BIG EMP LOVERS
WILL DIRECT
ATTACK
Railway Brotherhood Plan
Of Adjustment Board Also
Under Fire From "Slave
Owners Of Country.

Chicago, Dec. 22 Manu-
facturers Of the nation today
served notice on union labor
that an intensive drive against
the "closed shop" HAD been
started, when William Butter
worth issued a call for a con-
vention Of the big employers
OF the country.
Butterworth is president of
the Illinois Manufacturers as
sociatlon and vice president OF
the United States Chamber of
commerce.
Butterworth, in an open letter, at
tackled the plan of the railway broth
erhoods who, he said, demand the
establishment OF a national board Of
adjustniknt%tto handle all labor trou-
blcs instead Of individual companies
handling their own, industrial af-
fairs. !Hssasaid. that it the brother-
hood Succeeded in their plan it would
influence all other Industries.
The plan OF the brotherhoods
means that closed shop and union
domination over AL industries
alike, = said Butterwortl,. This is
the most vital question facing the
manufacturing and producing inter
csts of the country and should have
Immediate attention.
The brotherhoods want to estab-
lish all adjustment. board under the
authority Of the transportation act
passed by congress, which provides
TOR a national board having juris-
diction over railway employees wages
when controversies are appealed to
it. The act provides the adjustment
board may be established by agree
ment of labor and the employers.

JOKER FOUND IN
RUSS TRADE.
RULING
To Protect French Bankers
Claims, u. S. Refuses to
Assay Bolshevik Gold Of
fered for Goods.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 22 q
Another double-cros has
been given by the state and
treasury departments to the
labor and other interests in the
United States, seeking to break
down the blockade around
Soviet Russia. Gold cannot be
paid to creditors here by Soviet
Russia.
Treasury officials admitted
10 Charles l9echt, counsel for
the Soviet Trade mission, to-
day, that the United States as
say offices remain under or
ders not to assay any gold bull :
lion coming from Soviet Rus
sla to this country.
As this goa-l is the chief imme-
ditely available resource with which
Moscow expects to pay for hun
dreds Of millions of dollars worth Of
American goods, and as government
assay certificates are virtually nee
lion, the official statement of Mon
day, that restrictions on exchange
and other financial obstacles to trade
had been removed, becomes worth
loss.
Chicago meat packers had the first
warning OF tho false character OF
the removal Of restrictions an
nouncement Issued by the treasury
They have great quantities OF their
products in storage in Hamburg
Reval and other ports Of northern
Europe, awaiting word that payment
can be arranged for their delivery in
Russia. The state department has
told them that they can deliver al
most any description OF foodstuifs
to the SoyietB, despite the bar
against goods available for military
supply. But the department stands
firmly against the removal OF gold
from Russia.
1t was definitely admitted to
Reeht today that the treasury for
bids assaying of Russian gold be-
cause the state department. "doeS
not recognize the title Of the Boil
Shevik government to it."
No mention was made of the fact
that the French government claims
this gold i'll payment of loans made
by French investors to the czar' S
government in past years, but as
this is the only adverse claim the
United States is in the position OF
maintaining the trade blockade to
help France collect her Russian
loans.

Parliament Is Engaged in
Forging More Fetters for
Wrists Of the Workers Of
Britain.
Hy EVELYN SRARp,

Staff Correspondent Federated Press.
London, Dec. 22.-,Behind its bar
ricades parliament is engaged this
week in forging more fettcrS for the
workers. ..
Because OF the opposition which
has developed against the two-shift
clause of the women ana young per
sons bill, it has undergone technical
amendment. This amendment, how
ever, is negligible in the relief it af-

Labor put UP good fight against
the clause. The bill has, however,
passed the lower house, and there is
little hope of its amendment in the
house OF lords.
Another decision. affecting the,
three million workers whose mini
mum wages are fixed by trade
boards. has Just caused consterna-
ton among laundry workers. DR..
MacNamara, minister of labor, has
discovered that the Trade board act
does not allow him to sign the pro-
posed now order for the weekly
wages OF woman laundry workers.
because it applies only to the fixing
OF hourly rates. This quibblc can be
prevented only by an amendment of
the act.

taken by the government under the
official secrets act, which, although

wizard Of the knights Of the ku Klux

the branches now in existence.
Should an emergency arise in
New York demanding the presence
of the Ku KluN Klan for the preser-
yation of the fundamental principles
for which this organization stands,
can say to you frankly that the ku
kluN klan would be there on the
job the officer admitted.
This anti-negro organization,
