GOMPERS MAY
CALL NATION
WIDE STRIKE

All union eyes are turned toward
Washington, where the next move On
the part of organized labor will be
made Saturday to bring the railroad
strike to a successful conclusion. On
that day the executive board of the
American Federation of Labor will
take up the matter of a cessation of
work in all organized crafts until the
railroad managers accede to the de-
mands of the strikers.
This action, if taken, will be on the
appeal of nearly every central labor
body in the United States. Union
lists everywhere recognize the shop
mems strike is the strike of every or
ganized worker; that if it is lost, it
will be only a beginning in a union
busting program that is calculated to
disrupt organized labor entirely, and
they are insisting that if there must
be a fight to a finish, it might as well
come now as later.
Locally, organized labor has taken
no official action in demanding a gem
eral strike, although it is understood
sentiment is very strongly that way,
especially in railroad circles.

open PORT" LAW
MEANS SHUT UP

The Farm Labor Union, a Texas
organization, is growing rapidly, with
farmers everywhere rushing in to 1t.
This year they will pool the selling
of their cotton and their political
power The constitution calls for the
fullest support of organized labor.
Presently it will be difficult for any
but labor's friends to get a nomina-
ton in Texas.
Feeling against the "open port
law of Texas--a greater atrocity than
the industrial court law of Kansas
is becoming as widespread among the
farmers as among the workers in the
cities. Denison and the surrounding
country is under the omen port law.
Company gunner arrest any person
who writes publicly, displays any
sentiment, or speaks to two or more
persons in favor of the striking shop
men. It's the hOosegOw for anybody
who says "scab" or "strikebreaker'
aloud. Meanwhile the farmers
through the Farm Labor Union, are
feeding the strikers.

SEEK TO IMPEACH
DAUGHERTY AND
JUDGE WILkERSON

New 1ork.--lnitiation of proceed
ings for the impeachment of Attorney
General Daugherty and Federal Judge
Wilkerson of Chicago on the ground
that the strike injunction granted by
the latter at the formers request was
in violation of the constitution, was
urged on Senator Borah in telegram
dispatched by John J. Dowd, chair
man of the general strike committee
of the eastern shopmen.
The message addressed to Senator
Borah as chairman of the senate COM
mittee on education and labor, fol-
lows:
"On behalf of $4,000 railroad shop
men on strike in the New York metro
politan district We urge upon you the
immediate necessity for the impeach-
ment of Attorney General Harry M.
Daugherty and Federal Judge Wilker-
son.
"The injunction against the striking
railroad shopmen requested by the at
torney general and issued by Judge
Wilkerson, constitutes a violation by
high government officials of the con-
stitutional guarantee of American
freedom and of specific federal stat
utes without precedent in the history
of the nation.
soft words of Interpretation spok-
en- in high official quarters after the
issuance of the injunction cannot miti-
gate the plain language and intent of
the document. Nor can they wipe out
the astounding admission by the at
tornely general, reported in the press
the day the order was issued, that he
would use the power of the govern
ment to maintain the open shop"

GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE

A. +. of l.. Legislative Representative Tells Congress
To Eliminate Price Fixing and Wash Buyers.

The property Of the citizen, aud hence
the mine that IL not economical, or
the mine that IL inelficiently managed,
or the high.eost mine, becomes the
standard, and the cost of coal Is raieed
instead Of being reduced at any at-
tempt al price fiNalion that the goye
ernment can make and keep within It's
powers granted by the Constitution.
Now, ! believe that by protecting the
consumers from this condition, or by
sYerting fear, which IL panic, and by
making them recognize that the gov
eminent will see to II that they Will
get coal as they need II and when they
need IL. aud the recognition of the
fact thai the industry IL capable Of
producing plenty Of coal, you will be
able TO pfeyeat runaway market.
II will result In distributing the conl
on hand as Il Is produced evenly over
the country, and IL viii be beneficial.
! want 10 say IN connection with this
that my fear Of price llxation Is based
upon past experience
IF the gentlemen here viii let
their memory 90 back 10 the two In
dustries that have been most dis
tufbed ia the last few years, you will
find that they were industries that ran
constantly prior to the war. There
may have been local strikes here and
there, but there was nothing very
serious. There WIS never a railroad
strike In the 30 years prior TO the
war Of such consequence that ID en-
dnnpered the public. There was never
a coal strike prior 10 the World War
Of such consequence that 1t en-
dangered the public welfare gener-
ally, but since or during the war,
recognizing those two industries as
essential industries, there was gov
eminent price fixing In connection
with them. There WAS government
price fixing and government wage
fixing at that time, and from that
time there has been a tendency TO
demand government Interference, or
tendency on the part Of the gov
ernment % interfere. Instead Of pre-
venting disturbance In those indus.
tries, they have caused a disturbance
in the industries. The men in look
ing 10 the government fer their
wages will hold the government re-
sp6nsible for the disagreeable eircum-
stances that arise In their everyday
life because of the wage they lack,
or because Of the wage that they
think they should have, but which
they have not got. The blame is put
on the government, and | doubt
whether the government itself can
stand under those circumstances.
repeat that the fact Is that when the
owners of the industry and their men
were let 90 untrammeled, each rec
ognizinQ the others rights, they had
no such disturbances, and the sooner
We get back 10 that condition the
sooner sc Will have eliminated the

The former federal official named sess

paid BY them were low, and they
agreed with the Franklin n. Lame
report, which stated that when the
government took control Of the roads
bi per cent Of all employees were paid
$40 month nr less. These railroad
managers are now blaming the rail-
