NOT A MATTER OF CHOICE
Faithful Employee Hav Both Legal
and Moral Rights to Seniority
and Other Benefit.
New York. Th keynote of the
reply made by railway executive
representing more tban ISO Class 1
railroads of the Cnited States to the
proposition of President Harding that
"All striker be returned to their work
and their former positions, with sen
iority and other rights unimpaired,"'
lie in the last paragraph of their
reply to the president, as follow:
It Is submitted that the strikint
former employee cannot be gnvt-n
fu-eferciwe to employee at present
n the service without doing vio
lence to every principle of right
and Justice Involved In this matter
and without the trossest breach of
faith on the part of the railroads to
the men at present In their service.
Tnder these circumstances, it
becomes apparent that the rail
roads cannot consider any settle
ment of the present strike which
does not provide protection In their
iresent employment both to the
oval employees who remained in
the service and to the new em
ployees entering- It."
The executives had accepted the
first two conditions proposed by the
president, namely, that both employ
er and employees accept the deci
sions of the labor board, and that ali
law suits growing out of the strikt
be withdrawn; and Id relation to U,t
third condition state, not only as
above, but also as follows:
Agree With the President
"The railroad executives and man
agers agree entirely with the pr;
dent's statement tn his letter that
is wholly unthinkable that the ra
road labor board can be niaie a u
ful agency of the government in m
taining industrial peace in th-- .
way service -mess employers
workers are both prompt and ulc;
tioning in their acceptance of 1
decisions.
"Many men in the service refus
to join the strike and in so do .
were assured of the seniority righ
accruing to them and of the perma.
ence of their positions. On some 1l
portant lines 50 per cent or m ire rt
fused to join the strike. To these ol
loyal employees have been aide
thousands of new men who were en
ployed and could be secured only u
on a definite promise that their sir
ices would be retained, regards i
the settlement of the strike, with a
the rights appertaining to such e'
ployment, including that of seniorii
under the working rules and reguia
tions previously approved by the rail
road labor board.
"Just the Opposite Effect"
"We especially point out that a re
fusal to the old men who remained
in the service and to the new men wh
accepted service of the rights of sen
iority incident to their employment
would have just the opposite effect
to that desired by the president, and
would most seriously discredit the
labor board.
"The board itself prescribed the
rules of seniority under which the
man referred to have secured
their seniority rights, and the rail
road companies have neither the legal
nor moral right to deprive these men
of those rights. By public utterances
since the strike began the board has
recognized and emphasized these
rights, and to deny them now would,
instead of upholding the authority of
the labor board, overthrow its rules
and discredit Its authority. The chair
man of the labor board at the time
the strike was called made the fol
lowing public statement:
" t'pon one question the striking
employees should not be deceived!
Their leader has said that the
strikers are no longer employees
of the railways, and they have thus
automatically abandoned all the
rights they possess under their
agieemems and under the decisions
of the board. Including their sen
iority. This Is not the board's ac
tion. It is their own. Many car
riers are giving their former em
ployees the opportunity to re-enter
the sarvice within a limited time
It must be understood now that
men who remained In the service
and those who are now entering it
will have rights of seniority that
the board could not Ignore '
What the Proposed Plan Means.
"It must be understood that an)
proposal that employees now on strike
shall be permitted to return to the
service without impairment to their
seniority, is merely another way of
suggesting that those men who took
employment in this crisis in good
faith, relying on the promises of the
railroads to protect them in their
positions, these promises being justi
fied by the authoritative utterances
of the labor board, and thus have
made possible the continued operatlor.
of the railroads, shall now be sacri
ficed in favor of men now on strike,
who not only brought about the crisis,
but by their own action and declara
tion, are no longer employees of the
railways, under the jurisdiction of the
United State Railroad Labor Board,
or subject to the application of the
transportation act.
"In addition to the necessity of up
holding the labor board and maintain
ing the pledges made by the railroads
to the men now at work, there f the
practical effect on the superviaory of
ficer of a violation of the pledges
they were authorized to make. Their
discouragement and demoralization
would be far more disastrous than this
or any other strike."
CHECKING IP,
A negro boy walked Into a drug store
and asked permission to use the tele
phone. Then th following conversation
took place:
"Is that you Mistah Jones?"
"Yes," apparently was th reply.
"Well, Mi tah Jones, I saw your ad in
de paper the other day and yo wanted a
cullud boy. Did you get one?"
"Yes," seemed to b th answer again.
"Well, Mistah Jones, is h givin per
fect satisfaction?"
The reply named still to be affirma
tive. "Well, Mistah Jones, providen dis cul
lud boy dont give perfect satisfaction

