Of Railway Labor
By William F. Dunno

ing of kiwanises and rotarians?
MO! The American railroads, 50 far
~ as railway capital is concerned,
are ready for the next war. .e
1t remains only to consolidate the
skeleton military units on the rail
roads into actual regiments and ,divi.
sions officered by the same individuals
whom the railway workers have to
fight in peace time. War, being the
extension of capitalist competition to
it logical conclusion, makes it logical
also that the railway workers should,
as part of the imperialist war machine
be bullied by the agents of the rail-
way capitalists.
T EFT the railway workers examine
~ the evidence submitted here. The
evidence of their betrayal into the
hands of war-mongers.
They will see that while the rail-
way labor board has been fighting
them on matters Of small wage in
creases and working conditions, the
rest of the government apparatus has
been strengthening the machinery by
which the workers can be deprived
of their civilian status at any time the
rulers decide it necessary.
In every local union Of every rail
way organization this matter should
be brought up and the official instruct
ed to Immediately organize the unions
for resistance to this wholesale milit-
arization. If the officials do not act
it is proof that this scheme has been
carried out with their knowledge and
that the membership must devise
ways and means of bringing mass
pressure on both the union officials
and the government for the repeal of
all military measures.
The time to begin to fight this In
dustrial CONSUMPTION for imperialist
war is now.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-07-18

exists. The question arises:
Why, since the capitalist press Of
America constantly points out the SUI
periority Of private over government
control, continually lauds the eficien-
cy of the present railway management
and fights militantly all measures for
the extension Of government control,
have the railway executives, who
since the last war have been claiming
that government control ruined their
properties, submitted tamely to the
plan proposed by the war depart
ment?
THERE are probably two reasons:
L First, the Coolidge administration
can be trusted to work no hardship
of the railway stockholders and to see
that the clause in the war plan deal
ing with compensation is interpreted
liberally-in meaning and in cash.
Second, there is the feeling that the
international situation is pregnant
with war and that in the event of
hostilities it is better to militarize the
railroads before railway labor gets
a chance to take advantage of the 81
tuation. The most militant opponents
of government interference in bust
ness never hesitates to encourage
such interference when it will aid
him in crushing labor.
THE railway brotherhoods are the
4 most conservative unions in Amer
lea. They do not strike, they feel, for
the most part, that they are part Of
American capitalism and are loyal to
what are called American institu-
TONS" They have made no protest
while the process of militarizing the
transportation systems has been going
on.
The unions have said nothing while
skeleton army units have been set UP

THE railway workers of the United

of the military forces of the American
Imperialism. Most of them do not
know it yet but they will learn the
bitter truth when they find that they
have been drafted to serve under the
same bosses they have to fight to
prevent their standard of living being
reduced. These bosses have been

"A the next war.
Att conference held in Washington,
the exact date of which is not known
but which was reported in the New
York Times of June 20, complete
scheme for mobilization Of rail trans
port was submitted to the gathering
composed of rail transportation Off
Gals and businessmen"
The basis of the scheme for milit-
airy control, as outlined by Assistant
Secretary of War Davis to the confer
ence is:
l. Possession and control by the
government of the lines taken over
is essential in order that the govern
ment, in carrying out the war pro-
gram, may make the necessary da-
mands upon the railroads and insure
obedience to these demands as mat
ter of right.
2. Effective mobilization and use
of the transportation resources is i'm
possible unless the lines taken over
are operated as a single system under
one control and one administration.
3. Requirements of the govern
ment can be carried out most effect
lively intelligently and successfully by
availing of the existing organizations
of the several companies and by max
ing full use of the trained experience
and skill of their personnel. Too vio-
lent changes in either organization or
methods of procedure are liable to
lave an adverse effect on efficiency
md morale.
THE army appropriations act, pass
L ed August 30, 1916, gives the pres
ident, acting thru the secretary of
war, the power to take possession and
control of the railroads. This law was
enacted six months before this coun-
try entered the world war in April,
1917.
