of the strike is unionism, the railroads trying to break the
power of the unions, and the unions seeking its preservation.
The public is as usual the chief sufferer in this test of power.
The strike is contrary to the provisions of the 1920 trans
portation act, which created a railroad labor board but gave
it no power to enforce its decisions. The railroads have
openly flouted the law which recognized the principle of
collective bargaining. The Pennsylvania, the Atlantic,
Birmingham & Atlantic and other systems have defied it,
and now the brotherhoods are following their example;
Neither side has clean hands.
The railroads seek the destruction of unionism. The

To the Editor:
I am furnishing my own ink and
paper and my work is gratis, but
of course the Journal man is more
exacting, he charges his readers
the magnificent sum of one cent

of the most extreme noor house

As I sometimes stand on the
street corner of Commercial and
State streets In Salem and see
those large Imposing bank build
ings, I wonder, when I see so many
people going in and out, some
with a rush, others old and bent
gray from years, having probably
their savings of a lifetime in trust
therein, whether they realize the
enormous lot of clerical work that
is being done by the bank of their
choice for gratis.

To the Editor: Let me please
express my opinion on the next
railroad workmen's strike. I am
like that gentleman (C. A. Phil
lips, 3rd Telg. S. P. Co., Salem,
Or.j that his latter you published
in your Capital Journal of Tues
day, October 118, 1921.
I never worked one single day
on or about a railroad, but 14
years ln coal mines, and two years
ln brick yards and other indus
tries. Besides, I always observed
happenings in and about what
concerned labor men, helped ln or
gantzlng unions from 1891 until
1904, when I found that there is
nothing but misery for daily labor
and I started farming. I am farm
ing yet. Living ln Salem vicinity
sine 1904, when i left Illinois
where I worked for 17 years long,
saved $1400 ln all. They know
we well there, as well as around
Salem. Shaniko, therefore they
know that I was working bard
and saved equally as hard. Well
how much your railroad operators
earned? You say that they invest
ed their money in it. Yes, we
know that, and that they watered
their capital we know too. That
they are pilling up millions of dol
lars we know too, yet they are get
ting all kinds of help .from gov
ernment, states, country, cftiee
and Individuals, etc., in taxes and
otherwise. How many of them
are living on $4 $1500 per year?
They want us poor devils to raise
lots of children, to have more
slaves, but they themselves have
none, or one or two. They spend
their money at Monte Carlo, etc
vacation every day, and some of
them have more income in one
minute than the best paid union
man in a wUBle month. I don't
think that you are getting paid
for denouncing workers, like oth
ers are, but some sore spot must
be in your heart where from your
statement came. Next proposed
cut in wages and then another
which cost this coming strike, not
the 15th of July past.
I am living in the United States
since 1888 and citizen since 1894,
and I must say that there are more
kickers in United States than In
other countries and that Is the
reason that we here are ahead of
other nations. Wasn't G. Washing
ton and others like him kickers? I
am bad writer, speller, for punc
tuation, etc., but feel hleh for on-
pressing down again workers and
justice, for I have never seen one
worker accumulate millions of
dollars oft his honest work.' We
can't be all bad spendthrifts, and
we don't spend millions for dog
and cat weddings, etc., either. Nor
do we pay much for bathing in
pond of wine, nor do we support
grafters, buy our officers, law
makers, etc. Man steals a loaf of
bread is put in jail, but the one
who steals railroad, etc., is called
gentleman. This is ferkierte
justice, and then we are wonder
ing where from all this nihilist,
anarchists, and late slide down
on bolshevists. are coming from.
Well" I gess we are making them
right here. Don't you think so?
