Railroad Strike Sure to Fail,
Says Leader of the Outlaws

w. Chicago, Oct. 22.--(Special. -
Will the so-called outlaw organiza-
tion help to Gereat the great strike
planned by the railroad brother
hoods?
The $4,000 men who went on a
strike in April, 1920, in Chicago,
Cleveland, st. Louis, Jersey City
Buffalo and other major terminal
points, are planning action outside

John Grunau Is still power with
his American Employees Associa-
tion, the new organization which
has grown out of the Yardmen's
association. This organization in
cludes trainmen, engineers. fire
men, freight conductors. switch
men and had a membership esti-
mated at 10000.
w. G.. Lee, chief OF the trainmen,
used all the power Of the brother
hood to destroy them and failed.

es were advanced in July, 1920.

most serious blow yet recorded
against the big four brotherhoods
and the switchmen's union, which
have ordered a walkout October 80.
The shop crafts, known as the rail-
way employees department, Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, are said
TO control more railroad workers
than any individual union. Their
action also is declared to bind the
American Federation OF Labor
against any active support of
railroad walkout.
Statement BY Officials.
President Jewell, John Scott, Sec
retary- treasurer of the railway en-
ployes' department and the presi-
dents of the six affiliated unions,
signed a statement addressed to
their men, in which they said:
"We were definitely advised Oc-
tober IA, 1921, by the officers of
the four transportation organiza-
tions that they would not under
any circumstances cooperate with
the federated shop crafts organiza-
tions in the threatened strike be-
ginning October so, 1921.
"It further developed that II
any other class of employees de-
cided to strike with them, they, the
four transportation organizations,
would not be bound to remain on
strike after they had received
settlement acceptable to them, even
though those who had assisted
them in making their strike sue
cessful had received no settlement
ana were still on strike.
at must, therefore, be clearly
evident to all that the membership
OF any of the four transportation
organizations on any railroad can
not and will not cooperate with
any other class of employees.
viii Await Decision.
For the reasons above stated
the federated shop crafts will con-
tinue to await, as per the program
of August "a, 1921, the issuance by
the United states railroad labor
board of the decision on the re-
manning rules, which are to be
general in their application, among
which are the classification OF
work rules for each shop craft,
aud upon receipt of this decision
this body will be reconvened ana
final and definite action will be
taken having for its purpose the
protection OF the best interests OF
these federated shop crafts
The shop crafts decision, which
admittedly was instrumental In
bringing about the action of the
two other grodps, was reached af-
ter turbulent sessions of the con-
ference committee of 100 lasting
several days. Representatives
from distant sections. fired by the
brotherhoods' pronouncimento,
protested against further delay in
calling a strike which was author
lied by vote last July. The vote
was taken. however, only on the

wage reduction OF July j and lead
ers of the shop unions did not
deem it advisable to walk out on
that issue alone.
BY last night, however, the mis-
sionary work done by Mr.. Jewell
and others since the brotherhoods'
strike call, had shown its effect
and the committee of 100 had been
brought into line with a no strike
policy.
A special committee was ap-
pointed to draft a new report. This
committee worked late into the
night and today they presented n
new resolution. Heated debate en-
sued but after more than three
hours of argument the resolution
to stay on the job for the present
went through.
More than 100 general chairmen
arriving today to hear the commit
tees decision. left for their homes
tonight to explain the committees
action to their membership.
"We are not in any position to
to go on strike at this time" Mr..
Jewell declared at meeting of the
chairmen this afternoon. ITO
strike on the proposition of a wage
reduction alone, with our shop
rules on the altar of sacrifice
would he suicide.
Don't be tricked into following
along in strike you can not set
tie in a manner favorable to your
selves, Move cautiously and wait
until the whole question of wages
and working conditions is before
you"
Mr. Jewell pointed out that the
strike authorized by the brother
hoods was predicated on the fact
that the train service men had sep
arate rules of agreement with each
railroad. The shop crafts have no
such agreements.
"The real heart of this strike is
the contest over rules" Mr.. Jewell
said. THE brotherhoods' strike
was technically called on the July
wage CT. but in their settlement
with the railroads the big five will
be over present rules which have
been built up by years of practice
and through negotiations under
federal control.
"The shop crafts rules under fed
eral control were made into a ma
tional agreement which the labor
board is revising. Already they
have issued twenty-four substitute
rules and laid down part of the is
sue which we will have to meet.
We have not yet. committed our
selves on that subject. When all
the revised rules have been pro-
m lgated by the board then we will
again assemble the general chair
men and seek a remedy to rights
which have been taken from us.
"When the present crisis appear
ed, the shopmen were in a position

In Louisiana sent out an expedition
to investigate the remote portions Of
what was then their territory. Most
Of the present State Of Kansas was a
part Of the Louisiana Purchase and SO
passed from French hands to the
United States In 1903. A small addi-

being coded by Texas.

Of Missouri. According to the Mis-

The opposition Of the South was 80
strong the Kansas Nebraska bill was
passed n 1854, making this vital ques-
ton optional with the inhabitants In
each proposed state. With this law
in force, the two factions actively
started colonizing Kansas. Immigrants
from the slave states Of Arkansas and
Missouri Immediately founded Leaven-
worth. The Massachusetts, Emigrant
Aid society sent out anti-slavery set
tiers, who founded Lawrence, Topeka
and other towns. Conflict between
these two parties broke out at once,
and 1t was only put down by the In.

AyzSA the discovery Of our
H:ka ~ 0:@ Pacific coast. In
0:SSf :t3 1543 Ferrelo possibly

NSsS://.- as the Oregon boun-
diary. In 1870 Sir
Frames Drake explored for England
the coast considerably north Of this.
Other Spaniards made further expicra-
lions and Captain Cook. the English
navigator. in 1883 landed at Nootka
Sound and gave 1t is name. Thus both
RSpain and England laid claim to this
region.
The American rights to this territory
were based on the discovery Of the
Columbia river In 1872 by Captain
Robert Gray, who sailed from Boston
IN the ship Columbia to open up fur
trade. Many American fur traders
followed and in 1911 John Jacob AS

pany, established settlement called
Astoria at the mouth Of the Colum-
bIa.
The real opening Of the Northwest
was the result Of the famous Lewis
and Clark expedition. These two
captains were sent out by President
JEFFERSON to explore the sources Of the
Missouri river. They continued their
explorations, crossing over the noun
tains to the Columbia river, and trav-
eled down this to the Pacific. Mis-
sionaries also penetrated to the coast
and started missions. Among these
were DR.. Marcus Whitman and Rev.

went to Oregon in 1885. These two
women were the first white women to
cross the Rocky mountains.

from the East Travelled over the Ore

Columbia river, and thus into Ore

pied about three months and the set
tiers generally Travelled in large parties
to withstand any possible attacks
from Indians.
American settlers became so mum.

laid claim to this region. Spain had
been forced to withdraw any rights
she may have had when Florida was
coded in 1919. This left England and

OF the country. Final settlement, with
definite boundaries between the
United States and Canada, was made
