Labor Leaders
Meet to Check

i
ers the Fallacies of
Pro-Germanism
Labor leaders from all part*? of the
In.ted States, headed by Samuel Gom?
pers, president of the American Fed
er?t.on of Labor, met at tho Hotel Con- I
tinental yesterday afternoon and
'-?rmulated plan? for their crusade !
?pain-**, the German influence? now ac- |
tive among the workmen of the coun- j
try. These plans call for t nation?
wide publicity campaign, which will bt
financed by the American Federation |
of Labor and directed chiefly against '
the People's Council, the Workmen's :
?.'our.cil of America and other radical
organizations regarded as un-American
?nd unpatriotic in their aims.
It wa? decided yesterday that com?
mittee? of volunteer and paid workers
?hall be sent to every labor centre in |
the country to educate the American
l?borer in the fallacies of pro-German
Um and the necessity for adhering to
the American causo in the present
crisis. A national labor pub'icity or
gtniiatlon, consisting of four members,
wss formed to carry on this work. The
committee consists of David J. Berry,
m?n?ging editor of "The National
Labor Journal," of Pittsburgh; W. L.
Small, of Newark; Ernest B?hm, secre?
tary of the Central Federated Union,
and Robert Maisel, of this city.
Think Workert Are Loyal
It was the sense of the meeting that
th? German propagandists have not
m?d? any great Inroads on the loyalty
of the American laborer, but that they
htve loud voices and work in ?
?t??lthy, deceitful manner. The con?
ference, therefore, after addresses had
hten made by John Spargo, Mr.?. Rose
Ptitor Stoke?, Samuel Gomper? and
other?, decided that the best way to
combat these influence was by an open
?nd above board educational campaign
?mor.g the masses. The following res?
olution wa? adopted:
"It i? the ?en?e of this con
ference that it is the duty of all
th? people of the United States,
without regard to class, national?
ity, politic? or religion, to faith?
fully ar.d loyally support the gov?
ernment of this country in carry?
ing or. the pre-ent war for justice,
freedom and democracy to a tri?
umphant conclusion. We there?
for? pledge ourselves to every
honorable effort in accomplishment
of that purpose."
Mr. Gomper? was authorized by the
enferme?- to secure the cooperation
of leading men ar.d women "in an alli?
ance for labor and democracy, to sup?
port the government ir. its ftruggles for
democracy and I ? causo of
democracy at home."
Mr. Gompers then appealed to the
eJ.'or? of tat Jewith newspapers pres
pltdft rheir support. These men
. the rumors that the East Side
was less loyal than any other ?ection,
and branded a? untrue the reports that
German ?pics were making it their
American headquarters.

Borden Attacked
As War Leader
By Canadians
Critics Assert Premier Has
Muddled Dominion's
Affairs
a S??- .?I Corrrtpcr.Fl.r.t of The Tribun.]
Toronto, July 28.?Will Sir Robert
Horden last through the war as Prime
Minister of Canada?
The question is raised, apart alto?
gether from the hazards of the general
election, now expected in September or
October, by vigorous personal criti?
cisms of his war leadership which have
broken out this week in quarters which
nre not opposed to but in accord with
Ml conscription bill.
The charge made by his critics is
that ho has displayed a lack of leader?
ship and a capacity for muddling that
make it impossible for him to lead the
country through the remaining period
of stress. His defenders see in him a
second Lincoln, see in his deliberation
only strength and patience. If the crit?
ics win and the defenders lose it will
be because in war time nothing counts
but results.
Perhaps Sir Robert will y?*t find a
way through, but on "the surface
Canadian affairs never appeared in
such a muddle as they are to-day. The
orthodox Borden supporter's comment
on this situation is that it is all Lauri
er's fault. To this the Laurier man
replies thBt Laurier has not been in
office.
Many observera believe that the
Premier's first and perhaps cardinal
mistake was in not organizing a na?
tional government in 1914, instead of
carrying on the war as a partisan af?
fair. In Canada the Prime Minister
does not become the leader and repre?
sentative of the nation in the war, as
the President of the United State-?
does. As the organization's almost solo
rallying point, he remains to a greater
extent than in Washington the leader
of his party.
