Co. Union Assdiled
Bv Bourd Examiner
Finds the RailwuY Guilty Of
Dominating Employees
Association
FIGHTING A. F. OF L.
Organization Was Formed
To Weaken Federation
Athlete

Washington, D. c. (AFLWNS).-R
n. Denham, National Labor Re-
lations Board Trial Examiner, in an
intermediate report recommended that
the Council Bluffs Street Railway
Company, Omaha, Neb., disestablish
the Employees Protective Association,
which the examiner found to have
been company dominated" according
to statement made public here by the
Labor Board
The examiner also recommended
that the company re-employ or restore
denied rights and privileges to total
of 239 employees from among those
who struck on April 20, 1885, and who
were refused employment or deprived
of substantial rights upon re-employ-
ment subsequent to July 5, 1885, in
course of unfair labor practices found
to have been committed by the COM
pany.
The labor controversy dates back to
1888 when the Amalgamated Associa-
ton of Street and Electric Railway
Employees of America, affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor, or
ganized Local No. 1902 among the en-
ployes of the company and by Febru-
ary, 1884, represented a majority
thereof and requested company to
negotiate union contract.
Company Union Established
Shortly after, according to the re-
port, Assistant General Manager
Frank B. Hudson, caused an employe
William Sheets, then earning less
than $40 week, to engage a suite
of rooms at the Paxton Hotel under
an assumed name and promote organ
ization of the Employees Protective
Association. Sheets testified he was
supplied with funds through a petty
cash account carried by Edward Han
son, chief clerk of the company. The
evidence disclosed that Hudson closely
directed the formation and activities
of the EPA; that afterwards Anthony
Ruebeck, a road officer, became its
hand picked president.
National Guard Called Out in Strike
A strike was called on April 16
1884, which closed down the Street
Railway Company. Another strike
was called on July 25, 1884. A thirc
strike was called April 20, 1885. Ar.

Conference Nav
Be Called Soon
Stute Industrial Relations
Program Should Come
From Meeting
(By Ohio Labor News Service)

Columbus, O.-An equitable state
industrial relations program, formu-
lated at conference of employers
and responsible labor leaders, may be-
come reality in Ohio if a suggestion
made by Francis j. Dillon, Toledo,
regional representative of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor receives
favorable consideration.
In letter to Governor-elect John
w. Bricker last week, Dillon urged
the new Chief Executive to call con-
ference early in January of industrial
leaders and organized labor repre-
sentatives selected in cooperation
with the Ohio State Federation of La
Dor, for the purpose Of studying in
dustrial problems in the state and
drafting program leading to peace
full solution of those problems.
Absence of Governor-elect Bricker
from Columbus on post-election va
cation made it impossible to obtain
his reaction to the proposal, which
was first revealed by Dillon in an ad-
dress before the Toledo Society for the
Advancement of Management.
In his letter, Dillon expressed the
belief that Ohio needs cooperation be-
tween employer and employe based on
voluntary understanding and not on
RECOMMENDATION and compulsion, making
impossible industrial warfare and sit
down strikes.
Dillon has long espoused confer
ence of labor and industry to accomp-
lish industrial peace in Ohio, claiming
that majority of the ills affecting in
dustrial welfare could be overcome at
the conference table.
Ignorance of the workers problems
were cited as the principal cause of
industrial strife by Dillon in an ad-

Little Consideration Given
Job Opportunities OF
Americans
EXPORT MANY JOBS
Work Opportunities Trans
ferred. Says the Tdriff
Representative

