Traffic Tieup December I, To
Force Wage Raise, Is
Threat Made.
OFFICIALS MAKE DENIAL
Caution On Their Part Laid to Fear
Of Injunction Order Restraining
Walkout-Plan Secretly
Discussed.

Chicago, Nov. 26:-National leaders
of the four great railway brotherhoods
held a secret session at which t. 3;
insistence of many local unions th&s
general strike OF all railway work
ers in the United States be called De.
cember to enforce demands for gen.
eral increases in pay was given serl-
GUS consideration according to IN
formation obtained from union railway
men. 1t was said by one union official
that many of the delegates who are
now in Cleveland went there with the
specific purpose of forcing the general
committee to call the nationwide
strike.
1t became known that the Kansas
CITY local of the Brotherhood OF Rail
way Trainmen had telegraphed ma
tional officials of their organization
taking permission to call a strike OF
trainmen and yard1nen at once. 1t
was reported that the national Off
GERS replied in such way as to leave
the question entirely open and subject
to the decision of local officials.
No Motions Yet Presented.
The union officials in Chicago from
whom the information was obtained
stated that so far as hey were aware
the secret conference in Cleveland
had not yet reached the point where
resolutions or motions for the strike
actually had been presented, but that
the discussion concerning it, accord
ing to their information, was favor
able to the project and that the tie-up
could be expected within three days.
A similar announcement was made at
the convention of the newly organized
labor party here.
Buffalo, Detroit, Pittsburgh and st.
Louis were declared to have been
among the cities whose locals were
particularly insistent that strike be
called in view of recent government
statements to the effect that general
advances in the pay of railway work
ers could not be considered at this
time. The IL locals Of Chicago rail-
way men, it was said, had voted I'M
animously in favor of the strike and
that a resolution asking for strike
decision had been sent to w. G. Lee,
president Of the Brotherhood Of Rail-
way Trainmen.
Other union officials who discussed
the situation insisted that their names
be withheld from publication In con-
nection with the information they
gave. Fear of possible restraining or
ders directed at them in event Of a
strike, was said to be the reason, and
in that connection it was stated by the
same officials that the higher officials
of the organization most probably
would deny positive knowledge of the
situation.

A Washington dispatch dated the fore
part Of the present month, says that al
though numerous universal military
training bills have been introduced IN
Congress-, an informal poll of the mill
tary committee Of 81 members, showed
but seven members favorable to this
military idea. It further states that
the situation developes through reac-
ton among the people against anything
which in their judgment tends toward
militarism. The action Of the South
ern Methodist conference at Green
vile, N. G., last month opposed unlver-
sal training, and passed the following
resolutions:
"Thcre is bill pending before our
national Congress which, if enacted in
to law, will require of the youth Of this
country universal military training.
This, we believe, would foster unduly
in our young men, unacquainted with
actual war, spirit of militarism from
which in the past we as a nation have
been happily free, and against which
we should guard with constant jeal-
ousy, because we desire nothing that
smacks of German militarism, even
though it bear the name Of American
militarism.
Furthermore, there is no need of
universal military training in the in.
term Of war in order to have good
soldiers in time Of war, as our whole
past history proves most convincingly
by the fact that our armies have been
uniformly victorious. The fighting rec
ord of our boys in France, to say moth
ing of the government g proud boast
that the recent war was fought in or
: der to prevent future wars, proves most
conclusively that universal military
draining should not be desired and is
not needed for national security, or for
American victory if war should be
thrust upon US.
"We, therefore, as patriotic Chris
tian organization, set for the triumph
of the gospel of Jesus Christ, repectful-
ly urge our senators and members of the
house to use their high Offices and per.
sonal influence to prevent the enact
ment Of law requiring universal mil
itary training, or any other law that
will unduly foster militarism.

Jordan Independent: Alaska quite
properly points out that "Seward g
Folly" was no folly at all, but very
wise investment. When Seward agreed
to have Uncle Sam buy Alaska from
Russia for $7,2oo,0oo many claimed that
it was good transaction-for Russia:
In the SO years since the purchase of
Alaska has shipped out nearly $4oo, ooo,;
900 of minerals, some $s0,00o,oO0 of
furs and nearly $300,O00,OoO of salmon,
cod, halibut and other food fish. They
claim to have 64,OOO,OO0 acres of farm
ing land up there, with conditions for
agriculture as good if not better than in
Finland, whose farm products alone
support we'll populated country. It
looks today as though the purchase OF
Alaska was good transaction for the
United States.

3 KILLED IN POSSE BATTLE.
Twelve Men Wounded In Pitched
Fight In Louisiana Town.

Bogalusa, La, Nov. 24.-Three white
agitators, defending a Negro wanted
as race war inciter, were killed and
a dozen others wounded, one probably
mortally, during a rifle and pistol bat
tie here between the Negroes white
protectors and members of the Law

The battle started when the armed
radicals, who had served as a body
guard for a Negro accused of spread
ing I. W. W. propaganda for battle
between the races, refused to sur
render the man to the posse, which
had a warrant for his arrest.

Duluth Herald: Though Mankato is

could not stand up there under the in
creasing pressure of high costs of pro-
duction-such as paper, which sold at
two cents pound few years ago and
is now hard to get in sufficient quanti-

disappearance Of one of them was in

Years ago, in New Orleans, when bur

Years ago, in New Orleans, when bur
glars had a job in sight, they would set
fire to steamboats, in the river, and II
the hubub caused by the fire, would get
away with their booty. It would seem
that certain great interests in this
country are following the same plan, by
wholesale accusations against working
men and their leaders, creating feeling
and under cover Of storm, continuing to
loot and profteer. The workers have
made many mistakes, are often unwise
ly led, but they should not be given all
the blame. Let us have as much feel
ing, as much determination, to punish
profteers of big business, looters OF
franchises and natural resources, as we
have to restrain the organized workers
and farmers, and things will be adjust
ed. They will never stay adjusted ii
adjusted from one side only.

Red Wing Eagle: So much use is be-
ing made Of the word propaganda, -
that an explanation of its meaning is
quite germane at the present time. The
New York Sun very aptly defines prop
uganda as the science or art Of infuenc-
ing public opinion in favor of OF
against an institution, a brand of soap,
school Of art, a dynasty, motor car
political candidate, a maker of steel
pens or anything else which engages
the propagandist 8 energy.
It is carried on by means of publicity
tiers to the editor, pamphlets, lectures,
interviews, extracts from state papers
and formal addresses by dignitaries in
and out of office, catchwords passed
about in the crowd and everything else
which may appeal to the senses of those
who are to be Influenced.
