SHOP STRIKERS
DOWN
FOR LONG T|E-UP
Union Here Declares Walkout
100 Per Cent Effective and
Fight to Finish.

IF the Washington Terminal
Company not only has all the men
1t needs in its power plants, but
has developed a reserve force. why
does it continue to advertise daily
for shop workers, stationary engi-
neers. firemen and electricians?"
This was the question asked to-
day by Charles A. Fl. Frazier, bust.
ness agent for the striking mem.
bers of Washington shop crafts
locals. as an answer to Sundays
statements by terminal officials that
employment conditions in the power
plant were normal.
Strikers Show Apathy.
A sort OF siege apathy seemed
this morning to have settled over
the more than 1000 strikers and
their heads. They have announced
their determination to stay out
until word-eomes from Chicago to
resume. and claim the detection Is
100 per cent intact, but the pep"
, has markedly subsided. The pros
J pect of a strike lasting several
months instead OF weeks, as was
at first confidently predicted. has
given the union men food for
thought.
At a public strike meeting yester-
day in the Avenue Grand Theater.
P. J. Conlon. vice president Of the
International Association OF Ma
chinists, declared the present move
| by rail employees was one planned
since April. 1921, when the national
agreement with the road executives
was abrogated.
I'VE knew better than to can a
strike on any individual system" ="
! he said, because that would have
] enabled all the other roads to send
in money, men and supplies to
! fight us, and when they had
whipped us on one system. II would
! have been only a short time until
we would have been whipped on an
other. Our only hope was a strike
on a national scale"
Blames Labor Board.
Conlon blamed the Railroad Labor
Board for not revealing the full
imvort of a general strike. The
public was deceived into thinking
| there would be no Walkout. ne SAID.
Then when we did actually go
out" he complained, IAN effort wa
made to put us in the light Of op,
posing the Government and inter
fering with the transportation OF
the mails. There was talk OF
mobilizing a fleet of trucks, and
when we responded bring on the
trucks and we will help put them
in condition and get the mail issue

The strikers have hardly started

every public officer is a trustee. But
the Germans contend that he was a
trustee for them. and as such trustee
ne had to be certain that all property
formerly held by them in this coun.
try, and sold by them, brought its
full value.
Where will this lead to? 1t will
inevitably mean that the Germans,
with the Chemical Foundation is a
precedent, will insist that the United
states Government must return 10
the trusteeship' the wireless plants
and all the patents on war materials
the great Hamburg.American and
North German Lloyd terminals ut
New York city which were sold by
the Alien Property Custodian to the
President during the war for about
$1,000, 900, and which the Germans
can probably show TO have been
worth much more than that.
After Patents Money.
And then the Germans propose to
collect on all former German patents
used by American citizens, and even
by the American Government during
the war. for the very purpose of put.
ting an end to the war which the
Germans started.
\ Underwood charged that a large
number of the so-called German cor.
porations operating in this ciuntry
before the entry Of the United States
into the world war and from which
considerable property was eventually
taken and sold by the Alien Property
Custodian as a war measure were
mere spy centers' filled with agents
of the German government who were
charged with the duty of making re-.
ports on industrial, commercial and
other conditions in this country"
He described how A. Mitchell
Palmer, when Alien Property Gus.
todian, was authorized by Congress
to sell these former German proper
ties and "hit the enemy where II
would hurt by loosening the strnngle.
hold which Germany had secured
upon American industry and com.
merce." The former German hold.
ings disposed of by Palmer were
those Of the "junker class in Ger.
many" upon which much Of the
blame of the world war has bren
placed.
Would Be Reputation.
III the Government should now
undertake. to set aside those sales T"
Underwood said. 'or to account to
the former German owners for any.
thing else than the proceeds OF the
sales, 1t would be deliberate repudia.
ton OF a policy OF the Government
during the war which had much TO dc
with breaking the morale of the Ger.
man people behind the lines and,
CONSEQUENTLY, with finally winning
the war.
my own firm conviction is that
the policy was right and we ought
to stand by II. The sale Of the
properties in question by the Alien
Property Custodian was justified
by all circumstances existing at the
time. Our allies did practically the
same thing. In Great Britain all
the German properties were liqui.
dated. They were not even sold as
going business but were disinte.
grated and practically destroyed.
Similar action was taken In France.
