LAWYERS WANT COS
SACKS

Denver.-The Colorado Bar Associa-
tion will urge the next Colorado legis-
lature to establish cossacks in this
state. The lawyers say that recent
riots in connection with the local street
car strike would be impossible if cos
sacks were on the Job. The bar asso-
citation makes no mention of the inn
ported thugs and strikebreakers who
staged the riots. Neither do the law
yers comment on the policy Of certain
local newspapers that create mob
spirit which was capitalized by the
thugs.

By Charles N. Kelly

Strike votes taken BY the six shop
crafts representing the Railway En-
ployes' department of the American
Federation of Labor have temporarily
dissuaded officials of the Pennsylvania
railroad from putting into effect a
previously issued order abrogating
national agreement and re-establish-
ing the iniquitous piece-work system.
The matter is to be presented to tFe
transportation wage board for review
In its recent wage award the trans
portation board continued unimpaired
all agreements made during the period
Of federal control of railroads betwee j
the government and the employees or
ganizations. 1t was specifically stated
that all conditions of labor should be
respected until the board directed
otherwise, after hearings had been
had on questions at issue.
But the Pennsylvania railroad
which found federal control irksome
and was with difficulty forced to re-
spect government authority even
when the nation faced a great crisis.

prerogatives to anybody, government
constituted or otherwise

Chicago. Several thousand young
sters from the steel district Of South
Chicago were recently entertained by
the good fellow club Of the Illinois
Steel Company, and Editor Tracy, Of
the Union Clay Worker, recalls that
this club or its president, who is su-
perintendent of the steel mills, did
not arrange any picnies for these
children when their fathers were on
strike a few months ago to secure
improved conditions.
"This corporation" says Editof
Tracy, had hundreds of thugs and
gun men on the job ready to shoot
down the striking steel workers on
the slightest proyocation, but that
was during the strike when they were
forced to show their hand. Now that
the strike is over, they ride and dine
the children Of these same strikers. .

Hits at Labor Unions
The attack of the Pennsylvania on
the hour-rate system has a deeper
meaning than is vouchafed by it.
officials They regard this as the
point Of attack against trade unionism
that offers them greater chance for
success. The public, badly or wrongly
informed by the press, would not un-
derstand the real issue involved and
might reasonably be expected to ac-
cept the sophisticated arguments Of
corporation spokesmen as justifying
a course that actually sought to de-
stroy the organizations that have been
carefully builded up by the workers
that they might enjoy the right of col,
lective bargaining and have adequate
defense against unfair and arbitrary
treatment.
For many years prior to the inter
vention of the government the Penn

successfully resisted the efforts Of
unions to organize workers engaged III

American citizens. In Pennsylvania
the guarantees Of freedom of speech
and assembly were suspended for a
number of years. The Pennsylvania
sent its own thugs to manhandle labor
leaders, and crowned its record Of in
fanny when it secured the murder of
Organizer Gallagher, Of the Boiler
makers International Union, for no
other reason than he sought to make

Will Go Limit
If the corporation was ready and
willing to murder to keep its shops
unorganized, what is it not prepared
to don ow that its system, in the
words of Mr. Atterbury, has "been or
ganized from stem to stell?"
Bread Lines Are Ready
Corporation psychology is disclosed
by propaganda that is being circulated
BY the Pennsylvania and other rail
roads. Hundreds Of thousands Of
pamphlets have been placed in the
hands of employees and others direct
ing attention to the increase of unem-
ployment and warning workers that
they soon viii be in position where
they will be compelled to bow to the
dictation Of the bosses.
If this movement to restrict operat-
ing forces becomes general, the state.
ment says, our economic ills will be
cured Then "the worlds woes will
take wing All that is required to re-
store peace and prosperity is to Grove

will shortly be on the wane," the
Pennsylvania hopes. "Workers will
pay more attention to their Jobs and
less attention to agitators who fill no
pay envelopes, but fill their followers
only with wind"
Uncle Sam Pays Bill
The sinister phase of this propa-
ganda is that it is being paid for with
government funds. During the first
four months of private control follow
ing the return of the railroads the
Pennsylvania received from the fed
eral treasury nearly $27,o00,0 900, of
which something more than five mil
lions covered the guaranteed return.
Twenty-one and half millions repre-
sented loss in operating revenue. In
the CORES sponding months under fed
eral control, the Pennsylvania earned
S7,491,0 093, two and quarter millions
more than the rental
A Z, qsiderable portion Of the money
taken by the Pennsylvania from the
people was worse than wasted It
has financed propositions against the
welfare of the public and its employ
ers.
There is no new lesson in these re
velations, unless it be that the rail-
road mind has not altered during the
past FIVE years. The average cor
poration official is just as arrogant,
just as ignorant Of what is transpit-
ing in this world, as the Bourbon ever

Columbus, Ohio,-The Ohio work
mems compensation law has proved
so successful that the actuary of the
state industrial commission has re-
commended that II per cent divi-
dend be declared to employers who are
subscribers to the insurance fund.
The dividend will approximate $780,
coo and will be distributed in the form
Of credits to subscribers.
The Ohio compensation law does not

Employers may provide their own in
surance if they desire, but their plan

the Ohio law is generally accepted by
employers.

Labor More Efficient

Officials of the Pennsylvania de-
clare that labor output has decreasoI
as result of the application of the
hour-rate system. Statistics are cited
that are intended to bolster up their
contention But these figures, prepar-
ed by officers Of the corporation, like
many other presentations for public
consumption, prove that liars are able
to make truthful figures give false
testimony.
In his final report of the operation
Of the railroads during the 28-months
period of federal control, Transpofta
ton Director Walker D. Hines declar-
ed that the equated number of hours
of railroad workers during the year
1919 decreased002 per cent. In COM

All are looking for the fight to the

the employees of that corporation are to
enjoy the breath of freedom accorded
them by the government or are to be
returned to a state of near-serfdom
which is most appealing to the Penn
sylvanias autocratic management.
General Manager Elisha Lee, in a
recent statement, declared that piece
work is the correct principle Of en-
ployment and should be adopted
wherever practicable Vice President

ton and recently warned members {

The attitude Of the corporation is
thus clearly defined by two of its fore
most operating officials. It's not be
lieved that they will respect any de-
cision adverse to their wishes that
may be awarded BY the transportation
board They are looking for a fight
and it is assumed that they have the
moral if not active support of other
railroad corporations and big busi-
ness generally.
The workers, while preferring the
ways of peace, are not minded to
tamely submit to the cancellation o1

material and spiritual status, and Sc
