PLAIN DUTY OF CONGRESS

Before the railroads receive an
other dollar from the public Treas
ury Congress should insist that
they make complete statement of
their claims growing out of Fed
eral control and agree to accept a
definite sum as settlement in full.
For the moment the roads have
put aside their absurd formula of
inefficiency of labor" The propo-
sition never had leg to stand on.
1t was inherently dishonest and
was put forward to cloak the bold
est raid on the Treasury ever at
tempted in the history of this
country.
The roads have not abandoned the
formula" however.
They are willing to pigeonhole
it for the time being until they can
get possession of the $500,000,000
which the administration is plan
ming to give them.
They expect to revive it at the
first favorable opportunity and to
use it to fitch hundreds of mil
lions more from the public purse.
Newspapers which are supposed to
be close to the administration say
the President wants to be fair to
the railroads"
Isn't it about time for the Presi-
dent and the Congress to be "fair"
to the people of the United States +?

ceeded slowly and cautiously in the
matter of using its influence to
bring about the manufacture and
use of single saw guards that will
be thoroughly practical and effective
for the purpose for which they are
intended, for it is a big change in
this industry. A lot Of skepticism
and prejudice had to be overcome
and we wanted to see the guard
made so effective and practical
that, when once we started out upon
its universal use there would be no
turning back. We feel that we have
reached this point now beyond any
question of doubt. Each field in
spector is now to be equipped with
full information concerning these
guards and where they may be OBJ
tanned from each of the three man
ufacturers in the state and we will
leave it up to the individual firm
to take it's choice of any one of
the three machines-each of them
merits the approval of the depart
ment.
an connection with this overhead
saw guard there has also been in
vented carriage guard that proves
equally effective and practical in
preventing contact with the saw at
this point of hazard"

SOME SOUND ADVICE
FROM THE WOMEN

The Women's Committee for World
Disarmament has appealed to Pres
ident Harding to send truly rep
resentative delegation to speak for
this country at the proposed dis
armament conference.
Women, farmers and labor are
three great groups making up the
bulk of humanity" says this ap-
peal from the women. "They bear
the brunt of the burden in all
world crises of which war is the
most devastating, but in the past
they have had little or no voice in
the counsels of government. These
are the groups that should have a
just representation in this greatest
of conferences"
1t is to be hoped the President
will heed this sane advice. Diplo-
mats and militarists have been
running the old world for a good
many centuries and they have made
a sorry mess of it. If they are
permitted to dominate the forth
coming conference, the results Sc
cured will not satisfy the aspira-
tons of humanity.
Give the workers and the women
an opportunity to make their influ-
ence felt, Mr.. President.-"Labor."

"Velvet Glove"
COnceals Iron
Anti-LabOr Fist
GA. f. of L. News Letter.

Every advance by labor is marked
by three stages-open antagonism,
alleged friendship with hostile de-
sign, and final acceptance.
These stages are clearly marked
as labor develops power and ability
to shape a substantial public opin-
ion for the cause it pleads at that
especial time.
When cornered the second stage
is greed's favorite device. 1t may
be termed the "velvet glove" period,
and now confronts organized labor
in the form of company unions"
which their hackers call industrial
democracy" and employees repre-
sentation."
Wage earners have forced prac-
tically all opponents to outwardly
accept the principle of labor organ
ization. Conspiracy laws have been
annulled, and the men who no long
err dare favor these laws organize
company unions" for employees. In
every instance the employer holds
the veto power over decisions by
these unions"
1t makes no difference to these
employers whether they deal with
their workers as individuals, OF
through petty bosses. Whether
through agents, or directly, in its
last analysis the employer is as
much an autocrat as if no company
''union" exists.
The company "union" bears nc
resemblance to trade unionism, eth.
in, in,+
The form of the company union
is imposed on employees and does
not grow out of their experience.
The purpose of this union" is to
retain boss control of wage earners
while lulling them into the belief
that they have a voice in their
working conditions.
The spirit of the company union
is paternal-the opposite to that
which pervades trade unions.
Workers may be temporarily
forced into these company unions"
but they will abandon them as truly
as water seeks it's level. They can
not be a substitute for trade unions
because they are uneconomic and
dishonest.
Social Justice and improved work
ing conditions is the trade union
center of gravity, while company
unions" are formed by those who
ignore every ideal and instinct in
men who would better their lot in
life.
Organized labor can shorten the
"velvet glove" period of opposition
to trade unionism by agitation, ed
ucation and organization.