Th boy turned and started out, and

they did not even look in pre-war days.
It is interesting to note the chances in
the villagers. Formerly they nearly ait
walked to Jerusalem, even from a dis
tance that took them four or five hours.
Now public automobiles run out into the
country for ten miles and have largely
monopolized transportation. Wages for
skilled and unskilled labor have risen
several hundred per cent and good me
chanics now demand $o per day. The
hour of labor used to be from sunrise
to sunset but by the organisation of
labor unions, they now have in Jaffa an
eight-hour day.
Ruaaiaa Reds Isaac Bread Loaa Cer
tificate. The Berlin correspondent of the Lon
don Daily Mail reports that the Bolshe
viki are floating an internal loan of so
fantastic a character that if it were, not
vouched for on the authority of the
Communist paper "Bote Fahne," on
would think the tale invented by their
enemies. The loan is called a "bread
loan" and certificates and shares are
made out in pools of rye instead of in
rubles. A subscriber of 000,000 rubles,
or, in the new monetary system arrived
at by cutting off noughts, 400 rubles) no
exchange value) the present price of a
pood of rye (thirty-six pounds) receives
a certificate entitling him to receive full
value in rye at th end of the year. This
is a powerful appeal to speculators.
They know the ruble falls consistently
and are certain that rye will be consid
erably dearer in a year. The Moscow
government guarantees the loan by a
special corn fund created for the pur
pose and by a reserve of 10,000,000 gold
rubles.
Philippine Coal Offered.
It is reported that General Logan,
agent at Manilla for the United States
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce, has cabled to Secretary of Com
merce Hoover offering Philippine semi
anthricite coal to assist in meeting the
coal and railroad emergency in the Uni
ted States. General Logan suggested
that if a handling and shipping organi
sation were perfected in the Philippines,

Note of Cheer from Germany.
The report last month that a printers'
strike was :n progress in Berlin was th
signal for much sarcastic comment on
the part of paracraphera. Th New York
Tribune commented as follows: "Our
next ray of sunshine comes from Berlin,
where the printers have struck and the
billions have ceased to flow. In the last
week in June, the increase in paper cur
rency was just 11,250.000,000 marks. This
is fur ahead of anything that the wildest
greenback prophet ever dreamed of as
these time excel the Dark Ages. Th
situation is such as would please the
nio't fertile brained cartoonist but it
has actually happened. The German,
who are an active and laborious people,
now depend on the printing press to
turn off morning and afternoon editions
of the national wealth and no doubt call
sometimes for extras. 'Making money'
is the literal word for what is taking
place in Berlin and when their secretary
of the treasury needs a few billions, he
doesn't go through the tiresome formal
ities of the old regime. He simply writes
what he wants, marks the stuff 'Proofs
! to th Reichbank at one o'clock sharp,'
sends It up th tub and in a short time
Germany has some more billions ready.
Th French, who have less sense of hu
mor than the Germans, do not like this
at all, for they pretend that it is simply
a game on Germany a part It is strange
that an art-loving people like th French
do not recognii th admirable work in
these German banknote, but then to be
really humorous requires a philosophic
sense.
