MAGRUDER WANTS TO DO
BUYING.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10 Enlarg-
ing his charges Of waste and ineffi-
cheney" in the navy, Rear Admiral
Thomas P. Magruder, who was de-
posed as commandment of the Phila-
delphia navy yard, told the House
Naval affairs committee today that
high ranking naval officers at sea and

| junction against the whole labor
movement, Quackenbush, according to
his soft-repeated boast, is attempt
ing to establish legal precedent. The
effect of the injunction, if granted,
will indeed be so far reaching as to
take on the character of a piece of
national, political legislation.
What is the so-called basis of this
rising structure of traction slavery?
To answer this question it is neces-
sary to detail first some of the pro-
visions of the Interborough yellow
dog" contract and secondly the condi-
tons of the charter and bylaws of
the company union.
In some respects the PETERBOROUGH
"yellow dog" contract is one of the
most interesting orders of bondage in
existence. In the future such docu-
ments may serve as the most illumi-
mating picture of our times.
Chained To Company Union.
The first provision binds the indi-
vidual worker to the conditions of the
agreement" drawn up between the
Interborough and its company union,
81 hereby declare that have
read or heard read the collective
bargaining and arbitration agree
mem entered into between the
marlborough Rapid Transit Com
pany and the Brotherhood of In
terborough Rapid Transit Com
pany Employees, (the Company
Union) dated the Both of June
1927, and hereby ratify and ap-
prove the same and each and
every provision thereof :"
Under the terms of this so-called
agreement the worker binds himself
to work uninterruptedly for the COM
pany for period of two years. The
second condition binds him to the
company union itself:
81 further covenant and agree
that l will remain a member of
the Brotherhood and faithfully
observe the constitution rules and
obligations thereof :"
Then comes the agreement not to
join any labor organization:
81 am not now and during the
period of my employment l will
not become a member of or be
identified in any manner with the
Amalgamated Association of
Street and Electric Railway EN-
ployees of America, or with any
other labor organization, except
the said Brotherhood PIE
In another provision the worker
agrees not alone to the existing "con-
trac," between the company and the
Brotherhood, but binds himself to
whatever may in the future be agreed
upon between these two bodies with
the same head and brain:
Another Joker.
81 agree further to and with
the Company and the Brother
hood that the Constitution as now
amended, which / hereby ratify
and approve, or as 1t mag here
after be amended auth the con-
sent of the Company, shall con-
stitute contract :" (em-
phasis mine. R. NJ
Taken together with the provisions
of the Company Union which will be
detailed later, this "yellow dog" con-
tract YIELDS a set of chains about the
workers neck which only the blows
of the combined forces of organized
labor can strike off
The enslaving nature of the agree
ments they enter into is, of course,
well known by the men. Under other
conditions no body of workers would
for long consent to such a system of
bondage. Why the marlborough en-
ployees permit the condition to endure
can be understood only in the light
of the demoralizing effect upon their
resistance produced by the company
spy system. The following extracts
