AS spokesman for the railroad labor
unions of the country. William II. john

charges made by w. w. Atterbury
ce-president OF the Pennsylvania Rail-
road that. the sixteen railroad unions
were working for the closed shop and
planned to force the Plumb plan on the
people.
Mr.. Johnston said that there were in
dications that the Pennsylvania Rail
road and perhaps others were planning
TO milk" the American people through
the payment Of excessive "cost plus
charges to particular concerns for loco
motive and equipment repairs.
The labor leader declared that The
unions are seeking national boards OF
adjustment as the most logical and
practical means OF keeping Industrial
peace. He denied vehemently that the
railroad unions or their officers favored
the zone big union" advanced by radi-
calls and added that employers were fos-
tering and feeding these radicals so that
they might bore from within into or
ganized labor.
The railroad unions. II was declared.
have never sought and are not now
seeking tho closed shop and employers
have always been at liberty to hire non
union men.
In connection with cost plus contracts
Mr.. Johnston said that the plan OF op-
Grafton was a simple one. He outlined
plan for this Accomplishment as work
ing substantially az follows
Under the transportation act the rail-
roads get n fixed return. This return
covers all costs and gives GO per cent
besides. Therefore the roads will not
be interested in holding down costs
They will be run up by excessive pay
ments to preferred concerns in which
the railroad directors are Interested. In
this connection he mentioned particular

INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. 5.-The United
Mine Workers Of America plan TO
carry on a struggle with the coal
operators of Alabama and Mingo
county, West Virginia, ito finish,
said statement issued here Tonight
by the union officials.
According to the statement, the
unions international board has unani-
mously adopted a declaration promis-
ing the Alabama and West Virginia
miners "the full moral and financial
assistance OF the international &nion.'
The declaration criticised the West
Virginia Governor for calling out Fed

to his oath OF Office he would disarm
private detectives who, it was said, are
employed by the operators.

Declaration by the Union.


"The International Executive Board is
impressed with the spirit of self-sacri-
flee displayed by the mine workers of
Alabama in their wonderful fight for the
right to establish the principle Of collec-
tive bargaining and compel recognition
by the coal operators of the award OF
the United States Bituminous Coal Com
mission. The $4,000 men, women and
children who are engaged In this strug
gle are suffering from the most intense
persecution. heaped upon them by the ar
rogant coal operators of that State.
Every conceivable method has been
used against them. Eviction from their
homes, foreclosure upon their household
and personal effects. false arrests and
Imprisonment. prohibition of the right
Of assemblage, denial of their statutory
and constitutional rights, unwarranted
use of State troops in the coal fields, de
nunciation by an unfavorable press and
a most malicious public campaign of
misrepresentation have all failed TO
break their dauntless spirit.
ut is indeed question: bic whether the
people of Armenia. whose sufferings
have shocked the world, are in any
worse circumstances than the oppressed
mine workers OF Alabama.
'Tn Mlngo county. West Virginia. a
struggle OF equal Importance is being
waged The miners OF that territory
were locked out by their employers pe-
cause of their desire to organize and
their request for the recognition OF the
principle Of collective bargaining.
''They have waged a remarkable struG-
gle against overwhelming odds despite
the innumerable outrages inflicted by
the private army of hired gsrfmen en-
ployed by the coal operators Of that re-
gion. Many men have been shot in cold
blood by these modern Hessians, while
In n multiplicity Of instances others have
suffered from brutal assaults upon their
persons without having redress in the
law.

MADAM RHODA ANDERSON CHAM
BEERS, FAMOUS PIANIST AND
COMMUNITY WORKER, PASSES
TO THE GREAT BEYOND.
A Victim of Overwork in Her Profess
sion, She Succumbs After Three
Weeks Illness.
Deeply Lamented by Citizens of All
Glasses. "t

Again the Grim Reaper has invaded
our ranks and with his sickle cut
down a life that was to our COM
munity precious, to our race eXemp-
larry, to our cause helpful.
Born in Leavenworth, Kansas,
nearly twenty-six years ago, and
coming to Denver with her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. George Anderson, in
1900. the deceased began her educa-
ton at the Emerson school and CON
tinued to the East Denver High
school.
Early in life she evinced must
cal talent, and after receiving IN
structions under Miss Holland and
Mrs.-J. II. p. Westbrook, became the
pianist of her school for several
years. Being impressed with her
progress in the divine art, her par
ents resolved on giving her must
cal education, entering her at the
Denver Conservatory of Music I'M
der the famous Paul Stauffer, where
she studied and won the commenda-
ton of the faculty.
Marrying Harry Chambers of Chi
cago at the age of is, she left Den
yer for Salt Lake, then California,
where she continued her studies I'M
der the renowned Adolph Gregory
of the Oakland Conservatory and
Western Institute of Music, gradu-
ating in 1918 with highest honors.
She appeared at various times in
Oakland in Recitals before critical
audiences and was accredited mu-
steal genius.
She returned to Denver in Novem-
Der, 1918, and shortly after opened
studio at Twenty-seventh and Wei
ton streets, Five Points, where she
had a large class, as well as ensag-
ing in church work as an organist
of the Central Baptist Church, OF
which she was member from the
age of 10. An exhibition of this
class in the latter part of February
this year proved to the large audi
ence the wonderful possibilities in
our people and the extraordinary
qualities possessed by Mrs. Cham
bers as teacher and musician. She
was pronounced by the leading mu-
steal critics as one of the few sue
cessful pianists in town that could
interpret the works of the masters
with a faultless rendition. Her de-
votion to community work from
childhood days gave her pleasure
which she never failed to express,
and though member of the Baptist
denomination, was very liberal to all
other religious and social institutions
for the uplift of her people.
She died, in the language OF all
hard and honest workers, in the
harness." having performed at an
event March "a, and retiring to
bed from which she never rose. The
best medical attention was given her.
and every care that her parents and
relatives could bestow was received
by her at her late home, 2431 Court
place.
Her death is deeply lamented and
deplored by the numerous friends
and acquaintance which she formed.
and in conjunction with the citizens
of all classes of both races. THE
COLORADO STATESMAN extends
