Evolution

This subject is creating quite

With the defenders Of the bible
on one side and the subjects OF
evolution on the other siue. There
seems to be quite variation be.

created man in his own image
evolution teaches man TO have
originated from brutes, an d
guesses at which specie. 1t is
impossible to believe the teach.
iugs of that part of evolution
and the bible too.
ItIs unlawful to teach the hi
bic in the schools supported by
the State.
a bill has been introduced to
place the same restrictions on
that part Of evolution that con.
tradlcts the bible.
A man who will sanction
a law to prohibit the teaching of
the bible in state schools, and
favor anti bible teachings as to
the creation of man in these
same schools has already demon.
strated one thing, he is really
sincere in his belief that he has

Nothing is SO harmful to the
bible, nothing is SO degenerating

ception Of self. This doctrine is
the fore runner of atheism, and
infdelity. 1t should be curhed

Editor, Alexandria Gazette,
Alexandria, Va. 'ts"
Dear Sir: ''" ,--.
Following is statement of causes
which led to strike of Railroad Shop
men on July /, 1922, and effect Of same.
Since the. end of World War il has
been the expressed purpose of certain
railroad officials, notably those IN the
Northeastern part of the United
States, to disrupt organized labor.
Conditions and wages of shopmen on
railroads in Northeast part of the
United States previous to the war
were little short of actual slavery a
mechanic was paid twenty-nlne cents
per hour. This rate prevailed until
the United States Government toeR
over railroads. when the wages OF me-
chanics were increased to siXty-elght
cents per hour. This gave the me-
chanics in Eastern part Of the country
an increase of tbirty-nine cents per
hour. At the same time mechanics IN
other sections of the country were in
creased but eighteen cents per hour,
due to the fact that they had been re-
ceiving fifty cents per hour up to this
time. At the same time organization
of the shopmen of Northeastern Rail
roads was effected This did not meet
with the approval of certain railroad
executives in that section. so they were
determined when the War ended to
put the wages and conditions back to
pre-war levels, if possible TO do so.
The roads also worked the piece work
system, which at its best is nothing
more or les sthan a slave-driving pro
cess and makes a thief and wreck OF
a large number of men who follow It.
Rates for certain classes of work are
cut to a minimum and men mlsrep-
resent class or amount of work done in
order to augment their earnings. In
locomotive works, this is, in large
number of cases, easily done. Under
organized labor, this cannot prevail,
since a man gives fair days work
for a fair days pay. All the roads
running through this section Of the
country employ nothing except organ
lied labor and have been doing so
for the past twenty years. AS a re-
suit. thev. as rule, have a higher
grade of labor and as exemplification
of this, the Southern Railway Com
pany has not hired strike-breaker,
and to date, thirty-three days after
strike was called are still moving and
have annulled no passenger trains, al
though they are now meeting with Sc
rious delays caused by lack of atten-
tion to equipment The United States
Labor Board was formed with the in
tention of giving justice to both par
ties. The railroads in Northeastern
part of the United States have only
/ respected Labor Board decisions when
fthey reduced wages.
On July /, 1921, after representa-
tions by both parties, reduction Of
eight uents per hour was made in the
wages Of mechanics and helpers. This
was accepted. June, 1922, shopmen
were notified their wages would be re-

STATEMENT OF CAUSES

duced another {, cents per hour.
This last reduction brought the wages
of highest paid mechanics to seventy
cents per hour and lowest paid labor
ers to thirty cents per hour, or five dol
lars. and sixty cents per day and two
dollars and forty cents per day of eight
hours respectively. In monthly pay
ments, twenty-six days to the month
one hundred and forty-fye dollars
and sixty cents and siXty-two dollars
and forty cents respectively. At the
present price of foods and other ne
cessities it was hard enough to make
both ends meet before, bur Gndef the
new rate it was practically impossible.
These men had reached, the. point
where they were determined TO put
an end to this continual reduction Of
wages. They, therefore, instructed
the Grand Lodge officers Of their or
ganizations to call them on strike II
no other way could be found to settle
