Senator La Toilette Points Out
Danger Of Putting Anti-Strike
Clause in Cummins Bill

WASHINGTON, Dec. i1.-As a
member. of the senate committee on
Interstate commerce, Senator LaFol-
lette has filed a minority report in
which he dissents from the "can't-
strike provision and other features
Of the Cummins railroad bill. The
report closes with this significant
paragraph:
"A government which contemplates
no wrong or injustice to labor in the
United States has no occasion to take
from it the one weapon by which it
mas won Its way up from serfdom-
the right to strike''
I'm all the hearings before the COM
mittee which had this bill under con-
sideration," continued Senator LaFol-
lette, II heard no argument advanced
in support of this proposition except
that the failway men of this country
might go out on strike, and So per-
feet was their organization that they
could thereby paralyze transportation
and deprive millions Of people of food,
fuel and clothing.
1T seems, however, not have oc-
Cured to the supporters of this bill
to inquire how monstrous the wrong
must be which would ever lead the
men of the railroad unions Of this
country to adopt such a course, nor
to consider that the men themselves,
through their families and depend
ents, aggregating more than. 10,0O0,-
600 people, would be the first to feel
the pinch Of want and suffering that
would come from such a strike.
Nothing can ever lead to such a
strike I'M this country except a wrong
SO .intolerable that men are willing
that they and their families as well
shall face starvation before they SUBJ
nit to the wrong.
"You con no more legislate men
out of their right to strike in this
country than you can 1egislate them
out Of their religious faith or their
political belief. There are some
things from which, if the govern
ment is wise, it will withhold it's
hand, and the right of labor to strike
is one of them. The strike clause
of this bill ignores all the knowledge
which can be gained from a study
Of similar legislation in England and
the United States from the first
Statutes of Laborers' down to the
present day.
I'm 1349-50 England passed various
statutes compelling a man to serve
whoever required his service. A
distinguished English historian tells us
that:

was to check the rise in wages con-
sequent upon the pestilence called the

that communistic methods are a
complete failure from the point Of
view of economics. The Bolsheviks
are now saying in their papers that

PR0F|TEERS and
HOPE FOR PEACE
Vice President Wo|I Of 4. F. Of |
Points Out to Chairman viii
Hays Way to Order.

WASHINGTON, Dew. 11.-Domestic
peace and social order will not result
through a policy or deporting "reds''
and coddling profiteers, declared A.
F. Of L. Vice President Woll in
letter to Will H. Hays, chairman of
the Republican national committee, in
reply to a query by the latter re-
garding labor's view on social and
industrial questions.
The trade unionist's answer includes
several thousand words, and it's tone
is indicated by the following:
1T is a sad mmentary upon the
history and development Of our land
that the state and nation, instead Of
maintaining a just, fair and natural
equilibrium Of personal rights. privi-
leges and relations. not only UNDER
took to place arbitrary corporate
powers and advantages in the hands
Of a few, but at the same time under
took by affirmative action to destroy
or render ineffective the hope and as
piration Of the great mass Of our
people-the workers-to protect
themselves against the exercise Of
these great corporate powers dele
gated exclusively into the hands of a
few to dominate the lives and destiny
of the many without restraint or lin
itation."
The trade unionist opposes the CIV
ing charter rights to corporations that
deny their workers the right to bar
gain collectively.
UNLESS such q check is placed on
the corporate powers, now granted to
the. state by individuals. the domestic
conflict which Is now raging in the
midst Of us cannot and will not be
permanently ended.
ut should also be remembered that
fro mthe inception Of modern civiliza-
ton: the privileged few, either by an
alleged divine right, hereditary as
sumption or by legislation, have put
property rights, most of which were
stolen rights, above human rights.
We have now reached a period of
civilization when men should be
placed before and above the dollar.
Activities and results with this end
in view should not and cannot longer
be ignored with safety to the nation
and our people.
"If we are to remove the existing
unrest, it is essential that criminal
profiteering shall be put to an end.
The cost Of necessities has gone up
with leaps and bounds, and this in
crease has not been due to propor-
tionate increase of labor cost. On
the contrary, the workers have been
unable to keep pace with the ever
increasing cost of the necessities OF
life, and as long as this condition
exists serious discomfort and unrest
will prevail.
ITO .deport the reds and at the
same time coddle the prof1teers will
not bring us to state Of domestic
tranquility

