RAIL WORKERS
CONVENTIONS
RAISE ISSUE
Enginemen Demand An
Amalgamation

The Order of Railway Conductors is
holding its triennial convention at
Minneapolis, having opened its ses-
sions May 4.
The Brotherhood of Railway &
Steamship Clerks, Freight Handlers,
Express & Station Employees began
it's triennial meet in Kansas City, its
original headquarters, on the same
day.
On May IL, the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen convene in Cleve-
land.
On June 1, the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen & Enginemen meet
in triennial session in Detroit.
Conventions and Death Benefits.
Two issues confronting the Rail
way Clerks are reducing the cost of
conventions and putting the death
benefit department on a sound ac-
tuarial basis. The 1922 convention
az Dallas, Texas, cost 1858, ,535.S9 for
mileage and expense of delegates. The
problem is to cut the number of dele
gates without destroying democratic
control of the convention.
The death benefit averaging 1920
per deceased member is draining the
reserve fund because the assessments
for this benefit are practically negli-
gible. Ten years continuous member
ship entities the member to a $1,000
death benefit certificate but his total
payments in that time will amount to
only $12.
Amalaamation Issue with Engnemen.
The locomotive firemen face intri-
cate financial problems in the propos-
al, so far not completed, to amalgam-
ate with the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers. Negotiations between
officials and committees of the two
engine Service brotherhoods await
convention action of the firemen on
insurance and other adjustments that
must precede amalgamation.

Farm Workers Treated Like Work Animals

WASHINGTON, May 11.-Living
conditions for farm laborers, and es-
pecially for transients, were found
to be in deplorable state" on many
Of the 375 representative truck farms
in New Jersey which have been
studied by the U. S. department Of
agriculture. which is seeking TO find
what can be done to make farm labor
more efficient. The official report, just
out, is confession of conditions such
as have led TO the formation OF protest
movements in other parts of the coun-
try.
Some cases were found where only
board set on edge marked off family
spaces on the floor of shacks used for
common sleeping quarters. where
straw and rough bedding were laid"
says the department. Sanitary facil-
tiles were sometimes conspicuous by
their absence, and when found were
usually primitive and inconveniently
located"
recommendation include the con-
struction Of decent sleeping and cook
ing quarters, sanitary arrangements,
etc, and the giving of more steady
employment. II was also the opinion
OF the investigators that some means
must be found to enforce" school at

HILLCREST TAKES

HILLCREST, Crows Nest Pass.
Alta.-The Hillcrest miners have de-
cided to go back to work, the vote be-.
ing 123 TO 81 against and nine spoiled
ballots.
Most of the contract miners voted
against it. There are a lot OF men
who can't get back now and are not
likely to later. Several of them were
ordered out OF the mine Office when
there looking for work.
They went to see the general man.
ager. He told them, "The Hillcrest
collieries will hire and fire whom they
think fit' He then added, by way OF
insult, who do you think is running
his mine?'
This is only the beginning OF what
going to happen. The men who
ave no work have called meeting
the unemployed, trying TO get the
zen on strike again. IL Is the only
shance they have. Hillcrest is on the
road to get a bellyful OF open shop
conditions. Il is up TO them. BY
sticking together they can improve
their conditions.
Leaving 1t TO the few militants TO
better things gets them nowheres,
only gets the few blacklisted and the
rest are left helpless. The conserva-
tive elements must aid the militants
and fight under their direction and
learn how to make II common strug-
gle.
This is what they must do. or else
they will always stay beaten down.
Too many think that II they have a
job they will not do anything for fear
OF getting themselves Fin wrong" But
they find that they get in wrong ultim-
ately anyhow and have no lighting
organization to help them after all.

TAILORS' UNION
OF PARKERSBURG
IN H A R D FIGHT
F ir m Against Courts
and Yellow Scabs
BY A. c. MURPHY.

PARKERSBURG, w. Ya.-The lock-
out of the local Journeymen Tailors'
Union by the National Woolen Mills
Of this city which became effective
January gath last, continues, with the
membership Of the union, tho fight
ing against great odds, refusing to
yield to the demands of the mill own
ers that they drop the union and re-
turn too work on an open shop basis.
Contrary to the expectations Of the
basses, who thought they would have
the union members crawling back the
first week, begging for work on any
terms, not a member has broken the
solid ranks, and not one will.
An Injunctlon-As Usual.
Early in the lockout the mill man
agement secured an injunction against
the union forbidding picketing, and
they were also enjoined in this from
doing everything except breathing.
The union a little later sought to have
this Injunction dissolved and many OF
the members learned then for the first
time that the courts Of their country
were class courts, and not working
class, either. The trial Judge gave
the union short shrift, refusing to dis
solve the injunction.
Since then, the mill has been able
to secure a few inexperienced work
ers and also some experienced work
ers (about twenty-three) from the
force of the United Woolen Mills Of
Columbus.
Former Unionsts Turn to scabbIng.
The United Woolen Mills, which had
moved many of its operators from
here last December after their plant
here had been burned, is a closed
shop concern paying the existing scale
of union wages, and yet many OF the
operatives have sunk so low in de-
cency that they left there and, throw
ing their union principles to the
winds, returnd here TO scab on fel-
low workers. They have won the
scorn and contempt Of all except the
business mems clubs and boards OF
commerce and their ilk.
General Organizer George Sangster.
who is here conducting the lockout
for the union, has issued a compre-
hensive statement of the lockout and
bills have been distributed giving the
workers side of the controversy. The
local union has also learned in this
fight that the newspapers, like the
courts, stand for a class, and that
class is not the working class by any
means.

spondent.
WHEELING, w. Va.-Despite the
weak leadership given their officials
and the criminal negligence of real op-
portunities to organize the unorgan-
lied union miners who are now on
strike in the northern part Of West
Virginia, stand solid as rock.
VIM. Roy, a vice-president of Dis
trict No. 6, was put in charge of the
strike in the Panhandle section. Time
after time the local men requested
organizers, especially colored organ
izers. But they were told there were
no organizers to get. At the same
time organizers and officers in west
ern Pennsylvania go from local to
local, attacking and slandering pro-
gressive miners.
These officials did not send organiz-
ers into the West Virginia field until
the companies started to bring in col
ored miners from the south. Altho
the organizers are now in the field,
they are afraid to go near the mines
owing to a grey-haired injunction the
operators want to revive.
The miners of this section remem-
ber how Howat and the miners in
Kansas struck against the industrial
court law and defied the court to
stop the strike. AS a result of this
mass fight by the miners and the ag-
gressiTe leadership of Howat the in
dustria4 court law was killed forever.
Altho the miners here talk of using
the same method and defy the injunc-
tion by mass action still they realize
that mass disobedience of the injunc-
tion requires leadership that is not
afraid to face the Jail if it is neces-
sary. This kind of leadership is lack
ing among the organizers in this field.
The only militant leadership that is
given comes from the ranks of the
miners themselves and is supplied by
the Communists. The miners are begin
ming to see who are the moving spirits
in this struggle and the need of de-
veloping their own leadership.
