THE WASHINGTON
TRIPLE ALLIANCE
NOT A NEW PARTY
&C. R. C0TTERELL.)


"The boys must get the idea clear
s,y in mind that The Triple Alliance
sisn't d new political party or a
f,th,rd party declared G. K. Cot
trell executive secretary OF the AL
sliance. when asked how the fight
Twas going. THE opposition is
Sf,gbting us as a third party. when,
5as a matter of fact, the Triple AL
sliance Is not political party at
8all. .....
THE Triple Alliance" he con-
#tinued. "is the machinery by which
! we intend to bring together the
fyoting strength of the producers OF
tnis State. 1t isn't party. separate
and distinct: it is merely the means
of assembling the votes Of the pro-
ducing class"
One recent sample OF an attack
on the Alliance on the alleged
grounds that II Is political party.
according to Mr.. Cottrell, vas dis
patch from Yakima. Thlo stated
that at an informal meeting OF
Grange leaders prior to tho Pomona
meeting in November It Was found
that rs per cent of the Changers
we're opposed to the Alliance, as 1t
was partisan politica; crganiz-
alton.
Another sample of thi: same
kind of an attack, he said, was the
appeal to the National Granse mas
ter from the ruling of the master
of the Clarke County Pomona
Grange, that the Triple Alliance
could be discussed at Grange meet
ings. The National master has just
ruled against the Clarke County
master; but the Political Welfare
Committee of the State Grange has
zone on record as endorsing the
idea of the Triple Alliance.
The idea of the Triple Alliance, .
continued Mr.. Cottrell, lis cooper
alton within the ranks of organic
ed labor, the farmers and the rail-
way men in order that they may
protect their own interests. This idea
is right in line with the principles
on which the Grange was founded.
Politics is defined as the science of
government, and | maintain that
ary Granger has the right to be
interested in the science of govern
ment. What the constitution of the
Grange does prohibit is the discus
sion of partisan politics, which is
absolutely right. But there is no
partisan politics about the Triple
Alliance, so I'm sure it's pure
enough for any Grange to discuss.
Get the thought straight-that
the Alliance is no new party, but
is the machinery for gathering to-
gether the votes of the producers;
and then you won't be stampeded
by any talk of the foolishness of
trying to win by third party. be-
cause you'll know that you won't
be in It. Keep cool and tell our
friend, the enemy, that he doesn't
know what he's talking about. Stick
together if you want to clean up
Washington in 1920. We can do it.
We have the votes. and we have
lIogram that's 70. the ben fit of
tie producers from start to finish"

THERE'S A REASON
AND HERE It IS!
One Reason Why Operation of
Railroads for Private Pro-
fit Is Expensive

III 10 ChpClIOINC
Sometime there will be an honest
inquiry into railway management
and when it is undertaken there
will be revelations that will prove
that other than a desire "to serve
the people" animates railway execu-
tives who are appealing to congress
to return the roads to private man
agement.
In August, 1918, committee of
citizens of Altoona, Penn, came to
Washington to point out to officials
of the railroad administration that
vast manufacturing plants establish
ed by the Pennsylvania Railroad
were available for the production of
materials then badly needed to sus-
tain the constantly growing de-
mands of Europe. 1t was represent
ed that while the nations industries
generally were feverishly active in
rushing supplies and equipment, the
magnificent shops of the Pennsyl-
vania, erected at a cost of scores
of millions of dallors, were work
ing but part time with greatly re-
duced forces.
The delegation was moved largely
by selfish considerations-it sought
to secure for the community it re-
presented some of the prosperity"
that was being distributed by the
government, through its various
war boards.
After giving close attention to
the statements made by the delega
tion's spokemen, the officials who
were interviewed declared that the
Pennsylvania's shops were antiqu-
ated and that there was then being
seriously considered a recommen-
dation that they be abandoned as
manufacturing plants and utilized
solely for making repairs to equip
ment.
Being tolerably familiar with the
plants in question, the writer, in
company with Congressman John M.
Rose, of the Nineteenth Pennsyl-
vania District, interviewed ]. T.
Wallis, superintendent of motive
power of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
then in charge of motive power
equipment for the railroad admins
tration.
'Is it true, Mr.. Wallis, that the
Pennsylvania shops are antiquated
and may be abandoned so far as
new work is concerned" Mr.. Wallis
was asked.
''It is not true" he replied.
"Why was it necessary, then, for
a committee to come here and plead
that they be untitled for war
work? There is a generally-h
opinion in several Pennsylvania
towns that there is very definite
purpose to hamper the government
and obstruct it's measures for prose-
cutting the war"
That's all bosh," Mr.. Wallis de-
clared, with heat I'VE constructed
more than 800 locomotives at AL
toona last year and that is the de-
partments's limit"
But these shops are operating
but fraction of the time, whereas
it is contended by good managers
that they should operate three shifts
daily, to reduce overhead burdens.
1--WE are now making the cheap
est and best locomotives in the
world"
What is the relative cost of To-
comotives built in your own plants
and those built by private manu-
facturers?" he was asked.
For type which has been ad
opted for general service, we pay
private contractors approximately
100000 and build the same engine
at Juanita for approximately
$4,000"

