PerfidiOus RailrOaders
A report was received that certain
officials of the Railwaymen's Wei
fare League had prevailed upon some
railway organizations in Auburn and
Tacoma to endorse Hartley for gov
ernor.
A motion prevailed that Hartleys
stand toward organized labor be pub
lished and that any organization en-
dorSing him be severely censured.
How anybody living in this state
any length of time can fail to know
that Roland H. Hartley is a bitter
enemy of organized labor is unbeliev-
able. But, however bitter an enemy
he may be, he is an open enemy, not
"a treacherous, sneaking thing like a
member of organized labor who
would sell his soul to the open enemy
Of his kind
No, no, not his kind There is not
real union man who would do so
low and dishonest a thing. If the
Farmer-Labor Party has any more
members guilty of such perfidy, it
would be well that they be forced to
join some other political organization
in support of any and all politicians
who live by the exploitation of labor.
No decent party would want their
votes.
