I'VE construe the presidential

attention to the fact that the proc

upon the stoppage Of work by the
workers, sought to create the i'm
preston that the workers were act

called for no action to alter the con-
duct OF railroad ma >agements.
I'VE call attention to the abject

Washington, July 27.-Speaking
for and in the name of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, the execu-
tive council Of the federation has
adopted a proclamation of facts in
connection with the railroad shop
mems strike which sets forth the
important truths of that nationwide
movement.
The proclamation has been for
warded to every affiliate of the A.
+. of L.. and says, in part:
1.-THE workers engaged in the pres
ent struggle are in no sense engaged
in a conflict against the government
Of the United States and we de-
nounce most vigorously the efforts
that have been made to make it ap-
pear as if the government is being
attacked.

plea by the railroads putting into

which the workers are unable to
accept.
1.-The stoppage of work, can be
ended at any moment through joint
negotiation between the. railroad
management and the workers and
there is nothing to prevent the rail
roads from adopting this course at
any time. The transportation act
specifically provides that both par

MAKING MERCHANTS SELL
TO BREAKERS OF STRIKE

Governor AlleA's Kansas 'can't-
strike law is being pushed to its
logical conclusion, and is now used
against merchants who refuse to sell
to railroad strikebreakers. I: is stat
ed that Adjutant General Martin,
who is in control of the state troops
Hat Parsons, has announced that any
merchant refusing to sell goods ito
men employed at the railroad shops
will have his store closed by the
troops and not permitted to do

MAIL DELAY NOT
CHARGED TO men
Not a Single Case Reported In
wolves Union Shopmen.

Washington, July 27.-While the
press of the country is filled with
wild stories Of strikers interference
with mail, not single case of this
kind has been reported to officers of
the Railway Mail association, says
H. W. Strickland, industrial secre-
tary of that organization. These
workers man the mail cars.
In asking local officers to report
any violence or interference exer-
cised by the striking shopmen to-
ward mail crews, mail cars or mail
trains in active servcie, Mr.. Strick-
land says:
"This does not refer to mail trains
that may have been withdrawn for
various alleged reasons. Nor does it
have reference to delays and failures
in operation due to defective engines
or other equipment, but only to di-
rect interference with mail crews or
mail cars in actual service.
THE reason that actual service
is mentioned is b, use of the fact
that cases have been reported where
strikebreakers were being transport
ed in dead head mail cars for the
purpose of giving them the protec'
ton which surrounds the mails;
though, of course 'dead-head' mail
car used in this manner is not en-
titled to any protection by the post
office department.,
1T is especially desired that great
care be used in getting authentic
| information regarding any cases Of
violence or interference"

ties to an industrial dispute may
come together for the purpose of
reaching an agreement without Civ
ing the slightest consideration to the
railroad labor board or any of its
decisions affecting conditions Of
work and wages for service per-
formed. -
1.-THE conduct of railroad manage
ments is the result Of Wall street
control of the railroads. The great
majority Of, railroad executives
would long since have come to an
amicable agreement with the work.
ers were it not for the fact that the
|,association OF railroad executives is
absolutely dominated by a small mi
nority representing the allied finan-
cial Ainterests of Wall street. 1t is a
fact that more than 100 railroad
directorship are controlled by a group
of about 25 Of the most powerful
financial magnates in: Wall street
and that this Same concentrated
power extends in like manner into
l{practically every industrial field in
the country. Boards Of directors of
various New York banks control 270
directorships Of 90 class I railroads.
THE decision Ut this time to re-
duce the wages of3t7ie workers is an
. effort to take from their pockets

by The government to- cover the cost

SAFETY talk IS
BUNK;FL0UT IT
TO Get PROFITS
l. c. c. Inspection Figures
Show Meaning Of Low Wages.

