The Facts

Washington.-Th above statement
by the New York Times was forward
ed to Dennis Lane, secretary treasurer
of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butcher Workmen, by Frank Morri-
son, secretary of the A. F. of L. Re-
plying to the A F. of L. official,
Secretary Lane said:
"The packers company union is
composed of three units, as for ex-
ample: Ten representative of the
employees presumably to have been
chosen by the employes). These COM
prise one unit.
''Ten to represent the management
(as the packers term to choose it) +.
These 10 are chosen by the manage
ment and usually is composed of su~
perintendents, foremen, time-keepers,
etc. These comprise the second unit.
"The third unit is the president
of the company.
"All differences are originally put
to the first two units mentioned at
a joint session, and the unit rule pre-
walls when voting. SO you see there
could be as many as four in the en-
ployes' unit that had been members
of the union, and even though their
individual vote would be against a

of the Association of Railway Execu-
tives which dictates the labor policy
of the railroads as whole.
Decision of the shop men not to
fight the injunctions and thus let the
courts and the managers do the wor-
rying has proven great success
When lawyers for the Burlington road
appeared in Judge Pages federal
court to argue that a temporary in
junction against picketing, granted
last week, be made permanent, no one
appeared to resist the order. 1t was
made permanent. The strikers are

nor money, and thus far no strike

have they broken the law.

nate and authorize" their representa-
tives, and that the railroad had no
more right to undertake to assume
control of the selection of the repre-
sentatives of the employees than the
employees would have to supervise the
naming of the representatives of the
railroad.
''In this sophisticated land of pop
ular elections no political party would
submit to having its primary held and
managed by the opposing party"
The board invalidated the election
and ordered new ballot. A sample
ballot was prepared by the board,
which permitted employees to even
vote for an organization dual to the
A. F. of l.. The railroad ignored this
decision, made July 26, 1921, and the
following December the board pre-
pared censure of the railroad. Be-
fore the censure was made public,
however, the railroad secured a. tenn
porary injunction last December from
Federal Judge Lands, now baseball
commissioner. This injunction pro-
hibited the censure being made public
until the case was heard
Last April the case was heard be-
fore Federal Judge Page, who held
for the railroad and made the injunc-
tion permanent On appeal, the labor
board is now sustained by the circuit
court of appeals, which rules, in effect,
that government board actually has
the power to publicly criticise the
Pennsylvania railroad.

OIL TRUST ON JOB
Octopus Hold on Country
Grows Stronger

Washington-Sta oil inter-
ests is perfecting a strangle hold on
the entire country, declared the fed
eral trade commission in a report to
congress, which shows that this trust,
busted" by the United States su-
preme court, is still doing business.
Under the courts decree the diff
ferent Standard companies are for
legal purposes, supposed to be
strangers to each other" but there is,
"as is generally known, an inter-
locking stock ownership in the diff
ferent organizations which has per-
petuated the very monopolistic con-
troll which the court sought to termin-
ate" says the commission.
The report asserts that the pro-
ducer of crude petroleum and the con-
sumer of gasoline are both at the
mercy of the Standard, which perfect
ed it's monopoly of Montana, Wyom-
ing and adjacent Rocky mountain
states in 1920 and 1921, and that a
strangle hold is slowly but surely be-
ing taken by Standard on the whole
country.
"The conditions IN other sections of

not radically different from those in
the Rocky mountain region. Today
the entire country is divided into II

NOISY COMMUNISTS
Suffer Defeat at Hands Of
UniOnists

New York-Communists and mem
bers of the International Ladies' Gar
ment Workers Union had head-on
collision over the acceptance of wage
agreement negotiated by officers of
the union. The latter were sustained
by vote of 21 sos to 1879. Because
of their barrage of abuse and attacks
on President Schlesinger the vote Sc
cured by the revolutionists exagger-
ates their power.
The fight between the two forces is
of interest to the trade union move
ment because of the methods employed
by the communists who equalled a
presidential election for slander and
noise. Three newspapers controlled
by them, and printed in three Ian
guages maintained a stream Of abuse
against President Shlesinger, who
was charged with every crime on the
calendar. The trade unionist replied
by showing that the agreement is, in

proposal, if the other six voted with
the unit that represents the manage
ment, it would be vote in favor of
the management and declared unani-
nous and the individual vote of the
four union men would be lost and not
heard of, because the unit they were
part of would be recorded as be-
ing favorable to the matter in ques-
ton, even though the matter in ques-
tion be a clear-cut anti-union propo-
sition.
"In case units No. l and No. 2,
which purport to represent the en-
ployes and management, fail to vote
unanimously on any question, it may
then be put to the president of the
company for decision.
''The packers were very careful to
see to it that they got few mem
bers of the union identified with their
company representation plan. But
for the most part the selection of the
representatives was brought about
through the recommendation of the
plant superintendent, after confer
ence with the division superintendents
and foremen.
''The sum and substance of the
whole proposition was a cut and dried
program by which they could hand
pick few dupes that would pretend
to represent the sentiments of the
employees.
But the workers in this industry
have no one to blame for their pre-
dicament but themselves, as they
were in a position to get for them
selves most anything reasonable until
they fell for the propaganda circulat-
ed by the packers through their emf
saries that weaned the workers away
from their own organization. When
the packers felt satisfied that the
propagandists had accomplished their
purpose, then they launched their COM

OF Railroad Labor Board
Will Not Unmake Unions,
Says Gompers

Washington. - Unions cannot be
unmade and remade at government
dictation. This is neither the Rus
sia of the black autocrat nor of the
red autocrat," declared President
Gompers in condemning the state
ment of the railroad labor board that
the unions of striking shop men are
outlaws" and that employees remain
ing at work should organize new
unios.
.The unions exist for humanity, for
the workes, and they cannot and will
not be destroyed at the whim or
fancy of a band of dictators," said
the A. F. of L. executive.

railroad dissolved and a new and

"The railroad labor board is seek

equally as fitting and equally as RI
diculous for the board to order the
dissolution of railroad directorates
where such directorates refuse to

Board Censured Pennsylvania Road, Saying Employees

Its Findings

Chicago.-The federal court of ap-
peals has set aside Federal Judge
Pages injunction, which permanently
enjoined the railroad labor board
from censuring the Pennsylvania
railroad for ignoring an order by the
board.
General Atterbury, vice president
of the road, and generalissimo of the

announces that the case will be ap-
pealed to the United States supreme
court.
The decision is the elimination of

The company prepared ballot which
the organized shop men asked to be
changed so that employees could vote
for an organization if they so desir-
ed. This request was denied by the
company.
The unionists carried the case to
the railroad labor board, where the
railroad admitted that the men elect

tiate rules for all the workers were
elected by 3,480 men out of 33,104

"In other words" said the railroad
labor board, "only .105 per cent of
these employees are represented in
these negotiations and 89.5 per cent
are virtually disfranchised."

He said predatory wealth in this

To overcome monopoly he proposed
that the government take back con-

manufacturers an equal opportunity.
He said the government would not
have to fix prices under this system.

daily, is about to be sold to private
individuals "for few cents on the
