CARRETS0N SAYS
RAILROAD LABOR
MADE NO threat
Former 0. R. c. Chief Answers
Those Who Say Brotherhoods
Held Up the Government.

The following statement was made
by A. B. Garretson, former president
of the Order Of Railway Conductors,
in answer to the charge that the big
brotherhoods held up the government
when the Adamson act was passed:
Representative Cooper has referred
to the passage Of the Adamson act.
can say something here today that
I could not say during all the days
when held office in the labor union
as the head of one Of the big brother
hoods. The brotherhoods and myself
by name were pilloried from the
Atlantic to the Pacific by innuendo,
aspersion, cartoon and editorial. as
compelling the president and congress
to do certain things. I want to an
swer one statement in this record,
because this very possibly the last
time that I will appear in the ca
pacity in which T now appear, for
I am just a private citizen now.
Unwilling Participants.
"The point 7 want to make is that
the four brotherhoods. in being forced
on to congress regarding the passage
of the eight-hour act, were unwilling
participants. Only the influence, the
power and the personal prestige of
the president Of the United States ever
got us there. We came there on his
demand that we should come there for
adjudication of the question that we
desired to settle by our own methods.
But, out Of regard for the interest
that the President had shown, and
respect for the position which he held,
and our respect for the office of chief
magistrate, we accepted his request
to transfer the matter in controversy
to the halls of congress. No living
senator or representative ever heard
a demand from one representative of
the four brotherhoods as to what they
should do.
Asked to Delay Strike.
"Now, before the interstate COM
merce committee of the senate, the
day before the Adamson bill was
passed, a request was made on the
four to know whether or not they
would defer the hour of the strike.
That request had been made by the
President of the United States two
days prior to that time. The three
associates of mine stated to the COM
mittee in open hearing that they did
not possess power to do the thing re-
quested, but that I would answer for
the four. I answered that had the
power, but that refused to defer. I
told them why, and after otld them
no further request was made for de-
ferring nor were there any methods of
coercion used on any member, and
there is no member of the present
congress who was a member of that
congress, who will challenge that
statement. There are many men here
who were members Of that congress
and present at that time. I challenge
any one of them to question the cor
rectness of the state have made. I
wanted just this chance, Mr.. Chair
man. to make that a matter of record
with regard to the talk about holding
a stop-watch on congress.

a large extent-can be inveigled into
this convention and there be politely
frozen out after pledges have been ex-
acted to abide by convention actions.
II pledges to this effect won't be given
then the time-worn trick will be en-
ployed of appealing to what gangsters
call honor-which in their language
must be done.
- Tried to Put 1t Over.
They tried that in the special con-
gressional election this summer when
Oscar E. Keller. labor's candidate. was
elected to congress from the Ramsey
county district. Congressman Keller
was chosen by a majority of over
5000 votes to succeed the late Con-
gresham Carl c. Van Dyke. one of
the truest friends labor ever had in
congressional halls. Congressman Van
Dyke had been elected three times
by labor's vote.
The old gangs. both Republicans
and Democrats, in Ramsey county
were desperate. Congressman Van
Dyke had them whipped to a stand
still through his labor backing. They
knew that. but when death suddenly
took him away they set to work to
defes- the will of labor in the naming
of his successor.
Anybody in Ramsey county knows
that If a primary election had been
held Mr.. Keller would have been the
overwhelming choice of the rank and
file of the Republican party. The
gang rulers of the party knew this.
Therefore they didn't want primary
election. In a convention they knew
they could prevent the nomination Of
M. Keller as a party candidate.
Could Not Stop Him.
SO they convened. They did pre-
<ent Mr.. keller's nomination, but they
could not stop him from running as
1abor's candidate on an independent
ticket. However. they made the plea
throughout the campaign that because
Mr.. Keller's name was presented to
the convention as candidate and be-
cause OF his failure to win the non1i-
nation in this hand-picked and manip-
ulated body he vas "honor bound
and his followers likewise were bound
to abide by the convention action.
Mr.. Keller and labor submitted this
proposition to the voting public OF
Ramsey county for their opinion. BY
virtue of the expression of public
opinion Mr.. Keller now is. serving in
congress. His first act in behalf of
labor was to start the nation wide

