JOHN GLENN WILL
NOT DEBATE WITH
JOHN p. FREY

There was considerable disappoint
ment at Labor Hall Wednesday nigh
when it was announced that Johr
Glenn of Chicago, secretary of the
Illinois Manufacturers Association
would not accept the challenge to de.
bate the "open shop" question with
John p. Frey of Cincinnati, editor Of
the Molders' Journal.
1t had been hoped that Mr.. Glenn
would accept, as organized labor does
not believe In doing things half way
Mr.. Fray lie q dehnter AZ natianal n
pute, and labor desired to secure
some one with equal fame to oppose
him in the debate.
The following letter was received
from Mr.. Glenn by Chairman James
Brown of the Mass Meeting commit
tee:
Il beg to acknowledge the receipt
of your letter of January 26, which
find on my desk after an absence
from the city. 1t is not convenient
to participate in the debate which
you suggest. Some time later |
might be willing to enter a joint de-
bate with Mr.. Gompers, but | am not
oO tftC PICoCkt
However, the Mass Meeting COM
mittee is not easily discouraged, and
will try up to the last moment to Sc
cure one of the well-known cham
pions of the "open shop" cause to
meet Mr.. Frey. With this end in
view, a letter has been forwarded 10
Noel Sargent of the National Manu-
facturers' Association, New York
City, and while no answer has as yet
been received, it is felt he will accept
Refusal of local "open shoppers" to
take interest in securing a debater
is leading organized labor of the
Twin Cities to believe that local
business men have little faith In the
"open shop" movement, or that those
who are advancing that theory are
afraid of the results of an open de-
bate. Organized labor is of the opin-
ion that any question of such import
ance should be threshed out in such
manner, and for that reason it Is
holding this series of public mass
meetings. Organized labor has moth
ing to hide, and is 10th to believe that
the "open shoppers" do not care to
help arrange debate at which both
sides may have equal opportunity to
express its views.
The debate will be held, however
Word has been received from de-
dater who wishes his name kept out
of print for the present, that if no
one else accepts the challenge, he
will meet Mr.. Frey. While this gen.
tleman is not we'll enough known to
attract any particular attention, he
will oppose Mr.. Frey if no other
''open shopper" takes up the chal-
lenge.
The meeting will be held Sunday
afternoon, February &c, at a place
to be decided later.

Wednesday Evening, Feb. Is, at
7::30 O'clock, Labor Hall

public meeting that should be attended by every
business man, professional man, and working man
and the lady members of their families will be held
at Labor Hail. 924 North Hickory street, next We'd
nesday night, February Is, at 1880 o'clock
At this time Victor A. Olander, secretary of the
Illinois State Federation of Labor, will speak under
the Joint auspices of the Twin City Federation of
Labor Mass Meeting Committee and the Forum of
the Chamber of Commerce. His talk viii deal en-
tirely with the proposed State Constabulary, and
he will give organized labor's views upon that inn
portant subject.
The State Constabulary question has been defeat
ed twice in the Illinois legislature. It will again be
introduced, and labor will as formerly put forth its
best efforts to again defeat the measure which la
Dor characterizes as measure aimed at organized
workmen.
Speakers for the State Constabulary appeared be-
fore the Forum Of the Chamber Of Commerce two
or three weeks ago, and presented arguments in
favor of such BILL 1t would appear that those who
believe in becoming informed upon this question be-
fore forming an opinion, would take advantage of
this opportunity to hear Mr. Olander.

TRANSFERS a. CHAuFFEURS
TO HOLD GET TOGETHER
MEETING IN NEAR FUTURE

All arrangements have been made
by the Officers Of Teamsters a.
Chauffeurs' Union No. 443 for an
open meeting to be held at Labor
Hall on Monday evening, February
20. at which conditions pertaining. TO
the local situation will be thoroughly
discussed
II Is desired that all members of
the local union, as well as the team
sters and chauffeurs of the Twin
Cities who are not members be pres
ent, as matters pertaining TO the fu-
ture welfare of all will be taken up.
The meeting will be addressed by
a nationally-known speaker, whose
name will be made known at a later
date.
Twin city review. [volume] (Champaign, Ill.) 19??-1929, 1922-02-10

