F This action was taken by the cen- tral organization of the American Fed- ! eration of Labor at the request of the Order of Railway Telegraphers, and is due to the fact that the Santa Fe sys- | | tem has never recognized the. teleg- raphers’ organization since the strike | on that system some years ago, which the telegraphers lost. The Order of | Railway Telegraphers\ is connected with the American Federation of La- | bor, and it is now announced that im- | mediately after the first of the year the | general organization will declare a boy- cott upon the big railway system and will prohibit its members from patron- | izing it in any way. Whether this move will be extend- ed any further is a question, but at present the opposition to the Santa Fe | system will be manifested by a passive ott, and the road will be declared | “unfair” by the American Federation of Labor. 2 REFUSED RECOGNITION. Ever since the telegraphers lost their strike on the Santa Fe system some vears ago they have been waiting for an opportunity to rcover their lost ground upon this big system. Several | efforts have been made to get Pres-| | ident Ripley of the Santa Fe to recog- nize the Order of Railw Telegra- phers, but without avail. He has al- | ways said that he would have nothing more to do with them, and all over-| | tures by the men have been rejected. The matter came up at the last na- | tional meeting of the Order of Railway Telegraphers in St. Louls and it was a matter that caused a great deal of {debate. There were ten delegates present from the Pacific Coast, headed by W. B. Davidson, general chairman of the Solithern Pacific Division of the | Order of Railway Telegraphers. | As Mr. Davidson represents a road | that is thoroughly organized in the in- | terests of his order—more than 90 per cent of the dispatchers and operators | between Pertland, San Francisco, Og- den and New Orleans being members | of that organization—ii was natural | thal he, with the other coast delegates, | should take a great deal of interest in | the matter of adding the Santa Fe sys- | tem to the organized roads. How to | accomplish this was the work to which | the coast delegation addressed itself { most arduously. Coast Organizer Da- vidson was in favor of first organizing | such the Santa Fe system quietly and then | applying for recognition from Presi- dent Ripley, but Grand President Per- ham of the Order of Railway Telegra- | phers was in favor of placing the road upon the “‘unfair” list of his order and the American Federation of Labor. | This latter method has been adopted. TELEGRAPHERS TROUBLED. | The unorganized condition of the | Santa Fe system has always been a source of troubje to the telegraphers on | the lines of the Southern Pacific Com- | pany. When the general grievance | committee, headed by W. E. Davidson, | demanded an increase aggregating | $100,000 a year from the Southern Pa- cific Company early in the present | year, it was met wit. the statement | that the Santa Fe system was in direct competition with the Southern Pacific Company, and yet the Southern Pacific Company was paying its telegraphers as high as one-third more than the line with which it was competing. Several | cases were cited, particularly that of | Bakersfield, which each road touches in direct competition, where the Southern Pacific Company pays $77 50 a month | to telegraphers, whereas men that are performing the same work for the Santa Fe receive but $35. But despite this and other arguments Mr. Davidson succeeded in having $100,000 distributed annually over the Southern Pacific system. This new move upon the Santa Fe has come from the Ec-t, and the coast representatives of the order knew noth- ing of it until the official announcement reached them. ‘When W. BE. Davidson was asked if he knew anything about the determina- tion of the American Federation of Labor to declare the Santa Fe system unfair, he said: “I only know that it has been decided to declare that road unfair in Jan- uary. Beyond that I have nothing to say.” ¢ C ————————— CONTRIBUTORS WILL SAY WHERE FUND SHALL GO Roosevelt Reception Committee Fin- ally Decides on Plan for Dis- pensing Its Surplus Moneys. The Roosevelt reception committee Held*a meeting yesterday afternoon and decided to get the judgment of contributors to the fund regarding the disposition of the surplus. No objection was made to the plan of sending out postal cards, so that each contributor might express his views on the proposition. In round numbers 10 per cent of the amount collected is unexpended, hence any one that donated $10, for example, will get back $1 if he signi- | fies desire for reimbursement. It is understood that Golden Gate Park is to be the beneficiary of the surplus. —_——— Reduced rates on household goods to & from + the East & South.

CALL BUREAU, 1408 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.—Bamuel Gompers, president of the American Federatlon of Labor, in an editorial in the American Federntr‘nlst, Just pub- lished, strongly advisés union labor to resist employers’ assoclations and all efforts at wage reductions and at the same time urges employers not to at- tempt to force the issue. The import- RESIST {ance of this utterance at this time lles in the fact that it comes just after Gompers’ trip to New York, taken with the view to terminating the olerable labor troubles of that city. Gumpers says: “We have urged and still urge em- ployers to pursue a more enlightened course to aveid cutting wages. We have advised and shall eontinue to ad- vise our fellow workmen to resist re- ductions 'in wages by every lawful means within their power, for, as we have said before, ‘it is better to resist| and lose than not to resist at all.’ “Let workmen complacently accept reductions in their wages and it will be an invitation to repeat reduction at will, intensifying depression and pro- voking an industrial crisis: forcing down workers in the economic and so- cial scale and bringing on fearful pov- erty, misery and degradation. Resist- ance on the part of labor to reduction of wages will check this to a great de- gree and at least demonstrate to ignor- ant and shortsighted employers that course is exceedingly expensive to them and will prevent its repetition. “Then, in the interest of workers, in the interests of all our peopie. we urge | employers generally not to force the issue by attempting to reduce wages. To our fellow workers we say, organ-| ize, unite and federate and prepare to resist to the uttermost any attempt to invade our rights and take from us the means by which we sustain our- selves and the dear ones dependent upon us.” — e Fisk Jubilee Singers. The fourth number of the Young Men's Christian Association star course of entertainments will place next Friday evening, January 1. The Fisk jubilee singers (colored) will appear. This company enjoys an en- viable reputafion and was organized October 6, 1871, at Fisk University. These are the “original Fisk jubilee singers.” Their music is in class by itself and is as unique as it is meri- torious. It appeals as no other music can dnd the company meets with pro- nounced success wherever it appears. —_—— The wholesale grocers of this city have decided to close their places of business on next Thursday and keep them closed until Monday a | morning.
