CALL IS SENT OUT
FOR '0NE BIG union
Railroad Workers Summoned
to Meet in Chicago. w.
w. Suspected.

A call for a convention of railroad
workers at Chicago June 20. to organize
one big union. has been published in
the Butte. Montana. Daily Bulletin,
which officials Of the Department of
Justice said today they believed is an
1. w. w. publication.
Orders went out from the department
to its agents at Chicago to keep a
strict watch on the proposed meetinng
for any possible I. w. W. activities in
connection with 1t.
The origin of the call has not yet been
determined by. government agents

communicate with E. E. Pride, 22s

Labor UnisA Ies1eaas Aftt4sksA M 81
Leaders Of the recognized labor
unions and the members Of the Rail
road Labor Board at Chicago are at
tackled by the call. which Says:
Modern industry is organised into
financial resources. and practically
controls the industry Of the country.
TT is the organization power. of the
workers Of the industrial field which
will decide the victories in the fu-
ture and until we organize into the
fore the fight starts, just like we
have in the past.
IF you are red blooded enough to
stand up and be counted and not
afraid to carry out this work, then
we want you to send a delegate to
the Chicago convention, to be held
on June 20, with the express pur-
pose of becoming a part Of the one
big union. If such is not the case then
don't come and try and offer some
compromise proposition. for you will
not be seated, as the o. B. U. is alive
and already formed. and all we want
is workers who are willing to join
us in this fight for industrial free
dom.
Throw the labor takers OFF your
back and get into a labor organiza-
tion that will be controlled by the
rank and fle."
Discussing the railroad labor board
the Call says:
"If these men chosen by the Presi-
dent to represent labor really repre-
sent the rank and file we would be
outnumbered two to one. We leave it
to your judgment what proportion of
representation the man in overalls
actually has on his this board"
Reciting the history of the so-called
says a committee was selected to tour
the northwestern section of the coun-
try for the purpose of getting the SEN
timent of the men, and, as result of
the dissatisfaction with the old or
ganization said to exist, it was decided
to call convention of all dissatisfied
employees on all railroads in America
for the purpose Of organizing one big
union of railroad workers.
Idea FrOwned ON by Labor.
w. M. Doak, vice president of the
Brotherhood of Railway, Trainmen,
said today he knew of no men in
Washington to whom a call, such as
that found by the Department of
Justice. would be directed. He has
heard Of it only through the press
he said.
Mr. Doak took the attitude of the
Department of Justice that the propa-
ganda probably is sent out by an
organization similar to the l. w, w.
The one big union idea is frowned
upon by all legitimate labor organize
tions, it is stated.

report made by a special committee as
to a uniform policy for the retention
OF federal employees who have reached
the legal age.
This report has the approval of Sec
retary Payne of the Interior Depart
ment, and will govern the cases of
such superannuates as come within
the retirement law but for reasons of
Ice for a two-year period.
Announcement of the full report of
the committee today by Secretary
Payne made certain that a broad and
liberal policy Of dealing with this
question Of retirement will be en-
forced throughout the departments.
No Arbitrary Rule.
Each case will be considered on it's
merits. it is announced, since no

that all employees of retirement age.

standard grade Of efficiency. II persons
SO reported are recommended for con-
tinuation in the service. 1t will be easy
to turn to these reports and determine
whether the efficiency Of such person
justifies his retention.
In view Of these reports, it does not
seem to US that it will be difficult to
enforce the act or that the heads of
the different departments will be un-
duely urged to continue persons in the
service in the face Of these reports.
Our conclusion, therefore. is that the
good Of the service will not justify en-
forcing absolute retirement when the

quest the Civil Service Commission to
