MERGER OF LABOR
UNIONS IS LIKELY
A. F. L. and Railroad Broth.
erhoods' Officials Said
81 to Favor Plan.
BY JOHN F. SINCLAIR.

. SPECIAL DlSpaJCn 10 Inc SJdT
NEW YORK, December 22.-The
proposed merger of the 100000 dues
paving members of the four railroad
brotherhoods with the 100000 dues
paying members of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor is an excellent idea.
The four brotherhoodS-the Rail-
road Trainmen, Locomotive Engineers,
Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen,
and Railroad Conductors-are not at
present affiliated in any way with
the American Federation of Labor.
Arthur F. Whitney, president of the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, has
already said he does not believe there
are any serious obstacles in the way
Of the merger and both William Green,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, and Secretary of Labor Doak,
who was formerly the legislative repre-
sentative for the Brotherhood of Rail
way Trainmen, are understood to favor
the move.
Labor needs a united front. 1t needs
better equipped research departments.
It needs-not agitatorS-but executives,
who are just as able and competent to
present its side of any question as are
the representatives of big business.
The Brotherhood Unions have always
been considered the leaders of union
labor But they have, by their attitude,
weakened labor's voice in the country.
The proposed merger is big jump
for labor.
Unemployment Aid.
The Brotherhood Unions, with head
quarters in Cleveland, have been meet
ing their own unemployed problem in
their own peculiar way. And how? Mr..
Whitney. speaking for tie Trainmen,
says that they are reducing mileage vol
unfairly and thus accommodating more
men, without increasing the expenses
of the railroads at all. For wages are
based entirely upon a monthly mileage
basis.
Already the "Big Four" the Soo-Line,
the Boston g. Maine, the Reading and
half dozen others are using the plan.
Mr.. Whitney expects it shortly will be
extended throughout the country. But
probably not all of the 10000 unem-
ployed in his union out Of the 10000
members will be taken care of in this
way.
David B. Robertson, president of the
Firemen and Enginemen, is working on
a similar plan to relieve the situation
of the 10000 idle members of the no.
900 belonging to his union
The four Brotherhood Unions, how
ever, have a more ambitious plan in
mind for future decision. 1t is the six
hour day at the present eight-hour
wage. This subject is receiving plenty
of serious discussion in many railroad
Offices these days.
How much unemployment will be re-
lieved by the Federal appropriation of
S116, 900 900 for emergency cOnStruc-
ton work? It is hard to estimate
though road construction work gets far
the largest part of it. Bear in mind,
this large sum must go into seven def
mite channels, as follows:

LONDON. Sept. 13-Historic Khy-
Der Pass. that narrow defIle through
the Himalayan mountains through
which invaders Of India have march,
ed with fire and sword for $500
years. is afiame again with battle
as British army airplanes drop
bombs on the worlds oldest and
most savage fighters and send them
scurrying into the hills.
For the Khyber country-scene of
Kipling's kim" and the last Brit
ish outpost on the Afghanistan bor-
der In northwestern India-is again
In the worlds news. The wave of
unrest that has swept India in the
Dandhi revolt has extended to the
fierce Pathan tribesmen in this re-
mote mountain fastneSs who see in
the situation q chance for loot and
their natural desire to fight.
The recent attacks Of these wild
and FESTIVE marauders on Pesha-
war, the British controlled city
that lies at the entrance to the
pass, have conferred attention on
them again. They have been
beaten off IN fights into the out
skirts or the city and British air
men, pursuing them into the hills,
have bombed their retreats.
A few miles beyond Peshawar the
pass begins and then for nearly 30
miles 1t leads It's dusty. winding route
through the overhanging hills to the
border Of Afghanistan. Nothing in
America resembles 1t, perhaps. ex-
cept the Grand Canyon Of Colorado.
Is Heavily Fortified
British forts are strung along the
pass and, except for q few turns
where the view is DISTRACTED, gun
ners command every foot Of It's
length. If this were not so. no rich
camel train travelling through the
khyoer pass with silks and other
valuable merchandise would be safe.
Even With these precautions, oc-
caSional wayfarers IRE murdered
with a well-aimed rifle bullet from
a sniper lurking among the rocks
and trees.
The tribesmen who live in this
desolate country are the worlds
most b~loodthirsty people, and have
been SO f3r centuries. Time upon
time they have been subdued by
military force. but never have they
been conquered. They fight with q
fanatical fury, spurred by their Mos
lem belief that the warrior who dies
In battle Is assured OF a place in
Allah's paradise.

"Rejuveuating" The Republican
Party.

National Republican leaders. according
to press reports. have decided. as result
of the late election. that the party must
be reorganized and rejuvenated. A part
Of the reported program is that it must
appeal to the younger element. Among
the details of procedure. it is reported that
former Senator Allen. of Kansas-he will
be former Senator on December lis to be
a sort OF liaison officer between the Congress
and the White House to reconcile the vari-
GUS party elements. and that he will event.
ually be promoted to the Craftsmanship of
the Republican National Committee and be
the local figure around whom the younger
element is to rally.
Commenting upon this plan. the New
York Times is skeptical concerning results
The paper says
The Republican party has ceased to
appeal generally to the young. They are
disguised by its archaic patter and
mystic formulas. the corruption that has
long marked it in Pennsylvania. Indiana and
Illinois. In many otates where there mas
been no act Of scandal. the management is
in the hands Of bosses more successful in
alternating old than in attracting new mem
bers. Generally speaking. the promotion
of mediocrities is the rule. More and more,
able and independent men find themselves
out Of sympathy with party that has
become soiargely mechanical. time-serving,
living in the past. barren for the most part
OF brave and inspiring leadership. 1t loses
followers because il lacks such chiefs.
ut must be revived, if il is to be, by
being honest. straightforward and bold,
led by men who have nobler aim in pub
PIC life than Office and the distribution of
patronage and the control Of Legislatures.
The artificial stimulation proposed at
Washington is merely humorous.