Many people, even some unionlsts,
wonder why organized labor is OPP
posed to the creating of state con-
stabulary in the state of Illinois. They
have a vague idea, of course, that
the eonstabulary would be used to the
detriment of the workers, but they
have never had the opportunity of
hearing first-hand from any speaker
as fully informed as is Victor A.
olander, secretary of the Illinois
State Federation of Labor, the reason
for organized labor's resistance to the
passage of such a measure.
They will be so informed at the
meeting next Wednesday night at La
Dor hall. Mr.. Olander Is coming down
sffUn. Chicago loaded to tfie sn1ux1le
with facts gathered through his ac-
tive experience in fighting the meas
ure to defeat through two sessions of
the state legislature. He will be pre-
pared to answer any and all questions
concerning the proposed constabulary.
and will tell how the "cossacks," as
they are popularity known in states
where they exist, are used to break
up labor meetings, disperse political
meetings, club and ride down strikers,
etc. His remarks will be taken from
actual occurrences in other states.
Local labor feels itself greatly
hOnored by having Mr.. Olander ap-
pear in Champaign in opposition to
the constabulary bill. By coming
right into the stronghold of Senator
Dunlap, father of the measure, it is
felt that much may be done to place
the real object of the state constabu-
larry before the people.
All doubt of Mr.. Olander's appear
ance here was dispelled when the fol-
lowing letter was received by James
Brown, chairman of the Mass Meet
ing committee:
The date which you have arranged
for my appearance at Champaign-Ur-
6ana-Wednesday, February LBS
entirely agreeable to me. 1t is prob
able that | shall arrive on the late
Uening train of the 14th. While |
am glad that you have decided to hold
the meeting in larger hall than the
one ordinarily used by the Chamber
Of Commerce Forum, | shall be some
what disappointed if this change re-
suits in discouraging the attendance
Of business and professional men and
therefore hope you will make it very
clear that we are anxious to have
them present in order that they may
get clearer view of our fundamental
reasons for opposing the state con-
s'aoulary bill. Sometimes business
men hesitate to come to meetings adj
dressed by representatives of labor
ior the reason that they expect to
near little except criticisms against
employers. | shall endeavor to dis
euss the question in its broad a.pects
as related to the general citifshship
q our country on a basis that | hope

RAILROADS NOT OP-
POSED TO NATION
AL AGREEMENTS

Chester Graybeal returned last
week from indianapolis. where he at
tended the meeting OF the Joint Pro-
tective Board, u. r. {. of A., and re-
ports a very good session.
Tho meeting was presided over BY
6 shAtzn4A{ NJ a. Sttsshx, who fs3sis
n short address, and proceeded with
the regular order Of business. Chair.
man Stevens had n printed report OF
the business which had been transact.
ed by him and each member was
given copy.
President Stevens presented copies
of correspondence between the man
agement and the Federated commit
TIE for the purpose of negotiating a
new working agreement In accord
ance with the rules laid down by the
United States Railroad Labor Board.
He also presented copies of the rules
proposed by the management and by
the committee and rules which were
sent to the Labor Board for a decis-
ion. The railroads try TO make IL ap-
pear To the public that they are OPP
posed TO national agreements because
they force unnecessary expense on
them, but il can readily be seen by
going over the correspondence and
from the rules proposed by the diff
ferent railroads that they are not OPP
posed TO, but are insistent upon ma
tional agreement, but they want to
dictate these rules themselves.
Several Of the rules given out by
the United States Railroad Labor
Board in Addendum No 9 TO Decision
No. 222 were discussed and 1t was
found that good number Of them
are not acceptable to the employees.
1t was also found that several OF
these rules are being violated at diff
ferent points on the line.
On account of the promotion to a
foremanship Of Vce-Chairman Geo.
T.. Benn, +. A. Gale was elected to
fill the unexpired term. II was also
necessary TO elect two trustees, VIM
l.. Mason and Joe Eder being elected.
IL was agreed To cut the hours on
