the returning marchers have a big
mass meeting at which to make their
report, and many local neighborhood
mass meetings at which the very del
egates sent by the workers assembled
can report directly to those who sent
them.
Secondly, and at the same time, TO
launch new forces, new demonstra-
tons and delegations, to the local
relief agencies and local governments
to compel the granting of winter or
Christmas relief. to stop eHctions,
to get hot lunches for school chill
dren of the unemployed.
In the midst Of all these struggles,
a central task is also to build the
neighborhood and block committees
to fight for relief, lower rents, etc.
Another task to be carried out at
/ the same time, is to build further
united front movements of all kinds
| Of workers organizations, and of IN
organized workers, employed and uu-
employed, for specific struggles -

standing abuses, against heavier

relief, etc.

patches, the Irish Free State govern
ment, In collaboration with the mis-

today in the Palmer house
ballroom.
On the eve of the conference, A. F
Whitney issued a statement intimat-
ing surrender of the union leader
ship on the question OF the present
temporary" 10 per cent cut on which
the agreement expires Feb. /, 1888
He announced that the unions would
consider only the question of ex-
tending the 10 per cent wage reduc-
ton"
This is the maneuver of the off
Gals to make another temporary
extension of the cut while the rail-
way managers prepare their demands
for further slash and abolition of
working rule favorable to the unions,
under the provisions of the Watson
Parker arbitration law. The cards
are therefore already stacked against
the railWorkerS.
According to the official statement
10000 workers have been discharged
permanently and hundreds of thous-
ands placed on part time since the
wage cut of February this year. The
agreement called for an increase in
employment. This was the bait
dangled before the rank and file. In
the issue of their paper the Railroad

Chicago conference, the Railroads

ST|MSON FACES
NEW PROBLEMS

Disarmament-the problem he
went especially to Geneva to set
tie, and failed-is now one of the
least of Secretary of State Stim-
sons troubles.
Although Stimson made brave
effort to radiate optimism for
eventual success of the disarma-
ment conference on his return, it
is no secret that even State De
partment officials do not antici'
pate any striking accomplish
mentS from the conference.
Various political leaders talked
in friendly enough manner to
Stimson during his visit to
Geneva, but they did less than
nothing toward actually cutting
the gigantic armament load
which Europe is now carrying.
Among the more immediate
probes which Stimson faced to.
day are the Far Eastern situa,
ton, the political crisis in Japan,
completion of arrangements for
supervising the Nicaraguan elec.
tions. the matter of maintaining
the U. S. Scouting Fleet in the
Pacific permanently, and the
long pending negotiations for a
Canadian-American treaty for
development of the st. Lawrence