Washington, July 27.-The Erie,
PENNSYLVANIA and New York Central
railroads are controlled by Wall
street influences whose desire is to
cut wages and increase dividends
regardless Of all other considerations.
The cheap labor policy for which
these roads are holding out would
mean decreased safety for the trav-
cling public. and none of these roads
can afford to relax efficiency of re-
pair work. The interstate commerce
commission reported that during
1921 more than half of the locomo-
tives on these roads were found de-
fective. The detailed statistics are:
E.rie-1,O32 inspected; SO defec-
tive; Sc per cent defective.
Pennsylvania-4,74 inspected; g.
749 defective: 5S per cent defective.
New York Central. F,ast-S93 in
spected; Ats detectives; 81 per cent
detective.
New York Central. West-464 in
spected; 2s7 defective; G. per cent
defective.
All locomotives reported as defec-
tive constitute violations by the rail-
roads Of the safety regulations pro-
vided by law. These regulations have
been fought by the railroads and de-
manded by the workmen.
Such enforcement as is now OBJ
tanned is the result of government in
spection. The fifty locomotive in
spectors now on the job are not
sufficient to cover the field.
More inspectors would reduce the
accidents from which the public now
suffers. But the railroads oppose
more inspectors. The public-be-
damned spirit still remains.
Compliance of railroads with the
law would eliminate defective loco
motives entirely. The number of de-
fective locom motives operating at any
one time on these three roads alone
is therefore more than. 1000.

HIGH COURT NOT
HELD BY, CHECKS
IN CONSTITUTION
Labor Editor Defines Position
Of Union Labor Movement.

Cincinnati, July 27.-John P. Frey,
editor International Molders' Jour-
nal, stamps as tommy rot' much
press comment on the action Of the
Cincinnati convention of the A. F.
of. L. on the courts usurpation of
authority.
; "In their efforts to convince the
thoughtless that the purpose Of the
federation is to destroy the consti-
tutionally authorized power of the
courts, they call attention to the
well-known fact that the trainers
Of the federal constitution had in
mind establishing necessary checks
upon the three branches of govern
ment, the legislative, executive and
judicial" says Editor Frey.
Calling attention to these neces-
sary checks, they point out that
the executive is a, check upon the
legislative branch; that the judicial
is a check upon the legislative and
the executive, and that the legisla-
tive is a check upon the executive
branch, ~
/. = 'But they carefualy avoid Calling
attention to the fact that following
their line of logic. as we'll as their
statement of fact, they provide for
no check whatsoever upon the judi
-cial branch.
This is the nub of the question.
This is the principle at issue. Since
the United States supreme court has
usurped the power to declare legis-
lation unconstitutional the other two
branches of the government cannot
have any check, upon it.
"What the American trade union
movement has determined to accom-
plish is an equalizing Of these checks,
as they were intended to be by the
trainers Of the constitution, and es-
tablishing once and for all the fact,
as we'll as the doctrine, that the
people themselves must be the final
voice in legislation, if self-govern-
ment is to be :. fact instead Of an
abstract theory.
Cheeks upon the three depart
ments Of government are necessary

