work ?" XIV 2
IT don't SEE any distinction in
principle, but the issue might be ar.
gued. However, the Erie has not
yet contracted for train and engine
service" z$Ett,~ "a -. -, ....., ~-..,..
Mr.. Walsh showed that after en-
actment toNssthe Adamson eight-hour
law the Erie had contracted with the
Phoenix Transit +companw in New
York to handle its floating equip
ment in the harbor in order to
evade complying with the law. In
that case the attorney general of
the United States had decided that
such a. scheme did not take the en-
ploye out from under the benefit of
the eight-hour law.
In his concluding argument Mr..
Walsh contended that railroad en-
ployes operating under contracts
were still under jurisdiction of the
Labor, Board and the transportation
act, and should be held by the
board. He pointed out that in all
such contracts the property of the
railroads-shops, tools and equip
ment-had been retained, because
the management did not dare dis
pose Of it without consent of the
stockholders.
Palpable Fraud, Says Walsh.
"These coal dealers, employment
agents and chamber of commerce
dummies do not come within the
purview Of independent contractors"
he declared. "These roads are COM
PEELED to observe regulations laid
down by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, and they should be
made to recognize rulings Of the La
Dor Board, a government agency Of
equal legal authority.
"This whole contracting business
IS a palpable fraud and conspiracy
to break down the railroad labor
ployes by low. wages and long hours.
These contracts should be set aside
and the law enacted to protect the
workers must be sustained if we are
to have peace and efficiency in the
railroad industry"
1.-THE mere effort on the part of
the roads to set up defense of
these contracts is an insult to the
intelligence of this board. It marks
back to the days when workers had
no rights. I speak in behalf Of L.
100000 men and their families who
are being enslaved and degraded by
this conspiracy"
A decision by the board is not ex-
pected before the latter part q Of
January.

Economically and politically, Amer
loan labor has builded solid
foundation and has begun the erec-
ton OF a structure no important
part of which will have to be torn
down. It has left American labor
free, freer than the labor of any
nation OF the world, to determine it's
own destinies-without an incum-
bering heritage Of outworn theories
or Of colossal blunders due to the
effort to put those theories into ef-
feet. That American labor will
utilize to the full the superior op-
portunities offered by the superior
freedom Of the American movement

anything about. America will ques-
tion.-In the American Federation

can labor has laid q foundation OF
friendship So solid that political
alliance appeared last year in: many
states. The reverse policy, which
has prevailed In Europe, means an
utter reputation of democracy.
Movement I'm Sweden.
It is only in a few Of the smaller
countries such as Sweden and
Czecho- Slovakia that even the mod
crate. anti-Bolshevist wing Of the
so-called political labor movement
tolerates the idea Of a coalition gov
eminent consisting Of representa-
tives OF labor in cooperation with
representatives Of democratic agrar-
ian eleme-4ts. The prevailing hos
tility to agriculture has been chiefly
due to the doctrines and the influ-
ence Of the anti-democratic and Sec
tartan ''intellectuals'' who have en-
tered the European movement
through the wide-open doors Of So
called labor parties.
BY it4 clean-cut political policy,
gradually developed and still in the
process Of evolution, American la
Dor has avoided all the confusion of
a so-called labor party in name only
since every democratic country
must admit and largely depend up
on non-labor elements. Such a par
ty is in reality a party of advanced
democracy. To call it labor rather
than democratic brings two evils.
Not only Is the labor movement
likely to be invaded and swamped by
outsiders, but certain elements of
labor are given by this name an op-
portunity to put forth the theory, as
has commonly occurred in Europe,
that labor can advance politically
through a. non-democratic or even
an anti-democratic program inde-
/ :ndently Of all other groups Of pro-
ducers.
No Glass Lines.
Never for one moment has Amer
lean labor favored or tolerated this
drawing Of class lines between one
group Of producers and another. If
it has waged economic and politica!
war against any part, of society it
has been a war directed exclusively
against parasites and exploiters. 1t
has never preached or tolerated the
theory that organized labor or in
dustrial labor has right to rule
over any other group of producers
but has sought to unite all. producers
against the common enemy.
Fifth, American labor today il
more united than labor of any coun-
try of the world with the nOssible
exception Of Great Britain. And
this unity has been won and held
against stronger influences making
for division than exist in any other
nation, since America has been the
battle-ground of all the theories as
well as all the prejudices Of the
workers Of all Europe: Yet we are
better united. The reason? Labor
tends to unite on all questions: la

from to 10 hours and - hours
at % points on tho system.
When the case Of the federated
shop crafts against the Erie rail-
road was reached, General Manager
r. S. Parsons came forward, accom-
panied by Attorneys H. A. Taylor
and Mitchell Davis Follansbee, the
latter being the roads general coun-
sci. The Railway Employees Depart
ment submitted separate briefs In
each Of the two principal contract
charges against the road. one at
Hornell, N. Y, and the other at
Marion, Ohio.
At Hornell the Erie had turned
over it's shops, repair equipment and
round houses to the newly organ
lied Hornell Construction & Repair
company, and at Marion to the Rail-
way Service company. both incor-
porated by local representatives Sc
lected from chambers of commerce.
The Hornell concern was further
chartered to operate motor trucks
and flying machines, evidently to be
utilized as strikebreaking agencies if
so needed.
The Erie contended as did other
roads, that the board has no juris-
diction over employees and working
conditions operating under private
contract. The employees insisted
that the board had jurisdiction and
asked that an order be issued COM
polling the road to restore former
employees to their old positions and
that every man laid off by the con-
tracing concerns be paid the diff
ference between what they have
earned at other work and what they
would have received if retained at
work by the Erie railroad at the
rates Of pay established by the
board.
Board Member Hooper asked At
torney Taylor this pointed question:

that there is nothing in the trans
portation act to prevent the carrier
from contracting for any and all

"That is a question which l am

Dor tends to divide. on all the non
labor questions that tAke up so
much Of the time and energy OF: the
political parties of Europe. The
word solidarity" is more widely
used in Europe; actual solidarity is
more advanced in the United States.
For International Unity.
American labor is for international
unity. Every superiority that it has
achieved makes it that much more
valuable to the labor world. It does
not claim leadership, but It offers
to the world Of labor the Invaluable
experience of thu oldest political
democracy and the. leading indus
trial nation. 1t hopes and believes
that by following the American
method Of attending to labor affairs
to the exclusion Of the outside mat
ters that divide labor, the national
labor movements of Europe and the
entire world movement will achieve
a new and more told unity. - It well
comes the new tendency OF Euro
pean labor to do as America has
done in putting democracy above all
social dogmas. 1t believes that a
more substantial, more permanent
and more effective labor interna-
tionalism can be erected on this
basis-an INTERN tionalism in which
the working pei ple of every great
nation will be, able to make a dis
tinct and in isp ensable contribution
to the whole. And it believes that
such move ment will be able every
where to ACHE We it's entire indus
trial, social and political program
so far as that program rests upon
democratic principles.
The Future Outlook.
But gre at as have been it's
achievements in the past, American:
labor looks to the future-and it is
for the pur poses Of future deve1ope-
ment that the superiority Of its
methods ar e most marked. 1t has
not offered to- solve in advance all
the. major problems Of government
and industr ny that the rising genera

Earlier in the day President VIII

called out in retaliation TO the move.

would not permit the membership to

they said, would permit the railroads
to hold out against settling their
differences with their striking shop

President wilkinson had previ-
