Members Of twelve Western Cattle

compromise effected by Attorney General
Palmer in settlement Of the governments
antitrust proceedings against the meat
packers and have appealed to President Will
ION To upset the arrangements. To this end
they ask that the prosecutions be taken ont

SWITCHMEN'S STRIKE IS BLOW
A. HEART OF UNION EFFORTS

CANE labor leaders realize that the swchmens strike IS
y blow TO the principle Of collective bargaining. The
railroad broherhoods and the American Federation Of La
Dor understand perfectly what victory for the striking a-
tators would It would be death blow TO the prn-
cpe upon which American organized labor IS founded
no GREAT STRIKE HAS EVER BEEN WON IN TIE
UNITED STATES WHICH INVOLVED A BREACH OF
CONTRACT
On the other hand unions have time and again VIC
tones when they have gone about It IN legitimate way
at times when their contracts with employers expired
When workers collectively agree to work at given scale
for given period, they justified IN breaking
that agreement than the employers would be- In either
case the parties the contract morally bound to live
up to their agreement.
through wears of effort conservative leaders of organ
lied labor have brought about general acceptance Of the
theory Of collective bargaining.
THE CORNERSTONE OF THAT PRINCIPLE IS AC-
CEPTANCE OF AGREEMENTS MADE BY AUTHORIZED
AGENTS OF EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYEES, AND
FAITHFULLY LIVING UP TO THOSE AGREEMENTS
Cases in which contracts have been broken have been
extremely rare.
That conservative organised labor looks with grave
anxiety the stchmens revolt is shown BY the appeal
made by union leaders to their to act strike break
in order TO show agitaors and employers alike that
there is place IN Americas industrial life for the
tract breaker They know perfectly well that much that
has been gained would be lost if the insurgent swhen
should win and they are therefore, found the side Of
the railroads
This situation is rot the result Of any new born love on
the part Of the ra workers for the road owners It IS
simply realization that nothing be through any
other method than fair play.
TO PERMIT AN IRRESPONSIBLE MINORITY TO
WIN SUCH STRUGGLE WOULD BE TO ADMIT THE
FAILURE OF THE THEORY OF COLLECTIVE BAR
GAINING
The extent Of the swichmens strike unauthorized and
N direct violation Of contract shows the growth of radical
ism IN America There is denying that the move
et incpeHt revolution The strikers have thrown
logic to the winds They refuse TO discuss the merits
Of their demands They merely insist having what they
want night or wrong, BY fair foul and have
II through force and through total defiance Of the public
Without the support Of the great bedy OF organized
workers. the iusurgent sWItchmen had chance to
win The strike has however, shown intelligent leaders Of
labor organizations that they must be their guard
THEIR GREATEST DANGER IS NOT FROM CAPT.
TAI, But FROM WITHIN THEIR OWN RANKS. ONCE
THE RADICALS OF THE STRIKING SWITCHMEN'S
TYPE GAIN TIE UPPER HAND, ALL THAT ORGAN
lied LABOR HAS GAINED IN TIE UNITED STATES
IN TIE PAST QUARTER OF A CENTURY WILL HAVE
BEEN LOST AT ONE BLOW.
That the rank and file understand this to be true is
shown by the loyal support given the conservative leaders
BY the workers generally In the present crisis

For years the plan followed Of having the
competitors solicit memberships in the scholarship club the
winner in the membership contest winning also scholar

wise to encourage young people, especially girls to divert
their energies in this way during the school The
plan adopted Of giving entertainments to raise money,

But the real test of public approval and interest is to be
found in the cash receipts at the door,
The object is every way worthy Of public support, and
the entertainment offered representing much hard work by

ambitious and earnest youth, is interesting and pleasure
able in itself
Another demonstration of FL PasOs renewed interest in
