NEW YORK.-Government inter
vention in labor disputes did not
originate with General Johnson's
N. r. A. Railroad men will recall
the period Of the World War. We
old reilrosders remember the in
famous Board of Arbitration
Mediation and Cancellation. presided
over by George H. Sines, Grand
Lodge Oficer of the Brotherhood
Of Railroad Trainmen."
We recall how for months and
months all sentiment for strike &C
ton on the part of the rank and
file was blocked by the Grand
Lodge of1ciallom, who together with
the heads of the sixteen A. F. of
L craft unions worked in perfect
harmony with Brother Sine's Board
in strangling every attempt on the
part of the men to secure decent
working conditions on American
railroads.
We were told by our misleaders:
Don't talk strike. 1t is against the
government and unpatriotic," and it
was only after the arnistice was
signed that the seething indignation
of railroad labor broke loose and,
rebelling against its traitorous lead
ership, carried through one of the
most bitter struggles in railroad
history.
Today, as we face a new war, the
same machinery is being hastily set
up in Washington. The Wagner
bill is trotted out by the defenders
of Wall Street. This bill is intended
to plug up whatever gaps were left
open by the N. R. A. 1t aims to
outlaw strikes and thus reduce all
labor organizations to useless de-
batting societies. The Roosevelt ad-
ministration by claiming labor to
its Job again assures the coupon
clippers that their profits are safe
and they can continue their war
plans uninterrupted.
We Railroad men must prepare to
block their schemes. We must build
in every R. r. yard and terminal
united front of all R R. men, join
ing hands with every honest rank
and file R. R. worker to fight for
decent living conditions on the job,
to prevent the company from
making layoffs, to stop the dropping
of union members who, due to I'M
employment and part time work are
unable to pay dues, and last, but not
least, to halt the shipment Of arms
and munitions and all war mate
rails. 1t is our job. We must and
will succeed.

Dear Mayor LaGuardia.
1t appears from the boss papers
that you are very busy man and
the odds are you never heard of
the Nieves family. Because if you
do know about the Moves family
it is hard to understand how you
have the nerve to show your face

You sec, Flo, that fine relief de-
partment OF yours has done a swell
job with what is left of the Moves
family, and if they are still alive
today it is certainly no fault of
your Welfare Commissioner Bill
Hcdson. I guess you know by now
it is the jobless who feed the job
less, so this story will probably not
surprise you. But there are many
workers who still have illusions
about your relief set-up and they
ought to know the facts.
Up until May % there were seven

were Mrs. Ruperta Moves and her

NEW YORK; read an issue Of

that have been in my own mind for
years, and you can rest assured
Ill be a reader and a booster from
that day on.
I have worked for the I.RT. for
81 years and am now motorman

big family and am the only work

two years. I have listened to graft

extraction chatter about the bless

these same frauds make political
football of the Irish workers in the
U.S.A. (most of whom left Ireland
to escape the crushing effect of
British imperialism by preying
upon their anti-British feeling.
These contemplate leeches, with
the help of the lingo Irish press in

the Irish workers in America blind

On April l, We called confer

dissemination Of MarxiSt theory

shops, in our neighborhoods and
organizations. The fact alone that
our call to this conference was so
we'll answered, proved once more
the need for theory and the good
work a Workers School can do
toward raising the political level in
district.
Our tasks outlined at the confer

Party must take the leadership in
the work of the local school COM

utilizing the experiences of the
school these past two years, can do
a great deal. We, too, benefited
by the experiences Of former at
tempts in Boston at organizing a
Workers School. None of them ever
succeeded in running for more than
semester. before they disbanded,
What they needed was prepare
tory work, consistent popularization
OF the school, disciplined registra-
ton and attendance, and finances.
This We well remembered in organ
izing the Workers School two wears
ago and made every effort to es-
tablish efficiency throughout our
work.
I feel that our experiences in
Boston have demonstrated once
more, that the so-called cry of '1ack
Of forces" is no excuse for neglect
ing important Party work. We have
also learned the absolute necessity
OF DAILY work in holding the work
together, and in preparatory work
we'll ahead of time where needed.
We have seen many workers COM
ing closer to the movement and
actually participating in the Party's
activities, helping in strikes and
some joining up with us in cur
struggles. The recent demonstration
against the German cruise K~rlz-
ruhe in Charlestown is vivid exc
ample of how students Of the WORK

Increased Speed-up.
Less Pay, at Mott.
Haven R. R. Yard.
BY a Railroad Worker
Correspondent

NEW YORK.-The Pullman Co.
utilizing the present depression to
make more profits, called on their
employees to vote fo- the 5 dav week
'in order to emplov more help" The
men on the Mott Haven job. such as
mechanics, electricians. helpers. and
car cleaners. etc, voted for the s.
day basis. They we're forced TO do
so, otherwise facing the loss Of the
job. With the day basis the COM
pany began to pile more work on
the men. with the result that no
more help was hired. Even those
that were laid off lately were not
put back to work. The Pullman
Co. is now performing the work in
five days with less help and there
fore less pay.
Besides this, the company intro
duced the 10 per cent wage cut in
January 1882, with promise that it
will be restored in January, 1888.
But up till now the wage cut still
remains.
At conference held in Washing
ton by the representative of the
Brotherhoods and the Railroad
companies in May 1882, where an
understanding was reached, it was
decided that and half of the
wage cut would be returned on July
1. 2 and a half in January, 1885, and
5 per cent on July / 1885.
The leaders Of the brotherhoods
have made this settlement without
asking their members, and the
promises made by the company are
not binding, just as they were not
before.
The workers of the Pullman Co.
are the most exploited. They are
not organized and therefore are re-
ceiving less pay than those working
on the Grand Central line. Some of
the workers of the Pullman Co.
working at Mott Haven yard tried
to put up petition to the boss to
restore the 6 day week. The men
on the job were afraid to sign the
petition, in order not to be perse-
cuted, or to lose their jobs.
The workers feel very bitter
against the company and its treat
ment. There is one solution for the
workers on the iob-to organize and
to fight for improved working con-
dltions.

If men cannot read or write

their employ who do not know
many words in English and these
men are required to tell the num-
Der of today's safety rule and re-

given.
There are instances, many of
them too, when men have come up

were told to return home on ac-
count of it being too cold for ice
or because they have been fur

In many cases some OF these I'M
