THE GREAT MYSTERY.

War fraud cases have been agitat-
ing Washington for some time.
Those who have not joined-and
few have--in calling attention to the
frauds and to the lack Of prosecution
are more or less agitated about what
is to be the outcome of it all.
Attorney General Daugherty, one
of two lawyers who got C. w. Morse
out of prison, is giving a fine imi-
tation of sitting tight.
Confronted with the accusation that
Morse got out on doctors certifi-
cate secured by malingering, he did
nothing to put Morse back in prison
when the malingering was discovered,
he says nothing.
Senator Watson told the Senate
that Daugherty had told him he had
no connection with the Morse case.
Later Daugherty wrote letter say
ing that Watson must have misunder-
stood him.
The Republican New York Tribune
says Daugherty has to date given no
reason why he shouldn't resign or
why the president shouldn't demand
that he resign.
Daugherty has been in office over
a year. No war fraud case has yet
been tried.
Prodded in House and Senate by his
own party members, Daugherty
makes frantic motions of getting
busy. Most Washington observers re-
gard these motions as purely motions
and nothing more.
1t is all great and muddy mys-
terry.
Perhaps if the accused persons
were working people and not "big
bugs" with money! and influence
there would be more action and less
mystery and pussy-footing.

The railroads want cheaper produc-
ton, regardless Of justice, law, con-
tracts, custom and understandings be-
tween men.
1t now remains for some federal
judge to exonerate the railroads and
envelope with his clammy legalisms
and cob-webby lore the attempt Of the
roads to violate law and degrade
working conditions at the same time.
This lockout will be remembered by
workers the next time they are as
sured that their dependence upon
economic power would not be neees-
sary if they trust a government
board to ascertain the facts and then
depend upon public opinion to enforce
a just award"
This is the favorite sing song to
labor of those editors who are now
silent while the railroads wreck the
law they jammed through congress
with the aid of the most extensive
lobby ever assembled.

RAILROADS ENFORCE LOCKOUT

RAILROADS ENFORCE LOCKOUT.
The contracting of repair work by
railroads is gigantic lockout of their
shop employees.
These workers are notified that all
connection between them and the rail-
road is at an end, and if they desire
to remain employed they must apply
to the private company that has con-
tracted to do the railroads repair
work.
Then the shop employees find the
purpose of the lockout-they are
offered lower wages, longer hours and
harder working conditions.
The railroads defend this contract
ing by the claim that it is no differ
ent from other contracts they enter
into.
This claim is most superficial. 1t
will not stand analysis.
By locking out these employees the
roads have broken contracts which
call for specified notice before term
ination; they have violated seniority
rights which workers secured after
long service, and they have ended
privileges that have always been as
ISOLATED with railroad work.
To say that the railroads discharged
these workers is to play with words,
The railroads do not want these work
ers to quit. If they did quit the rail-
roads would turn on their tap of pub
lie virtue and hysteria that served
them in their campaign for the Cum
mins-Esch bill and on every other
occasion when their hand is open
rather than fist shape.
The Cummins-Esch law provides
that wages shall be "just and reason
able" and the railroad labor board
is to decide. The scheme of private
contracting takes wages of these en-
ployes outside the boards jurisdic-
ton and nullifies the intent of con-
gress.
The law also empowers the board
to act in any dispute that sis likely to
substantially interrupt commerce"
1t must be borne in mind that the
railroads demanded this law and their
newspapers insisted on its passage.
The latter called upon every citizen
to join the chorus for justice to the
public, the railroads and the en-
ployes.
This charming picture, however
has been disarranged since the finan-
ciers have squeezed the Cummins-
Esch act for about the last penny and
now consider it. a liability, rather thar
am asset in their labor crushing
policy.
Its labor provisions are fouted by
the men who made the law possible
and their newspapers are mute. The
contracting with private companie:
has been most brazen. No one denies
that these companies are dummie:
without capitalization or fnancia
standing and use the shops of the rail
roads they have contracted with.
The board has recently ruled in tn,
case Of an obscure railroad, that it
contracting is a violation of thu
Cummins-Eseh law and that while th'
decision applies only to that road
the principle win be applied to al
others when their cases are reviewed
And the other roads quickly motif.
the board, through the public press
that the boards policy will be resist
ed.
The purpose Of this lockout is clear

COMPANY UNIONS VS.. REAL
TRADE UNIONS.

About three years ago the Western
Union Telegraph Company organized
what it was pleased to call "The As
ISOLATION of Western Union EN-
ployes."
The Western Union organized this
company union only for the purpose
of antagonizing and defeating the
Commercial Telegraphers Union Of
America, bona fide trade union.
Western Union operators now are
reaping the fruits of Western Union
tactics. Wages have been cut to the
1914 level. Morse operators, former
ly getting 1857 now get S110. Print
err operators are getting as low as $12
and $13 per week.
While real trade unions everywhere
were resisting wage reductions the
Association of Western Union EN-
ployer year ago accepted their re-
duction, doubtless as an act of kind
ness to the company which owned 1t.
Last year the Western Union Tele-
graph Company, which organized and
owns the Association of Western I'm
ion Employees, made a profit of $780,
196,029 and had left after payment of
dividends and of all Charges" sur
plus of $2,378,482.
That is how company union oper-
ates. Commercial telegraphers are
beginning to understand this and are
getting into the Commercial Tele-
graphers Union of America, where
they belong.
The International Typographical
Union had an agreement with employ
ing printers that a 44-hour week
should go into effect May /, 1921.
The employing printers violated their
agreement. The Typographical Union
suspended work in every print shop
that refused to abide by the 44-hour
week agreement. Approximately 800
local unions originally joined the sus-
pension. Victory all down the line
has put the members of about 600 of
these local unions back at work.
Less than 5000 of the $4,000 men,
bers originally receiving strike bene-
fits remain on the strike payroll. The
number is being reduced rapidly.
With 10 per cent assessment on
all members at work, the Information
al Typographical Union faced the
fight with fund of $8,000,000 TO its
credit. 1t had an agreement with the
employers, and it meant to see that
that agreement was kept.
The result is that practically the
whole printing industry now operates
on the basis of 44-hour week and
the remnants of opposition are crumb-
ling rapidly.
That is how a real trade union
operates.

situation until Friday or a later date.
Decisions were submitted TO Secre-
tary Weeks Thursday BY Colonel J. A.

government in time of peace.
Secretary Weeks, in announcing the
two decisions. said that he asked for
opinion not because the government
had in mind n ssch action but to
clear up uncertainty in the minds OF
