There were elderly bankers for
whom Gregory MiggS had made
fortunes. There were acrobatS

Wall Street clerks.
There were big shots and little

From the way some folks at
that age start to act like babies,
guess they're right.
When they say that q man

we don't know whether they
mean forty years or forty women.
At forty, . woman stops pat

as he knew. he had q home in

that only a week away from

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-03-19
By WALTER BOLT

In spite Of their craft barriers
and right wing leadership the 81
standard railway labor unions are
numerically and strategically the
most powerful combination of or
ganised labor in the United States
today. Over 100000 workers are
members of these 81 BrotherhoodS.
The agreements signed by them
determine the wage rates and
working demands of the entire in
dustry because the railroad COM
panies use these agreements as a
yard stick for measuring just how
far they dare go, not only with
their organized employees, but with
the unorganized and company I'M
ionized men. Work within the
standard railway unions is there
fore Of the utmost Importance.
The Ferment in the Unions
Inside the railway unions a real
ferment is developing. In some of
the brotherhoods this ferment is
already coming to a head in the
formation of groups around certain
issues, The membership of the Big
-Four Engineers, Trainmen, Fire
men and Conductors, has been
taxed to exhaustion for all sorts Of
capitalist ventures; banks, real es-
tate investments, huge administra-
tive headquarters, insurance fea-
lures of every kind. The Grand
Lodge officials, dethroned as mas
ters Of finance, have tried to pull
themselves out of the mud as best
they could, appealing to the "loy-
atty" of the membership to save
the good name of the organization
At the same time in order to stifle
opposition and maintain themselves
in office, they have resorted to gag
rule methods. In the Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen a lodge can
not circulate petition to other
lodges without running the risk OF
being disbanded by the Grand
Chief Wholesale explosions OF

satisfaction with Whitney or his

administrations pretense that it
has magnificent, philanthropic in
terest in the small business man"
A. Blishewitz, small-fry New York
hat manufacturer, worded the stu
alton thus, in speaking before
group meeting on industrial organi-
zation in the Code Authorities:
Even where the majority of the
members of an industry are small
units, the larger industrialists have
more power and greater representa-
ton on the Code Authority. The
representation is such that we can
only veto any measure undesirable
to the small firms, but we cannot
on the other hand bring about any
corrective steps for our benefit"
How It's Done
When they came to open price
listing, again, they found them
selves in chaotic disagreement
Open-price listing is the device by
which they fix prices land fix them
high under the N.R.A.-the device
of having various members Of an
industry file notice of prices with his
trade association or Code Authority
and then allowing a waiting pc
Rod" before adopting new prices.
During the waiting period the
central trade body exerts pressure
on the prices members to
bring their scales tlp to those main

AmaIgamatiOn, the One Big
Union and New Unions
Disillusioned railroad workers are
looking everywhere but within
themselves and their own organi-
cations to find a solution to their
national and local grievances. The
One Big Union idea has always
been popular with railroad men
and in many parts of the country
an 1. w. w. card was considered
with even greater favor than mem
bership in one of the standard
unions. The I. w. w. is played out
now, but the ideas in the minds of
railroaderS still persist. All kinds
of amalgamation schemes for the
81 railroad brotherhoods are on the
market and their promoters are
hard at work getting Tom, Dick
and Harry to sign up for their par
ticular pet scheme. And all the
while that these blue print pana-
ceas are going the rounds, condi-
tons are slipping from us through
the neglect of machinery which is
already set up for taking care of
local, union and job grievances.
1t is a serious mistake to place
before railroad workers the illusion
that amalgamation by itself will
right their wrongs. 1t is quite true
that We could get along much bet
ter with one organization for the
engineers and firemen, and one for
the trainmen, conductors an d
Switchmen, but that one organiza-
ton in control of Whitney or John
ston or Robertson would represent
the interests of the men no better
than the five existing organiza-
tons do now. And Johnston in
control Of the funds of two organi-
cations could have swindled the
men even more thoroughly than he
did with the engineers.
1t is not so much the form of
the organization which is at fault
or its size. 1t is its policy For
experience has shown that a small
fighting union can win demands
