AIR-TIGHT UNIONS

The railroad crisis is the direct re-
e,l+ of tho definite purpose of the rail-
roads to destroy the railroad labor
unions and to enforce the open shop
Unions and collective bargaining
on the part of railroad men are point
ed to by the railroad publicity bureaus
(whose words you read every day
without knowing it) as being "Bol-
shevistic" and as menacing the safety
of the republic.
And vet the railroads themselves
are organized into general, sectional
and local unions, for the purpose OF
collective bargaining, concerted ac-
ton, political pressure, cooperative
nublicitv. corruption of news sources,
lobbying for treasury raids and class
LEGISLATION and control Of freight and
passenger rates and movements.
Notice, as you read your news
naners. that no individual railroad
acts or speaks for itself (barring
Henry Fofd's). No railroad eXecu-
tive speaks for himself or acts for
himself. Fix in your minds list OF
these railroad unions-not unions OF
railroad men, but unions of railroads:
Make a list Of them and at the end
of the week you will see which side
of this controversy is really "organ-
ized."
There is the Association of Railway
Executives, the Association of Rail
ways Entering Chicago, the American
Railway Association, the Association
of Western Railways, of Eastern Rail-
ways, of Trunk Lines, of Short Lines,
Of Passenger Agents and of Freight
Agents. There are Transcontinentai
Associations and New England Pas
senger and New England Freight AS
sociations. There are in all II local,
state, national and international as
sociations of railroads-wlnch are
unions.
Open shop! Organization!!
AS matter of fact the railway men
are infants in arms as compared with
their employers when it comes to the
question of organization, concereted
action and collective bargaining-and
bullying and blundering and lobbying
and propagandizing and subsidizing
and general community cussedness.

You hear lot of the Giving wage"
From the proftering hogs
Who do their best to cause
The working class to live like dops
Their standard of a diving wage"

To keep up such a camoufage
They have world of gall.
A Giving wage" is not enough,
The working class aspire
To bring about Saving wage"
That is their chief desire.
And though the profteering hogs
May grunt and squeal with rage
The workers will not stop
Until they get Saving wage.

The Pity of 1t.

Court Of Honor Journal: Sugar
bowl banks still operate, and there are
yet many who will not invest their
savings in government securities and
who cannot bring themselves to trust
their money to the care of banks.
Recently a man lost his straw hat,
and with it $50 which he had hidden
under the swaziland. He has now
probably lost all faith in a straw hat
as a substitute for savings bank. Had
this mans SIS been invested in regis
tered government securities he would
not have lost his savings.
Recently the newspapers told OF a
man in Greenwich, Conn, who gave a
boy pair Of shoes to take out to be
polished. He received back his shoes,
shining like mirror, but the $4,000 he
had hidden in their toes were gone, and
the boy can not remember who shined
the shoes.

ing the controversy over the hunting
privileges on this body of water \ dele
CATION from Webster City appeared be-
fore the council recently to urge that
the state buy right of way to the
water in order that hunters and others
might reach the water without paying
alleged excessive charges made by three
property owners of Waterloo, who have
sublcased a portion of the land farmed
by Greiner.
When asked about the testimony he
made before the council, Mr.. Greiner
said he had told the state officials that
private hunters had free access to the
lake over that portion OF his land not
leased to the Waterloo people When
hunters came in an auto, he gave
them access over his private road, but
charged % cents for parking their car.
He said he had discontinued this
charge since the circulation of reports
that private hunters were barred from
the lake.
The council took no action on the
request of the Webster City Gun club
