Friendship is the most essential thing

This isn't tough world. It's beautiful

is the most important thing in life-and
that is happiness. And the way to get it
is to create it-and the only way to keep

THEY WANT CONTROL OF GOV
EMINENT

1t becomes more and more apparent
that the real motive behind the would-be
rail strikers has little to do with the IL
per cent reduction in pay of last July.
What the men are after is return of the
rail properties to government control.
President Stone of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers spoke what is in
the minds of the railroad personnel when
ne said, "The Government can prevent
the strike by taking over the railroads
and this is what will happen eventually"
The members of the brotherhoods have
not forgotten the ROSY path they trod
during the halcyon DAYS of McAdoo and
Hines, when about all they had to do was
to send dainty little scented note to
Washington headquarters to bring an
order announcing wage raise all along
the line. Along with those increased
wages went the changed conditions of
employment under which the output of
work per man was greatly reduced.

LADY KILLERS"

The United States Department of Ag-
riculture is fostering an exhibit of lady
killers" in the State of Washington.
Among the exhibits are shown the old
time wash tub, washboard, broom and
dustpan, the sadiron, castiron kitchen
stove, coal stove, soap stone heater, and
many other pieces of household equip
ment of by-gone days.
In another department are shown the
modern conveniences that, as the silent
servants of the house." are washing
clothes and ironing them, cooking the
meals, and sweeping and cleaning the
rooms, all at the touch of an electric
switch.
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1921-10-29
THE UNDERLYING PURPOSE

The railroad unions have called strike
against the reduction of II per cent in
wages which has been in effect since July
/. That is the ostensible motive. The ac-
tual, immediate motive is to retain and
strengthen the position of dictation to-
ward the managers which they gained
and greatly fortified since 1916 under po-
htical control. Their underlying purpose
goes farther 1t is to force the govern
ment to adopt the nolicv of public owner
ship and operation in despair of keeping
the roads in operation without strikes un-
der any other policy.
That underlying purpose is revealed in
the statement of Warren S. Stone, chief
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers. He said:
"The government can prevent the
strike by taking over the railroads, and
this is what will happen eventually"
Further on he said: "The railroad exc
cutives can settle the dispute or the Uni
ted States government can prevent a
strike. Taking over the railroads is the
most effective way in which the govern
ment can avert the strike scheduled for
October 3d."
Those statements corroborate that of
F. d. Underwood, president of the Erie
railroad, which reads:
"The real purpose is to bring about
government control-the desire of labor
bodies, some part of the public and some
members of congress-"
The American people have had some
experience of what government opera
ton means. The Adamson law was the
beginning, and rule by McAdoo brought
government control into full bloom. Be-
tween 1916 and 1920 revenue increased
90 per cent, expenses increased 10 per
cent and labor took nearly 60 cents of ev-
cry dollar received, while its efficiency
became less.
In other words the Big Four brother
hoods feel that they can continue to en-
force their demands on the government.
if they can get government control, more
easily than on private management. The
people who pay the taxes, and the freight
bills have been helpless under such die
tatorship, as clearly proved during the
existance of the Railroad Administration
which in ALWAYS submitting to the de-
mands of the "Big Four, to avoid trou-
BILE, created the conditions which in the
public interest must now be remedied.
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1921-10-29
SOMETHING TO CONSIDER

The rail employees should consider
their seniority and pension rights and
other privileges incident to long service
before thew separate themselves from
the payrolls. Not only will the places of
them be filled with men picked from the
ranks of the UNEMPLOYED. but those who
may be eventually hired again by the
roads will lose everything they have gain
ed by faithful work, and be placed back
in the status of new employees.
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1921-10-29

While the workers in other industries
are accommodating their wages and out
put to the demands of trade as regulated
by the law Of supply and demand these
gentlemen of the rails would put them
selves back under the protecting wing of
the National Government. where thew
think they would be safe from the opera
ton of all natural laws.
