STRIKE AT ORGANIZED LABOR
Renews Silly Talk of Danger Of
Union Domination.

Manufacturers and business Inter-
ests are urged to take the offensive
and resist the alleged attempt of labor
leaders TO dominate industry, In the
report of the committee on Industrial
Retirement. health and safety, pre-
scented at the annual convention Of the
National Association of Manufacture
ers.
THE leaders of labor cannot, and
apparently do not care to hide their
determination to rule industry said
the report. 1.-THE business existence
of the members of this association Is
involved in defeating their aspira-
tions. A defensive hattie Is a losing
one. Therefore, the association should
boldly expose to the public the at
tempts of minority to dominate busl-
ness and govern the state in its own
selfish interest"
The report charges that union labor
spent S1.3711,204 during the year for
administration, politics and strikes.
The committee urged the open
shop" movement be stimulated by the
extension of plans for industrial rep
resentation.

5000 Maintenance OF Way
and Shop Workers.
MOVE MAY BECOME GENERAL
Rail Executives Of Course Make Claim
That Step Is Made Possible by
Wage Reduction Ordered by United
States Labor Board.

Claiming that II is the first stimu,at-
ing effect of the United States labor
boards announcement of railway wage
reduction, the Chicago and Alton re-
employed 1900 maintenance of way
and shop men. The shops at Bloom
ington were reopened. Two thousand
men were put to work. Two thousand
more. 1t was announced, will be en-
ployed soon.
Predictions are made by railroad ex-
ecutiyes that the 100000 railroad men
now out of work throughout the coun-
try will have been reabsorbed by the
various roads by the time the wage re-
auctions go into effect on July l.
Rail chiefs were reticent as to their
immediate plans. but they pointed to
two expected events which they claim
Will remove much OF the sting from
the reductions as far as the unions
are concerned.
One is the working rules decision
which the board probably will hand
down around July l. II is known,
according to officials Of railroad lines,
that the unions will be awarded a
definite code of universal rules, based
on sixteen principles which will go
far TO equalizing the wage cut. These
rules, ii is said, will fix an eight
hour day, protection of health, over
time. and other fundamentals which
will restore TO the big brotherhoods
their coveted differentials in pay.
The other is expected action on the
part of the administration within the
near future In lowering freight ana
passenger rates. The executives main
tain. however, that the roads will be In
no better position financially IL rates
are lowered and wages are not cut as
much as 20 per cent. The employees
have announced refusal to accept
more than a f2 per cent cut and the
shop crafts have threatened nation
wide walkout IL the reductions 90 above
that figure.
The board would give no intimation
as TO the size of the cut.
Eighty-seven roads will be affected
by the decision.

Crane, former United States min
lister to China, arrived here last
night from Reval, after completing
a 7000-mile journey from Peking,
which took him across Siberia and
soviet Russia. Mr.. Crane. who
was accompanied by four Ameri-
cans and a Chinese cook, told the
story of his trip to a crowd OF
American reoprters waiting at the
station to greet him. The party
left the Chinese capital on June 16
and from that time until August
6. when it left Petrograd for Re
val, 1t travelled under a special per-
NIT from Nikolai Lenine, Russian
bolshevik premier. The Ameri-
cans had an opportunity fully to
observe the comedy and tragedy of
the every day life of the Russian
people and were given a greater
chanc to inspect conditions than
has been granted any Americans
since the outbreak of the Russian
revolution in 1917.
During the journey, Mr.. Crane
spent about 100000 soviet
rubles. or about $4,000 besides Civ
