SHOP STRIKE CUTS INTO ROADS INCOME;
 PROFITS WIPED OUT
August Returns Indicate That Cost of Struggle to Carriers Will
 Be Many Millions.

The railroads are paying heavy price, for the unsuccessful fight they made against their striking shopmen What the final cost will be can not be known for many months to come but reports now being made to the Interstate Commerce Commission o1 operations during August indicate that some of the carriers will be pay ing for many years.
 Two factors cut into railroad in come during August. Because of the demoralized condition of equipment they were unable to meet the demand for transportation, and this adversely affected their gross revenues.
 Even more significant, however, is the drop in net incomes, traceable di- rectly to pay roll charges for incom. potent help and the payment of bonuses to strikebreakers, in addition to providing them food, lodging, and other services. The maintenance of armeis of armed guards also cost a pretty penny. 4
 Reports filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission take no ac- count of the item of deferred main tenance resulting from the strike, a charge of many millions of dollars that the railroads must meet before they are restored to normal condition.
 On roads where contracts have been renewed with striking shopmen aug mented forces of workers are doing a great deal of overtime work that will be reflected in the reports of opera ton for September and ensuing months.
 , The New York Centraps September showing is typical of the situation that confronts many carriers.
 There was a drop of a million dol lars Ill gross revenues, compared with a year ago. Net operating income, on the other hand, shows a decrease, of 50 per cent, the August figure this year being $2,424,oI4, against $5,22o,- oI8 in August of 1921.
 Previous to August the New York Central was running many millions of dollars ahead of it's 1921 profits.

 The gross of the Santa Fe dropped from $22,4o2, ,588 in August of last year to 1o,o43,554 last August The shrinkage is intensified in net in come, the 3,483,8I7 of the August just passed being a decrease of 48o5, ,58o from those of year ago. The loss of profit to the Santa Fe reaches 58 per cent.

Quincy, Mass, Oct. 2o.-As solid as the material they work with, the Granite Cutters International Asso- citation of America faces strikes and lockouts that involve Go per cent of it's membership and extend from ocean to ocean. Recently a number of local settlements have been se- cured and these workers are now paying $T a day to assist those who are, out.
 In California the employers have locked out or forced on strike all members because of their refusal to continue the present wage rate and working conditons> These workers have been out for over year, The employers are striving to establish the anti-union shop and are being aided by the chamber of commerce and bankers of San Francisco. A few strikebreakers are attempting to aid the Contractors, but the black legs only emphasize the difference be- tween them and organized granite cutters.

 IN CORONADO CASE

Washington, Oct. 2o-The United States supreme court has refused the plea of mine owners that the decision in the Coronado case be reviewed If the court granted the request, the case would be re-opened and the court would have to practically reverse it's decision that the United Mine Work CTS of America had no part in the Arkansas strike and that that portion of the lower courts decision, which held the United Mine Workers re- sponsible for three-quarters of mil lion dollars, should be set aside.
 The court held that trade unions could be sued but in this instance the party to be sued is the Arkansas miners and not the international union.
 In rendering that decision Chief Justice Taft expressed regret that the evidence was insufficient to hold the international

 BLUFFING A BOSS

every house we passed, there was some one looking and watching, we knew that all the men were interested and wanted toi come to the meeting, and that if something could be done to get them started, the chances were they would come and we would be able to organize local. So I said to those boys from Berry, "in the hollow between the mountains, 1t carries a human voice long way and the echoes keep reverberating. I know that if we can make those folks be- lieve we have a good meeting here, they will come out, so, l am going to start and speak as loud as I can and 1 want you to applaud as Justify as you can, to create the impression that there is a large meeting out here. " They agreed and l started speaking of the homes in Red Ash. The four ciapped their hands, laughed loudly, etc. asked the men to stand up on the outside and give the women their seats to make it appear that there were women there as we'll as men.
 John Lang, who was waiting close by, soon had some emissaries tell him that we had meeting on. John hur- ried down on his rubber-tired gaso- line railroad motor car to break up the meeting q suppose by threaten ing to discharge the men if they did not leave immediately and a large crowd of the men followed him to watch what took place. @s
 When John got there and saw that there was nobody at the meeting at all but five of us the humor of it struck him so forcibly that he started to laugh himself and went away and left us. Nearly every man in the camp came out to that meeting and we organized a local union before we left +r .-.s =.. 4.... ,.=.=-s. -.-

During the time that I was organ izer in West Virginia in the New River field, I had a good deal of op- position from John Lang, who was then general manager for his com pany, with mines at Rushrun and Red Ash, and two other places, 1 don't just recall their names now. His home was in Red Ash, and he made extraordinary efforts to keep the or ganization from being established there.
 I had held two or three meetings in that vicinity, most of them very scantily attended, and some of them rather stormy as a result of contro- versy between myself and Lang. l was determined to organize the place if it was possible for me to, accord ing1y, kept on trying to get Up meet ings for that purpose,

