Strikers Order Trains
OFF State Railway

SAN FRANCISCO -(FP)- Strik-
ing longshoremen in San Francisco
and their sympathizers ordered freight
trains off the state-owned Belt Line
Railway which runs parallel to the wa
terfront and connects the piers with
ranscontinenta1 railroad terminals.
The crews quit, admitting their fear of
running the trains against the will Of
the strikers.
Governor Merriam has warned the
strikers that the state of California will
move traffic on the railroad even if
troops are needed to do so. He was
expected to call the National Guard
unless the strikers gave way.
Police and the National Guard were
prepared to use vomit gas as well as
tear gas on the strikers. Described as
the most sickening of non-fatal gases
known to military science, vomit gas
causes a violent nausea and headache,
and puts its victims out of commission
for at least two days.
Though urging strikers to arbitrate,
the National Longshoremen's Media
ton Board acknowledged that the hir-
ing hall question is still unsolved. At
torney- General Homer Cummings rul-
ing that the Waterfront Employers
Union need not deal with any strikers
but the longshoremen provides another
seemingly insoluble case for dispute,
since all strikers have been demanding
firmly that all unions must have their
status settled at the same time.
Seamen were voting on the arbitra-
ton question, nevertheless. The me-
diation board has announced that it
will enforce arbitration by public
hearings and will issue subpoenas for
elections if no agreement can be
reached. The question is whether the
members Of maritime unions shall vote
on submitting their grievances to the
board for arbitration. If the strike
leaders agree to this and the vote car
ries, it means that the men would go
back to work pending arbitration.

CAPITALIST FRIEND OF Rail
LABOR Is EXPOSED AS FOE

WASHINGTON. Up. Another
false friend Of labor" stands exposed
in the person of Milt w. Harrison,
president OF the Security Owners As
ISOLATION, Inc. A circular which he
put out attacking six-hour day, full
crew and train limit legislation on
urging investors to rally to the pro-
lection OF property rights" against
labor, has drawn a hot comeback from
Pres. A. F. Whitney OF the Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen. Whit
ney's reply, printed in the July issue
of the Railroad Trainmen, is in the
nature of an order to "scram," adj
dressed to one who has long and per-
sistently Cultivated" railroad labor
leaders and has exerted considerable
influence on rail labor affairs.
For many years." says Whitney,
pres. Milton w. Harrison of the As
ISOLATION masqueraded himself as a
friend Of organized railroad labor and
persisted in having meetings with the
chief executives of the various rail-
way labor organizations, on the plea Of
the mutual benefit that would arise
from unselfish cooperation between
labor and security owners
However, the heads Of the q labor
organizations soon came to realize
that Mr., Harrison was not our friend,
but was only attempting to play us for
what he could get out OF us. We
found that instead Of trying to coop
crate with US, he was really trying to
destroy the power and influence Of
organized railroad employees. Mr..
Harrison has not recently been given
the opportunity further to cooperate,
as he calls it, with railroad labor"
When the campaign for a 6-hour
day was first started by railroad labor,
Harrison horned in right away with
much display OF friendly interest.
When the Brotherhoods called a con-
ference in Chicago to deliberate on the
subject, Harrison interviewed with a
message ostensibly friendly to the
idea but warning that nothing must
be done to hurt railroad profits (the
implication being that if all the shorter
hours amounted to was a glorified
stagger plan, the men accepted lesser
monthly earnings as a result, it might
be all right with him. After the Chi
cago conference, the initiative to call
meetings of representatives of rail
capital and labor on the subject OF a
6-hour day was left to Harrison.
Harrison was also influential in the
negotiations leading up to the accept
ance Of a voluntary" wage deduction
OF 10 per cent by railroad labor, which
followed on the six-hour day confer
ences.
The circular which Whitney attacks,
complains Of the labor amendments to
the Emergency Transportation Act, de-
signed to check the number Of lay-offs
due to coordination activities opposes
6-hour day and other railroad legisla-
ton; and urges railroad capital to
unite against labor.
Labor is pressing its demand and
labor is organized" says the security
owners circular, signed by Mr.. Har-
rison. 1.-THE Security Owners Associa-
ton, on behalf of investors, is oppo r
ing. So long as labor is organized
more solidly than investors, property
rights will be endangered and there
will be no assurance that a subsequent
attack on security owners can be sue
cessfully met"
The governing board of the Associa-
ton is made up chiefly of prominent

Whitney answers the walls of the
"coupon-clippers' with some facts
about rail profits and wages. He
points out that "in the bad economic
year of 1888, railroad security owners
received $22,000,000 more in interest
than they received in the prosperous
year Of 1927 while during this same

Artie Boyd has refused to catch
Edward Foxley's twisting shoots
without the aid of football para

He made this plain, when the
Tech faculty members, told him
they must stop the Fasteners to-
day at Eastern Stadium, if they
are to ever hold their heads high

Your inquiring reporter, eager
to obtain first-hand information
about Foxley's pitching prowess,
trotted out to Tech Stadium yes
terday and watched the Tech
High School baseball coach work
out.
He looked mighty good on the
mound. throwing only 10 balls
over the backstop and hitting five
batters.
Secret of Success
The secret of Foxley's pitching
success is to practice but once
year and to smoke as many cigar
cites as you like.

Hardell on the noodle.
