NO TROLLEY FARE REDUCTION HERE NOW

ward tile trolley companies than they
were several years ago. and that they
were beginning TO realize the tremendous
problems a traction company had to
face.
In speaking of the cost of operating
and maintaining service he spoke espe-
cially- the drain on the company in the
maintenance of the highways through
which the troleys passed. This has been
relieved somewhat through legislation.
but the time was when we had to main
tain nine feet Of highway for single
track and 10 feet for double track.
This may have been all right when the
cars were drawn by horses; that day is
past and the trolley does not njure the
highway except from vibration. and that
is very slight He cited several in
stances. where this had cost the company
much money. Bridges and their mainte-
nance Is another drain on the treasury
but this also Is relieved somewhat.
The Shore Line company is now oper-
ating at a loss of about $500 for the year
but this is an Improvement over the pre-
vious year, when the company operated
at a loss of SIT 600, and in time we hope
TO get the lines on paying basis. Many
of the burdens of q trolley company are
wholly outside the control OF the COM
pany. 1t is different with the merchant.

The operations of nationwide or
ganization which, it is asserted, has
been bleeding" employers in the
United States out of many hundreds
of thousands of dollars, and has been
responsible for rs per cent of the
strikes by machinists' organizations
during the last two years, were outlin-
ed by f. G. Dawson, general secretary
treasurer of the International Associa-

Mr.. Dawson charged that the organ

perprivate detective agency has
been playing upon the fears Of EN-
ployers regarding the supposed activ-
tiles of radicals and then collecting
large sums to combat dangers which
did not exist.

The employers will have nothing to
do with any form of collective action
by their employees. They in sist that

dividual and they pledge themselves
to protect these workers.
The strike has been on for several
months and was caused by the en,-
ployers victimizing scores of active
trade unionisfs.

AGENCIES EXPOSED BY MACHINISTS' SECRETARY

tional association, with the result that
in that particular instance the plans
Of the agency were frustrated.
One Of the favorite methods en-
ployed by agents, it was declared, was
to plant" l. w. W's and other radi-
Gals in loeal unions sometimes without
the plants" themselves having any
knowledge Of the part they were play
ing in the operations Of the system.
Generally, however, the men who did
the disturbing in the union were train
ed operatives of the agency.
Ninety per cent Of TIE so-called /.

the employ Of an agency / can name
or of similar organizations
Eve machinists don't want to fight
capital" he declared, I'VE want to CO.
operate with capital We know that
strikes and lockouts are wasteful. and
we are trying to stop them. In 1919,
machinlsts in this country lost $92,-
100000 in wages because of strikes
and lockouts. The loss to employers
in profits was about $2O7, 100000. And
the public, Of course, lost through the
shutting off Of production"
Mr.. Dawson SAID that while his in
vestigations and findings had been
confined to the machinists' organiza-
ton, he had no doubt similar tactics
have been pursued in other trades.

Their Fears Played Upon, Manufac-
turers Paid Large Sums To Combat
Dangers Which Did Not Exist

worked their way into the ranks of or
ganized labor to stir up trouble from
within Similar results, it is said,
were obtained from an investigation
of the strike of the marine machinists
at Norfolk, in 1919.
The famous Bridgeport, Conn, con
troversy between the munitions work
ers and their employers during the
war was attributed by Mr.. Dawson to
those whom he characterized as the
parasites who made capital out of
the disputes between capital and la
bor." This instance led to the re-
vocation Of the charter Of one union
of the machinists' organization, and
to the expulsion of 1900 members VINO
had become tainted with the radical
doctrines disseminated by the agents
who were attempting to make capital
out Of the dispute.
The unauthorized strike Of the rail
road workers last year, which was op-
posed by the machinists' organization
was another instance cited by the
union official to show the operations
of the system. The apparently spon-
taneous walk-outs of employees in var
ious parts of the country on that occa-
sion, according to Mr. Dawson, were
prearranged by agents.
Mr.. Dawson declares that an inves-
igation conducted in New York last
year resulted in the detection of 107
agents in the ranks of labor organiza,
tions. Some Of these agents, it is
said, held responsible positions in the
unions, and number of them are still
operating, unaware that the union of
ficials are cognizant of their purposes.
In order to combat the work Of
these agencies, which are attempting
to capitalize the disputes between la
Dor and capital, the International AS
sociation of Machinists, which is one
Of the largest and most powerful Of
the organizations affiliated with the
A. F. of l., has employed secret agents
of its own, who have gained admission
to the ranks of private detective agen-
cies and are keeping the organized la
Dor leaders informed of the plots tc
stir up labor controversies.
The three steps in the process OF
bleeding" the employers, as outlined
are:
First, the introduction of an agent
of the disturbers into the ranks of 9
local union where he devotes his tins
to stirring up hatred of the employer
and exciting the workers to indigna.
tion over real and fancied wrongs.
Second, another agent calls upon the
employer and gives him some conf.
Dental" information as to the activi
ties and plans of the employees. 1t is
represented to the employer that the
men are about to strike, that the rec
movement has raised havoc in the
union ranks and that there is an i'm,
mediate danger of "bolshevik" out

These agencies, said Mr.. Whitman,

All he obtains is reports that so many

money with police.
Several police officials have been
arrested on the charge of receiving
money from business men for "pro-
lection" during strikes. A riot is
easily started and when the business
man asks for protection he is told that
the regular force has not enough men.
