CAR INDEED
LAW AND ORDER GENT JAILS
WITHOUT LAW
President of the Baldwin Locomotive
Works Would Like to See Any
Labor Leader Start Something

New Orleans-Samuel M. Vauclain,
well-known Philadelphia "law-and-
order" gent and president of the Bald
win locomotive works, revealed the
anarchy of his kind at a meeting of
business men in this city. In explain
ing how he handles "labor leaders"
this |. a. o. g. said:
"I've got $4,000 men working for
me in foundry back east. I'd like
to see any union labor leader start
something among them. Why, when
the railroad strike was starting, a
bunch of labor delegates came around
to the plant. In 20 minutes | had
every damned one of them in Jail.
l was told | had no right to put them
in jail. l said But they're in jail,
aren't they? Now go and get them
out
"You've got to act quick when
you're facing a crisis"
Washington = Samuel Vauclain
talks like the czar that he tries to
be-" said President Gompers in COM
menting on the rough-house talk at
New Orleans by the Philadelphia
business man.
'He makes it clear that he has a
way of putting men in jail regardless
of whether he does it lawfully or not, -
said President Gompers. "Perhaps
Mr.. Vauclain makes good locomotives,
but he can't make good citizens by
that process, and it is my opinion that
good citizens are even more impor-
tant than good locomotives, because it
isn't necessary to go to Mr.. Vauclain
for locomotives.
"The late George Baer once said
that captains of industry were Gods
trustees. General Bell once said: TO
hell with the constitution Mr.. Vau-
CLAIM seems to have combined their
formulas.
"Mr Vauclain may strut in the
robes of autocratic power for time,
but I would like to remind him prog
ress grows inexorably. The great
swelling tide of human freedom re-
moves the barriers, one by one, in it's
own good way and in its own good
time"

Road Lost Millions
Because of Strike

Boston-By locking out their shop
men, officers of the Boston & Maine
railroad caused a loss of $3,000,000.
At a meeting of the stockholders
President Hustis acknowledged that
the direct and indirect loss would
reach that figure. The president was
asked if this amount could not be
saved if the road accepted the Balti-
more agreement, as has more than
100 other roads. To this query Presi-
dent Hustis referred the questioner
to his annual report.
The New York, New Haven & Hart
ford railroads losses because of the
lockout is $4,865, ,768.
These losses would also be avoided
if the shop men were permitted to re-
turn to work without surrendering
their manhood.

pany Taps Mission Greek
Holdings

Workmen are laying steel for new
logging railroad being built by the
Craig Mountain Lumber company from
Winchester into the Mission creek
watershed, a distance of six miles,
where the lumber company will start
operations on vast timber holdings as
soon as the road is completed.
The construction or this road has
been held up since November on ac-
count of legal obstacles, but it is now
stated that objections raised by John
r .Troller, through whose land the
logging road passes have been settled
in friendly manner, permitting work

OSTEOPATHS CANNOT
PRACTICE SURGERY


Licensed osteopaths i'm Idaho are
not authorized to practice medicine
or surgery, according to an opinion
of the state supreme court. The
opinion upholds the conviction Of III.
w. Sawyer, who was found guilty of
practicing medicine and surgery with
out a license.
Sawyer was arrested at Twin Falls
by agents of the state department of
law enforcement. for practing surg
cry without a license. Tt is charged
that he performed an operation for
appendicitis upon a woman.
After quoting definitions Of osteopa-
thy as given by the New Standard die
tionary and as given in other legal
cases, the court found that
"Osteopathy, therefore, is a system
of treating diseases of the human body
without drugs and by means Of ma
nipulation. The word manipulation
certainly does not cover and include
the practice of surgery in any form.
Since, therefore, the term 'osteopathy'
does not include medicine and surgery
within its content, we conclude that ii
was the legislative intent that license
to practice osteopathy does not carry
with it the right to practice medicine
and surgery or either of them"