BASIL NJ. MANLY TAKES
A HAND IN THE GAME
(Contributed)


Owing to the exposure by the
farmer and labor press of the at
tempted steal of S500,000,0 900 from
the treasury Of the United States,
the soft pedal has been put on talk
along that line Another reason
for singing low about the deal is
the fact that the story of the steal
appeared at the same time that
the country wa being informed
that the treasury was DO badly bent
if we gave the men who volunteered
and were drafted $2O0,000,O00 the
country would go broke and the
treasury emptied.
The two tatements didn't iibe and
the ordinary citizen couldn't under
stand why it should break the
country to give 5000 100000 to the
soldiers and it would not to give
two and a half times that much
to the railroads.
Also the Interstate Commerce
Commission has commenced to back
up on its endorsement of the form
ula of inefficiency of labor" and
is beginning to crawfish thereon.
especially since Basil M. Manly,
formerly the secretary of the War
Labor Board and now director of
the Peoples Legislative Service, has
filed a formal petition with that
body against the railroads claims
on account Of alleged inefficiency
of labor and deficient maintenance.
He said he was prepared to prove
that such claims should be rejected
because they We're without warrant
Of law, were in large part fraud
ulent, were contrary to the facts
contained in the sworn statements
filed with the Commission by the
roads, and We're based upon eXtrava-
giant estimates.
These claims" said Mr.. Manly
constitute deliberate program of
the railroads to offset their obi
cations to the government by Gre
ating fictitious claims. which may
be prosecuted indefinitely or until
time and insistence have given them
an appearance of reality" All of
which, as said before, makes the
Commission pause because Manly
has also asked for the right to
cross examine the managers on THEN
claims and stands ready and will
ing to prove all he states.
But let no one think the rail
road financiers are going to give
up their assault upon the treasury
If they can't break in one way
they will another and they are
holding conferences, while the Presi-

have their heads together figuring
out how to give the roads what
they want without undue objection,
As one wise guy puts it, They're
trying to find some way to pluck
the goose without the goose squawk-
ing too much"
In the meantime Ford goes right
along running his road making a
profit, raising wages and reducing
rates, which greatly worries the
highbinders Of finance, wreckers of
railroads, the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the politicians, who
are worried about the elections next
year.

The packers boast that their

agreement, which the government is
a party to, was entered into when
this country entered the war. 1t
expired about two years ago, before
the present depression appeared.
The packers then asked that the
agreement be extended until one
year after peace is declared. This
was accepted by the workers, al
though at that time they held the
strategic position to improve condi-
tions. A few months ago the pack
ers repudiated this agreement, and
the government, instead of con-
demning the packers, favored set

The packers will undoubtedly at
tempt wage cutting when the
agreement expires, and when Fed
eral Judge Alschuler, acting as
arbitrator, is automatically removed
from their path. Then the packers
hope to have their personally owned
"union" in full swing. The work
ers are alert to this situation.
The packers opposition to Judge
Alschuler was increased last week
when that iurist rejected the pro-
posal to cut wages cents an hour.

TAMPICO FIELD REPORTS OIL
 CUSHERS
cRy rntcrnatrOna, News scrviccD

tRy International News Scrvicc)
 MEXICO CITY, Oct. Eff all re ports coming here from Tampico are true, great numbers of important new oil wells are being brought in at AmatIan and elseN here in the oil district. Some of the gushers are reported to be producing l50000 barrels of oil day. It is nothing t0 hear of new wells yielding 3O0oO barrles q day
 Practically all the new wells are on properties belonging to the great producing companies. It is known that these companies have been do- ing much drilling, and oil men here believe that the reports concerning new wells are substantially true, with the possibility of some exag- gcration as to the amount of the daily production.
 One of the companies which is re ported to have brought in a spec tacular gushcr is the Tidemex. and this was particularly interesting news to oil men because of the rather un- lucky history of this company in Mexico. IL is allied in a way with the Tidewater oil Company and entered the Tampico region with almost limitless financial resources and with oil experts of every de scription.
 The company acquired extensive and valuable property and outlined an ambitious programme, which includ- ed the building of a railroad, pipe lines, an extensive terminal. tank farms and refinery.
 Because the oil property of the company was looked upon as valu- able and because the Tidemex man agers were recognized experts in their line, it was expected that the TidemeX would quickly become one of the great producing companies of Mexico. But the first well of the company was disappointment. The drills reached salt water and work was stopped. This was at the time of reports that the oil field was mar rowing to small strip and is said to have caused changes in the plans cf the company.
 Drilling was continued, however. Now comes the report that the Tide mex has brought in a gusher, produc- ing 150.0o0 barrels a day
 If the well is IS great as described. oil mon say, the Tidemex probably will go ahead with its extensive plans which call for the spending of millions
