RAILROAD CHIEFS
DEFY INJUNCTION
ISSUED BY COURT
No Punishment Is like
ly to Follow

HOUSTON, Feb. s. Although
evidence is conclusive that officials OF
the Southern Pacific Railroad are
guilty of violating an injunction is-
sued against them in a case arising
out of organizing attempts by the
Brotherhood of Railway Clerks,
Judges concerned in the case have
hesitated and delayed before naming
these officials on contempt of court.
The officers of the road to be ad-
Judged are H. M. Lull, executive vice
president, G. S. Waid, vice president
and general manager, J. G. Torian, as
sistant to Waid, and w. R. Mann, as
sistant superintendent of the Ell Paso
division.
Justice j.. C. Hutcheson, before
whom the case is to come on Friday
has announced that: at is hard to
believe that railroad and its Off
Gals would seek to set at naught both
the judicial and the legislative powers
of the United States"
The original injunction was secured
by officials of the Railway clerks In
an attempt to prevent the railroad
from discriminating against the union
and organizing a company union.
Both of these conditions were violated
by the company and workers were
discharged for joining the union. The
injury to the union has been done
whichever way Justice Hutchinson now
decides the question of contempt.

The Workers Party at work in a
big country. The country is big in
every respect-in geographical extern
sion, in population, in historical role,
and in the magnitude of the problems
that it's working class faces.
The opportunities for work and
struggle are enormous. The Workers
Party stands virtually alone in the
field The socialist party, unlike the
parties of some of the European coun-
tries, is numerically weaker than the
Workers Party. What is more i'm
portant, it has dropped pretty largely
the pretense Of being class struggle
party and made itself openly an ap-
pendage of the i. F. of l.. bureau
cracy, which, in turn, becomes ever
more openly tool of big business in
the labor movement.
Reaction Increasing.
In the face of the tremendous power
of big business and the brutal sway
of reaction in domestic and foreign
governmental affairs, with the work

Its a Big Country"

lcally and so inadequately unorganized
on the economic field, the Workers
Party has tremendous tasks and a
boundless field for work. All that are
needed are trained forces in sufficient
abundance to meet all the needs of the
labor movement. There are the unor-
gained industries to be organized =
basic industries like autos. steel, rub
Der. Even the saving of the miners
union threatened with destruction is
inseparable, from the problem of or
ganizing the unorganized fields and of
organizing the left wing where the
union exists. There is from IS to 80
percent of the working class to or
ganize. And for the organized there
is the problem of giving militant lead
ership and modern fighting organiza-
tional forms. There is the Labor
Party to build. There is the Workers
Party to build. There are vast
stretches of the farther west where
the Workers Party has only little
handful of members or none at all
And there is the rapidly industrializ-
ing south in which the Party has not
even foothold.
Placed before such a situation and
such opportunities, the party's sphere
of work is limited not by the possibili-
ties of the situation but by the lack
of sufficient trained forces capable of
undertaking am the gigantic tasks
placed upon it. To meet this situation,
the three-months' full-time day train
ing course of the Workers School will
be inaugurated next Wednesday night
at the mass meeting at Irving Plaza
Hall, 18th street and Irving Place,
Workers Leaders.
The school will take first-line work
ers from every district, workers like
Ben Gold, Carl Hacker, Tom Fleming,
and V. Dart, who have proved them
selves by years of devoted activity,
workers who have demonstrated their
fighting ability and determination to
devote their whole life to the revolu-
tionary movement, and it will train
them for better service in that move
ment. The aim of the training course
is to give more and better leadership,
more conscious leadership to the labor
movement.
The Workers School will give no
diplomas to its graduates. They will
not be fitted upon completion of the
course to take up some work outside
of the boundaries of the working class,
There is no room in the school for
"chronic students" who never leave the
world of books. Theory is studied for
the sake of practice and practice is
raised to the level of theory as it is
taught at the Workers School. It's
graduates are trained for better fight
ing against the most powerful capital
list class the world has ever known.
And one thing only the school guaran-
tees to its students they will
find plenty Of ways to put their knowl-
edge to use after they finish the
course. For after all, as we said in
opening-it's a big country. And
there's always plenty of room on the
firing line.

No decision was give1 out today.
 The original petition of MacDea- nell Brothers requested psrmissioe to operate into the city Of Hartford, but this privilege was denied them and they were obliged to termiuata their bus service at Farmineteo, At that time the petition was strenu- ously objected 10 by representatives Of the Connecticut company.
 Bristol at the present time. in the opinion of many. is entitled to bet ter service to the capital city. Train service between the two points has been curtailed and in several in. stances trains have been replaced by the smaller motor cars. It is un. derstood that many letters have been written to the public utilities com mission requesting that bus servicl be granted and these may have some bearing on the ultimate ce' cision Of that body.

SHUBBERY TO BE PLANTED

When the new state highway was built on Pennington avenue the turn at Boston Corners was changed con- siderably. The turn at this point was widened and when the work was completed large piece of bar ren land was left on the curve at the opposite side of the monument. This left the appearance of the cor ner very unsightly.
 The state highway department in- vestigated the corner and decided that it was good spot to lay out small park. About ten workmen and landscape artists were sent here Tuesday to start work on the pro- posed park. At the present time men are busy filling in the land with fertile dirt. It is planned to plant small trees and bushes on the land and when the work is com- pleted a great addition to the beauty of the street should be the result,
