RAILWAY UNION
IS UPHELD BY
HIGH COURT

Railroad labor unions won a
sweeping victory in the Supreme
Court yesterday, when it held
that company unions" could not
be formed to break the employees
organizations, after they have
been recognized. Chief Justice
Hughes delivered the opinion.
Hailed as a blow at attempts
by railroads to break up labor
unions by substituting company
unions" the decision came on
an appeal by the Texas and New
Orleans Railway from an In
junction. The road is a sub
sidiary Of the Southern Pacific.
Ruling Affirmed
District Court at Houston, Tex,
granted an Injunction to the
Brotherhood of Railway and
Steamship Clerks, restraining
the company from interfering
with, influencing or coercing"
the clerical employees of the COM
pany, from organizing and des.
ignating representatives.
The Circuit Court at New Or.
leans affirmed the District Court
and the company carried its ap.
peal to the highest tribunal.
The Supreme Court said:
"The legality of collective
action on the part of employees
in order to safeguard their
proper interests is not to be
disputed.
"Such collective action would
be mOckery if representa-
tiOn were made futile by inter
ferences. Thus the prohibition
by Congress of interference
and conference between en-
plOyerS and employees was
based on the recognition of the
rights of both.
Selective Right Held
"The railway labor act of
1925 does no. interfere with
the normal exercise of the
right of a carrier to select its
employees or to discharge them.
"The statute is not aimed at
this right of the employers, but
at the interference with the
right of the employees to have
representatives of their own
choosing"

BACK IN the days when the old Texas Long
horn cattle were ranging the Western
plains, following the disappearance Of the great
buffalo herds, / was driving westward along
the old miners trail that ran from the Black
HILLS Of Dakota along the River Belle Fourche
across Wyoming to the Big Horn Mountains.

brush plain which gets its moisture mainly from
the Winter SHOWS. Very little rain falls there
during the Summer. but when 1t does rain 1t 10
almost always heavy thunderstorm. accom-
panied by a great display Of lightning and q
lot of loud rolling thunder.
When one Of the storms occurs every horse,
cow, deer, antelope or other wild animal stayn-
pedes, running in blind panic away from the
thunderstorm. On this particular day there
was big storm gathering off to the south,
and kept watch Of 1t as drove along. II
was close enough 50 that could see it plainly
without being caught in it. Presently started
across the mouth Of side valley which ran
back into the hills to the south ana in this
valley between me and the Storm was a herd
Of about three thousand wild Texas steers, the
kind with the big, long horns. These cattle
can run like jackrabbits, and when they stam-
pede they are so crazed with fright that they
run blindIy as fast as they can 60.
When reached a place where they we're
directly between my outfit and the big storm,
the storm suddenly broke with a mighty crash
of thunder and flashes of lightning 1t so
frightened my horses that they whirled away
to the right, cramping the wagon and throwing
me out. My rife was lying across my knees,
so It fell with me, and landed on my head
and shoulders all tangled up with the gun
The crash stunned me for several seconds, but
/ soon recovered my senses somewhat and rose
to my feet with the rifle in my hand
Suddenly heard a roaring, pounding noise
in the direction of the storm. / looked I'D in
a half-tlased way to find that those three thou
sand cattle had broken into a stampede and
were tearing toward me as fast as they could
run, with heads down and tails flying. 1t was
up to me to do something in a hurry if I
was not TO be crushed like egg under their
flying hoofS.
1t was out of the question for me to run /
was so hurt and dazed from my fall that 1
could more run than could fly. More
over, there was no place to run TO if could

more of the maddened brltes ran into him,
and down they went, too, disappearing under

Then rapidly fired 10 shots into the same

out of ammunition. But it was all right, for
I had knocked down enough cattle 10 split the
herd and pile up an island OF dead animals.
The others could not climb over this pile SO
they split to either side and ran past Hne,
leaving me safe behind the bulwark Of dead

Of the buffalo hunters, who used it to save
themselves from being trampled to death when
caught in front OF buffalo stampede. And IL

Where Columbus Died.

CHRISTOPER MBUS planted the
Spanish flag ON American soil in 14o2 as
you know, and while he was not the first dis
coverer Of the new world he was the first one
to advertise it to Europe. You would imagine
that a man who made such discoverBwgHd
who gave news TO the civilized world Of a great
country across the Atlantic should have re-
ceived the highest honors from his own people
and his own King at least. Columbus re-
ceived but little reward for the great work he
did, for in spite of the great voyages he made,
he was considered failure.
You see, when he started westward with his
three small ships he expected to find not a
new continent, but a short route to India, the
land OF spices and jewels and precious silks.
And when he discovered merely" the Glands of
deceit and disappointment place of Sc
pulchres and wretchedness to Spanish hiClal-
gcs," the new world called, and failed
to bring back precious jewels, spices and silks,
the people were disappointed.
That is why Christopher Columbus died in
poverty, neglected and broken-hearted. The
people did not know then what the world knows
now, that the great discoverer gave them a
land which contained far greater wealth than
the mere jewels and spices they hoped to OBJ
tain, and that it was destined to become a new
world far weather. than the old. The build
ing in which Columbus died in 1906, iSiMea
