ML STRIKE MM BE
his Rumor Heard as New Wage
Cuts Swing Over the Heads
of 350,000 More Workers
By Change of Base Unions Plan
to Evade Damage Penalty
NEW SLASH OF WIDE SCOPE
'raposcd Itwluetion KxiM-ctcd to In-
crtaiHO 1oUil Cut of Workers' WagCH
to $I50,OUO,UUO a Year OlerkM,
OMcth and Others Affected
CHICAGO, June 12. While addl
tional wage cuts swung ovor the
ends of 350.000 more railway em
ployes ana awaitea oniy formal
lenso by the railroad labor board to
slash another $40,000,000 from the
pay rollH of the carriers, it was rumor
cd today that any rail strike giow-
ng out or present threats may be di
reeled and financed from Canada as
means of evading tho recent deci
sion of the United States supreme
court holding unions liable for dam-
ges caused by their members.
Leaders or the rail unions said to
be contemplating the move viewed the
establishment of Canadian headquar
ters aa legitimate in view of condi
tions caused by the supreme court
opinion, because the unions are inter
national organizations. Financial pen-
Hies in ense of a walk-out could thus
be nvert?d, it was said.
The expected new wage reduction
order will increase the total cut from
ra 11 way workers' wages to approxi
mately Sln0.000.000 a year. Clerks,
signal men. stationary firemen, oilers
nnd mnrine department employes will
join the shopmen and maintenance of
way employes ns victims of the slash

CINCINNATI. Juno 12. Facing a
fight that leaders of organized labor
regard aa one for tho very existence of
unionism, the American Federation of
Ijibor here today opened its 4 2d an
nual convention, which was marked by
the preHentntlon of many Issues to be
considered during the next two weeks,
and a speech by President Samuel
Gompers declaring "we do not fool
ourselves Into any fancied scurity."
Tho Issues were brought before the
delegates in a report of the Federa
tion's executive council.
'We are not in a mood," said Mr.
Gompers, "to have .those rights and
privileges guaranteed to us by our
stltutlon taken from us by any subtle
reasoning or assumption of power, no
matter whence It emanates." This
declaration of the veteran labor
leader was greeted by applause, as
was also his statement that organized
labor would ' go onward and forward
more determined than ever that there
shall not be Imposed upon our brow,
upon our bacKs, tne type oc tne 'man
with the hoe."
Welcoming1 Address Given
The speech of Mr. Gompers come af
ter a program of welcoming addresses

tary T. J. Donnelly, of the Ohio Fed
eration, and others. ,
In his brief speech. Mr. Gompers
declared that organized labor only
naked employers to meet with the
union leaders In conference for the
.settlement of disputes, but he said that
a genuine conference was impossible
unless both aides stand on an equal
footing. The "open shop," he added.
Is not the rsult of conferences. Mr.
Gompers concluded with a reference
the disarmament conference, as
serting It made a beginning toward
abolishing war and that labor through
out the world made the greatest con
tribution toward that purpose."

rectliiK Absolnte Separation of ;
tbo Two RaUroada , ''
SAN FRANCISCO. June 12. That
the Southern Pacific and the Central
Pacific railroads have been under com
mon control for half a century ana
that their growth has been the devel
opment of a single railroad system, .
separate In name only, lining a ae
mand which a single company could '
havo not have filled. Is asserted in a '
statement issued today by William '
Aproule. president of the Southern Pa-
clfic company. The statement was is- -
sued In commenting on tne recent
UnitedStates supreme court order di
recting absolute separation ot tne two
railroads. - . i-
Tho Central Pacific haa been .
leased to the Southern Pacific for S7
years," President Sproule aaid. Ho
continued: "The Southern Pacific baa
been the owner of the entire capital
stock of tho reorganized Central Pa
cific for 22 years. The decision of tho
supreme court Is that these facta are
In violation ot tno anerman ci,
though the Sherman act , was .not .
passed until 1890. " . ... .1,
Held In Common Ownership ;
Besides all this, there is sufficient
evidence that the Central Pacific and
the Southern Pacific were held In
common ownership as early aa Octoi
ber, 1870. The official records prove . :
that tho two havo ben under -com
mon control and management xor.eu -t
years, or since July, 1870.. v.-:- .
The growth has been of one sya- '
tern and not of two. The two , com- :.,
panies,. did- what one oompniy coal- .'
not do, under the circumstances of the
time. - Each has been' necessary -to the-"?''
other for effective service. . ;
The suoreme court now decides, in
effect, that the lease of the Central Pa- V
cific to the Southern Pacific became
void when the Sherman act waa
passed, because of the Sunset Route .

Th. Central Paclflo carried the ex

far as Goshen, the Southern Pacific
taking it up there and carrying it
southward and eastward. Everything
that was done had benina ii me o act

of congress, for the development of
tho resources of California, Oregon
and other Pacific states, resource

"Tho interstate commerce commls- :

is that government oontrol of the rail- ,
