THE LATEST ATROClTY



When | save in the papers how a
crew of railroaders had left pas
senger train, with all on board, out
in the middle of the great American
desert, | naturally grew indignant.
Just think of these brutal huskies
leaving poor tender women and chill
dren, to say nothing about widows,
orphans, widowers and flappers,
stranded among the sand hills and
cactus.
In my minds eye, could see these
poor critters dragging themselves
and their luggage over the burning
cinders of the railroad tracks, be-
meath a pitiless sun and followed by
bowling buzzards and sinking coy
otes.
Next thing" | said to myself"
"these barbarians will cut off baby
hands and nail Pullman porters to
barn doors to win their bloody strike"
Yes sir, | was just about looking
for my old shot gun to put an end to
this outrage when the thought struck
me that I'd better locate that deserted
train first.
After considerable stirring around,
found these refugees were strand
ed in town called Needles, Califor-
MIA. Looking up the particulars
about Needles, found the burg had
three thousand inhabitants, two
hotels, Harvey house, Carnegie
library, seven churches, three movies,
three cemeteries, four garages, a
Rotary club, chamber of commerce
and a steamboat landing.
When | beheld all this parapher-
MALTA Of civilization, | concluded that
these stranded passengers could pad
die their own canoe through that
desert, knowing that a steamboat
landing is usually located near water.
What gets my goat is why the
president Of the United States, who,
by virtue of his office, is the wisest
man in the whole country, did not ask
some bright boy or girl to look up
Needles, California before he wrote
that eart-hreaking letter about these
passengers left dying in the midst of
the great American desert by that
brutal train crew?-Illinois Miner.

NO CAUSE For GLOOM.

There is no cause or excuse for
the gloomy future predicted for the
labor movement as voiced by some
of its leaders great and small who
doubtless feel called upon to rally
the membership by means of pessi-
mistic proelamations in these times
of bitter attack. Out of turmoil and
strife will come a solicited movement
in contrast to that of the immediate
past that has been torn with internal
discussions. The gravest dangers
hinge around the growing hatred for
union labor upon the part of the
average citizen who bases his present
beliefs upon exaggerated press stories
and the many acts of violence occur
ring throughout the country. Crimes
committed by the radicals in the ranks
are charged to the entire movement
composed in the majority of good
citizens who do not approve of these
acts at any time or in any commun-
ity. These things must be lived down
and union labor must demonstrate to
the nation at large that it is a con-
structive force for good, that it be-
lieves in its country and that it is not
founded upon the belief that it can
enjoy privileges not bestowed upon
its neighbors in other walks of life.
The history of human betterments in
this country, too numerous to men,
ton, is replete with those that were
given birth in union halls by wage
earners who were not guided by sell
fish motives but who sincerely desired
to see coming generations bettered
physically, mentally and spiritually
These things are temporarily forgot
ten but your straight-thinking citizen
can be made to realize these facts
after the present wave of hysteria
that is affecting the minds of all has
passed away.

we're not successfully operating in
1921.
To the Italian workers, however,
belongs the credit for the greatest
achievement in cooperative produc-
ton. There the producers own farms,
ships and factories. They have con
structed comparatively and now oper-
ate a successful railroad. They are
now building a great canal to connect
Milan, capital of Bombafdy, with the
river Pc, providing a valuable outlet
to the Adriatic sea. Within the past
month the strong Italian Federation
Of Metal Workers Cooperative sol
cieties (Federazione Italiana dele Co
operative Metallufgiehe) has been
formed to unite all the workers CO.
operative societies in the metal IN
dustry to purchase raw materials col
lectyely, to standardize their pro-
ducts, and to market them in an or
derly and socially useful manner
The first requisite for successful
producers cooperative in the United
States is the mobilization Of the credit
power of the workers under their own
control. For those who control credit
control industry. Let each great un-
ion of workers and farmers establish
its own cooperative bank to keep the
funds of the producers out Of the
hands of spectators, manipulators,
and exploiters, and use them for pro-
duetive purposes only, and a new day
in industry will dawn.
Producers cooperative societies
have no desire to do away with con-
sumers- cooperation. In fact, they
wish to expand and strengthen the
present consumers organizations as
distributing points for their products.
They should as i'm England, form such
a close alliance with consumers So
cieties that they share with them the |
savings and economies effected by CO.
operative production. The interests /,
of the producers and consumers are
not opposed. Workers are both pro
ducers and consumers, although /
grouped differently their interests are
identical when laboring for the com
mon good instead of for private profit.

