Russia at Genoa

NuSSld dt AGItOd
There is an old proverb to the eff
feet that if you sup with the devil
you need a long spoon. It's truth is
being confirmed at Genoa, where the
Soviet delegates, after begging fran
ticaIly to be allowed to re-enter the
European household, are now trying
to lay down the terms on which they
will accept European fellowship.
They are insolent masters. All they
demand is that in return for ac-
nowledging their pre-war debts to
European nationals and restoring
the private property of such ma
tionals confscated since the revolu-
ton the Allied governments shall
pay Moscow for the damage done in
the Russian civil wars following the
Brest-Litovsk Treaty. The debts to
foreign nationals and the confisca-
ton claims amount to 10000, 100000
gold francs. The Soviet's war
claims" amount to 300, 900, 900, 600
gold francs.
The Allied states didn't declare
war on Russia, The Soviet govern
ment broke faith in 1918 with the
Czecho-Slovak prisoners. The lat
ter had fought unwillingly against
Russia and surrendered whenever
they had the opportunity. They
were race brethren Of the Russians.
Lenine didn't originally intend to
turn them back for punishment to
Austria Hungary. He promised
them transportation to Vladivostok.
While they were on their way
through Siberia he changed his mind
under German pressure. He tried
to halt them. They resisted recap
ture and established themselves
along the line of the Trans-S Siberian
Railroad.
The Allied operations on Russian
soil grew out of a natural determina~
tion to rescue the Czecho- Slovak
forces. This rescue was not eff
fected until late in 1918. Meanwhile
local governments had arisen at odds
with Moscow and friendly to the AL
lies. These governments continued
10 fight Lenine after the armistices
with the Central Powers. Several
Allied countries supported them.
But the war waged was primarily
civil war. The fighting forces on
both sides were overwhelmingly Rus
sian. Great Britain, France, Japan
and the United States were never
IN state of recognized war with
Russia
1t IS preposterous, therefore, to
put damages caused by Kolchak's.
Denikin's, Wrangel's or Yudenitch's
armies on level with pre-war ma
tlonal loans to the Russian govern
ment or Soviet appropriations of the
private property Of foreign resi-
dents. The pre-war debts represent
obligations freely assumed by Rus
sla, definite in amount and protected
by international sanctions. The Rus
sian "war claims" are en pqrte.
unrecognized and indeterminate.
against governments whose respon-
sibility in the matter is arbitrarily
asserted.
Russia doesn't want to pay her
real debts. She prefers to collect
imaginary debts. There is no dis
pute about the validity of the first.
There can be nothing but dispute
about the validity of the second.
The Moscow governments policy at
Genoa is, as ever, to create discord
IN Europe. 1t scorns bourgeois
standards of morals-even of politi-
cal morals. Yet there are some who
still think that Russia came to Genoa
IN the role Of the devil turned monk

Ing an organization. The employees
who are not members of organiza-
tons have the benefit Of the same
working conditions as those who
are members Non-members have
the right to representation by the
oncers OF the organization Just as
members have in matters before
the boards Of adjustment
The policy thus carried out has
been In accordance with the policy
which the railroads generally ad-
hered to long prior to federal CON
trd with respect to the trainmen
and engineers and yardmen. Prac-
tically every railroad had agree
ments with the four organizations
or trainmen and enginemen or
brotherhoods.'
@Closed Shop is Not Established.
These agreements did not estab-
lish the closed shop and the com
panies were free TO and did employ
new men without any reference to
membership in the organizations. +"
The charge that the railroad ad-
ministration foisted something new
upon the railroads. is not sustained
Dy the Iacts.
Mr.. McAdoo confirmed Mr.. Hines
statement that practically every
first class railroad in the country
had similar agreements with the
organizations of train service en-
ployes and that 142 roads prior to
federal control had maintained
agreements with the shop crafts.
The only purpose of the railroad
administration, Mr.. McAdoo declar-
cd, was to extend to all employees
rules and working conditions that
governed majority of workers in
the railroad industry.
In his testimony before the SEN
ate committee, Mr.. McAdoo said:
Practically all of the railroads
under federal control had in exist
ence agreements with the four
brotherhoods - the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, Order of
Railway Conductors, Brotherhood
Of Railway Trainmen and Brother
hood of Firemen and Enginemen-
which provided the basis for COM
pensation and regulations of en-
ployment. In order to adjust con-
troversies arising between the rail-
road corporations and members of
engine and train crews, I adopted
and put into effect, March %, 1918,
the basis Of understanding arrived
at between Messrs. A. H. Smith,

RAILROAD WORKERS STATE THEIR
SIDE OF CASE ON PAY PROBLEM

fEditor's Note: This II the fourth
of . series Of articles prepared from
the testimony Of william c. AcAdoo
and Walker d. Hines before the sen
ats committee investigating railroad
conditions The Articles are cent out
by the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers. and purpose 70 present the
side Of ths workers..
Railroad executives, In their tes-
6mony before various public agen-
cses and in their published propa-
randa, have criticized the so-called
national agreement covering rules
and working conditions for railway
employees as one of the most dis
astrous innovations" of the railroad
administration under federal con-
troll.
The facts, as revealed by the tes-
timony of Directors General Nc
Adoo and Hines and their associa-
les, are:
n Practically all the rules in
The national agreement were in
force on the great majority of roads
before the government took over
the lines. They had been accepted
as reasonable by railroad officials
after negotiations with representa-
tiyes of the employees.
(2) When the national agree
uent was negotiated the federal
railroad administration was repre-
scented by three OF the most prom
inent railroad presidents in the
United States. Surely these gem
ltlemen did not overlook the inter-
ests of the railroads.
(3) The national agreement did
not establish a CLOSED shop" I'm
der it union and non-union men
we're employed on terms of abso-
lutte equality.
"a The national agreement was
a good thing from the governments
point of view. ''The system has
fully justified ITSELF" is the testi-
mony Of both McAdoo and Hines.
Testifying before the senate COM
mittee on interstate commerce,
Feb. /, 1922, William Gibbs Nc
Adoo, former director general OF
railroads. declared that the ma
tional agreements gave to all rail-
road workers rules and working
conditions that were enjoyed by

Similarly, Mr. McAdoo says. an
order was issued creating a board
OF adjustment for members of the
Order of Railroad Telegraphers,
Switchmen's Union, Brotherhood of
Railway Clerks and United Broth
erhood Of Maintenance OF Way En-
pioyes and others.
Boards Created by Agreement
These boards" Mr.. McAdoo add
ed, were created by agreement be-
tween the representatives of the
railroad labor organizations and
the officers of the railroad corpora
tons as regional directors of the
railroad administration.
This practice. adopted under
federal control, of dealing through
these boards OF adjustment with
the grievances OF railroad employees
and OF authorizing the establish
ment of these boards of adjustment
between groups of carriers and the