of engines manufactured by you and

ed, and it is the purpose of the Fed
Grafton to secure the re-operatiOn
of all International Unions to bring
about complete affiliation with both
Central Labor Councils and the
Federation, throughout the entire
State. This cooperation has been
assured, and President Short is
launching campaign throughout
the entire State. This cooperation
has been assured, and President
Short is launching campaign
throughout the State to bring about
this double affiliation and will ask
the cooperation Of all subordinate
bodies to aid in the work.
He conferred with the officials of
the railroad section of the American
Federation of Labor, the officers of
which have also pledged cooper
alton in bringing all of their To-
cal unions into direct affiliation
with the State Federation here. Cir
cular letters advising their locals
in this connection have already been
sent out. President Short accepted
an invitation from the railroad sec
tion at Spokane, while speaking
there Labor Day, to address a meet
ing of their section Immediately on
his return from the East. He plans
to address their section next Satur-
day night, and will launch a cam
paign for affiliation of all railroad
locals at Spokane, with the CO.
operation of the railroad section
there.
1t was impossible for him to
meet Gompers, while at Washington,
due to other illness and later, the
death of Mrs. Gompers father How
ever, he met Sec. Morrison and a
number of the members of the Ex-
ecutive Council, all of whom pledg-
ed their unstinted cooperation with
our State movement, and gave as
surance that henceforth, should any
matter affecting the work of our
State Federation here come before
the Executive Council of the Am
erican Federation of Labor for ac-
tinn that hn 10 hnr
would be notified in advance and be
given full opportunity to present
their side of the case. 1t was ex-
planned that the International
Unions had demanded of the Execu-
tive Council of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor that they issue the
ultimatum received by us in con-
nection with the o. B. L. referen-
dunn, pointing out that the Fedora
ton, in violation of its charter, was
interfering with the autonomy of
the International Unions. However,
when the actual position of the Fed
eratlOn IN tnlS connection was MADE
clear, assurance was given that in
the future should any question of
this character again arise that the
position of the Federation in con-
nection Herewith would be taken
into consideration before any action
by them was taken.
The results of this cooperation
would bring about Immediately
unifying of the entire city and state
movement, as well as increasing the
power and prestige of the different

we purchase should be rated at so.
Not one of the engines manufactur-
ed in our own shops has exploded.

Then, Mr.. Wallis. how can you

What logical reason can there be

MULES KEEP THEIR JOBS
They VIII still Kick in Army psspltS
the Increased Use Of Motor
Trucks.

Washington.-The chief Of the motor
transport corps has been authorized
by the war department to equip fully
the first seven divisions Of the regular
army with motor transportation. Mo-
tor vehicle equipment will be issued
in quantities limited to the mounts
necessary, not to exceed that prescribe
ed in tables Of organization for 1913.
The limitations mentioned are tenn
porary expedient, pending application
Of system which will provide for mo-
tor allowances based on the weight
of rations, ammunition and other sup
plies.
Consequently the authorization to
equip the seven divisions, now mere
skeletons, does not mean that the ira
dltional army mule is to be entirely
eliminated or that there will be no
further use for military and pack
horses.
