Rail WORKERS
Get RAW DEAL
FROM US. BOARD
Paltry Increase of One
Cent An Hour Given

Members of the Brotherhood Of
Railway and Steamship Clerks,
Freight Handlers and Express and
Station Employees employed by the A
major railroads in all parts Of the
country were handed a lemon today
by the United States railroad labor
board, in the form of a wage increase
which comes as near being nothing
at all as human ingenuity could
devise.
The increases range for one cent
to two cents per hourl II the lucky
slaves of the rail barons work twelve
hours day, and six days a week. they
will be seventy two cents weeks to
the good. Even this miserable pittance
was granted to only $1,000 Of the 1872.
600 employees involved.
Slight concessions in working con-
ditions, such as short vacations with
pay, sick leave and Saturday after
Moons off, were made by the railroads..
II is recognized however that these
concessions" make for efficiency, as
the few hours granted on Saturday
and during vacations are made up for
by speeding.

Farmers Must Learn

BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL

TODAY the so-caed conference for progressive political
action goes and eclipse 1t is like the pail

poor farmers join with the city workers in placing
their stamp of dsapprova upon this abortve stem

nor does such organization of land workers the

But the "LaFoIette idea" in new form will be

unless they realize thing: that the political struggle

personnel of the LaFoette merely reflected its
anti-abor class character.
Many deuded workers. both in the cities and on the
land in the last election thought that because LaFoete
fore fighting the capitalists Nothing is further from the
truth. LaFoIette and the labor ocaldom, its small
Socialist accompaniment constitute the left wing OF the
capitalist class.
Once this fact is fully comprehended by the workers.
