STANDING FIRM
RAIL SHOP EMPLOYEES RESIST
ING UNION WRECKERS
Settlement Proposed by President of
United States Is Turned Down by
Greedy Blood Sucking Group

Locked-out railroad shop men are
exhibiting a solidarity and courage
that should enlist every lover of JUS
tice to their cause. These workers,
numbering approximately 10000,
are now in their ninth month of idle
ness because of the sordid profits
seeking policy of stock jugglers and
financiers.
What was a strike on July l has
since developed into lockout by this
greedy group, who ordered their
managers to reject a settlement pro-
posed by the president of the United
States. Later they rejected the "Bal-
timore agreement" that has been ac-
cepted by the Baltimore & Ohio, the
New York Central lines, and more
than 100 other railroads.
The financiers, speaking through
their agents, declare former employees
must return under anti-union condl-
tions. They refuse to recognize col
lective bargaining and will treat
workers as individuals.
The railroads debasing policy has
resulted in a coal shortage that has
brought suffering, disease and death
to the nation. Only recently the
president of the United States virtu-
ally made the same charge.
AS the railroad labor board has nc
jurisdiction over these corporations
the railroads trickery resulted ir
longer hours, lower wages and low
ering of working standards.
The financiers believed they haC
evolved a perfect system. The trans
portation law guarantees them {
profit on railroad investments, with
no check on the money they spenc
for supplies with corporations they
control. They also believed unionisn
was destroyed and peonage establish
ed through their contracting with
paper" corporations.
Before this attack on livir~ stand
ards and gouging of the people, the
railroad labor board stood helpless
1t lacked the courage to make {
ringing appeal to the American pub
lie as did Chairman Hooper when ht
pleaded for popular approval of the
railroads strikebreakers.
Among the railroads now denying
justice to employees are: Pennsyl
vania, Lehigh Valley, Atlantic Coas
Line, Delaware & Hudson, Southern
Pacific, Rock Island, Burlington, San
ia Fe, Norfolk & Western, and New
York, New Haven & Hartford. These
roads reveal their hypocrisy. Whel
they want favorable legislation the!
talk of Serving the people" Nov
they flout the people and cause end
less suffering as result of thei
greed and their attempts to contro
the lives of employees.
These financiers are losing moth
ing. They were handed an injunction
by the department of justice. Th'
government supplied them guard!
which congress voted nearly $4,000,
900 to pay. Strikebreakers and othe
costs are charged to operating ex
penses, which the public must NEE
through excessive passenger AM
freight rates.
Trade unionists and sympathizer
should increase their efforts to ac
quaint the people with what is be
hind this lockout The rapacity ant
feudalism of railroad financier
should be given the widest publicity
The people should also be INFORMED
of the policy of the railroad labo
board, which bleats like lamb t.
the railroads and roars like lion t.
the shop men.
