|HEALY ASSALS
HIGH OFFICIAL
Tells R. R. Board People Led
to Think Wage Garner Foe
to Government.
DESPlCABLE PROPAGANDA

Washington, May 6,-Assailing what
he described as a 'desplcable propa.
ganda against labor" Timothy Healy.
president OF the Brotherhood OF Station
airy Firemen and Oilers. charged before
the railroad labor board today that "a
high official OF the government has been
used to more thoroughly deceive the
people into believing that because a
man works for wages he Is an enemy
Of our government"
Mr.. Healy did not name the official
to whom he referred. but much of his
long prepared statement TO the board
had to do with the announcement by
the department OF justice concerning
threatened strikes and violence on last
May day.
Chairman Protests.
Chairman Barton, of the board, pro-
tested against criticism OF other gov
ernment departments being introduced
into arguments before the board on
demands OF railways workers for In
creased wages, but NTH ealy said the
over attacks on labor by government
officials and that he had been instructed
TO lay before the board a statement
on the loyalty OF railroad men.
Mr.. Healy told the board that the
propaganda against labor began In less
than twenty four hours after the sign
ing OF the armistice. Labor was &C.
cused, he declared, of being responsible
for the high cost OF living. the object
being 10 poison tho minds of tho peo-
pie TO such an extent that the pronteers
could still further increase prices and
law the hiamA nn iahOr-h
The loyalty OF our railroad men dur
ing the war with Germany cannot be
denied by those who are honest and
sincere" continued Mr.. Healy. But
many honest and sincere people have
listened to the poisoned tongues and
read the output Of poisoned pens until
they believe that labor IL disloyal. The
crusade Of this high government official
rs undoubtedly for the purpose OF aid
ing In the campaign OF certain employ
ers OF the country TO secure laws cs-
tablishing involuntary servitude."
