THERE WILL BE NO RETREAT.

THERE WILL BE NO RETREAT.
The strike of the Federated Shop
Crafts is becoming more effective
with each passing hour. IL the splen-
did showing made by the men who
walked out July l was a shock to the
railroad arrangements, the solidarity,
the grim determination and the loyal
ty shown by the men on strike since
its inception has upset all the calcu-
lations of the rail heads.
Not single line anywhere in the
United States has shown a weak spot,
Everywhere the men are standing as
the Rock of Gibraltar against the on
slaught of the enemy. New accessions
to the ranks of the strikers are TAX
ing place every day. AT many points
even the strike-breakers, brought in
by the railroads, are deserving their
jobs.
Though the railroads scour the
earth, they can not obtain enough
mechanics to maintain their equip
ment on even a single line of rail-
road.
Every day that the strike lasts but
brings the railroads nearer to a COM
plete tie-up and utter Generalization.
For the first time in the history of
railroad labor do we find the trans
portation brotherhoods giving their
whole-hearted support to the striking
shopmen, for they realize that this Is
as much their fight as 1t is the shop
crafts; that If the shopmen are de-
feated, every other class of railroad
labor will be completely at the mercy
of the railroads. Wage reductions
will follow one after another, and all
the working conditions it took them
years to wrest from the arrangements
will be swept away.
AS the strike Is prolonged and the
motive power and rolling stock be-
come more and more unsafe, the
transportation men win hesitate to
handle equipment that is not only
dangerous to the travelling public,
but also dangerous to themselves. On
many roads the transportation men
have already refused to handle the
equipment offered them because of its
dangerous condition, and in not few
places they are refusing to enter the
yards and round houses where guards
are employed; all of which shows the
spirit of cooperation and mutually
of interests that exist between the
Federated Shop Crafts and the
Transportation Brotherhoods.

HARDING TALKS
OF FREE MEN"
TO MAN MINES

Washington.--In urging governors
of coal-producing states to join with
him in breaking the strike of coal
miners, the president said:
Your state government and the
federal government are jointly re-
sponsible for maintaining conditions
UNDER WHICH FREE MEN, WILL
ING TO WORK, MAY WORK IN
SAFETY
This citizens alliance sentiment
that trade unionists are not free men
is in line with the recent attempt or
the railroad labor board to purify
strike-breakers. President Gompers
made this comment on the presidents
invitation to aid him in breaking the
coal miners strike:
Let it not be forgotten that the
strike was caused by the wanton dis
regard of their contract by the mine
owners. They treated their pledge to
the miners as scrap of paper. They
refused to confer with the miners.
They sought to treat the miners as
serfs and the miners refused to ac-
cept such treatment. They ceased
mining coal.
The miners who are on strike are
not going to dig coal until the strike
is ended. The non-union miners are
and have been at work and their num-
Der cannot be increased materially.
The army may go to the mining dis
tricts, but the army is not composed
of coal miners. The fact is that there
is no one to mine coal until the coal
miners now on strike return to the
mines. They will return to the mines
gladly and quickly as soon as the
mine owners agree with them on
terms and conditions of employment"
President Gompers declared that
the country is drifting toward a state
of responsibility in dealing with
both the coal and railroad strikes.
when half millionl men are ag-
grieved," he said, ut is a poor time,
indeed, for the roll of drums, the
rattle of sabers and the pounding of
the mailed fist"

CONGRESS LACKS
COURAGE TO FACE
RAILROAD ISSUE
(By A. F. of L. News Service)

(By A. F. of L. News Service)
Washington.-Thi congress lacks
the courage to present a remedy for
the railroad solution declared Con-
gresham Huddleston, of Alabama, on
the floor of the house. The speaker
made this reference to the house COM
mittee on interstate and foreign COM
merce, of which he is a member:
"Our committee has not yet found
out that the transportation act of
1920 needs to be remedied. Our COM
mittee has not found out the iniqui-
ties of the way in which rates are
made, or the grouping system or of
the incomes allowed to the railroads
under section 15A. But the people
of this country have found out. They
know what was done to them.
1.-THE transportation act of 1920
has now been q law for over two
years. For the first six months of
that time the treasury of the United
States bore the burden Of the mis-
management and inefficiency and the
wickedness of railroad management.
At the end of the six months that bur-
den was passed to the people by an
increase in railroad rates averaging
about 33 1-3 per cent. Under that
burden, intended to yield to the rail-
roads from fifteen to eighteen hun
dren millions of dollars, the people
have reeled until this time.
Their complaints have been met by
the majority in control of congress
by the promise of the passage of bills
designed to remedy the wrong that
was done them. The irritation of the
people has been quoted by the state
ment that these bills are under consid-
Grafton. They have looked forward to
the time when relief would come to
them.
"Now, they find that after all their
forbearance and suffering the commit
tee has declared itself incapable of
dealing with the subject. 1t has de-
ferred consideration of these meas
ures until such time-mark you the
gentle sarcasm--'until such time after
the beginning of the session of con-
gress in December next as the COM
mittee may see proper to bring the
subject forward
I'VE know what that means. All
of us know that there will be no time
at the next session of congress to con-
slider these matters. All of us know
that by taking that action the COM
mittee has interposed a plea of bank
ruptcy to the claim for relief that the
people have upon them.
Oh they say, the law has not
been thoroughly tried. We have not
tested out the transportation act of
1920. We do not know how it is GO
ing to work. Let us give it little
more time for operation
THE same gentlemen are saying
that now who said, when the Esch-
Cummins bill was being considered in
the house, 1T is great constructive
measure
Twin city review. [volume] (Champaign, Ill.) 19??-1929, 1922-07-28

