PACKERS CAN STILL
 HANDLE CHEESE

Washington, February 1.-(Special) Attorney General Palmer, replying to the suggestion of Senator Dial that cheese should be included among the pxoducts the great packers are to be barred from dealing in, has assured the senator from South Carolina that the department of Justice will investigate this phase immediately, and will be glaa to have pertinent facts brought to it's notice.
 Permit me to point out" the Attor- ney General says, that the decree about to be entered against the pack CTS does not definitely determine their right to continue in the cheese busi- ness. It will provide that nothing con. tained therein shall prejudice the gov ernment in proceeding against them either civilly or criminally. for any of their activities in connection with poul- try, butter, cheese and eggs. The rela- tion of the packers to the cheese in dustry is matter which is receiving my careful consideration"

but through those admissions, indirect ly against his own. His position was assailed by Representative Heflin of Alabama, who in making reply, pointed out facts which must be issues in the ensuing campaign.
 The gentleman from Massachu- setts" said Mir. Heflin, "has served the country well in announcing thus early the intention of the republican party to abolish the federal reserve system. The act which created that system is the best and wisest currency legisla- tion ever written. It broke the power of Wall street to control the money supply and the credit of the country. During republican administrations. twenty one Wall street magnates held the bankers. the farmers. and all com mercial interests in the hollows of their hands. They could call the con- spirators together and produce a panic in 24 hours. By striking down values and impoverishing the masses, they could and did produce millionaires in any hour they desired The people cried out for deliverance. The republican party could not grant relief because the bosses of that party were controlled by and got money from that conscienceless Wall street gang.
 The republicans have been in power in this capitol since March last year. They forced an extra session of Con- gress in that they might give the country the benefit of republican state craft, skill and genius in solving the perplexing problems of the day. What, in way of result, have they to show? They have done nothing for our sol diers. They threatened to remove the tax from soda water and they have thrown a protective tariff about pearl buttons. Gentlemen, hang this orna- ment of republican achievement about the snout of the grand old party ele- phant in the coming election.
 Have they reduced the cost of liv- ing? One of their great leaders Mir Luce, speaking for his party. has Just declared that the cost of living was higher in December than in August. In August, the republicans were in con- trol of both the House and the Senate. And in December they were likewise in control So poverty stricken are they in able and versatile statesman ship that there is little wonder that they now offer s10,oo0 to boys and girls in their teens-ignorant of the party's failure and duplicity-to write them a party platform.
 Before appealing to the very young, they went to the very old. Each one, recalling your record of bossism, graft, governmental favoritsm, and subser- viency to predatory interests, shook his head. And then it was necessary that they have Chairman Hays offer that purse to any child, white or black, who

 This is not censorous campaign" said Dr. Grosan. Tt is a progressive andl Iconstructive movement
 The interchurch world organszatiofN has no executive program. It's functions are in no way executive. What we are seeking to do is to uncover conditions which we know exist and bring them in concrete form before the various evan gelical denominations. II is for each de- nomination to work out it's own solution. When the surveys have been completed and the facts laid before the pastor in each county, then the interchurch or ganization largely will have completed it's work ,as outlined at present.
 It is expected that when the facts are brought to the attention of the ministers of the state that definite campaign on the part of all the denominations will be begun to remedy all unfavorable condi- tions which are brought to light

MaIigning the Workers

| guilty of plain lying, but how many
of his auditors know it? How many
have read the report of the former
director of transportation, Walker D.
Hines, in which he proves that the
efficiency of workers increased under
federal control-that greater volume
of business was handled and that
fewer working hours were purchased? /?
The press has been silent on these
matters and the public is not in
! formed.
With the courts ready to interfere
and the proper law to bring the work
ers before them, the railroads are
confronted with the national agree
ment. They cannot ride rough shod
over it without arousing adverse
public sentiment. So they propose
coming to Congress and have it en-
act a law that will be- written by
clever railroad lawyers and the sub
jugation of the workers will be COM
plete.
Congress was responsive to rail-
road bidding when it demanded bill
with subsidies and guarantees, and it
will be equally responsive when it is
requested to forge shackles for the
legs of the workers. The transporta-
tion bill does that for them. But
they still possess some freedom that
l5 resented by railroad presidents and
managers and Congress will be told
to take from the little they still pos
sess.

