THE NEW STRIKE nREAxHRs.

Proof that union labor is sound
At. heart and that its best elements
are mot surrendering t o the danger
GUS radicals is afforded by the action
Of the great railway brotherhoods in
connection with the present unau-
thorized strike which is now tieing mp
many Of the great railway centers of
the country, and which Is more than
suspected Of being fomented, and
Allotted by the L. ". W. and Russian
communist factions.
in Geographic appeals issued BY Of
ficiais Of the Brotherhood Of Rail-
way Trainmen to the members Of
that organization to help break the
strike, the union officials urge the
brotherhood members to uphold
the integrity OF the agreements with
the railroads, thereby protecting
themselves and their families" and
condemn the unlawful and unpa-
triotic methods" whereby the men
who have deliberately broken their
contracts with the railroads are seek
ing to obtain higher wages at this
time
Thus we find union officials urging
their members to act as strike
breakers. The reason for this is
plain The brotherhood officials real
ire fully that unless agreements
made between a union and In en-
ploying corporation are . fulfilled by
the unfon as we'll as the, corporation
there must be an end to the system
of collective bargaining. The cor
poration is responsible party which
cannot break its word with IMMUNITY.
Tho same responsibility should rest
with the organization Of employees
which is the second party to the COW
cnant
In this case there is an agreement
which has been deliberately broken
the strikers. Such conduct is
rightly condemned, and the indict-
ment comes with all the more force
from the Recognized representatives
of organized labor who have it's best
interests at heart. and who realize
the injurious effect such a policy is
bopad to have on the! cause fol
which they are putting forth their
best efforts.
