Views of Recent Criticism. 1 EditorObserver:-We wish as un ion men to offer the following article in answer to an editorial that appear ed in a receut issue of the La Grandde Morning Star: " )-. To the Editor, of the 'La Grande Morning Star: With all due regard for- your: dcleare- sympathy -for the strikers on the Harriman railroads, we wish to deny; some of your-statements in the Star of Feb. Uth, lust. . First If you are as well Inarmed as you profess to be you should know there was very little agitation: of the labor question before the strike, and that little was- discouraged by all thoughtful union men (Air. Alexander among others taking this stand), and the strike was never agitated by paid officers of the unions, as such a course was unnecessary because every man working iu the shops wanted eondl tlous changed so that whan forced to work only 8 hours a day and 6 days a week all men and crafts would be ac corded:' the ' same ' consideration' and work the same number of hours and days per 'week.. They' wanted, a mil form agreement between all crafts and the company'1 regulating "wages and working conditions, and the shopmen here in La Gfuuue and all over the system took a referendum vote to se cure those conditions even it they had to goon strike to do so; (and, by the way, Mr. Star Editor, the shopmen In La Grande voted 92 per cent for those conditions or- strike (which does not look as. if . they felt that-they must ' support the decision of some vulture I like union' official simply through- a feeling of loyalty to the union, now honest, Mr. Editor, does it? v. ' Second You say, Mr. Editor, that in "the four months previous to the Btrlke there1 were nearly twice as many engine failures as in the same I neriod of time since the strike, which ! is not only false but absurd. . Just re- call the explosion of engine 382, en gine 300 broke axle and threw drivsr out of right of way, other dead ones: 374, 379, 387, 198, 212, 250, and other notable engine failures, besides num erous simple failures; and again you must remember that about 30 days prior to the strike the company put into service and have been using ever since on this division about 20 new engines. Another thing, before , the strike the shops were working short handed, 8 hours a day and 6 days k week, whereas, according to the re peated statements of the company of ficials since the strike they have a full shop' force and are working 9 hours a day and 6 days a week. ' You also make the statement, Mr. Star Editor, that you had printed our I reports for 30 days after the strike, and this we deny and challenge you to produce even 15 copies of your pa per' with reports from the shopmen's federation. 1 - -7 ' We also deny the statement that at least 50 children in La Grande are go ing hungry and insufficiently clad on account of this strike we have in vestigated and found that you are barking up the wrong tree. We wish also to say that Mr. Alexander has not and will not receive one cent of salary from this federation or any union for his services during this strike. W. D. DELMORE, !