Situation Aggravated
From the outset of the war this con?
dition was aggravated by some of the
Premier's associates, who treated Lib?
erals without much consideration. The
opposition was not invited to co?
operate; initead, it was threatened i
with extinction if it didn't be good.
"Oppose us in anything and we'll go '
to the country and you will be wiped
out," was the attitude of the govern?
ment. Suggestions of a union Cabinet
were ignort.l. Kven as recently as the
other day, when conscription was in?
troduced it was introduced us a party
measure.
hut when in a few days the Premier [
discovered that there would be more \
than honor and glory involved in con- |
scription, when he discovered, in fact, J
that he had nearly, if not quite, "spilled i
the beans," he offered the coalition.
For more than two months he has '
bron offering positions in his Cabinet '
to Liberals and Conservatives and cap?- !
talists and non-partisans from one end |
of the country t<> the other, and so far
ne public anouncement has been made '
that any one has accepted. There never '
was a like situation before.
The Premier has intimated that a na?
tional government s now essential.
But if he cannot form one, what is the
answer?
If Sir Robert retires, who will suc?
ceed? In the Cabinet Sir Thomas
White, Minister of Finance, is regarded
M the ablest man, but he is not strong
politically, having small personal fol?
lowing even in his own party.
Shaughnesscy Suggested.
It has been suggested that Lord
Shaughnessey, president of the Cana?
dian Pacific Railway, should head a na?
tional government. Shaughnessey has
never been in politics. He has prob?
ably found it easier to wield power
without office. Besides his views on
conscription have not been clearly de?
fined in public.
Iloi nter upon the stage this week
? i lifford Sifton, with a call to the
nation that sounds the clearest not?
of Canadian leadership that has been
heard from any public man since the
beginning of the war. "We are not
fignting for sentiment, for England,
for imperialism: we are fighting for
the rights of ourselves and of our
children to live as a free community,"
he aald.
It will be observed that this declara?
tion of faith is identical with that of
the United States. !\'o other Canadian
public man has had cither the courage
or the vision to make it. It immediate?
ly ?truck a responsive chord. Had it
bOOa made sooner, some of our difficul?
ties might havo been avoided.
.*-n distinctive among the utterances
of Canadian statesmen was Sifton's
message that the question was imme
diate'y aisked if he is a candidate for
?'??War Premiership.
Sifton Regarded a? Able
By many Sifton is regarded as the
ablest man in Canada. Formerly a first
lieutenant in Laurier'? Cabinet, he ha?
been out of public life for twelve years
and, unfortunately, he left it while still
under a*?ack. Yet, says one of the
chief of his dd critics, if we have to
choose between the Kaiser and Sifton
?.se Sifton.
Another possibility of the future is
that N. W Knwt-1!, leader of Ontario
Provincial Liberals, will accede to na?
tional leadership. He is a soun<l con
scriptionist and has done more to lead
public opinion along sound war linea
than any other public man in fa?ada.
Bat hi? following in the Ked?'ral iiold,
where flourlshe? th? green-eyed mon?
ster j?alou?y, i? ?till of diminutiv,
proportions. _ .
Posaibly Hlr Robert Borden will be
able ?hortly to announce o Cabinet re?
organization, either before or after the
pending election campaign. But the
danger of hi? continued leaderehio ap?
pear? to be either that he will be beat?
en by Leurler or that the eountry will
remetn I" the ?ame position as at
pr???nt. _ |

Chicago Strike
Leaders Refuse
Mediation Offer
Switchmen Will Not Treat
With Federal Board of
Conciliation
Freight Traffic HeldUp
19 Railroads Affected Declare
Only 2,500 Are Out;
Men Say 6,000
Chicago, July 28. Movement of
freight to, through and from Chicago
was handicapped to-day by the strike
of nineteen railroads of switchmen af?
filiated with the Brotherhood of Rail?
road Trainmen.
For a time after the men walked out,
at (*> a. m.. the possibility of mediation
hung in the balance, but before noon
the present likelihood of Fe leral reli if
vanished with the refusal of the strike
leaders to accept the offices of G. W. W
lltngcr, of the Federal Board of Media?
tion and Conciliation.
