In a letter just received by the
president of the Washington State
Federation of Labor, from President
Gompers of the A. F. of L., one of
the most shameless chapters in the
record of Senator Poindexter is laid
bare His expose of PoindeXter
should be read by every trades union
list, and citizen in the state of Wash
ington. His letter, in part, follows:
when he (PoindeXter) returned
to Washington after his last cleo
tion he came to my office here and
expressed to me his gratitude for
the support which the labor men of
Washington and l had given him,
without which he said he could not
have been elected. He came to my
office voluntarily and made that
statement but the manner in which
he has since manifested his hostility
to the working people of America
raises the question as to his sincerity
when he expressed his gratitude for
the aid labor had given him in his
last election in 1916.
Zone of the hostile bills Senator
Poindexter introduced was S. 4204.
1t was most drastic measure as it
not only provided fines of $500 and
Imprisonment for six months or both
for wage earnerS who ceased work
to secure better conditions. but pro-
vided that the officers of such or
ganizations should be punished by
fine of $4,000 or Imprisonment not
exceeding ten years or both. 1t fall
ed of passage in the SiXty-siXth con-
gress, but he, Senator PoindeXter,
reintroduced it in the SiXty-seventh
as S. 10. a copy of which Is en-
closed.
"The committee on Interstate
Commerce reported the bill to the
senate and recommended its passage.
There was so much opposition, how
ever, that no attempt was made to
bring it up until one day when only
three members of the senate We're
present-PoindeXter King and
Smoot. The bill was passed by these
three senators, after a number of
motions were made. These motions
appear in the minutes, but no names
are given to show their authors. The
information was Immediately tele-
phoned my office and the legislative
representatives were informed of the
trick. They Immediately sought SEN
ators LaFollette and Johnson and
others who rushed to the senate.
Senator LaFollette was the first to
appear on the floor and he moved a
reconsideration. This tied the bill up
for the time being. Later in the
session Senator Poindexter moved to
take up the bill but objection was
made and it failed again. / have

RAIL MANAGERS
INABILITY SHOWN

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug. 17.-In
a statement issued to the press to-
day, the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers says that even if the rail
Shopmen's strike is settled tomorrow
and the men given a just wage for
the time being, the railway problem
Will not be solved but only deferred
until a future transportation calam
b lty cOmpels the American people to
lace the issue. The question is, say
thc Engineers, whether the railways
OF this country are to be operated
for private profit or for public SER
vice. The railroads under private
ownership have been financed and
managed so that they claim they
cannot combine fair rates to the
farmer and other shippers with fair
treatment of their employees and
reasonable return on their capitaliza-
ton SO long as deficits in stock
dividends are taken out of the wages
of the employees and the service CIV
en- the public, there will be no perm
anent industrial peace on American
railways.
The crux of the whole rail prob
lem, the engineers claim, is the in
ability or unwillingness of American
railroads under present management
to pay decent wage to the railroad
workers. The railroads come before
the American people and say that
they cannot pay living wage and
make 5 ga per cent dividend at
the same time; therefore, they want
wages reduced still further. They
have secured an order from the La
Dor Board fixing railwaymen's pay
as low as 23c an hour, or $1.S4 a day.
This conflict between human welfare
and dividends coupled with the inef-
ficiency of service received by farm
ers and other shippers, makes it
necessary for the people themselves
to control the railroads of the coun-
try, the engineers state, just as they
control the dirt roads as public
utility operated for the good of all.
The railroad workers themselves
have come forward with construct
i've plan to bring this about, under
which the roads would be directed by
technical experts and managed by a
joint board representing the public,
the employees, and the technicians.
Until some such settlement is reach
ed and the principle of public service
dominates the railroad industry,

trial friction between the men who
demand a fair wage and stock own
ers who demand the maximum pos
sible dividend. Meanwhile it is to the
interest of the public at large to
demand settlement of the railway
problem that will combine efficient
service with just treatment of en-
ployes. The present management has
proved entirely unable to accomplish
