"DESPOTLSM"
Of Trade Unions Attacked
By LOree

New York.-Fresh from dividing
the railway executives association be-
cause of his opposition OF a settle
ment with the railroad shop men
President Loree, of the Delaware &
Hudson railroad, now proposes that
labor be rescued from union "despot-
ISM" He EMBODIED his plan in a
speech before a section of the Ameri-
can Bankers Association.
The railroad executive took the
usual position of ants that there is
no difference between a trade union
and group of business men who lose
their identity in corporation which
IS formed for the express purpose of
limiting the liabilities of each mem
Der of the corporation to the amount
of money he invests.
Mr.. Loree said labor was attacking

cause it opposed the shop mems in

junction. He also referred to the in.
junction as "the law of the land"
The speaker declared that the res
cue of labor 8from an organization
that has become its tyrant" can only
be accomplished from the outside
Mr.. Loree did not indicate who is best
equipped to lead this fight, and his
name was not suggested because he
has lost few tail feathers himself
through differences with fellow rail
executives.
The bankers were urged to devote
time and thought to ways and means
to help the laborer There was no
suggestion that the laborer be urged
to help himself through joint action.
The speech was of the usual citi-
zens'alliance variety that Us inva-
riably delivered at the small town
banquet of prominent citizens.
Prior to the speech, trade union
lists classed President Loree as an
able opponent

Seventh Vice-President Stanley Ogg
was assigned by the executive board
to represent the O. S. F. of L. at the
state convention of the Fire Fight
ers' Union, which convened in Can
ton last week at the Moose auditorium
He made the opening address to the
Fire Fighters, and during the course
of his remarks was loudly cheered
and applauded for his efforts. Presi-
dent Scott Powers and secretary
treasurer, Joe Kirbey, were reelected
by the fire laddies.
Brother Ogg, on the invitation of
the organizer of the union, addressed
the newly formed organization of
rubber workers at their meeting in
Akron on Thursday night. Indica-
tions point to Brother Ogg becoming
a national figure in the labor move
ment The calls for his services are
becoming numerous, and everywhere
that he appears he is well received.
