Men Refuse to Work
On Erie Repair Job
(By Federated Press)

Paterson, N. 1.-THE entire force of
225 men in the Cooke works of the
American Locomotive Co. here walked
out when they were ordered to COM
mence stripping" number of loco
motives sent in for repairs by the Erie
railroad. The action was taken in
accordance with the recommendation
of the metal trades department of the
American Federation of Labor urging
union metal workers to strike when
ever such railroad contracts were ac-
cepted.
The men took vote several days
ago, and decided to refuse to do any
repair work which ordinarily would
have been done by the shop craft
workers now on strike. kilograms
have been sent to allied unions at
Schenectady, Dunkirk and Richmond,
where the American Locomotive Co.
has shops, stating that the workers in
the Cooke plant here have gone on
strike and urging similar action in
the other shops if the company at
tempts to do repair work for the rail-
roads.

Important Victory
Won By PiCkets
(By Federated Press)

New York-What is regarded as
one of the most important court vic
tories ever won by organized labor
has been established in decision here
maintaining the right of labor union
to present counterclaim for damages
from an employer wwho attempts to
destroy it in controversy over wages
and conditions. The right is affirmed
by the state supreme court in suit
for injunction and damages brought
by the Rogers-Peet Co., clothing man.
ufacturers, against the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers of America.
The effect of the decision is more
sweeping for the reason that it is
based upon common law rather than
New York law, and therefore will ap-
ply, according to the unions attor-
neys, to such disputes as are now
pending in other cities over similar
issues.
The order dismissing the suit for
injunction and S250,000 damages was
filed after the Rogers-Peet attorneys
had signed a stipulation asking that
the case be discontinued-an action
equivalent to complete surrender. 1t
follows a decision rendered fort
night ago permitting the union to
examine the officers of the Rogers
Peet Co. and it's books, papers and
documents, for the purpose Of sustain
ing the unions charge that the firm
had unlawfully connived and con-
spired to disrupt the union, and had
come into court with "unclean hands"

would not have the protection they
now have. 1t would be leave the
premises as soon as you can; and if
one Of them failed to do it within
reasonable time they would have him
arrested for tresspass. 1t has been
done at other places on different oc-
casions, and it just goes to show how
much company cares for them. But
there are always few that will al
low themselves to be used as the cats
paws for some corporation.
Do the citizens of Newark know
that the steam whistle at the shops
has not been blowed since July 1st
Do they know the reason for this
1t is because they have not got men
enough to waste that much steam on.
And it has been that way ever since
we left the shops. The majority of
the working men of America are
above taking a job of this kind. They
have taught US one lesson, and this
is teaching another. But while we
are learning from our side, look at
the expensive and far reaching lesson
We have taught organized capital.
This is crisis that was bound to
finally come, but we were driven into
it before the allotted time, and like the
American soldier the word retreat
is not in our manual of arms. We
have won the confidence of the public,
and made Wall street fear us, not
through force and violence but
through moral and mental courage.

COAL OUTLOOK
TEMPORARY SETTLEMENT is
REACHED
After Remaining Inactive For Twenty
Weeks Work is Resumed in
Number of Mines
(By Federated Press)

Cleveland-After 20 weeks of strik-
ing in which all the antracite and the
great majority of the bituminous coal
mines remained unproductive, tenn
porary bituminous \,settlement has
been reached here by operators and
miners representatives.. Anthracite
settlement is expected at Philadelphia
with temporary renewal of the old
contract.
1t is generally accepted that the
referendum of union miners on the
agreement will be favorable. Coal
digging will not await the balloting,
however.
The settlement follows the course
outlined last month, with the old con-
tract renewed until March 81, 1928,
in all it's wage and working rules
and with uncertainty thereafter
The uncertainty is modified some
what by provision for joint national
bituminous conference to meet here
October 2. This conference will ap-
point a wage procedure committee
which will report January 3 to a
second joint conference. The January
conference must start scale fixing
machinery within five days. These
conferences will be on a nationwide
basis instead of on the old four state
central competitive field basis.
The miners demand for fact
finding agency is met in the agree
ment by instructions that the first
joint conference October 2 appoint a
committee of inquiry to report to the
second conference January 3, on all
matters involving the industry.
Both sides claim the victory but
neither side gained all it was after.
At the outset of the dispute April l
the Chicago Journal of Commerce op-
timistically said, "The longer the
strike continues the more certain the
crumbling of the union. Let the
miners do the worrying" The pre-
diction has not been verified. The
union remains intact with every sign
that Indiana and Illinois operators
who remained away from the confer
ence are ready to ratify the agree
ment while pretending that they are
making a separate settlement"
But the miners have not yet won the
new two year contract they wanted
and the old four state arrangement
has been introduced.
Lee Hall, president of the United
Mine Workers, states that operators
of all of Ohio's coal mines, excepting
the Pittsburgh Coal company, the
PomerOy and Great Lakes company,
a subsidiary concern, and the New
York Coal company, have signed up
on the basis of the Cleveland agree
ment and that $4,000 union Ohio
miners are now at work again.
Normally about $4,000 union miners
are employed at Ohio's coal mines.