HOUSE OF LORDS STUFF


Daugherty's injunction in the raj
stiike-at Harding's request-shoWs
that the United States stands indus
trially today where England was be-
tween 1875 and 1871 so far as labor
is concerned.
England started the practice Of
issuing injunctions, but abandoned it.
The people forced its abandonment.
There's a lesson for the United States.
In the United States reaction Is in
trenched in our courts, especially in
our federal courts, and most Of all
IN our Supreme Court. In England
reaction reigned in the House Of
Lords.
In the Tai Vale Railway case the
House Of Lords held that a union
could be sued just like a corporation.
Ia the Coronado case our own Su-
preme Court quoted the TAFT Vale
case in defense of a similar decision.
But the people Of England rebelled.
Parliament passed the Trades DIS
putcs Act of 1906 and thereby put the
House Of Lords in its place. Since
then no court in England has dared
grant an injunction against union
to DO so would be illegal.
OF course the Clayton Act makes
the Daugberty injunction illegal in
the United States. Every body knows,
however, that Daugherty cares moth
ing for the law except TO flaunt it and
violate it in behalf OF malefactors of
great wealth. That's the reason for
The impeachment proceedings against
him. If the people of the United
States were properly represented inI
Congress, Keller's resolution would
not be suppressed in Committee, as
republican leaders assert it will be.

Cleveland THE shop mems strike
settlement was scuttled the night of
August IT," says Locomotive En-
gineers' Journal.
Forces behind the screen did their
work secretly and well. The follow
ing morning President Harding de-
livered his message to congress on
the industrial crisis, climaxed by a
pledge placing the full forces of gov
eminent behind the strikebreakers
and railroads.
cit is believed that an advance copy
of the presidents address was brought
to New York the night before.
Certainly copy lay before the rail-
way executives the following morn
ing before the president had deliv-
cred his message to congress. From
that time ON endeavors to effect a
peaceful settlement satisfactory to
both sides were out of question"
The Locomotive Engineers Journal
refers to the presidents second set
Element offer as evidently drafted
/ either by those ignorant of the issues
at stake or else deliberately contriving
to prolong the strike with an utterly
/ impossible proposal"
This settlement provided that the
/ question of seniority would be re
/ ferred to the railroad labor board. 1t
was made following the president S
declaration that he would use the big
stick over the rail executives if they
rejected his first offer, which would
reinstate the strikers.

WHITE HOUSE PLEDGE
BROKEN; BIG STICK
USED WRONGFULLY
(By A. f. of L. News Service)

Atlantic City,, N. J.-In his speech
before the annual convention of the
international Typographical union
President Gompers told the delegates
of moves in connection with the shop
mems strike that are not generally
known.
The trade unionist recalled the pro-
longed meeting of the shop mems
executives and President Harding
when the president recommended that
the strike be called off; that the
strikers be returned to their former
positions, and that other questions
be referred to the railroad labor
board.
In urging the shop mems execu-
tives to accept the plan, President
Harding said:
"If you men accept this proposal
for the settlement of this strike | will
use the big stick, if necessary, upon
the executives to compel them to ac-
cept it."
The shop mems executives accept
ed the plan, which was rejected by
the railroad executives. How the
president swung the big stick is best
told by President Gompers before the
Typographical conventions:
1.-THE president swung his big stick,
not upon the railway executives who
rejected his suggestion, but upon
the railway shop men who accepted
his otfer-a club in the form of this
injunction secured by his attorney
general, Daugherty."

Senator King.-It would appear
that some of the officials of the Ship
ping Board are more interested in
carrying on a propaganda to secure
a ship subsidy than they are in ex-
eeuting the law and discharging the
duties which rest upon them.
They seem to forget that their
duty is to carry out policies declared
by Congress and enacted into law.
They exhibit the faults of other exc
cutive branches of the government
and devote much of their time to
securing legislation and holding pub
lie sentiment-time which should be
expended in performing the duties
which the law lays at their doors.
Mr.. Lasker has not been employed to
carry on a campaign for the shipping
subsidy bill. With the record of the
Shipping Board, it will be, in my
judgment, a long time before it will
obtain further appropriations for
shipbuilding purposes.

Representative Summers of Texas
But, gentlemen, there is something
far more important involved in bill
touching the Federal judiciary than
the mere matter of dollars and cents.
The man who wears the robe of a
Federal judge tries the citizens of
this country for their lives and their
liberties and adjudicates property
rights. The citizenship of this eoun-
try have no power, directly or in
directly, broadly speaking, to choose
their Federal trial judges. Now, let
us see. am referring now to the
new judge for the State of New
Mexico. The record shows that the
Judge now provided for the State of
New Mexico-the judge already there
during the fiscal year covered up the
last report of the Attorney General