This hollow formed sort oi natural amphitheatre and was just at the outskirts of Red Ash.
 On the day previous te the meet ing Lang's emissaries had notified every man there that if they attended the meeting they would be discharged On that account when 1 got there, along about 7:3o that evening, there was no one there except the four boys who came over with me from Berry which was just across the river from Red Ash.
 When we got to the amphitheatre we saw there was no one there, but having noticed that at practically

STREET CAR DOOMED
 AS NOW OPERATED

Chicago, Oct 2o-"The electric railway system, city and interurban, must meet the competition of the automobile or go out of business" says the Union Leader, official paper of the organized street car workers of this city.
 Editor Bland IS alert to all the evils of the present street car system, with its clumsy, heavy equipment, its enormous overhead charges because of high financing and it's fares be- cause of these costs that would not be necessary if a spirit of service had been instilled in the system
 The labor editor says the solution of the ills that confront the electric street car system is a lighter and more speedy car with up-to-date methods for safe and fast service.
 Workers can not stick their heads in the sand, ostrich like, and ignore these conditions" he says.
 There must be a spirit instilled into the electric railway business that will attract patronage and hold 1t by giving the best possible service at a reasonable cost This spirit should guide every employe in the service, from the president of the company to the men on the road, in the pit and the workshop There should be an honest, mutual cooperation all along the line.
 Attractive wages and hea1th-main- taining working conditions should prevail throughout, to the end that the service desired may be obtained"
 It is stated that through these methods the electric railway system can be made the most serviceable and ecnnnmical

COY. MILLER JOINS
 MODERN STATESMEN

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Oct. 2o.LIn his campaign for reelection, Cover nor Miller is qualifying for admission to the select group of American statesmen" that is headed by the Aliens, the Coolidges, the B1antons, etc. The latter, however, has been rather quiet since he discovered that Texas voters will not place a man in the United States senate just because he IS an anti-union ghost dancer.
 But Governor Miller is rapidly forging to the front rank of these statesmen" He proved this in. a speech in this city when he told his audience that Samuel Gompers- has not been able to tell me what to do"
 This is hint enough for every cor ruptionist and, advocate of special in- terests. Big business always consid- CTS this a notice that 1t need not fear any Legislation that will levy on pro- fits by providing improved working conditions for wage earners.
 As walls have ears" and letter writing is dangerous, the modern statesman calls for reaction's sup port by his Independence of Samuel Gompers."
 It's a great system and Governor Miller has developed it to fine point.

PULLMAN SEEKS TO SMASH UNIONS WITH
 INSURANCE PLAN
Acceptance of Policy to Be Taken as Meaning Membership in Fake
 Union to Displace Real Union.
By International Labor News Service

By International Labor News Service.
 Washington, D. C., Oct. 2o.-Presi- dent Samuel Gompers of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor today made public the facts in connection with a great campaign on the part of the Pullman company to destroy the Order of Sleeping Car Conductors and other organizations of workers employed by the Pullman company.
 By means of an insurance plan the company Is endeavoring to form a fake organization which may be used as a weapon to oust the legitimate unions in wage negotiations and hearings.
 Here are the facts as made public by President Gompers:
 I. The Pullman company offers to all employees an insurance policy at a low rate made possible by wholesale lnsuring: ...-
 g. The Pullman company will con sider the acceptance of a policy as also constituting membership in the Pullman company union"
 3. The Transportation Act provides that an organization representing 51 per cent of the employees in a craft must be recognized and dealt with in negotiations and hearings under that actf -.' 4. 1 fthe Pullman company can in- duce 5t per. cent of its employees to accept insurance it will then claim that this membership constitutes a union and that this company organ ization must be recognized by the Railroad Labor Board and must re- place the regular bona hde unions in all wage relationships.
 The Pullman company's scheme has aroused Pullman conductors and oth- CT Pullman employees throughout the country. They are incensed by the company's underground method of breaking up the unions, and they de clare that the unions must and will be preserved at all costs.
 The Pullman company has always been antagonistic to unions and has dealt with unions only because it had to; the workers organized and eft the company no alternative. The result of organization has been an improve ment of Pullman service, and an inn provement in the lives and working conditions of Pullman employees, but this Is of no moment to the Pullman company which is virtually without competition in the sleeping car field.
 Pullman employees believe that the Pullman company has hoped to pro- ceed without discovery with it's insur- ance scheme until it had issued poli- cies to 51 per cent of tKe employees. announcing then that it would deal only with the "union" whose birth it would at the same time announce.
 It is considered likely that, knowing the purport of the scheme and the true meaning. of the insurance policies, employees will either refuse them out right, or accept them only under the stipulation that acceptance carries no obligation. It is being urged by alert Pullman conductors that even if it is stipulated that there is no obligation in acceptance of the policies, the com oany will be able to wield the threat of cancellation, an old trick among labor hating corporations. >s
