OPPOSE rail
RETURN BILL
Continued from First Page

continued rom First Page
partment and officials Of the big rail-
way unions.
The letter itself or a separate state-
ment Of the workers attitude may ba
made public late today.
Following pu5lhcat.on Of the letter,
labor leaders Of the workers say they
will marshal their friends in Congress
for a battle on the BIN which is to
come up in The House Saturday and in
the Senate next week. Sixteen mem
bers Of the House are former labor
union men and others are known 10 ba
against the Eseh-Cummlns measure.
Workers leaders today called the bill
a hodge podge" despite the fact that
it sets up tribunals for wage disputes
minus any compulsory feature. One
clause. however, provides for introduc-
tion of wage disputes before these
tribunals through petition by 100 "un-
organizedH employees. This. leaders, say,
is a discrimination against organized
workers.
Behind the decision to fight the Esch-
Cummins bill stands the workers de-
sire for two-year extension Of govern
ment control. Whether Gompers and
railroad union heads still have hopes
Of accomplishing this is unknown.

Several years ago Mr.. Gofr, realizing
that there were many persons who de-
sired to give TO charity but lust did
not know how TO go about giving prop
erly, started the Cleveland Foundation.
His bank was made the depository for
a charity fund and some prominent
citizens were appointed as trustees, to
distribute the fund. The plan has been
a great success and In a few years the
Cleveland Foundation Fund has grown
TO SiOO,0OOO0O, the income from which
is used for the benefit OF people OF the
city, without restriction as TO race, sex,
creed or politics. Similar funds have
been started In many other communi-