R. R. Managers Want
Small Wage Board

New York-Rail managers oppose
the plan of their organized shop en-
ployes and the railroad brotherhoods
that national wage adjusting boards
be set up.
Under government control three
adjustment boards were established to
handle grievances of these workers,
who were grouped in three classes.
The workers want this policy con-
tinued, but the managers favor de-
Capitalization. Under the Cummins-
Esch law either plan is permitted.
The workers insist that the rail-
roads must be considered as an en-
tirety, while the managers hold that
each system is distinct unit. The
purpose of the managers is apparent,
as these officials make no attempt to
conceal their opposition to the work
ers' growing solidarity.
Another feature of the Cummins-
Esch law which is of advantage to
the managers is that clause which
permits the railroad labor board to
take cognizance of any complaint
signed by mot less than 100 unor-
ganized employees or subordinate Of
ficials directly interested in the dis
pute."
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1920-11-12

When Congress reconvenes the rail-
road managers propose making an
effort to secure the annulment of the
national agreement made by the fed
eral government and railroad work.
ers. This is to be done by amend
ment of the transportation act. The
railroad managers, having secured
about everything they asked for in
the way of financial help, now demand
free hand in dealing with their
workers. They want to reduce forces,
cut wages and restore the iniquitous
piece work system. They were all
ready to do some of these things
when the railroads went back to priv
ate control, but they found that there
were serious obstacles in the way.
Now they are going to remove them
by legislation.
Anticipating favorable action by
Congress-the railroads have not
been disappointed for some time and
have no reason to anticipate any re-
bluffs from membership made up
largely of railroad attorneys-rail-
way managers are now conducting
an extensive campaign which has for
it's purpose the prejudicing of public
sentiment against railroad workers.

MOB RULE
WESTERN UNIONIST MOBBED
BY LUMBER BARONS
Official of Timber Workers Union is
Arrested, Jailed Without Trial
and Run Out of Town

San Francisco - The California
state federation of labor has taken
up the case of S. H. Wood, vice presi-
dent of the International Timber
Workers union, who was mobbed at
Susanville, this state, and barely es-
capped with his life.
Wood went to Susanvilfe to organ
ize a union of timber worekrs. The
day after his arrival he was arrested
by the town marshal con suspicion
of being an l. w. w." He was placed
in jail and no one was informed Of
his whereabouts. He finally secured
a message to local unionists by call
ing through window.
The marshal had no warrant and
on releasing the prisoner he was
Z seized by a mob who drove to the
Jail in four automobiles. A sack was
placed over his head and it was ted
with a rope. The mob rushed to
bridge and after whispered consul
tation they drove into the country
several miles and released Wood with
orders to "beat it." Later the mob
returned and began search for their
intended victim, who hid in heavy
timber lands. He remained there
during a rainy night and was res
cued in the morning when almost ex-
hausted.
Susanville is a lumber district and
is controlled by the Westwood~ Lun-
Der company. In Westwood there are
signs with this inscription:
"This street and all others in this
town are private property. The right
to use them is revocable at any time"
The 10-hour day prevails there.
Room rents range from $1.25 to $1.75
day and from 81 to $3.50 day in
hotels. Living costs are higher than
in almost any other section of the
state and in the mills there is labor
turnover of rs per cent.
1t is stated that on the day of the
mobbing the man who lights the
streets was ordered not to turn on
the lights until he was notified, be-
cause "there was something doing
that evening""

MORE LIES
CRY is MASK
FOR LOW WAGES
Crafty Employers Seek Excuse For
United Open Shop Movement
Now Being Inaugurated

Washington-The claim that union
ism interferes with greater produc-
tion and efficiency is mask to con-
ceal employers opposition to organ
lied labor, said Frank Morrison,
secretary of the A. F. of L., replying
to New York newspapers request
for labor's views on the present union
shop movement.
"The attack on labor is in many
sections of the country and is based
on the non-union shop" said the trade
union official. ''These employers
want to bargain with employees as in
dividuals. The organized workers
insist on collective bargaining. This
blocks the employers plan to set
wages and working conditions, with
out voice by labor.
"These employers are crafty, how
ever. They do not announce their
purpose. That they may capture
public opinion, which quite often
affects judicial decisions, they talk
about greater production and eff
ficiency.
"These employers should practice
production and efficiency. Their idle
mills at the present time, which have
been shut down to maintain famine
prices, indict their production der
mand. AS regards efficiency claims,
let them end the killing and wounding
of hundreds of thousands of workers
in industry because of unguarded
machinery and occupational diseases;
let them consult government reports
on every phase of production and they
will find that millions of dollars are
wasted because of their unscientifc
methods.
at is inconceivable that business
men can imagine workers are so lack
ing in a knowledge of common in
formation that they are unable to de-
tect the pretense of employers who
would conceal their efficiency by in
sisting that labor reduce it's living
standards.
Labor will not reduce it's living
standards. The present attempt is
identical with movements when labor
was less intelligent and less unified"