Contending that they sought only tho
establishment of reasonable rules re?
garding employment, promotion and
dismissal of switchmen, the strike lead?
ers asserted that close to fi.OOO men
quit work. The railroad managers'
conference committee placed the num?
ber who refused to work at less than
2,500 and declared tho cause of the
strike to be insistence by the strikers
on rules which In effect amounted to
the establishment of a closed shop
against switchmen not members of the
Brotherhood of Ka?rtad Trainmen.
llr?itherh?M>d of Railroad Trainmen
The situation waa further compli?
cated by the Switchmen's Union of
America, also largely employed on the
nineteen roads in the Chicago district.
The members of this union affiliated
?vith the American Federation of Labor,
and not ?vith the B. R. T., remained at
work, with few exceptions.
Federal officials were advised of the
strike, and the District Attorney ?aid
that, if conditions warranted, action
would be taken. Railroad officials ?aid
that government supplies and mail nad
not been delayed. Embargoes on per?
ishable good? were established by the
road?, though late in the day the Chi?
cago Junction Railroad announced that
its embargo did not apply to livestock
hauled over its tracks to the I'nion
Stock Yards by other road?.
Strike in Chicago
Will Have Serious
Effect in New York
New York yesterday had not begun
to feel the effects of the Chicago train?
men's strike, but local freight officials
said that if the strike continued
twenty-four hours it would have a se?
rious effect here, ?o far as the arrival
of foodstuffs and other supplies wa?
concerned. Government freight, they
said, would be given preference over
ull other varieties. If, despite this,
war supplies are deluyed, the Federal
authorities must take action to get the
material through, they predicted.
"The ?trike affects practically the
entire switching district of Chicago,"
said nn explanatory statement issued
hy the New York Central management.
"It will seriously jeopardize war traffic
if continued, and injure general com?
merce in innumerable directions. As
is well known, Chicago is tho railroad
focal point of first importance, and the
interchange of freight cars in the Chi?
cago yards runs into the tens of thou?
sands daily.
"All but '.hree of the railroads run
ring into Chicago are affected by the
strike, the three exceptions being the
Rock Island, the Chicago & Eastern
Illinois and the Chicago Great West?
ern, theso beinj* known a.? 'switchmen's
union roads,' having no agreement
with tho Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen, which c.'.iled th? walk-out.
"The railroad? had no peaceful alter?
native whatever. There was bound to
be a ?trike whichever way pending
issue? were decided. The negotiations
between the Brotherhood of Trainmen
and the committee of manager? of the
Chicago railroad? have been in prog?
ress throughout the past week. The
officer? of the Switchmen's Union of
North America were in conference at
the ?ame time, and they ?erved notice
upon the committee of rr.anagwr* that
if it yielded and granted the demand?
of the Brotherhood of Trainmen a gen?
eral strike of the ?witchmen would
immediately be caHed. There were
about 2,000 member? of the ?witch
men's union, a? against 2,600 member?
of the Brotherhood of Trainmen, in?
volved in this ?ituatlon.
"The strike :s?strictly an incident of
the war between these two union?. Tho
Brotherhood of Trainmen ha? been
prosecuting a vigorous campaign to
extend its m?n*ber?hlp and power
for a long time, this organization be?
ing the author and active sponsor for
the so-called 'full crew' laws existing
in twenty-two states, which keep some
20,000 of their members in Jobs which
the railroad operators declare are ?u
perfluous, wasteful and useless. W. C.
Lee, the president of the Brotherhood
of Trainmen, was tho spok?*Bman of the
'Big Four' Brotherhood chiefs through?
out a considerable part of the pro?
tracted controversy that led up to Con?
gress cn-.cting the Adamson eight-hour
law to forestall a nation-wide railroad
strike.
War Between I'nions
"The Switchmen's Union of North
America asked the 'Big Four' brother?
hoods of Trainmen, Engineer?, Con?
ductors and Firemen to be included in
the campaign for the 25 per cent wage
increase to be gained by an eight-hour
basic workday, but thp switchmen were
excluded in the launching of that big
labor campaign. The switchmen'.?
union accordingly made direct de?
mand* for the eight-hour day upon the
railroads, who offered to submit the
question to arbitration, as they offered
in the case of the 'Big Four' brother?
hoods.
"The switchmen accepted arbitra?
tion, and after a hewr.Bg before a Fed?
eral hour! they were granted the eight
hour day, and began to enjoy its extra
betltsflts many months before they WWW
obtained through enforced legislation
by the 'Big Four.' "
