PENNA, RAILROAD CONTINUES FIGHT ON TELEGRAPHERS Fake Company Union Wars on Workers PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 22—In spite of the fact that the railroad tele- graphers employed by the Pennsyl- vania line have voted nine to one in favor of sticking by their regular un- fon and turning down the fake com- pany union, the Pennsylvania is “call- ing a conference” of the “representa: tives” of the men and the company to meet here today “for the considera- tion of grievances, wages and working conditions,” The announcement says that there will be 150 of the “representatives of the employes in the telegraph depart- ment” present, and it is undoubted that this marks a beginning of a ‘bit- ter fight by the company upon the working class union of the Order of Railway Telegraphers, to destroy it by favoring the company union and dis- erimination against all-who refuse to leave the working class union for the fake company outfit. It must be remembered that the tele- graphers themselves cast the vote for their real union under the auspices of the railroad labor board. The com- pany had protested the. representa tives of the union appearing before the board, saying that the union was not representative of the men. The railroad labor board, thereupon, took @ secret ballot among the Pennsy] vania telegraphers, with the result, as stated, of a nine to one vote favoring the regular union as against the com- pany fake, By continuing the war upon the un- ion the Pennsylvania railroad is thus openly violating and defying the rail- road labor board. * Reports of Minnesota ° es Co-operative Societies LB SUBUR CENTER, Minn., Feb. 9%8—Reports of the Le Sueur Center farmers co-operative creamery asso- ciation show that $263,684.40 was re- eeived for butter in 1924.

Union last meeting asking for the organized labor sup- port in an organization drive to or- ganize these colored workers into the American Federation of Labor. The Central Labor Union Wednes- day elected Bertha Ferguson with fifty-four votes and Mike Mogan with sixty-nine votes as trustees of the Central Labor Union of Minneapolis, against the reactionary business agent of the Typographical Union, Sam Ful- lerton, who only received fifty-three votes. % A resolution came in from the Machinists Union No, 91, requesting a fair trial for Dan W. Stevens. This resolution was referred to the Machin- ists International. The resolutions committee was in- structed to bring in a resolution to the next regular meeting for the repeal of the Minnesota syndicalism law. When this question was brought on the floor, delegate B, Nelson of Car- penters No. 7, stated “This is the question that the Communists have always been bringing to the attention of this assembly and everytime they have done so some of the reaction- aries have shouted ‘Communist pro- paganda,’ Now the Communist are out of the Central Labor Union and you are keeping on doing the very thing that you accused the Commun- ists of doing.” Furriers Get Wage Increase.

HARTFORD, Conn., Feb. 22.—The Connecticut house followed the pro- cedure of the senate in refusing a hearing, limiting discussion, and snowing under the child labor amend- ment by a large vote. The senate had done it by 33 to 1; the house followed suit with 231 to 7. It toow just two hours to do the trick, The republican Journal-Cour- iér of New Haven on Jan, wrote: “No single duty will confront the gen- eral assembly which calls for more careful study and intelligent action than the attempted ratification of the proposed (child labor) amendment to the federal constitution.” ‘Yet the house spent only two hours, and in these two hours not only was the amendment disposed of, but also a mo. tion to refer to a public hearing was argued and voted down. The motion to refer was rejected by an overwhelming aye and nay vote, after the question had taken about 45 minutes. The Amendment Defeated. Discussion began on ratification of the child labor amendment, with Miss Margaret Cheney of Manchester. as the first speaker, making the extended argument in favor of ratification. Ar. guments in favor were the usual ones including the argument that children helping parents on farms were not listed in census as having an occupa- tion. No one however advocated that chib dren of workers and poor farmers at- tending school should be maintained out of money obtained by taxing rich incomes. This is the demand of the Workers (Communist) Party. Extra Nall in Coffin.

The Young Workers’ League of New Haven sent the house @ wire urging ratification, with an economic provis- fon for school children of. workers and poor farmers.
