Thomas Holds Job.

An event significant of the degree
of radicalism among the railroad
workers of Great Britain occurred in
London on July 5, when J. H. Thomas
was confirmed in his position Of
supreme executive Of the National
Union Of Railwaymen.
Thomas had been criticised by ex-
tremists among the railwaymen for
preventing the Triple Alliance strike
threatened last April, when the coal
miners asked for the active support
of the other unions. To test the
strength Of the extremists, the exec
utive Of the National Union of Rail-
waymen put forward the recommen-
dation that Thomas be removed. When
vote was taken at conference of
delegates the recommendation was
rejected by 81 votes to II.

We will have to infer that Knox is
speaking Of Bolshevism as that is the
only idea in Europe that Knox and
his kind are afraid Of. Knox told his
hearers that:

an alertness to the industrial condi-
tions and the plight of the working
class though they are confused as to
the way out Of these conditions. This
is evidenced in their resolutions de-
manding the Initiative, Referendum
and Recall, the Plumb Plan, the Raj
ston-Nolan Bill on taxation, proper
tional representation, referendum for
war; disarmament and Sather demands
Of similar import. Even if they pray
to God (Congress), they keep their
powder dry by building up their or
ganization and uniting their efforts
to fight for the elimination of the
Ku Klux Klan, the abolition of race
wars-for the right to organize and
strike and to be free from injunc-
tions.
A very good indication Of the pro-
gressive outlook Of these ex-soldiers
is seen in their resolutions to con,
slider in their posts the political as
pect of industrial questions and to
carry on an educational campaign for
industrial unionism and shop COM
mittees. Along with this they will
send delegates from their posts to
the Central Trades Councils. During

ulation was sent to Alexander
Howatt for his militant stand against

What They Doin
With En-?

A correspondent at Mason City,
Iowa, writes: 1t has been reported to
me that pawn shops here receive 20
to 80 calls day for firearms. They
can't supply the demand.
Wait until winter sets in, no food,
no work, no shelter. Something is
surely going to break. The undercur-
rent of unrest is apparent.
The above makes us wonder, in the
words of Bob Minors recent cartoon
in The Toiler, if the workers are
going to carry the firearms "for the
boss. Yes, we wonder.

city police, acting under instructions
directly emanating from Mayor
Moore's office, made it their business
to arrest during that night all sus.
pected radicals who could be found
walking in the streets at a late hour.
In one case they rushed in to house
without having search warrant and
seized twelve men and woman upon
the seeming presumption that meet
ing Of the United Communist Party
was being conducted there.
The house was afterward ransacked
by the law and order gentlemen and
valuable articles were stolen includ-
ing one hundred dollars in cash.
There was some wine in the base
ment and the "honest" guardians of
the law got drunk, came to fight
and shot each other. Of course they
say the shooting was accidental and
denied stealing. Naturally the crooked
drunken officers got whitewashed
pretty quickly Of their crimes and
who do you think the criminals are
now claimed to be? The occupants
of the raided place.
Thirty-eight workers were arrested
throughout the city during the night
While no preliminary hearing was

The building trades lockout is still
under way and the employers seem
determined to make this Town "Open

Of the situation is that at the last

Practically all the Unions indorsed

the vote for them was much heavier

the district occupied mainly by the

as such is the desire Of Mayor Moore,
who is the third glory of tie United
States after Ole Hanson of Seattle
strike fame and Calvin Coolidge Of
Boston police strike breaking activi-
ties. Trials are being called on one
day lotiss despite the fact thatsan
agreement had been entered between
the defense counsel and the District
attorney Of Philadelphia County,
under which all sedition cases were
postponed pending action on these
cases by the immigration authorities.
Five weeks ago, while attorney
Greenberg was absent from Phila,
delphia, Harry Belavsky was put on
trial and convicted by jury, includ-
ing one woman, following the address
of the district attorney who indulged
considerable time telling the old
ridiculous story of free love and ma
tionalization of women in Russia,
evidently with the intention to arouse
the woman jurors pride and secure
conviction.
A motion for new trial was
entered at once by Mr.. Greenberg
giving sixty-one reasons for it and
six for arrest of judgement. Then con-
stitutionality of the so called Sedi-
tion Act Of 1919 was also strongly
attacked.
Previous to this w. B. Brukas was
tried under the same charge in Wilke:

Rank and File To
Vote On Wage
Reduction.
OFFICIALS WILL NOT ASSUME
RESPONSIBILITY FOR RAIL
STRIKE.

The matter Of acceptance Of the
railroad wage cut of IL per cent
ordered by the Railway Wage Board
to take effect on July |, has been
put up to the railroad union member
ship for acceptance or rejection.
This action was decided upon at the
meeting of 1000 General Chairmen
Of the Railway Brotherhoods assem-
bled at Chicago which concluded its
sessions last week. 1t is expected that
other standard railway organizations
will subscribe to the brotherhoods'
decision and bring the number Of
workers pledged to a uniform policy
up to 100000.
Would Abolish Time and Half.
The Chairmen and Brotherhood
Chiefs frankly confess that the ac-
ceptance or rejection Of the wage cut
ordered, and which is now in effect
in reality, involves too big a problem
for them to decide without referen-
dunn expression Of the membership.
A resolution containing the decision
reached contains one paragraph Of
especial significance. 1t reads:
Whereas, They (the R. R. workers)
are required not only to consider a
wage reduction, but in many instances
railroad officers have given notice of
intention TO abolish time and one-half
for overtime in road, freight and
yard service, and in addition thereto
to revise schedules for the benefit Of
the railroad by abolishing many rules
and conditions, which in the aggregate
means the loss of much money and
the creation Of less favorable condi-
tions for various classes of employees y
Want No Strike.
1t is generally believed that the
union officials are against strike.
1t is further stated in the resolu-
tion that the Officials consider wage
cut unjustified, but continues in the
following strain calculated to wir

souri, and North Arkansas and the At