UNDER NEWEAW
First Trial Under California Anti
SyndiCa|ist Law Hits Leader
Of Coast ''Reds,"

OAKLAND, CAL, Dec. Thames
McHugo, an I. w. W. organizer on
trial here for criminal syndicalism
under California's new anti-syndical-
ism law, was found guilty after a.
brief deliberation by the jury This
marks the first decision under the
act and it is regarded as important
as affecting the legality of the I. w.
W. in this state. The law provides
for from one to fourteen years i'm
prisonment as punishment. Mr.. Nc
Hugo will be sentenced tomorrow.
Among evidence introduced in the
trial was a resolution said to have
been adopted by the general executive
board Of the I. W. W. at a meeting in
Chicago last August, to the following
effect:
"The time has come for the I. W.
w. to assume it's proper place as the
American unit Of the Workers Red
International and to establish closer
relations with the groups Of the same
or similar principles in every country,
such as the Communists of Russia,
Hungary, Bavaria, etc. the Spartacists
Of Germany, the Syndicalists of
France, Italy, Great Britain, and
other countries, and the industrial
unionists of Canada and Australia.
Therefore, be it resolved. that the L.
w. w. shall create a committee on
international relations which shall at
once establish and maintain corres-
pondence and fraternal relations with
such aforesaid revolutionary groups
throughout the world and shall pro-
vide for the representation of the L.
w. w. as constituent member of the
Third International"

SEATTLE, Dec. 11.-Workmen en-
ployed by the Seattle Post-Intelli-

"a thing without parallel in the his

common with many other coast pap
ers, has been preaching silk-hat an

lutions stating the plain facts about
what the paper had been doing and
forced the paper teskflnt them on the

The resolutions read, in part, as
follows:

others-we have been able to endure
them in the hope that at last truth

But there must be a limit to all

pravity as a newspaper, your shame
less disregard Of the laws of the land,
your haterd of opposition, your reck-
less policy Of appeal to the passions
Of citizenry, reached depths Of malice
and malignancy hitherto unbelievable.
It is nothing less than excitation to
violence, stark and naked invitation
to anarchy.
Wherefore be it resolved, by the
whole committee of your organized
employees in meeting assembled, that
If your business management can not
dem onstrate it's capacity and sagacity,
If your editorial directing heads must
remain blind to the thing they are
bringing us to; If together you can
not see the abyss to which you are
leading us-all of US; if you have no
more love for our common country
than is manifested in your efforts to
plunge it into anarchy. then as loyal
American citizens-many of us ex-
service men who very clearly proved
our faith in America and its institu-
tions-we must, not because we are

>BRADDOCK, Pa, Dec. 11.-State
troopers have discovered a new
variety of rioting. 1t consists of the
funeral of a steel striker. The fol-
lowing is taken from The Daily
News Herald, published in Brad
dock, and, as even a superficial
reading shows, is not favorable to
the strike:
Estate troopers, squirting their
horses into a procession of march
ing men in Braddock avenue, near
George street at 8 o'clock this morn
ing broke up g. threatening demon
stration by strikers. The crowd
which was dispersed was estimated
at 400 men. They fled in all direc-
tions, disappearing up alleys, into
houses and over fences.
''The- procession had formed in
the rear Of a funeral cortege which
was moving to S. S. Peter and Paul
Greek Catholic church in George
street, police said. The state troop
ers were Immediately notified and
charged down Braddock avenue. The
galloping horses swept into the
crowd hurting MEN right and left
and causing scores to flee for their
lives. Within few minutes the at
tempted parade had vanished"
The Braddock troopers seemed to
be out after the Cossack record.
Some of their most notable achieve
ments in this town have been rid
ing up the church steps to disperse
attendants at the church service:
