14 ALL NEWS OF RAILROADS LETTER RECEIVED BY BROTHERHOOD Shea Gives His Views on Local I Shopmen's Organization Movement Brotherhood men have received what they regard as a highly im portant communication from Timo thy Shea, acting president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, which has a direct bearing, they say, on the local shop men's organization. The letter is as follows: "To Officers and Members, AllVj Lodges, Brotherhood of Loco motive Firemen and EnginemenJ Pennsylvania System. "Sirs and Brothers: "It has come to my attention thai copies of a scurrilous letter address ed to myself under date of April Ist by one P. F. Richardson have been sent to our lodges on the Pennsylva nia Railroad. Ordinarily such a com munication would be entitled to but silent contempt. Insofar as it par tains to myself personally 1 shall so treat it and will take cognizance of it only as it relates to the efforts of the said Richardson to divide the strength of shop employes of the Pennsylvania Railroad by seeking to divert their allegiance from those bonafide organizations recognized by the entire labor movement as having proper and legitimate juris diction over shop crafts. "The principal purpose of this communication to you, is to make clear to our members on the Penn sylvania Railroad just what organi zations have jurisdiction in the prem ises and what organizations are en titled to our help in the work of getting the shopmen organized. Vou all recognize the weighty truth of the old saying, "In Unity There Is Strength,' and you all realize that 'united we stand, divided we fall.' There cannot be unity of action and purpose in any craft if that craft is split into dual and rival organiza tions, and particularly when one of those organizations is at variance with the -eKularly organized and rec ognized general labor movement. "One of the contentions of Rich ardson and his lieutenants is that craft organizations are not as effec tive in securing desirable wage and working conditions as are what they term 'industrial' organizations, by which they mean the promiscuous banding together in one body of men of all occupations engaged in any particular industry, which, for in stance, would mean the blacksmiths, carpenters, boilermakers, engineers, firemen, conductors, trainmen, ma chinists, etc., would all be members | of the same organization. Former Failures "That such a system of organiza tion with its diversity of interest is ineffective in protecting the indus trial rights of workers of experience of the past has. time and again, dem onstrated. For instance, the Knights of Eabor —based as it was on this principle—failed, as did also the American Railway Union. I am not in any sense criticising the promot ers of these organizations or ques tioning their motives or sincerity, but simply desire to point to them n* clear demonstrations of the impracti cability of the principle of promiscu ous occupational membership on which they were based. "On the other hand, the success f>t individual craft organization, co-op eration of craft unions under mu tually satisfactory plan of federa tion, has been demonstrated so re peatedly that there is now absolute ly no question as to its being not only the best but really the only system for banding workers together in a way that will insure effective protec tion for their industrial interest. "We have to-day the various rail road craft organizations and organi zations of other railroad employes operating under the guidance of, and affiliated with, the American Federa tion of Eabor, as the Railway Em ployes* Department of that great Federation. Then, co-operating with this great combination of federated shop crafts and other organizations, are our own four great train service Brotherhoods. . "Now. Brothers, in the name of commonsense. to which is it best to entrust the work of completing the organization of the entire transpor tation industry of this continent?— "to this great combination consisting of the American Federation of Labor and the railroad brotherhoods, whose power, influence and success in pro tecting the industrial Interests of their membership have been so clear ly and so often demonstrated, or to this irresponsible, nondescript, itiner ant P. F. Richardson? What pur pose can be served by permitting him to have a personal organization of his own, small though it be, and diverting its membership from the bonaflde organizations to which such membership properly belongs? No purpose can be thus served, broth ers, but the purpose of those inter ests who would feign destroy all la bor organizations. "Bear in mind that Mr. Richard son's tactics are aihied not only at the division of the strength of the shop craft, but are also directed at the train service brotherhoods, for we understand all railroad employes are being urged to join his organi zation, known as the American Fede ration of Railroad Workers, and in fact it is his declared purpose to un dermine the train service brother hoods by seeking to put into effect his shibboleth, 'One railroad—one or organization," which, of course, nec essarily means the abolition of the Brotherhoods and the Railway Em ployes' Department of the American Federation of Labor. Federation's Staiul "During our eight-hour movement the American Federation of Labor stood nobly by us and pledged its full support. This, now, is the great opportunity for us to assist the A. F. of L., while at the same time ren dering the shop employes and our selves a great service. The shop crafts organized as they should be under a bonaflde jurisdiction will prove a tower of strength to us, while unorganized they have ever been a source of weakness—a menace to the train service brotherhoods. "In this connection T wish to be distinctly understood that no agree ment whatever was entered into be tween our order the American Fed eration of Labor to aid them in their organizing campaign. They mere ly notified the executive officers of the train service brotherhoods after Director General of Railroads Mc- Adoo issued Order No. 8 that they were going to inaugurate a campaign on the Pennsylvania Railroad for the purpose of organizing the shop employes in their respective crafts, and requested the co-operation and moral support of the said chief exe cutives in the accomplishment of that most worthy purpose. With this end in view I addressed circular let ter® to all lodges on the Pennsylva nia system under date of February Eth and March 28th, last, calling at tention to this movement and urging our members to assist the work in every way possible. Because of this. WEDNESDAY EVENING/ appeal to our membership, Mr. Rich ardson saw fit to attack me person ally In the communication sent by him to our lodges on the Pennsylva nia Railroad, to which I above re ferred. This is my answer and ad dressed to all lodges and members on the Pennsylvania system. , "That the interference and usur pation of such an irresponsible Inter loper as the said Richardson should be resented by our membership goes without saying. Ho comes as a self constituted leader of this schism of his own creation and has demon strated by the abusive and scurrilojs letter addressed to myself which he has circulated that he hates to hear the truth about himself and his schis matic activities, said letter, from the viewpoint of merii, literally or other wise, being entitled only to classifi cation as the vindictive rantings of a common scold. "As further proof of Mr. Richard sortfs connections with the labor movement I am going to ask your to read a pamphlet is sued i>y the 'Railway Employes' De partment' of the American Federa tion of Labor, entitled 'Facts Worth Knowing"/ beginning on page 17 und continuing through the remainder of the pamphlet. You may obtain copies of ttyls pamphlet from the or ganizers of the Railway Employes' Department who are now stationed at different terminal points on the Pennsylvania system. To Prevent Deception "Please understand that my pur pose in going into this matter as I am dodng is to prevent our members being deceived and to defend the position of our brotherhood against an unjustifiable attack which might be misunderstood by some of our members, unless they were fully ac quainted with the facts bearing thereon. Besides this I am earnestly desirous of preventing honest work ingmen from being misled into an organization whose logical function ing could only mean obstruction of the work of the legitimate labor movement and disaster to them selves. "Remember, brothers, any person who aims a blow at your brother hood directs that blow at your own industrial and economic interests for such blow would seek the undermin ing of the protective and insurance features of your order. Such per son is necessarily an arch enemy of the .great cause of industrial emanci pation and frzedom for which your brotherhood has been so determined ly, o persistently and so effectively lighting. And, of course, in no other way could the purpose of the railway magnates who desire the destruction of not only our organization but &11 organizations and who are eager to prevent effective organization among shop employes be better served.

THERE seems little doubt that a monarchy will be pro claimed in Finland, says a Stockholm dispatch to the Times, and that the German candidate, Duke Adolph Frederick, of Meck lenberg Schwerin, uncle of the crown princess of Germany, will be king. A spirit of reaction has spread throughout the country, it is added, and the Finnish constitu tion, which was the most demo cratic in Europe, is to be remod eled on more or less autocratic lines. for the Pennsylvania railroad em ployes who are at the front.
