TIE agreement recognizes the right
of the A. F. of L. affiliates to repre-
sent and negotiate for their respectiye e
groups. The following are some Of
the important principles established:
Eight-hour day, with extra pay for
overtime.
Abolition of piece work, bonus and
premium systems.
Personal injury cases may be
handled by committees or representa-
tives in the same manner as griev-
ances are handled
Rules for the handling of grievances
through committees with railroad eff
Gals.
Craft point seniority established and
definite avenues of promotion out
lined.
Rates of pay retroactive to May 1,
1919, and 80 days clause for amend
ing the agreement.
Where shop man is engaged out
side the shop, he shall receive his
standard pay. Formerly. if a ma
chinist, for instance, was employed in
signal maintenance he received a
lesser rate, but the agreement pro-
vides that a machinist is a machinist
regardless of where he does machinist
work.
Acting President Jewell of the rail
way shop employees department states
that this is the first national agree
ment ever secured by any labor organ
ization or group of labor organiza-
tions in this country. He shows that
all other agreements secured by trade
unions have applied to divisions or
sections of the country and that the
present agreement is the result of a
development of national federation,
starting with craft unions in the var
ious shops, then shop federations and
then railroad system federations.
These federations are now formed in
to four geographical divisions and ar

GUAM is A LOYAL ISLAND

How far EsSe people Of the Pacific
process of AmericaniZation is indicat-
ed In the current issue Of the Guam
News Letter, copies Of which have re-
Gently reached Seattle, Wash, the
Post-Intelligencer of that city states.
The island, which Is our cable outpost
for the Philippine islands and the ORR
ent, is governed by Capt. Roy G. Smith
of the American navy, under the over
sight Of the navy department. Cap
tain Smith seems to be developing a
very ardent brand Of Americanism
among the island people, who are
known as ChamorTos and have
strong admixture of Spanish blood.
The News Letter describes the cele-
bration of Washington's birthday In
Guam, to which the people fiocked
from all parts of the island, coming
by launch, owing to the absence of any
island highway system. The proceeds
of the various enterprises, amounting
to $1,270.55, were donated to the Red
Cross, and we gather that the program
Of amusement was purely American.
For instance, the "hot dog" stand
realized $108.94; Buffers soda, $685.
so; knock the cat down, $112.07; the
moving picture show, $3.50; the jit-
ney dance, $45.60; wheel of fortune,
S350.10; lemonade stand, $72.03; base
ball game, $16.40 From all sources
the Red Cross received $1,000, and
subscriptions were given for $4,000 in
Liberty bonds.
More than this, the island militia
had it's first parade. Some time ago
Governor Smith put into effect uni
versal military training law at the re
quest of the people, this being the
first portion of American territory in
which such law has been made effec-
tive. There are 1000 militiamen, the
government supplying guns and am
munition and the regular khaki uni
form Of the United States army. Seven
per cent of Guam's population is in
the militia, at which rate, IL we Of the
mainland kept up with the Chamorros,
we should have an army of 100000.
The flags and floats of the parade in
duced a tremendous enthusiasm in
the populace.

Sheriff Takes Blame
Says He Alone Caused Bis
bee Workers Deportation

Douglas, Ariz.- Harry C. Wheeler,
former sheriff of Cochise county, re-
fused to be discharged from connec-
tion with the deportation of 200 Bis
bee workers on July 12, 1917, and in
sisted that he be remanded for trial
and that the business men, gun men
and thugs who served under him as
deputies be discharged.
Despite proclamation issued By
Wheeler prior to the deportation the
county attorney announced that the
former sheriff would be dismissed
from any connection with the affair.
Wheeler refuses to step out of the
limelight and in public statement
said
II insisted upon being bound over
for trial on the charge of kidnap-
ping because am the manresponsible
for the deportations. The county at
torney said there was no evidence to
show that / had any connection with
the affair, but it seems to me that the
proclamation that | issued as sheriff,
July II, 1917, announcing that | had
deputized hundreds of citizens, and as
sumed full responsibility for the de-
portations should be proof enough
that had considerable enough to do
with the affair.
II have never denied any part in
the deportations and | am willing and
wish right now that all of the citi-
zens arrested and bound over so far
would be released, and I, alone, be
held to trial for any wrong that may
be charged The majority of the citi-
zens who took part in the deportat~
tions were my deputies and whatever
they did was in discharge of their dl-
ties as deputy sheriffs in my posse /"
