COMPULSORY
ARBITRATION
Strangles Eight-Hour Work
Day and (lives $."0,000,
000 to Railroads
Railway clerks, freight handlers, ex
press and station employes know what
compulsory arbitration means to them
Under the decision of the United
States railroad labor board, recently
handed down, the standard eight-hour
workday is not protected. Overtime
pay does not become effective until
after nine hours' work. Through the
decision the railroad owners are
handed a gift of $50,000,000.
In money, this gift makes a total
of $750,000,000 which the railroads
have been authorized to take from
the wages of the railroad workers
since the passage of the Cummins
Lseh law in 1920. The first reduc
tion in wages put into effect by the
labor board amounted to $400,000
000, the repeal of the national agree
nu nt, besides increasing the hazards
of railroad travel, put another $300
000,000 into the railroads' treasuries
and now comes the $50,000,000 result
ing from the decision making the
overtime rate begin after working
hours, instead of 8 hours, the pre
viously established rule. Offsetting
these gifts to the railroads is a rate
reduction approximating $55,000,000
"in the public interest." Thus the
railroads, through the operation of
the labor sections of the Cummins
Esch law and the arbitrary power of
the railroad labor board which that
law created, have gained $695,000,000
merely for the asking. What thej
have gained through the 5*6 per cent
guarantee on valuation of railroad
property which that law gives then
is beyond estimate, but it is a saf
conjecture that the railroads hav
taken from the peop e of the country
more than a billion dollars in the last
two years.
On the part of the railroad work
ers they have the privilege of submit
ting their cases to the railroad labor
board.

Out by Company to
Workers
Baltimore.—Employes of one of the
divisions of the Pennsylvania system
have recently been asked by the offi
cials of the division to fill out this
form, which apparently is designed to
advise the company of all the inti
mate details of the employe's life and
how he spends his wages:
Name.
(ccupation.
Number of years in service of
R.
Married or single.
Do you own your own home, or do
you rent?
\re you obligated to use street rail

How gften daily?
Taxes (state, city, county).
House rent.
Single room rental.
Property (purchase price).

Cost of wood (for stpves).
Gas, electricity.
Board (show cost per week).
Shoes.

Cost of clothing (general).
Groceries (general).
Insurance (fire, liability, life).
Laundry bills.
One of those who filled out the
blank said that his name was "Joe
Buzz, alias Jimmy Valentine,"
and that his occupation was 'mon
keying with the monkey wrenches
in the monkey house." These
statistics, no doubt, will be of great
value to the Pennsy, for it is said the
distribution of the blanks created
much amusement among the workers
Proves Bad Thing
Farmers
For
Washington.—Howcontrol of money
affects the lives of the people is shown
by A. D. Zander in a letter to Gov
ernor Hart of Washington and which
has been inserted in the Congressional
Record by Senator Jones, of Washing
ton. Mr. Zander is chairman of the
executive committee national non
partisan league of Washington. He
writes to Governor Hart:
"The war finance board opened an
office in Spokane, October 10. Up to
the present time (December 14) they
have made but one loan, because the
banks refused to co-operate with
them: thousands of our farmers who
have -nod security can not get money
to carry on their farming operations
and a great. many farms will be fore
closed.
"One of our largest and best wheat
and stock farms in the state was fore
closed last week as there were no
buyers it was bid in by the mortgage
company at $7 per acre. Live stO'
and machinery would practically bring
nothing, if put up at foreclosure sale
at the present time.
"Millions of people in the United
States are suffering for want of food
and food products are far below the
cost of production. Farmers say if
money can be deflated to make inter
est rates high, farm crops can also be
deflated to make higher prices. This
is the only hope they see. This will
cause a great deal more unemploy
rnent and a great deal more miser
and suffering."
Mr. Zander recommends that t(
national government loan its war
nance money through county trea:
urers and county commissioners, rat
er than bank?.

'With the greatest epidemic of

The great mass of the people do
not understand the conditions that

their purse strings to alleviate the

BOYCOTT
3n U. S. Vessels By Ameri
can Railroads
Washington.—The Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul and the Great
Northern railroads will inform the
shipping board on March 1, it is stat
ed. whether they will abrogate their
preferential contracts with Japanese
vessels.
The railroads and their especial de
fenders have been placed in an em
barrassing position since it has been
discovered that the largest trunk lines
in the country have secret agreements
with foreign shipping companies
which amount to an out-and-out boy
cott of American vessels.
The agreements are made public
just at a time when every 100 per
cent American was preparing to
shout:
"Subsidize American ships that we
may have an American merchant
marine."
"Down with the LaFollette seamen's
law—it is a barrier to an American
merchant marine."

SEEKUNITY
Miners Would Hitch Up
With Rail Workers
Indianapolis.—President Lewis, of
the United Mine Workers, has asked
the executives of railroad unions and
the brotherhoods to confer with the
miners on proposed attacks on wage
scales, which all these workers face.
In a statement regarding his action,
President Lewis said:
"In order to cope with this situation
and to successfully combat this fren
zied hysteria,, the mine workers are
willing to pool their interests with
the railrjoad organizations and stand
with them in resistance to the propos
ed attacks on wage scales."
This proposed alliance, President
Lewis said, was stated at the miners'
convention in 1919 with the appoint
ment of a committee to confer with
executives of the railroad brother
hoods.
Nothing definite came of that con
ference and at the miners' last con
vention the miners' officials were in
structed to. continue their efforts.
In President Lewis' invitation he
made no suggestion of date or place
of meeting, these being withheld pend
ing replies.
