manently written into our statute books.
This Is our preliminary answer to the

THE Volstead law IL q lie on its face.
1t draws no line between proper and
an improper use of LIQUOR II denies
that there Is any justification whatever
for the use OF light wines and beers IL

SAYS BIG FOUR PLOTTED
TRAIN TIEUP IN DESERT
Santa Fe Vice-Presdent Declares 1t Was Deliberate
Conspiracy and 'Inhuman Act-Strike Called
Because Road Had Won Against Shopmen

at Needles. received q committee of Ave
representing the marooned passengers,
who asked them to man the trains to
help the sufferers They were told that
mot a damned wheel would turn until
the Santa Fe removed the guards about
its yards.
I'm addition to the indefensible treat
ment of the passengers. nearly three
hundred carloads Of perishable products
belonging to farmers are standing at
Needles and other points and are fast
deteriors ting.
No Justincation for 1t.
This sympathetic strike on the Santa
Fe is not only a conspiracy, but it Is also
without the least substantial justifica-
ton. actual conditions considered, and is
the result of statements issued By some
of the brotherhood executives that men
could leave their work If they considered
conditions were haxardous. leaving the
men themselves tc be the judges Of
whether they would work or not, and
in effect practical invitation to them
to do what they have done. / am adj
vised no responsible officer OF the Big
Four brotherhoods has been on the
ground at Needles to learn true condi-
tions.
THE Santa Fe received last week
from its connections and moved over Its
lines the largest number of loaded
freight cars in its whole history, which
is absolute proof OF its perfect physical
condition. The sympathetic and illegal
strike has been called because the Santa
Fe had won against the striking en-
ployees OF the shop crafts.
"The people marooned at Needles, in
cludng those whose destinations were
to Eastern points. have been started
back toward Los Angeles on a train
manned by officials. which left Needles

CHICAGO. Aug. 1s.---The action OF
members OF the Big Four" brotherhoods
In abandoning through passenger trains
at Needles. Ariz.; Barstow, Cal. and
Seligman, Ariz.. was denounced tonight
as a deliberate Conspiracy" violation
Of their solemn agreements with the rail
road and an 'inhuman'' act by A. q.
Wells, vice president of the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad.
None OF the reasons given for these
lawless acts is valid" Mr. Wells de-
clared. "The Santa Fe has asked no
man to take out unsafe equipment. 1t
has no unsafe equipment and has been
and is literally meeting all requirements
of the safety appliance act Inspectors
of the bureau of safety, Interstate Com
merce Commission. have made many ex
aminations recently of the Santa Fe
power and have given the company q
clean bill OF health.
.'Lawless, Inhuman Conduct"
The sympathetic strikers have given
no specifications as to unsafe equipment
or other unsafe conditions In the--en-
vironment where the strike took place.
For justification OF their lawless and
inhuman conduct at Needles and other
desert places they are driven to refer
TO some bomb throwing few days ago
at San Bernardino. $50 miles away from
Needles, where the trouble has not been
of a sort to induce train service men to
refuse to perform their accustomed
duties. and which incidentally occurred
subsequent to the calling OF the strike
at Needles.
After abandoning trains filled with
people, including aged, infrm. women
and children, in the desert, with the

Punishment for strike.

IN addition TO this there was the reso-
luton Of the board to the same effect on
duly ?. 1922, and a statement By Chair
man Ben w. Hopper on July 2s, which
practically established the principle that

and the protection given by the gov
efnmental body.

Resolution sent to Cradle.

The resolution was telegraphed at
once to President Cradle. who is now in
Washington. according to Dave Will

Leslie Miller eventually confirmed the
resolution over the telephone in his home
in Plainfieid. He said the specific
troubles that had led to the councils
action was refusal Of the Pennsylvania
and the Erie to meet with their men to
discuss grievances.
An added breach was charged to the
Erie, Mr.. Miller said. In the fact that
that road was alleged to be contracting
It's section work in the vicinity Of Port
Jcrvis, N. Y. to non-union gangs. Other
minor grievances were alleged.
Developments along much the same
