That the Pennsylvania Railroad will
make determined stand for its labor
policy of fostering company unions is
indicated by the mailing out Of notices
that an election Of employee represent
atives will be conducted as usual in
February. The election is for the teleg-
raphers on the system.
This action is taken despite the re-
cent vote ordered by the Railroad La
Dor Board, in which the telegraphers
employed on the Pennsylvania voted
four to one in favor Of representation

According TO those who are familiar

have been a virtual withdrawal from
its policy Of dealing with its employees

The Milwaukee T. U. e. L. group
have been successfully exposing the
local G. P. p. A. which is composed
chiefly Of republican party politicians
bankrupt socialists and a few labor
takers. Most of the unions in the city
have refused to send delegates to the
local conference for progressive 20
litical action.
The purpose of this conference was
to solidify the so-called progressive"
forces and to elect delegates to the
Chicago convention of the c. P. p. A.
Several railroad. building trades and
other unions turned down this propo-
sition. The Machinists' Union No. 6(
at its last meeting voted down the in
vitation to send delegates by a vote OF
81 to 1.

Even the membership OF the social

WHO'LL ANSWER ?.
Who WILL BE OUR
correspondent?
Workers Everywhere
Invited to Write

The Importance of developing the
I. U, p. L. section into a real live
expression Of the everyday struggle
of the workers on the industrial and
political field cannot be overestimated.
The success of this section however
depends entirely upon the militants
in the labor movement, the members
of the Workers Party and the T, U.
e. L.
The T. q. e. L. is attempting to
organize a corps of correspondents in
every industry. So far only the Det-
roit and Chicago league have notified
the editor of the T. u. e. L. section
that they have selected reporters who
will be held responsible for sending
the news of these cities for the sec
ton.
Let's Hear From You.
At the next meeting of your indus
trial or local general group take up
this matter and see that some one in
each industry is selected and held re-
sponsible for the sending in of reports
on strikes, election campaigns, shop
conditions and shop activities, trade
union activities, political activities.
injunctions, child labor, criminal syn
dicalist laws, etc. In fact, give us news
Of all the struggles of the workers, no
matter how small they may appear to
be.
lrregulsrs Also Welcome.
If you are located in places where
so organization exists, or you belong
to none, yet If you know of such
events as mentioned above, If you
have a story-send it in. We want
regular correspondents, but we &C
cept irregular" ones if they have
labor news.
One local comrade should be Sc
lected to cover your city and should
be responsible for the reports of the
industrial group reporters. We do not
reject articles, they are welcome, but
it is not necessary that your report
should be in the form of an article.
Send us notes on things as they hap
pen, gives us dates, figures, results,
the part played by the left wing in
the struggle, no romancing-just
facts. Just jot them down as they
happen and send them into the T. u
e. L., DAILY WORKER section and
we will do the rest. All material
should arrive not later than Friday
Of each week, for publication in the
following Tuesdays section.

Cleveland Cooks
Strike Against
Lockout and Cut

Especial TO The Daily Worker)
CLEVELAND-The cooks and wait
ers of Webber's restaurant, food EN-
porium catering to the fat-bellied poll
ticians in this city, have been locked
out and their Jobs given to more docile
slaves when they refused to accept g
cut in their already miserable wages
The locked-out workers, who are
members of Locals No. LOG (Waiters)
and No. 167 (Cooks) Of the Hotel and
Restaurant Employees international
Association, are picketing the restau
rant and are fully confident that Web
ber's will be forced to adhere to the
union agreement and maintain the
union conditions.
The wages of the walters in this
establishment which the owner has for
a long time been trying to cut were
but $500 per week, and the proprie
tor has claimed that he is unable Il
pay even such wretched pittance and
has even refused to present his case
to mediation board. The lockou'
was initiated without warning and in
face Of the government mediator
proposal that action be deferred for
thirty days.
This lockout is an illustration Of the
bosses real Views on the sanctity OF
contracts. They raise a howl IL any
workers seek to engage in a sympa'
thetic strike, but contract is nothing
but scrap OF paper il it suits their
purpose to violate it. Webber's agree
ment covering the workers now locked
out does not expire until July Is.
The cooks and walters involved In
this controversy are taking great en-
couragement from the fact that the
Mattresses employed by the big May
Department Store, who were locked
out in violation OF the agreement with
the joint board OF Cooks, Walters, and
Mattresses, which is also handling
the Weber case, we're successful In
enforcing adherence to the agreement
by the May Co. after being out sew
eral weeks.

MUSCLE SHOALS.
NITROGEN, OR POWER?
FORD OFFERS AID.
UP TO THE PRESIDENT.

At the Request Of the War De-
partment Henry Ford offered to
develop the power plant, built By
the people at Muscle Shoals to
provide nitrogen from the atmos-
phere for use in war time.
Nitrogen can be made into ex-
plosives for war and fertilizer for
peace.
Politicians in Washington re-
jected Ford's offer, although the
entire South and all the farmers
demanded that the Government
accept 1t. Ford, wearied Of Wssh-
ington's vacillation, withdrew his
offer.
And the Muscle Shoals plant, as
things now stand, Is scheduled to
be put under control of a great
power monopoly.
Every voter In this country
should read Henry Fo.t's s.ete-
ment concerning Muse Shoals
made this week, in response TO
message from w. T.. Hearst urging
him to re-enter the Muscle Shoals
contest, and again try to rescue the
peoples property from selfish ex-
ploiters.
These are points in Henry Ford's
statement that interest every
American.
~ am willing to cooperate witf
the Government in developing
Muscle Shoals into q great nitrate
plant, making cheap fertilizer for
the American farmers.
an my opinion, the Shoals
should be used for the production
Of nitrate and fertilizer.

huge sums in developing its d~efenses.
Apparently the President holds the
opinion that with this country taking
the lead in disarmament the debtor
nations will soon follow in our foot
steps. Lessened expenditures for
military purposes would allow the
French and others to balance their
budgets and thereby pay some of the
Indebtedness to this country within
a reasonable number of years.
These questions will crop up of
ficially before the converting of Con-
gress in December. The House COM
mittee on ways and means. which is
charged with the responsibility of
providing revenue will meet next
Monday for the purpose of framing
the tax bill. Secretary Mellon has
been invited to make his recommen-
dations at that time. There is no
doubt that he will be questioned as
to foreign debts and their effect up
on domestic taxation. Public senti-
ment favors further reduction in
taxes and this congressional commit
tee will have a real problem on it's
hands.
The President continues to hold
his own despite the turmoil in his Of
fetal family. With wholesale resig-
nations in the Shipping Board, fol-
lowed by charges and counter
charges, the President is planning in
order to meet the situation when
Congress asks for recommendations.
The feeling exists that Mr.. Coolidge
will hold his cards until the delivery
of his annual address to the Con-
gress the first week of the new SEES
sion.
The suggestion that the Shipping
Boards functions be transferred by
act of Congress to the Department
of Commerce is given many support
ers. Secretary Hoover has many
jobs now and may ask to be relieved
of these new responsibilities.
