WALL STREETS
BLACK FLAG is
RAISED IN STRIKE

New York.--In rejecting settle
ment proposed by the president, rail-
road executives. raised the well-known
black flag of Wall street against the
peoples welfare.
When the strike started these exc
cutives insisted that the government
of the United States was challenged
and that the fight was between the
government and the strikers. Now,
when the president, speaking for the
government, presents a peace pro-
posal, the executives change front
and raise the pirates emblem. The
i presidents proposal is as follows:
First: Railway managers and
workmen are to agree to recognize
the validity of all decisions of the rail-
road labor board, and to faithfully
plated by the law.
Second: The carriers will withdraw
all lawsuits growing out of the strike
and railroad labor board decisions
which have been involved in the strike
may be taken in the exercise of rec
ognizeo rights by either party, to the
railroad labor board for rehearing.
Third: All employees now on strike
to be returned to work and TO their
former positions with seniority and
other rights unimpaired. The repre-
sentatives of the carriers and the rep
resentatives of the organizations
especially agreed that there will be no
discrimination by either party against
| the employees who did not strike.
The managers make a grea. ado
about the third section of the pro-
posed settlement, which, they insist,
does not care for their strikebreak-
ers.
| The Associated Press correspondent
| from Washington gave this senll-otfi-
cial explanation of the White House
position on that subject:
Cabinet members and associates
of the president have sharply EN-
phasized their view of the Seniority
issue" and that taken by the rail-
road executives as expressed in pub
lie statements. Public statements of
railroad heads that the granting of
| the strikers demand for q return OF
full seniority rights would necessi-
tate the discharge of scores of thous-
ands of efficient workers hired to take
their places have been fatty denied
: in informal discussions with newspa-
per correspondents, said to be exag-
/ gerated, and otherwise stamped as
unreliable. 1t has been further rep
resented in some government quarters
/ that such men as have been hired
would not generally be Of a character
and capacity which would make them
suitable as permanent employees.
Opposition to the presidents plan
is led by handful of eastern man.
ayers. These "die hards" represent
! high financial and anti-union interests
that are powerful enough to crack
/ the whip over every manager.

SCAB HATTERS
STRIKE FOR
MORE WAGES

Danbury, Conn.-The anti-union
d. +. Loewe & Co., hat manufacture
ers, was forced to concede a 35 per
cent wage increase to so hat finishers
after a two weeks strike.
This collective action by non-un-
ionists recalls the long fight of the
Loewe company against the United
Hatters of North America.
In 1902 the hatters started q ma
ton wide campaign to have all hat
manufacturers recognize the union.
The Loewe company refused and the
hatters called upon trade unionists
and friends to aid them in their
fight by stunning the Loewe concern
and patronizing union hat manufac-
turers.
The company secured the assistance
of powerful anti-union forces and
started legal proceedings against
members of the union. When the suit
was started 10 out of SO manufacture
ers signed an agreement with the
union. The case was carried to the
United States supreme court, which
ruled in 1908 that members of the
union can be held liable for damages
The entire trade union movement
swung behind the hatters in this
| fight.

FIRE DESTROYS LIGHT
PLANT AT FROID

F'roid, Sept. 1.-Froid is again with
out lights and power because of the
fire last week which completely gut
ted the power plant, the main build
ing and the garage which was oper-
ated in connection with the light
plant.
l. E. Ilson, who has had charge Of
the place during the past few months,
went to dinner at about 1 o'clock, and
hardly had he reached home when
the whole interior of the main build
ing was a mass of flames, the fire or
iginating in the roof from an unknown
cause.
The local fire department was on
the scene in short order and with the
assistance of the citizens put up a
heroic fight to save the plant with
what apparatus it had to work with,
but the flames, famed by a stiff wind,
were beyond control.
An Overland car belonging to
John Miller, and Maxwell roadster
belonging to A. Gladue, were burned
the smoke being SO dense that to
save the cars was out of the question.
