10000 RAILWAY
WORKERS TO TAKE
VOTE ON STRIKE
Ballots Ordered Sent to Six
Shop Crafts and Switch.
men.
By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, April 22.-Grievances
centering about the contract system
employed by some railroads in the
handling Of repair work has res lifted
in a vote for distribution of strike
ballots to the 100000 members of the
railway employees department of the
American Federation of Labor. This
department comprises the six fed
Grated shop crafts and the Switch
mems Union of North America.
Authorization for the strike ballots
was voted at the sixth biennial con-
vention of the department, which has
been in session here two weeks aRC
which concluded its sessions today
The vote to send out the ballots was
taken yesterday and officers declared
that ii was counter move to ,''an ef-
fort to crush our organization COM
pletely."
Certain Of Vote.
"If there is a strike, and I fee
sure our men will vote solidly for it
it will be in protest of the action oi
railways in ignoring decisions of thu
United States Railway Labor Board,
said B. NJ. Jewell. president of the
railway, emyployes' department.
The labor board now has several
complaints against the contract, or
farming out system, pending. 1t has
been expected that a decision would
be rendered soon after the conclusion
of the present wage hearings.
The carriers have arbitrarily re-
duced wages in defiance of the board -
said Mr.. Jewell. They have restored
the 'piecework system and resorted
to the farming-out system. which is
mere subterfuge. by which they
dodge labor board decisions.
Sure Of Showdown.
"A year ago our membership was
overwhelmingly in favor OF war in
protest against the 12 per cent re-
duction already then announced and
given effect last July. When the
date same, however, we favored peace
because of assurances given by the
labor board that no further wage
reductions would be considered for
some time.
But this time, I am sure. the is
sue will come to a showdown. So far
as we are concerned. it is fight for
existence"
Mr.. Jewell said the wording of the
strike ballots was not vet determin-
ed, but that the question was simple
whether to strike or not to strike.
He added that the ballots could be
sent out soon and that the result of
the vote should be known within
sixty days.
Dodging Ruling, He Says.
Mr.. Jewell charged that the roads
are .uodging the boards rulings" by
letting out shops to contractors, who
are not technically within the juris-
diction of the labor board.
"The carriers have been getting
away with it thus far" said Mr..
Jewell. I'VE are going to find out
whether they can continue to do SO.
The board, it must be remembered,
has no real power to enforce it's de-
cisions. 1t must rely solely upon the
influence of public opinion
There has been strike for some
time on the Western Maryland rail-
way against the farming out OF
maintenance-of-wa work.

 The duties of this collector are to advise various merchants, profes- sional men and owners of vessels regarding the territorial tax laws which require the payment of H. cence tax for conducting the various businesses.

With the exception of but one or two cases the collector was met with great courtesy and payment was made with out protest. In this regard MT. Mock wishes to thank the people of Nome thru the Nome Nugget, for their hearty CO., operation and willing observance of the law.
 Speaking of Nome Mir. Mock states of all the camps he visited in Alaska. Nome has the appearance of being the most lively; more pep. en- thusiasm and actual business is being, evidenced here than any where along the line.
 MT. Mock left Friday for St. Mich ael on the Valdez and will return to Juneau over the railroad instead of waiting for the Victoria and re- turning by the long expensive water route to Seattle. Being able to make his return in this manner the territory will be saved consider able expense. which at the present time of an embarrassed treasury. is much to be desired.