If the government desires to make
> test case, here It is"
These are emphatic words--words
that show the drift of thoughtful
opinion. They show that the whole
nation Is not for a rush Of arms 10 en-
force involuntary servitude. They
show that there are officials and citi-
zens who value American principles
too much to see them wantonly thrust
aside.
These are words of wisdom thrust

Medicines.

FOR DEMoCRAcYl

Lest we should forget that the late
war was fought to make the world
safe for democracy, we will always
remember that when we get through

doughboys in Flanders field, we also
discovered $4,000 new millionaires In
America.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
THEY DON'T ALL AGREE WITH
THE PRESIDENT.

liz
Not all public officials agree with
President Harding, as replies to his
telegram to 28 governors clearly
show.
The President wired the governors
saying he had invited the mine own
ers to open their mines, asking the
governors to cooperate and assuring
federal strength wherever needed.
Two governors sent back word that
is worth listening to.
Governor Albert c. Richie of Mary
land sent the President lengthy
telegram explaining carefully his
reasons for declining to agree to the
Presidents program.
'The traditions of this state" said
Governor Richie, "are those of peo-
pie who have settled such matters as
these without the aid of bayonets and
rifles. 1t is nearly 80 years since
our militia has been used for a pur-
pose of this kind"
Continuing his telegram the Gov
ernor said, "the presence of troops is
often not the assurance of security,
but the revocation of serious trou-
ble."
Governor Morrison of North Caro-
lima was equally emphatic.
"Your position is practically to use
the power of the government against
the strikers" he said in his telegram,
"and in the enforcement of police
regulations and the upholding of the
law the strikers will naturally have
little confidence in the impartiality OF
fairness of soldiers or other agencies
of force directed by a government
which has taken a decided stand
against them, however good the rea-
son such stand may be-"
Though not direct response to the
Presidents activities in the strike
the attitude taken by William Allen
White (editor of the Emporia Ga
zette at Emporia, Kansas) is a re-
buke nevertheless to the policy of the
Federal government as well as to the
government of Kansas, since there is
no difference between those policies
The Kansas Court of Industrial Re-
lations has ordered resumption OF
mining and railroad activities.
Friends Of the strikers in Kansas
have been displaying placards bearing
sympathetic messages. The attor.
ney-general of the state has ruled
that these placards violate the state
and industrial and anti-syndicalism
laws.
Upon learning of this, Editor White
placed in the window of his newspaper
office one Of the placards expressing {
49 per cent sympathy for the strik
ing railroad workers, saying that ht
would add l per cent each day tn,
strike continued.
In his newspaper Mr.. White ex
planned his position in the following
language:
"The order of the industrial cour
is an infamous infraction of the RICH
Of free press and free speech. Ger
tainly it has not come TO pass in thi
country that man may not say VIVA
he thinks about an industrial contro
versy without disobeying the law.

ALL STAND TOGETHER.

These are troublesome times for
labor and this very fact makes it
necessary that we all stand together
in every way possible. The miners
are striking for their lives, the rail-
road workers are doing the same and
in the east 100000 textile workers are
putting up a great strike to save
themselves from being submerged.
They need our every support, let us
give it to them.

BELIEVE BOMB BLAST
WORK OF STRIKERS

Webster, Mass, Jan. 19-A bomb
that exploded on the veranda Of a
four-family tenement here tonight
wrecked the apartment occupied by
Stanley Govina, causing damages
estimated at $400. No one was in
jured. Two weavers who work at
the Flayter mills, where a strike has
been in progress for Is weeks. lived
in the tenement and police tonight
explained the opinion that strikers
or sympathizers were responsible for
the bomb.
Last week the house adjoining the
scene of tonight's explosion which is
also occupied by weavers was stoned
and a reward of 5000 was subse-
quently offered for information as
to the identity of the perpetrators Of
the outrage.
