Hooper Would Keep
Fat Job on Anti
Union Labor Board

Ben B. Hooper, chairman OF the
railroad labor board, has issued an
other squawk against the Barley bill,
which would abolish the U. s. railroad
labor board and cost Hooper his job.
Hooper condemned the Barley bill
in letter to Representative Everett
Sanders of Indiana, chief opponent Of
the bill. He opposed it on the grounds
that it would be too favorable to the
railroad employees.
The railroad labor board, formed
under the transportation act has a
continuous record for making deci-
sions favorable to the railroad COM
panies. Whenever a decision is rend-
cred by the board which increases
wages, the overtime pay is cut out, as
in the recent decision Of the board
relative to the engineers and firemen
on western carriers.
The chief merit of the Barley bill
is that it would eliminate the power
Of the labor board.

ALL RAIL
SERVICE ON RUSS
CHINESE ROAD
Plan Daily Trains on
Siberian Line
BY Rosta News.

Notwithstanding to reliable in
formation, the management of the
Chinese Eastern Railway has taken
up scheme Of direct passenger COM
munication between Hardin and Mos
COW. Accordingly, it is proposed to
add to the direct passenger trains
some cars for travelling without
changing from Moscow to Vladivostok
and from Moscow to Chaugohun.
An approximate estimate of the
prospective financial results of this
new measure planned by the @. E. r.
promises large incomes. This esti-
mate has been arrived at on the fol-
lowing basis: There are actually
about 10000 passengers leaving
monthly for Europe from far Eastern
ports and paying about six million
rubles monthly for their voyages, to
different shipping companies. Now
by going by rail travellers will not
only save time, but also make sub
stantial money economics.
The latest statistical data tend to
show that the number of travellers
between Europe and the far East has
considerably increased as compared
with the pre-war period.
Under such conditions, it is rea-
sonably believed that it will soon be
possible to run thru trains ON the ST.
berian line daily instead of one week
ly train as at present. However, even
If for some time yet only one pair
Of trains week be run directly be-
tween Hardin and Moscow. the rev.
enue of the c. e. r. will be increased

BERLIN, Jan. IA storm of pro

press by the allied note explaining
the delay in the evacuation Of Col

The ambassadors note assured the
allies hold proof that Germany had
not lived up to the Versailles treaty,
but had continued the manufacture Of
war materials and the storage of arms
and munitions in quantities far above
those permitted by the treaty.
Social Democrats Continue Humble
The only exception to the general
protests was the socialist Vorwaerts,
which said:
Compliance with allied criticism
and redressing of their grievances, if
justified. is the only way towards
evacuation"
The nationalist press, on the other
hand, assails the governments weak

by the statement that the late Mr.
Samuel Gompers, so long Americas
labor dictator, was vehement OPP
ponent Of socialism.
Labor and socialism have now be-
come in European countries two words
meaning the same thing. In the United
States they mean very different things.
A socialist there is regarded as a
dangerous firebrand. Most Americans
find it impossible to understand how
anyone can wish to alter the system
which has made Mr.. Ford and Mr..
Rockefeller and about two dozen
others the richest men in the world
and which enables large numbers Of
skilled workers to own motor cars.
Labor leaders of the Gompers type
are, on the contrary, made much of.
Most Americans sympathize with the
demand Of the workers for a decent
life. If someone else will arrange for
them to have decent life, most Amer
leans say they will be delighted, and
they are quite honest in this. The
only stipulation they make is that
their own business must not be inter-
fered with.
"As Mr.. Gompers and his like
worked hard to prevent business be-

against all ideas of change, they are

system. That is, indeed, exactly what
they are.

Every year, however, the similarity of
their problem to ours becomes more

flourish upon foundation of wage
slavery. When they demanded their
fair share in the treasure of life, CAPT.
talism was compelled to reply: You
cannot have it. To pay you decently
would bust the show.
Upon which it grew clear that
the thing to work for was a change
Of system. Thus labor and socialism
came to mean the same thing. Of
course, it is necessary to get the best
terms possible out of capitalism, but
that is not, as it is in America, the
be-all and end-all of labor in Europe.
In America, capitalism can pay a small
number of workers decent living
wage; they support it, without con-
sidering the vast number of workers
who are wage slaves. When the latter
use their power, American labor will
follow European labor. Not till then"
