Works for Bell
THREATS FOLLOWED BY
PROMISE OF FULL CREWS
By GEORGE A. VAN SMITH
THE employes of the Southern Pa
cific* company have received their
voting orders. They have been tod
that they must vote for Theodore", a:
Bell, the Calhoun-Herrin-Hearst-Ruef
candidate for governor. The orders
have been conveyed through the straw
boEses in the yards and shops, and by
tpecial couriers who* have traveled the
length of the Southern Pacific's system
!n California.
The railroadmen have been cate
chised, warned, threatened. They have
received renewal of oft broken promises
cf improved <«onditions, contingent upon
the defeat of Johnson and the election
bt Beil. They ali understand, and some
of them admit that an exhibition of
friendliness for Johnson and the peo
ple's cause will be met with summary
dismissal from the places that mean
bread and butter for their wives and
children.
"Never Introduced"
Theodore A. 13ell in answer to ques
tions propounded by Tlie Call said he
lenew nothing to indicate that Calhoun
. fc.iu] Hcitlji were supporting his candi
d&cy. That statement was made as re
srards Calhoun, in fac of the Pan
Francisco Post's vociferous advocacy of
his candidacy* The support of Calhoun's
kept n^wepaper drab has b^en sufficient
indication for the thinking men of
California, who. like Bell, have never
"been Introduced to Calhoun," but who,
unlike Bell, would refuse to meet or
accept political dishonor from Calhoun.
"Indications" of Support
Here arc some "iYidicallons"" of Her-
Hn's support and the support of the
So ut hern Pacific company's political bu
reau. Theodore Bell may* refuse to
recognise them on tlie ground that he
i has never been introduced to Herrin,
tt»ut they will speak to the, public louder
j<han the known activities of Jer«> Burke
;«nd his strikers who have made a wbis
-jr>erinp o^mpaipn aj?aln&t the people and
•the people's candidates.
One of t!).cf=e indication?:, plain enough
rfor every railroadman who has re;
helved it. is a card containing a series
!«qf nine question^ and answers. These
• card? have been distributed to the em.
•ployes of the Southern Pacific company
•in the yards at Oakland and throughout
fthe system in California by the feo called
i^iraw bosses, the yard foremen and men
;Jn charge of gangs or crews generally.
\u25a0 Cards Widely Distributed
Thefe cards have been distributed to
.trainmen, engineers, firemen, station
aß.nd section employes through their im
mediate superiors or through the cour
iers who have covered the length of
every division in the state, acting under
orders.
The first question Is. "Would Hiram
Johnson ho a. good governor?" The
\u25a0^nf-Tver, an unequivocal "No."
Th* last question is, "Who would be
<Ji good jr° VPrn °r for California?" The
answer is, "Theodore A. Bell."
The intervening questions and an
swers are designed to show that the
selection «f Johnson would mean the
-curtailment of railroad employment in
California, commercial stagnation; that
Johnson is a parasite and enemy of
labor and that no man can be true to
California and vote for Johnson.
Trainmen Given Orders
Th^se questions and answers are
•printed on a dark colored tag or ticket
board. They have been put into the
hands of thousands of\<?raployes of the
Southern Pacific company by the im
mediate superiors of those employes.
Those bosses acted under orders trans
mitted through the heads of the several
departments.
Over every California division of the
Southern Pacific carefully chosen men
lave gone to give the orders -to the
trainmen. Their work has not been so
coarse. Their orders have not been
