The two million members of the
IA unions Of railroad laborers who are
threatening the people Of the United
States with serious loss, If not abso-
lutte disaster, by demanding an in
crease already granted, should remem-
Der that we have four million Ameri-
cans who fought for $50 per month to
save the United States from oppres-
sion from foreign foe and will, if
need be, fight to save this, country
from oppression and ruin from foe
within. The demand Of the railroad
employees that the United States gov
eminent take charge of the railroads
permanently and operate them in con-
junction with the members of the va
rious railroad unions, is absurd. It
is anarchistic, bolshevic and commun-
istie and the American people will not
stand for it. We have had about
of government control and
boosting of wages and freight rates
and passenger rates and bankruptcy
for the railroads and assessments on
the consumers to make up the losses.

GLASS OR

MAY RESIGN
Split Leads to Resignation
of u. S. Industrial
Board.
INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON. May 12.-The resig-
nation of either Secretary of Commerce
Redheld or Secretary of the Treasury
Glass. as result of their split that led
to the resignation of the industrial
board was believed to be a possibility
in official circles here today. Ever since
Secretary Glass sided with Railways
Director Hines, when the railroad ad-
ministration refused to accept the
schedule of steel prices formulated by
the board. the relations between him
and Secretary Redheld were known to
have been trifie strained. But follow
ing the issuance of statements follow
ing the resignation of the industrial
board. it became apparent that the
break was open.
The purpose of the board was direct
ed not to winning controversy. but
solely and simply 70 serving the coun-
try" was Secretary Redfield's parting
shot.
THE board was hopelessly committed
to an unsound and dangerous policy"
was Secretary Glass assertion.
At the same time former Secretary
Peek issued statement declared that
the organization was sacrificed TO po-
litical expediency
The possibility that President Wilson
might take a hand to smooth over the
differences that have arisen between the
two members of his official family was
believed possible.
