new SCHEME
COURT OF "CONCILIATION" THE
WORST YET
Missouri Senator Wants Board of
Three Members With Unlimited
Power To Coerce Labor

Washington-1n a "can' 'tstrike" bill
introduced by Senator Spencer that
lawmaker seems to have reached the
limit in the great indoor sport of max
ing labor safe for autocracy.
The Missouri senator would create
a court of three members, appointed
for life. 1t would have all the power
and rights of United States district
court to enforce it's DEGREES. On the
failure of employers and employed to
settle a strike involving interstate
commerce, this court would make an
award. It's finding could only be re-
viewed by the federal court of ap-
peals in the district in which the
award was made. Another appeal
could be made to the United States
supreme court, if the court of appeals
consented.
With fitting sarcasm Senator Spen-
Ger styles his slave proposal "a bill
to establish the federal court of con-
citation"
Another camoufage is the provision
that the court shall "make no order,
judgment or decree" requiring "any
individual man to work except when
and where and under such conditions
as he pleases."
This "catch" will not fool workers,
who will quickly not that while the
court is debarred from compelling
"any individual man" to work against
his will, no such provision applies to
large groups and masses of workers,
and these, rather than individual
workers, would occupy the attention
of the court.
Section 8 of the act provides: "That
all acts or parts of acts inconsistent
with any of the provisions of this act
are hereby repealed"
Which would permit the court to
smash any federal mediation and con-
ciliation laws that interfered with it's
purpose of bringing every worker
within it's slave jurisdiction.

Records Are Stolen
By Anti-UnioniSts

Toledo, Ohio-In a speech in this
city on "The Courts and the Poor"
William P. Clarke, president of the
American Flint Glass Workers union
stated that records in the unions Of
flee were stolen to aid the Eagle Glass
company in its fight against the union.
"Not being satisfied with keeping
us (offcers of the union) out of West
Virginia for approximately seven
years, the attorneys in the case came
to Toledo and secured other legal as
sistance."
The officers of the union were hailed
before Federal Judge Killets and were
charged with practically every crime
imaginable.
"We answered that we did not know
what they were talking about, but if
they would make their complaint in
direct manner we would make answer
thereto" said President Clarke.
when we appeared in court we
were confronted with upwards of 200
photographs of records which had
been stolen from our office in the Ohio
building in this city. These records
had been photographed and subse-
quently returned to our files. l will
not now undertake to name the thief,
yet with all of their damnable acts we
challenge the opposition to sustain
their charges. We are, however,
thankful that in Judge Killets we
found one who had the courage to
render rebuke to the opposing
counsel"

Rolling Stock a Junk Pile
Dangerous and DepIorable Condition of Railroad
Equipment as Viewed by Member of
Federated Shop Crafts

ScaDS enough IN the united states TO
fill the places of the striking workers.
Our cause is just, and we must
stand by it. If we lose now it would
be back to the dark ages, without
voice, with starvation wages and the
ten hours day labor. That is why
the open shop was started and
financed by Wall street. That is why
the railroad executives took this
means of forcing us to walk out. We
were not seeking notoriety but justice.
We have always showed willingness
to go along with the management and
give or take little in order to have
a harmonious feeling, and were we
dealing direct with the B. & O. Of
ficials today it would be the same.
But while the Wall street element has
them by the throat they have to nod
their heads in the affirmative, or be
throttled. That such is the case can
be seen by the agreement offered our
federated committees by the various
roads under the pretext of wishing
settlement. They were all word for
word the same as had been laid on the
table for the president of the United
States to view. The principal point to
cause this disagreement was to leave
this handful of scabs in their present
positions. Believing in the old adage,
lone rotten apple will spoil the whole
BARREL" we thought it best not to run
the risk.
Our executives are ready to settle
at any time, whenever the railroad
executives wish to talk employment
instead of slavery, and to consider US
as human beings instead of just an
article of commerce to be bought and
sold as the whim of some official like
Atterbury, of the Pennsylvania might
suggest. And the sooner they get this
idea imbued in their thick skulls the
sooner we will be back on the job
making their rolling stock safe for
transportation. (Did we not make
the world safe for Democracy Now
we have made it safe for unionism,
which is another great achievement
credited to the American people.
While it is some satisfaction to see
the delapidated condition of the roll
ing stock, yet down in the heart of
each and every worker there is the
secret sorrow to think that the work
to which they have given their time
and talent, and spent hours of hard
toll, should be handicapped by few
nearsighted railroad executives. And
what will be their gain? Nothing.
But their loss will be the confidence
of their employees, and the trust which
the public has usually placed in them.

PRES. OF HARVARD
TELLS WHAT AMERICA
OWES BLACK RACE
(The Associated Negro pressl

BOSTON, Mass, Nov. 24-President
A. Lawrence Lowell of Harvard Uni
versity, in recent address, delivered
in Old South Church, quoted Trevel-
yam as saying that it was well that
the anti-slavery societies succeeded in
their work of liberating the slaves be-
fore the present exploitation of Africa
by European powers began, or else
slavery might have become emmeshed
in the worlds fibres so that nothing
could tear it loose.
THE triangular trade conducted
from New England was most iniqui-
tous," declared President Lowell. mo
lasses was brought from the West In
dies, made into rum in New England,
carried to Africa and traded for
slaves, which were then transported
by the shipload to the West Indies"
American Debt to Negroes
I'VE owe the colored man foul
things" said President Lowell-"our
sympathy, above measure, for the suf-
fering that he has gone through and
that he is going through; justice, that
he be judged by the law and that he
should have protection from violence,
for which there is no excuse; oppor-
tunity to achieve anything that he is
capable of achieving in any career or
profession, anything that his abilities
make him able to do, for a man is
happy when he is doing what he is
best fitted for; and our thought on his
problems, his needs, his talents, and
his capacities.
at is not only in the South that
there are determinations against the
colored man. In the North there are
some trades from which the colored
man is virtually excluded. We have
not discovered what the colored mans
greatest capacities are
"a man has right to self-respect.
He has right to the respect of his
self-respect, which comes from devel-
oping and exercising ones best abili-
ties.
Hampton Institute is educating a
large number of colored boys and
girls. 1t is assuring them of an inde-
pendent living, and is therefore as
suring them of self-respect"
President Lowell urged the members
of the large congregation to see
Hampton, for the sight of it is an in
spiration"

BLACK MAN ELECTED
TO OFFICE ON THE
DEMOCRATIC TICKET
(By the Associated Negro Press)

(By the Associated Negro Press)
NEW YORK CITY, Nov. 24-One
colored candidate won in New York
and his victory was a big surprise
Lawyer Henri w. Shields, Democratic
aspirant from the 21st assembly dis
trict, was sent to the legislature. Boil
den, race Republican candidate, made
good run, but the general disaffec-
tion from the Republican ticket by
colored voters caused his defeat by
few hundred. Oliver Randolph, the
only colored candidate in New Jersey,
was elected to the legislature while
Congressman Parker, who voted
against the Anti-Lynching bill, met
the dust. He was fought as bitterly
by colored voters as was Layton of
Delaware, who bit tie dust when Rob-
ert Nelson's cohorts took the field
against him. Dupont suffered as re-
suit Harry E. Davis of Cleveland lost
for the legislature. The terrific fight
against Pomerene by the labor unions
nullified whatever colored support he
won.