The far-reaching results of the re-
Gently signed Reciprocal Trade Treaty
with Great Britain is the subject of
report received by President James
M. Duffy from the Brotherhood's
Washington tariff representative, M.
J. Flynn. President Duffy states the
opinions expressed by Mr.. Flynn coin
eide with his own.
The complete letter follows:
Dear Sir and Brother:-
An analysis of the Reciprocal Trade
Treaty with Great Britain, it's Colonies
and Possessions and Canada, signed
on the 18th illustrates how little con-
sideration or protection the JOB op-
portunities Of American workers re-
ceive from the School Boy theorists
in the State Department, entrusted
with the negotiation of these allegedly
Reciprocal Trade Treaties.
Despite common knowledge that
many millions of American workers
are unable to secure JOBS; with full
knowledge that our present tariff
rates permit the landing of products
of workers in foreign countries (com-
petitive with or comparable to prod
ucts of American workers sold in
American markets) at total landed
costs which are less than our costs
of production or delivery to the prin-
cipal American markets, these School
Boy theorists apparently beguiled, or,
possibly hypnotized by the glamor of
the MONOCLE, have again literally
transferred the JOB opportunities of
many thousands of American Pottery
workers, Engravers, Clothing workers,
Hatters, Printing Trades workers, to
mention but a few to workers in for
eign countries. Even the JOBS of
American Fishermen, who brave the
storms Of the Seas to secure Fish for
the American table, must not relin-
quish a part of the American market
in order that the International Bank
ers may secure an additional profit
through the purchase and sale of
Foreign Exchange.
In addition, through the terms of
these Trade Treaties, American indus
tries will find it improbable and
workers will find it impossible to Sc
cure work in the production of higher
cost articles in the Table Chinaware,
Wearing Apparel, Leather Book Bind
ing, Felt and Straw Hat industries.
Apparently those who come in con-
tact only with the SELECT feel that
American workers should be content

The British Reciprocal Agreement
will result in loss of wages Of 81 1,500,-
100000 a year in dinner and china ware
branches. Additional proportionate
losses will occur to earthenware and
porcelain branches of the pottery in

have been as completely dispossessed
of the opportunity for living as
American citizens as the Jews in Ger

Before city ownership of the light plant. the city paid for all street lamps. Since city ownership the light department has paid for the lamps, which last year cost S250.
 The towns failure to pay for the street lighting, means, MT MeIn- tosh pointed out. that consumers of electric current, residential and commercial, pay the bill, an obvious injustice both to the consumers and the light department. The first step in reduction of light rates. he stat ed, must be insistenee on the towns paying it's bills through the proper channels and not through placing the entire burden on The consumers

Tn this stndy examination was made of the 25I9 bills rendered by the Nrangeu light department in the year 1887. In this connection he expressed his appreciation to City Clerk l.. B. Chisholm for the painstaking data he had compiled which made an ae- eurate analysis possible
 There are 374 users Of current in Wrangell. The residential rates are in five blocks divided 12Ie cents for the first 25 kilowatt hours: 12 cents for the next 9; 10 cents for the next 36. 5 cents for the next 30 and 8 cents for all over 101 k. W h.
 The first alternate shown by Mir. Mcintosh reduced the present resi- dential rate one cent each in the first two blocks. On last years rec ords this would cause a loss of rev enues in a year of $S34.75. Each alternate cut a little deeper with the fourth showing a loss of s1.- $1241.15.

 PRINT AND EDIT NEWSPAPER

Kennecott now has a newspaper all it's own-The Kennecott Star Published, edited and printed by pu- pills of the Blackburn School, under the supervision of J. L. Busey, 1t is replete with news stories. feature stories, school news. mining news. and territorial news, and we'll thought-out editorials. On top of that 1t has an attractive format and is well printed and is indeed a cred it to it's staff. It is the only school printed paper in the Territory. Other schools mimeograph their papers or have them done in local print shops.
 An interesting article in one of the early issues of the Star by the Poultry Editor tells about the egg situation at this interior mining camp during the winter and is presented herewith because Of the novel viewpoint presented:
 A few weeks ago Pilot Smith of the Cordova Air Service landed the biggest cargo of fresh eggs ever flown to McCarthy-thirty cases at one lick.
 Last year the boys were willing to bet that the eggs could make the trip under their own power. John Letendre says he likes them that way, and he has no use for an egg that won't stand up for itself. He says he once owned a trained egg that would roll over at the word of command.
 He spent long winter training the egg but while showing it off to some friends one day, he made it roll over so many times it became scrambled. As it had been a pet, he couldn't eat it himself, but, being short of grub, gave it to his male- mute dog. Later in the evening he was thinking sadly of his lost pal and happened to say the same words he used with the egg. The dog rolled over just the same as the egg had done.
 John felt better after that, as, he says, he knew the egg had found a good home"