tinues, food and clothing prices are
as high today as they were a week
ago. Seizure of poultry, sugar and
butter, and sale of army food to the
public has not yet affected the retail
prices of these articles.
Duluth Prices Higher.
Price lists which have been re-
ceived in Duluth during the past week
show that some articles are cheaper in
the Twin Cities than in Duluth. Why
this condition exists, local Investigators
are now trying to figure out. Local
merchants say that it is not true that
it costs less for foodstuffs and cloth
ing in the Twin Cities than here, and
when confronted with grocery adds
from the Twin City papers, listing the
days prices. they say that there is
bound to be a slight variation in
prices between here and other cities
from day to day.
Local merchants can offer no rea-
sonable explanation why there should
be a difference in prices between here
and the Twin Cities. Local citizens
do not intend to be Disseminated
against in favor Of the Twin City pub
lie, and any evidence that shows
that there has been a wilful attempt.

CoSSAcKS AND RUSSIAN REGENERATION

Writing upon the topic The Cossa cks and Their Role in the Regeneration of Russia, Prof. N. A. Borodin has the following to say in Struggling Russia, a New York publication, opposed to the Bolsheviki:
 Practically in every despatch from the name Cossack-Cossacks from the Kuban and from the Don. and at an earlier period. the Cossacks from Or enburg. the Ura1 and Siberia were just as frequently mentioned
 It is therefore well timed at this moment to impart some general infer- nation about the Cossacks and to state some facts concerning their par ticipation in the struggle with the Bolsheviki during the years of 1918 and 1919.
 The Cossacks are a fighting body of men, consisting principally of small who settled along the former frontiers of the Russian state and along the banks of the big rivers.
 AS a reward for their service in and in recognition of the fact Of their conquest of the lands where they set tied, the government gave to the Cos sacks permanent grants of ownership of the soil and the right to enjoy un- molestetlly all it's wealth and appen- dages. They were given the right to coordinate their inner life in accord = aface with their own choice and twill, but were required to furnish, in ex- change, certain number of armed men equipped at their own expense. The free Cessack communities were ruled by elected elders (starshinis), with an elected ataman at the head. The ataman was the chief military commander and was elected by the s.circle Assembly,. The economic life and the administration of the indi- viduaI settlements was based on the same principles of democracy. with elected 3t self governing unit. The CossaclSs never knew the institution of serfdom, and the land was distributed in most of the Cossack communities among the members of the settlements, in quite a proportional and just manner. Strangers were admitted into the Cos sack communities only by una nimous consent.

HUMAN ENDURANCE WINS.

For super endurance and ability live in spite of battle injuries that were enough for a whole platoon of soldiers, the record of an American army man which has just come to light serves to indicate the tremen- dous power of resistance and recuper- ation in the normal healthy human body. Sergeant John G. White, Com pany c, 18th Infantry. has come back from the five major battles in which he participated. bearing sixty -thf ee separate and distinct scars as souve- nirs.
 So far as army officers are able to tell now Sergeant White is the only man in the American army entitled to wear five wound chevrons. a ehevron indicating wound condition and not the separate wounds. The surgical records show that he still carries five bullets in his body. that he was shot now partly disabled, and that he car ries various numerous knife, bayonet ard shrapnel wounds. He is accredit- ed with three individual citations and wears the Distinguished Service med al and the Croix de Guerre He is a regular army man with fourteen years service to his credit, and in spite of his experiences is able to get around and ride 3 motorcycle.
 The human frame cannot be such a weak and feeble creature after all when it can emerge triumphant from such an experience as Sergeant White had.

Sunday Morning Talk
THE SABBATH REST.

One very simple and effective way of finding out what you are doing with your Sabbaths is to find out what your Sabbaths are doing for you. It is not so much a question of whether this occupation is right and that one wrong, whether you may go here or may not go there. but of what the day brings to you, body and soul. Circum- stances vary, temperaments differ, and nc one can be a law to another. but the law of Sabbath rest is for all men. It is older than the tables of stone-as old human need.
 If you find that your Sabbath has made your faith clearer. your heart more tender: if it has quickened good impulses and awakened higher aspira- tions; if it has made family ties closer, and God and heaven seem nearer; if you both look forward to Monday z task with fresh courage and a desire to be more helpful to all around you, then the Sabbath has fulfilled it's blessed mission for you. But if it brings none of these things. then. whether you have spent it in so-caIled recrea ton or in church going and Bible reading, be sure you have pro- famed your Sabbath.
