peared at Chocoy Station on the Ma

manded a paymen: OF 1000 pesos. Mrs.
Cheney recognized the leader OF the
band and was killed.

GOMPERS SAYS OUTLAWING
OF UNIONS is .BOLSHEVIK'
Asserts They Exist for Humanity and the Workers and
Cannot Be Destroyed at Whim or Fancy of
Band of Dictators

WASHINGTON. July 3.-The ruling of
the United States Railroad Labor Board
outlawing the railroad unions now on
strike. was denounced by Samuel Com
pers. president of the American Fedora
ton OF Labor tonight as utterly Boil
shevik in character" and an attempt by
the board ito disband unions at will"
The action of the board" Mr.. Com
pers continued. is exactly1ike the ac-
tion of the Communists in turning the
unions into Government controlled agen-
cies for the carrying out Of the orders
OF the State. Freedom of expression
vanishes under the order Of the board.
But l say now that the workers Of
America, either on the railroads or else
where, do not intend to sacrifice freedom
Of expression and of action. The board
undertakes to say that unions which
differ with the board must cease to ex-
ist-they are outfawed Whether this
Is for the moment an assumption Of
authority on the part Of the board is
immaterial. 1t is the logical outcome of
the very establishment of such boards
1t is an Inevitable consequence of an
initial action that was wrong in principle
and that has proved impossible in action.
The labor board as an institution
functioning In the twentieth century is
second in incongruity only to the So
called open shop movement ..
THE law gives the workers or the
railroads the right to decline to accept
the boards rulings. The workers. of
necessity. declined. and by vote of the
membership withdrew their services
They declined to work on the terms or
dered by the board. The board now de-
ciares them 'outlawed' This is autoc-
racy with vengeance. 1t seeks to put
the whole force of Government back of
The New York herald., 1922-07-04

the movement TO kill the spirit and the
fact OF collective bargaining. OF joint ne
gotiation and agreement by the volun-
tary coming together of workers and
employers. 1t is the calamitous out
growth OF a mistaken idea.
Unions cannot be unmade and re-
made at Government dictation. This Is
neither. the Russia OF the black auto
crat nor of the red autocrat. This Is
America. where the principle OF volun-
tary action, Of conference and agree
ment. OF freedom of expression and OF
lawful action is rooted in our soil and
grown into our institutions.
The unions exist for humanity. for
the workers. and they cannot and win
not be destroyed at the whim or fancy
of a band Of dictators
Il ask whether the board ordered the
directorate of the Pennsylvania Rail-
load dissolved and a new and amenable
toard created when that railroad re-
sused to obey the orders of the board?
OF course 1t did not. nor will it in any
such case. The Railroad Labor Board
Is seeking to perpetuate what it believes
TO be the existing dominant economic
condition. But the board is mistaken In
its analysis of modern trends and
fundamentals. 1t would have been
equally as fitting and equally as ridic-
ulous for the board to order the dissolu-
ton of railroad directorates where such
d'rectorates refuse to obey the orders of
the board.
IF anything could have been calcu-
lated to inspire the workers with deter
niination to win a victory for demo-
cratic methods and for justice In their
employment this action Of the board will
have that result, unnecessary though 1t
may be-"

ton the railway employees department
decided to outlaw the Railroad Labor

concerned the limited States Labor Board

The record OF the board. instead of

cause of the present controversy, We
