of railroads on the ground that
Eve tried Government ownership
during the war and found it a flat
failure" does not take the facts
into account.
Remember the time when the rail-
roads failed the nation in its great
est crisis? Overnight the country
was called on to change from a peo-
pie of peace, already over-busy feed
ing and supplying a world made de-
pendent upon us by European
chaos, to q war machine of magni-
tude unequalled in its history. And
it had to continue to provide food
for most of the world as well.
With one exception the test fully
was met. Hundreds of thousands of
men were taken from the factories
and put into uniforms, and the
keyed-up productive energy of the
remaining workers filled their
places. The farmer babe goodbye
to his son off to fight in war, and
returned to his fields to produce
the greatest crops of a decade.
There were bitches, it is true, in
60 fia1Cc ci6nrn6 in
relation to the gigantic task of the
nation, they were comparable with
a score of squeaking pulleys in a
thousand barrel-a-day flour mill.
But the railroads!
With all Europe calling for food,
and the country's granaries bullying
with food for Europe, the railroads
couldn't get it from the warehouses
to the seaports. With miles of
front-line trenches waiting for
American soldiers, troop trains
were taking weeks to make trips
which should have been completed
in hours. Munitions piled up on
factory sidings. The railroads had
failed.
Overnight, our industrial life had
changed. With every energy al
ready invested one hundred per cent
in war production, we needed to add
to our burdens the task of operating
a transportation system which had
failed in its owners hands. We
needed to produce thousands of To-
comotives, tens of thousands of
cars, lay mile after mile of track
locomotives and cars and track
which should have been built and
paid for years before, out of the
money which went into dividends
received by stock-owners in the
over-capitalized railroad companies.
To this great drain we needed to
add a dividend of 10 per cent
to these same stock-owners; hun
dreds of millions of dollars yearly
for the use of a railroad system so
vitiated that its owners could not
make it carry our men to training
camps or our food to ships.

tration, developed in a day to sur
prising efficiency, when compared
with the wreckage of private opera
ton, had nevertheless to depend
upon the cooperation of railroad
men whose private interests in the
roads made it to their advantage to
dlscredit as much as possible any
form of government ownership or
management. Now the private in
terests falsely point to the financial
results of such a condition for proof
of the impossibility of success of
any other system than private own
ership and private control. Even

About 10000 of the inhabitants
of Paterson, \. j., are employed in
the textile industry. About 80 per
cent Of these workers are morgan
lied. Their conditions are not
good. The Amalgamated Textile
Workers of America, the same
union which recently won the As
hour week without reduction in
pay for the textile workers of New
England, has been conducting a
campaign to organize a branch in
Patterson. Its efforts have been
stubbornly opposed not by the
workers, but by the city authori-
ties. For over a month the union
has been unable to hold a meeting

After much difficulty it succeed

that a business meeting of its mem

was not invited.

And four of them were taken to

some one thought of the New Jer-

provoke hostility or opposition to
