ment ignores this decision. and is de-
Tended by its company "union."
At the recent convention Of the
company union" in this city, the
roundhouse workers were. denied rep
resentation. Then they asked that
their grievances be considered, but
this, too, was ignored.
Trade unionists declare that every
working rule is violated by the COM
pany whenever it finds such course
profitable. The company "union" in
variably defends or excuses such ac-
ton. 1t is charged that certain off,
cials of the fake union have served
the Great Northern as undercover
men.

respective crafts.
Arrests Don't Stop Them.
The organization drive was COM
