RAILROADERS AT BAY
DEFY RUTHLESS EXPLOITERS
Az nc Federated go

New York. General managers Of
railroads running into New York now
admit that at least 70 percent of
the shop crafts workers are on strike.
They still are running advertisements
in the newspapers for shop crafts work
ers Of all kinds.
They also, with the exception Of the
Pennsylvania and Long Island railroad
officials, have in effect Withdrawn their
threat not to take back the workers
BY declaring themselves ready and will
ing to do SO for a time.
The admission of the rail officials
that 20 percent Of the shop workers
are out, to those who have followed
their claims, is equivalent to an admis-
sion that the strike in fact is 100 per-
cent effective here. Detailed figures
furnished BY the union officials show
that $4,000 men are out in the New
York terminal district.
| The declaration Of Samuel Gompers,
president, A. F. Of L. that the full
strength Of the A. F. Of L. is behind
the shopmen, has further strengthen
ed the determination Of the striking
shopmen here.
The railroad workers have been
cuffed and kicked around long enough
Labor cannot afford TO allow such
treatment to continue" said Gompers.
| No word Of any peace move has been
received here from Chicago, according
Ito David Williams, vice-president, In
ternational Association Of Machinists,
and secretary, central strike commit
ltee of this district. He declared that
there would be no settlement save on
| the terms Of the strikers.
Ii has become known that at least
one railroad here has made separate
peace overtures to its striking shopmen.
THE offer was rejected on orders from
IB. M. Jewell. national director of the
strike Of the SIX federated shop crafts.
That the rail managers fear fur
|ther extension Of the strike as indicat-
ed BY the fact, according to union lead
ers, that the New York Central mani
agement has offered to make conces-
sions to the Brotherhood of Railway
Clerks if they would cancel their strike

such other action as may be deemed
necessary to conserve the good name

constituent in the capital. has come out
in an attack on the federal reserve sys-
tenn and its defender, Edward Nelson
Dingley. son of the late author of the
Diingley tariff law.
This younger Dingley writes in the
National Republican. the weekly organ
of the Jim Watson element of the old
guard in the Republican party, He de-
nounces all proposals of governmental
control of the issuance of money as be-
ing unsound if not bolshevistic. He is
particularly irritated at the Ladd bill.
which would give TO the treasury the
power to regulate the amount of money
In the country.
Ladd declares that the private bank
ing interests, thru the federal reserve
board, which they control, are deter
mined to head off any change in the
interest of the people. and that the Din
gley agitation is conducted with that
end IN view. He points out that the
banks now have the power to initiate
and debate prices at will, as they own
the debts.
