recent defiance OF the Rail Labor
Board.
The Pennsylvania has put into ef-
feet a system of dealing with it's
employees through representatives
elected by the employees. Such rep
rsentatives, however, have to be "ac-
tual employees" cf the company.
The Rail Labor Board July 26,
1921, ordered the Pennsylvania rail-
road to confer with officers of the
unions, and bring about new cleo
ton of representatives of the
employees.
This the railroad has refused to do.
In defying the Rail Labor Board, it
claims that Sc per cent of it's en-
ployees have by vote or otherwise,
as result Of said conferences, ex-
pressed desire to negotiate rules
and working conditions through em-
ployee representatives. Many
of said employee representatives are
union men, and in the case of several
crafts the entire delegation of elect
ed representatives consists of union
men.
The railroad then goes on to deny
the right of the Rail Labor Board
"to invade the domain of manage
ment and to assert jurisdiction over
grievances of whatsoever kind and
character in connection with the em-
ployment, THE discipline and the dis
charge of its employees.
'FThe carrier also asserts and will
exercise its right to deal with its
own employees without the interven-
tion of individuals or organizations
whose manifest object is the denial.
of the fundamental right of en-
ployer and employees TO deal in the
first instance directly with each other
respecting wages and working. cen-
ditions in which they alose are di-
rectly Interested"

INDEMNITY

France fears that Germany may

That would wreck the indemnity

Rathenau, German business giant,
wants to avert the crash by stopping
payment of reparations in gold and
delivering, instead actual goods.
Germany cannot manufacture gold
but she can manufacture enough
machinery and goods to meet her
payments. But such flood of com
modities would hurt manufacturing
in Allied countries. A war is a loss

United States into the league of na-s
tions and European entanglements.
Ever since President Harding's inau-
guration, Senator Watson declared,
the nation has been drifting ire

He also contended that the treat

American citizens WHO had violated
the espionage laws. Referring, ap-

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.--The cotton market

little more optimistic The German news,
with reference to separations, made rather
an unfGvorable impression, however, while
there was scattered realizing or liquidation.

points below last nights closing. This
carried January off to life, or about 20
points from the high level of yesterday.
New Orleans was a seller here by balance,
and there was scattered southern selling.
with the offerings absorbed by trade and
commission house buying.
The market turned firmer after the early
decline, owing to light private ginning re-
turns, and reiterated reports of prospects
for better spot business. Buying was
not general. but sellers covered and there
was also much buying for western and Wall
street account on the advance. which car
ried January up to 17.79c 81 points from
the low level of the morning and % points
net higher. Advices received here from
Galveston say that ocean freight room has
been engaged for large shipments of cot
ton to the Far East.

lions of few points and the market showed