| dicial branch as upon the other

more interested in cargo vessels to
carry their commerce? An infinites-
imally small percentage of them
ever get the opportunity to travel
abroad, but all of them are inter-
ested in our commerce. And yet the
pending ship subsidy bill is framed
in the interest Of the fast ocean
liners rather than the cargo vessels.
Little For Freighters.
For instance, the same Mr.. Mer-
rill and also MI. Homer L. Fergu-
son testified at the hearings that a
5000 gross ton cargo vessel with a
speed under IL knots (and but few
cargo vessels exceed that, the ordi-
nary cargo steamer making a speed
Of or knots) in customary con-
tinuous operation would be entitled
to voyage subsidies Of $1,000 annual
ly according to the basic rate pro-
vided in the bill. A 1000 gross ton
vessel of this type would be entitled
to $10,5005 per annum.
1T would take about "a of such
5000 ton ships or II of the 1000
ton ships to equal the tonnage OF
the two large passenger steamers
mentioned by Mr.. Ferguson. This en-
tire fleet of - or II cargo vessels
would be entitled to only $1S0,000
annually in voyage subsidies. or
$360,000 if such subsidies were
doubled, but it is unlikely that the
subsidies on cargo vessels would be
doubled. Differently stated, the
basic voyage subsidies to which
those two giant liners would be en-.
titled under the provisions of. the
Lasker bill would: be equal to the
, basic voyage subsidies of 266 5000
ton cargo steamers, or. 100 7,000-ton
cargo steamers with an aggregate
tonnage Of 1,330,000 gross tons.
Big Ones Favored.
1T the subsidies to- the said, liners
were doubled and the cargo vessels
! received the basic. subsidies, the
bounties received by the two large
passenger vessels would equal the
subsidies received by 5s2 of the 5,-
000-ton cargo steamers or $50 of the
7,000-ton cargo steamers with an
| aggregate tonnage Of 2,660,00o.
LAS before stated, the subsidies to
which those ocean liners would ac-
tually' be entitled would amount to
twice the figures I have used, SC
that. the subsidies received by them
would in fact be equivalent to the
subsidies received by twice the num-
! ber Of cargo vessels and tonnage
above enumerated. In other words
| under the provisions of the pending
bill those two liners would be en-.
titled to subsidies equal to that re.
ceived by at least half of the Amer
! ican cargo steamers.
| Nevertheless, the proponents Of
this bill prate about developing ou1
commerce: About the only foreign
commerce this bill would develop
| would be to encourage the already
too, prevalent practice Of Americans
spending abroad the money acquired
in America"

HARDINC'S Plan
= GIVEN TEST IN
EASTERN field
Miners Look Down From Noun
tain on StrikebreakerS.

President Harding's efforts to blot
out the growing spectre of nation
wide coal famine, already fast throt-
Ting the industrial life of the coun-
try, went to test Monday in the soft
coal fields of southwestern Pennsyl-
vania under surprisingly peaceful
conditions.
Union miners looked down upon
the mines from the distant hills,
while troopers escorted strikebreak-
ers to their work. The Stars and
Stripes waved from every mine shaft.
1t was also waving just as proudly
and more freely from a high staff
on the mountain top where the union
miners live in their tent colony.
Success or failure of the admins
tration's efforts to end the coal strike
Of 6S0,000 union coal miners de-
pends, it is claimed, on the outcome
Of efforts of the operators which be-
gan Monday in the southwest Penn
sylvania district, greatest of all. pro-
ducing fields in the United States.
An air of nervous expectancy pre-
vailed as the strikebreakers, largely
inexperienced men, were escorted to
the mines by an imposing array of
state military ordered into the field
at the behest of President Harding.
However, all fears were al1ayed,
when the miners shouted down from
the mountain, their shouts re-echoing
through the valley: You will be
glad to get out Of those holes to-
night"
And they were glad to get out
Over half of the new men deserted
the mine camp during the night and
more left the next day. There are
1000 national guardsmen> in the field
and they are supported by the state
consta abulary, deputy sheriffs and
mine guards.
President Harding, it is believed,
will make another attempt to bring
the union and operators together.
He will comply with the request of
the union leaders and invite opera
tors from West Virginia and Penn
sylvania who were unwilling to at
tend the former meetings.
The president is of the opinion, it
is said, that there are too many
| mines and too many miners in the
bituminous field. He has advanced
a proposal, according to the Asso-
ciated Press, that wage contracts
should hereafter guarantee workers
ESQ working days year with a pen
atty clause against employers who
failed to operate mines" accordingly
The United Mine Workers union
was scored numerically by the or
ganized anti-unionists two years ago
when it demanded of the employers
guarantee Of a six-hour day and a
five-day week. President Harding
has gone the union 20 days the year
better in his proposal for a guaran.
