(Written for the Republican National
Committee.)
New York, Oct. 21. (United Press)
Flat rejection of the Adamson bill
is being seriously considered by the
railway switchmen in the Chicago
yards. These men now have a 10-hour
day, but a provision of their contract
regarding the lunch hour results in
their genarally being paid for 11
hours. The railways are discussing
the advisability of installing three
8-hour shifts. This would take, gen
erally speaking, three hours off of tho
men s day and they seriously object
to such a curtailment of their income,
especially with the cost of living in
creasing by le'.ps and bounds.
Switching foremen gets 40-cents an
hour. Theoretically they have a 10
hour day, but as has been said, in
practice they are usually paid for 11
hours work, and make $4.40 a day.
Under the three 8-hour shift system,
they will get only $3.20 a day, and the
difference makes a pretty serious hole
in a mnn's income, especially if he has
a family to support.
Consequently the switchmen, who
all along were willing to submit their
demand for increased wages to ar
bitration, seriously contemplate flat
rejection of the Adamson bill on tho
ground that it is inimical, instead of
helpful, to labor. There is, of course,
some question as to whether, Con
gress having given statutory force to
the Adamson till with its so-called
8-hour provision, the switchmen can
reject its provisions and procure ar
bitration of their demand for in
creased wages, and that question is
now being investigated by their
leaders.
More and more are railway men
coming to wonder if President Wilson
did not hand them a gold brick in his
uncontrollable desire to gain the labor
vote and promote his political for
tuness by butting in to the contro
versy between the railways and their
employes, or at least the 20 per cent
of them who are members of the four
brotherhoods.

Written For The Democratic National
Committee.
New York, Oct. 21. (United Press)
tin this election nothing is so much
at stake as the honor and self-respect
of the men and women who made up
the Progressive party. They banded
in the name of humanity, raised the
standard of social justice, and vowed
their lives to the defeat of the sin
ister, figures in control of the Repub
lican party.
What is the situation today?
Roosevelt hobnobs with Taft and
Root and Cannon, and Perkins, Rob
bins and Everett Colby sit in coun
cils with Penrose, Crane and Hitch
cock. Behind Hughes is Wall street,
the German-American Alliance, child
labor exploiters, reactionary 'em
ployers and every Tory influence that
hopes to restore the days of Hanna
ism. Search through the Republican
platform, line for line, And not a
single reference to Social Justice will
be found. Read the speeches of
Hughes and it will be seen that it is
the humane legislation of President
Wilson that he attacks most bitterly.
Watch Hughes as he journeys from
s.tate to state. In not one has he fail
ed to consort exclusively with the
tosses and reactionaries against
whom the Progressives fought in 1912,
even going so far as to ignore Hiram
Johnson in California on the eve of
an election. In his repeated declar
ation, "I desire a reunited party" he
betrays utter inability to grasp Pro
gressivism as a spiritual revolt,
viewing it as nothing more than the
expression of disgruntled factional
ism. The Progressive who goes back to
the Republican party must crawl on
his knees. He must recant his "luna
tic heresies." He must swallow his
condemnation of Cannon, Root, Hem-
enway, Crane and Penrose, and ac
claim them wise, good and all- power
ful. In plain words, he must confess
that he lied in 1912; in plainer action
ho must admit that he is not a free
American citizen, but achattel to be
bound and delivered whenever Theo
dore Roosevelt finds a price that suits.
