Railroad Labor Board
Can't Enforce Rulings

Washington - When the depart
ment of justice was creating a mob
spirit to justify its injunction against
that a refusal to accept decisions by
the railroad labor board is "a chal-
lenge to government"
Every echo and clacker for greed
took up the cry that the shop men
were "defying government" and that
the boards decisions must be enforced
if civilization is to continue.
Since this cry has served its pur-
pose, the department of justice
changes front, and now declares the
board is simplv a fact finding body
and an arbitration tribunal, depend
ent on the support of public opinion
for the enforcement Of its findings.
The latter position is taken by the
department of justice in the suit Of
the Pennsylvania railroad against the
boards order that the railroad COM
pany shall permit trade unionists to
vote on employees representation.
The company was establishing its
company union" at the time, and de-
barred more than IS per cent Of its
organized shop men from voting.
The railroad company claims the
railroad labor board exceeded its
authority. In discussing law point
in the case, the assistant solicitor
general said the railroad labor board
must edpend on public opinion to en-
force it's decisions-a position that
organized labor has continuously
held.

Near Beer Sold
For the Real Stuff

Toledo, O.-Seventy-five cents a
bottle for canadian beer" which in
reality is nothing more than cereal"
beer, containing less than one half of
one percent alcohol, is what Tole-
doians, who like a cold bottle, have
been paying, it is asserted by Dan B.
Crane, chief prohibition agent here.
He has started an investigation, he
said, to learn who is responsible for
the swindle.
University of Toledo chemists,
connected with the public health lab
oratory, are credited with exposing
the fraud. The Canadian labels are
counterfeited, it is declared.
During a recent raid here, Crane
seized large number of bottles of
what was said to be first class beer.
The labels bore the we'll known pre-
prohibition statement 'made in Can
ada from the choicest malt and hops !;
alcoholic content four per cent" A
laboratory examination, said Crane,
showed the stuff to be American near
beer.

Strikers LynChed
By Arkansas Nab

ngton-Striking employees of
the Missouri & North Arkansas rail
road are victims of mobs that would
smash their strike. One striker has
been lynched because, the public press
states, he "resisted a citizens com
mittee." During the two years
strike many workers have been driv-
en- out Of the state.
The railroad is responsible for the
strike, which includes shop men,
transportation employees and other
workers. When the railroad labor
board raised wages under decision No.
2 this railroad, together with other
railroads, protested. The board de-
cided against them. The railroad not
only refused to pay the new rate, but
reduced wages below the old stand
ards and declined to appear before
the board on the ground that it is in
the hands of a federal receiver and
the board has no jurisdiction. Then
the employees suspended work. Later
the board legalized the railroads
wage cut, and since then efforts have
beene made to smash the strike.

MAY COME IN
u. s. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
ON THE FENCE
Considering AffiliatiOn With Inter-
national Labor Office Set Up by
Versailles Treaty at Geneva

Washington-The chamber of COM
merce Of the United States is exam
ining the question of affiliating with
the international labor office set up
by the Versailles treaty at Geneva,
according to julius H. Barnes, presi-
dent of the chamber.
President Gompers says the state
ment by Mr.. Barnes "makes it pos
sible for me to bring the whole mat
ter before the Februarv meeting of
the executive council Of the A. F. OF
L."
"The position of the A. F. of L. has
been clearly defined in two conven-
tions," said the A. F. of l.. executive,
in answer to queries on labor's attl-
tude. "It is one of Endorsements Of
the international labor organization.
The A. F. of l.. authorized me to be
one of a group of its representatives
in Paris during the peace conference,
and in that capacity / was selected
by President Wilson to represent the
United States as a member of the
WHICH dlIcu IlS lCUOl
charter under which the internation-
al labor office was organized. | pre-
sided over the meetings of that COM
mission.
"Manifestly, American labor hav-
ing thus participated in laying the
foundation for the international labor
office, it has watched the develop
ment of the work of that office with
the deepest interest and with a desire
to participate at the earliest oppor-
tunity.
"The announcement made by Mr..
Barnes seems to offer the opportun-
ity for American employers and
American workers to participate in
the activities of their respective
groups in the international labor Of
flee, even though the United States
does not officially become full MEM
ber of the international labor organ
ization.
perhaps there may be some who
will wonder why it is necessary for
employers and workers to act to-
gether on this question. The inter-
national labor organization, it should
be explained, is composed of four
delegates from each member nation.
Two Of these represent the govern
ment, one represents the workers and
one represents employers. There are
thus three kinds of delegates. Where
a nation is not a member-and the
United States is in that category
organized workers and organized en-
ployers may participate unOfficially
in behalf of those whom they repre-
sent; and that, understand, is what
Mr.. Barnes has in mind.
II think such participation, or col
'laboration, will be decidedly helpful,
and now that the effort has been be-
gun, it may be possible for both
workers and employers of the United
States to sit in the next annual meet
ing of the international labor organi-
zation in Geneva. This will be par
ticularly gratifying, because this is
the one world organization that is
actually functioning in a construc-
tive, helpful manner"

Aliens For Profit
Is Employers Idea

New York-The employers at
tempt to secure cheap labor that need
not be naturalized is a departure
from the theory that every immigrant
admitted should be considered as a
prospective citizens, says the New
York World.
"This principle the national asso-
citation of manufacturers proposes to
destroy by an amendment which
would pass workers fit for rough
labor but not for naturalization. 1t
would admit a laboring class to fac
tories and mines which would not ad-
nit to citizenship.
"The object is frankly to increase
the supply of common labor in order
to keep down the wages of common
labor. 1t is plea for the treatment
of labor as commodity used in man
ufacturing. 1t is an argument that
labor is one of the raw materials of
industry and should be put on a
free-trade basis. 1t proposes, there
fore, to create in these United States
a class of proletarian robots who are
to be registered, distributed, educat-
ed, and otherwise supervised by the
government.
"The proposers of the scheme have
wandered very far from the ideas on
which this republic was founded.
Congress has not, we trust, wander
ed quite SO far into the jungle of class
government as to adopt any such
principle as this.
"For no matter whether the pres
ent quota law is wise or unwise, one
thing is certain: The test of any i'm
migration policy is the citizens it
produces and not the convenience or
the profits of the employers of un-
skilled labor"

greater than 1921, farmers received

u. 5. Would Increase
Already Large Army

Washington-Uncle Sans peace
time army is the largest in history,
according to Congressman Madden,
chairman of the house appropriations
committee.
The regular standing army will
have 125,000 men and 10000 officers,
but the total of those constantly un-
der arms and in up-to-date training
condition will be about 625,000. Mr..
Madden's committee, however, has
provided for nearly double that num-
bere by recurring that enough sup
plies shall be contantly on hand for
100000 men.
"Never before has the country pos
sessed so many military resources in
trainend men and material" said Mr..
Madden. "Our regular army now has
double the number of highly trained
commissioned officers it had before
the world war, and an enlisted
strength 25 per cent larger than be-
fore the war The national guard is
nearly 100 per cent larger and a far
greater military asset to the nation
than ever before"
Omaha-Uncle Sam believes in
quiet advertising, as shown by the
following want ad in local paper:
MEN WANTED-Good pay, easy
hours. Must be physically sound and
able to read and write. Arnly room
308 Arlington Bldg. 1511a Dodge
street
Parties answering the ad find two
sleek looking men in civilian clothes
who explain that they need men to
fill out U. S. army regiment where
promotion will come in a short time.
While the government has a build
ing devoted to use of the army here
this scheme is used to get the unem-
ployed to consider enlistments. The
address given in the ad is next door