Railroad Equipmegt
Falling to Pieces

WaShington-The country's rail
road equipment is falling to pieces
and will continue to get worse as the
strike continues, is the information
given the president by c. c. McChord,
chairman of the interstate commerce
commission. The letter is written in
cautious terms, but contains warn
ing in every line of the menace to life
and property.
1t is stated that the commission
"has observed with concern the pro-
gressive deterioration of motive power
upon certain of the important carriers.
"The effect of deferred repairs is
cumulative and becomes increasing
ly felt as time goes on. In the con-
tinuance of our enforcement of the
law we are taking steps and will be
comselled to continue to proceed in
a manner which must bring about
serious Withdrawals of motive power
from SERVICE" it is stated.
Certain violations of the acts we
report to the attorney general for ap-
propriate legal action. With con-
tinuance of existing conditions these
will be increasingly frequent"
In reply the president instructed the
commissions inspection force to apply
the law.
Striking shopmen say the commits
sion is powerless to ar-,'-- the law, be-
cause of lack of inspectors. Con-
gress has reduced the commissions
appropriation and where hundreds of
inspectors are necessary, one is doing
duty.
That the equipment situation is
causing concern to the white house
is indicated by a long conference be-
tween the president and some of his
technical advisers.
This, together with the McChord
letter, sustain every claim made by
the shopmen, who state that the
equipment collapse also applies to air
brakes

Needless Expenditure
Of Public Funds

Jefferson City, Mo.-The mobiliza-
tion, movement and maintenance of
national guardsmen to satisfy the
railroad companies has cost the state
of Missouri between $150,000 and
100000 according to an estimation
by Adj Gen. Raupp. This is in adj
dition to probably $4,000 Of expense
which will be borne by the federal
government.
National guardsmen were first
called for railroad strike duty July 9,
and from that date most of the states
military forces have been under arms,
either on active duty or held in readi-
ness at armories "to respond on short
notice" to a call for strike duty.
There have been no outbreaks of
moment in the state, other than the
expenditure Of $150,000 or more of
the states funds. Authorities voice
the belief that "the money has been
we'll spent" Raupp states that he is
unable to fix the exact extent of the
states share of the strike expense yet,
Gas all of the bills are not in"
Two hundred and seventy-fve ma
tional guardsmen, who have been sta
toned at St. Louis have been ordered
to entrain for Sedalia for demobiliza-
ton by Raupp, following conference
with Gov. Hyde.
"There is no need to keep these
boys under arms at st. Louis" Raupp
said. "They are costing the state
about $500 week and there is no
particular need for them. In the event
troops are needed regiment can be
raised in either St. Louis or Kansas
City within three or four hours"

Smith Rejects
The Wet Petition

Columbus, Ohio-Secretary of State
Harvey C. Smith has ruled that the
proposed amendment to the Ohio con-
stitution, permitting the manufacture
and sale of beverages containing two
and three-fourths per cent or less of
alcohol shall not be voted upon at the
November election.
The proposed amendment was in
itiated by petition, containing, it was
said, 238,022 signatures.
Protest was filed by C. l.. Dickey
Of Columbus.
Action of Smith probably will pre-
cipitate a court fight as officials of
the association opposed to the prohi-
bition amendment had declared they
would file suit to mandamus the
secretary Of state as soon as action
was taken to keep the proposed
amendment off the ballot.

Seniority Defended

Washington--"When strikes are won
or compromised, the first point is that
the men are given their jobs back
again." says the department of social
action, national Catholic welfare coun-
Gil, in it's latest news sheet.
"In the coal strike the miners will
be taken back and given their old
jobs. Even when Strikes are lost, it
is usual for the strikers to be returned
to their old positions. In strike the
men do not so much give up employ
ment as insist upon better conditions.
The restoration of seniority rights to
the shop men merely means the re-
storation of their old jobs, and is the
usual end of strikes"

not, if he can demand prohibitive
price, thus relieving himself of what
he regards as a disagreeable task.
the attorney general replied that his
office does not give opinions on mat
ters submitted by individuals.
