RAIL LABOR BOARD
NOT VERY POPULAR
BUT DOESN'T CARE

Chairman Hooper of the United
States railroad labor board is
afraid Of losing a valuable. meal
ticket. The Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers and the Broth
erhood OF Locomotive Enginemen
have challenged the right of the la
hor board to take evidence in the
controversy now on between the
brotherhoods and some fifty west
ern carriers over wages and work
ing rules.
Mr.. Hooper is trying to have the
Department OF Justice use its pow
err to force the brotherhoods to
comply with the orders OF the
board. Mr.. Hooper believes "con-
s~mpt proceedings in the federal
courts" should be instituted against
the labor leaders.
The brotherhoods demand a five
per cent increase and the carriers
countered with request for
change in the working rules.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. g.
After a considerable discussion
the candidates of the Workers

ference of the local Farmer

night, July 31st, in the Machin-

out that the workers can have
nothing in common with La

being backed by miIIionaires as
Frank A. VANDERBILT, the banker
and Rudolph SpreckIes, the

headquarters and attempting
to lead a split in the organiza-

This came to- light by news
from both Chicago and out

Members Warned In Special Bulletin.
According to the special bulletin
issued by the group remaining in con-
troll Of the administration, this split
movement was foreseen and the mem
bership warned against yielding to
pleas of the Rowan-Bowerman group.
In this bulletin the Doyle and Fisher
group state:
1--WE call especially to your attention
that we will not consent to or counten-
ance any attempt on the part of any
industrial union general Office to with
draw from the l. w. W., and we call

such attempt and to crush it at the

will lay bare the other crimes
against the working class this
corporations is guilty of.
But first we will briefly go over the
history of the rise of the Sears-Roe-
buck business which now stands first
in volume of business and financial
resources among the mail order insti-
buttons of the world.
A Great American Success.
The story of the rise of this huge
corporation from a charlatan peddler's
take stock to the titanic enterprise
capitalized at more than $3.50, 900, 900
for its common stock alone, is story
of swindle and hard practice that par
allePs the story of the early days of
the Standard Oil-with this difference,
that whereas Rockefeller sold genu-
inc oil the Sears-Roebuck outfit spread
sham goods over the country all thru
its early years.
Patent Medicine SwindIe.
Albert Loeb, vice president and
treasurer of this corporation, is able
to finance the rmillion dollar defense"
because farmers were tricked into
buying alcoholic and poisonous patent
medicines, that ruined their kidneys,
and gilt watches whose gold remained
behind in the advertising columns of
Sears-Roebuck.
Getting His Start.
The founder of >the Sears-Roebuck
enterprise was Richard Sears who
started out late in the last century
on something less than a shoestring.

The concerted offensive to
fool the farmers and the work

all the earmarks of the most
careful preparation down to the
minutest details.
The numerous Hearst publications

Some Of the biggest publishers like
the Curtis Publishing company, pub
fishers Of the Saturday Evening Post,
The Ladies' Home Journal, and The
Country Gentlemen, are also acting
as wholesale prosperity drummers by
inserting full page advertisements in
the most influential dailies.
The whole campaign, with its vast
publicity, is being directed and in
spired by some of the most powerful
men in the New York financial dis
trict, in La Sale Street, Chicago, in
fremont Street, Boston. These men
are working in the closest touch and
harmony with the National ReDubli-

maneuver on the part of the big

No Prosperity.
But every factor which is consi-

prosperity in the offing.
