que constituye virtualmente la dnica

ia facilidad para eXpandir ell credito

una forma de credito en- otra. Esto

PAGE! NINE.

The Farmers and Merchants Bank
at Holloway was robbed on Wednes-.
day morning, April 10TH The amount
that the robbers got away with has
been estimated somewhere between
So, 500 and $4,000 in gold, silver, bonds
and war savings stamps. The prying
open Of the rear window in the bank
was the entrance through which the
robbers gained entrance to the build
ing and the vault was broken into by
the use Of a sledge hammer.
+: There were about SO individual de-
post boxes that. were also looted and
the ones who rented these boxes are
the ones who lost the greater part OF
the money.
1t is believed that the robbery took
place between 2 and 3 O'clock in the

at the usual opening Of the bank.
Sheriff Gilbertson of Benson was in
Holloway on Wednesday and investi-
gated the robbery. The man who lost

by the officers Of the organization just
as members have in matters before
the boards of adjustment.
''The policy thus carried out has
been in accordance with the policy
which the railroads generally adhered
to long prior to federal control with
respect to the trainmen and engineers
and yardmen. Practically every rail
road had agreements with the four or.
CARNATIONS of trainmen and engine
men or 'brotherhoods' .:--.
"Closed Shop" is Not Established
THESE AGREEMENTS DID NOT
ESTABLISH THE CLOSED SHOP
and the companies were free to and
did employ new men without reference
to membership in the organizations
The charge that the Railroad AID,
ministration foisted something new
upon the railroads is not sustained by
the facts.
MIR. McAdoo confirmed Mr.. Hines
statement that practically every first
class railroad in the country had sim.
liar agreements with the organiza
tons of train service employees and
that 142 roads prior to federal control
had maintained agreements with the
shop crafts.
The only purpose Of the Railroad
Administration, Mr.. McAdoo declared
was to extend to ALL employees rules
and working conditions that governed
MAJORITY Of workers in the rail
road industry.
In his testimony before the Senate
Committee, Mr. McAdoo said:
"Practically all Of the railroads un
der federal control had in existence
agreements with the four brother
notes.-the Brotherhood of Locomo
tive Engineers, Order Of Railway Con
ductors, Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen and Brotherhood of Fire

the basis for compensation and regu

opted and put into effect, March 20
1913, the basis Of understanding ar
rived at between Messrs. A. H. Smith
president of the New York Central
G. H. Markham, president Of the Hi
nois Central, and R. II. Ashton. presi
dent of the Chicago and Northwestern
| and the chief executive officers of the
four brOtherhoods.
"Many of the railroads, about 142
under government control had in ex
istence agreements with the six FEEDER
ated shop crafts, and in order tt
adjust controversies arising unde,
these agreements put into effect
May 81, 1918, the basis Of understand
ing arrived at between Messrs. Smith
Markham and Ashton, representing
the railroads, and the chief executiv,
officers Of these federated crafts"
>r Similarity, Mr. McAdoo says, an or
der was issued creating board Of ad
justment for members of the Order o
Railroad Telegraphers, Sw'itchmen'
Union, Brotherhood of Railway Clerk
and United Brotherhood Of Mainten
ance Of Way Employees and Others
boards Created by Agreement
"These boards" Mr.. McAdoo added
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1922-04-26

were created by agreement between
the representatives Of the railroad la
Dor organizations and the OFFICERS
OF THE RAILROAD CORPORA
TiONS as regional directors Of the
Railroad Administration.
"This practice, adopted under fed
eral control, of dealing through these
boards of adjustment with the griev-
ances Of railroad employees and of au-
thorizing the establishment Of these
boards of adjustment between groups
of carriers and the employees and
their organizations has been specii-
cally approved by Congress and incor-
porated in the Cummins-E law
An "absolute essential" to the ach-
ievement Of the nations war program,
Mr.. McAdoo declared, twas to salts
factoriIy dispose Of the labor program,
which was then acute and menacing
There were many grave abuses
in the matter Of working conditions on
the railroads which needed correction
"The wisdom Of dealing with the
subject in this manner" Mr.. McAdoo
said, "has teen fully justified by re.
SUITS"
Cost Of National Agreement
Did the National Agreement impose
unnecessary costs upon the carriers?
Railroad officials have declared that
they were very expensive, but Mr..
Hines declares that under them eff
cheney of workers increased
Mr.. Hines, in his report to the Pres
ident, says that "The traffic units of
service per man hour had increased
from 50 per cent in 1915 to 100 per
cent. in 1919, A GREATER NUMBER
OF TRAFFIC UNITS PER MAN
HOUR THAN HAD EVER BEEN OBJ
TANNED BEFORE"
Frank McManamy, assistant Direct
or of Operations during Federal con
troll, corroborated the testimony OF
Messrs. McAdOo and Hines in an ex
tended presentation before the U. S
Railroad Labor Board.
