"outlawing" the railroad unions now

Gnmpem. president of the American
Federation of Labor, in a. state
ment issued tonight, as "utterly bol

tempt by the hoard t.i disband
unions at will." The ml ne. Mr.
Gonipers added, was palpably "too
ridiculous and fatuous to be ac
cepted aa permanent American gov
ernment policy."
"The action of the board." Mr.
Gonipers' statement continued, "is
exactly a replica of the action of
the communists in turning the un
ions into government controlled 1
agencies for the carrying out of the I
orders of the state. Freedom of
expression vanishes under the order
of the board.
"Hut I say now that the workers
of America, either on the railroads

that unions which differ wiih the

Autocracy."
"The board now declares them
'outlawed.' This is autocracy with
a vengeance. It seeks to put the
whole force of government back of
the movement to kill the spirit and
the fact of collective bargaining, of
joint negotiation and agreement by
the voluntary coming together of
workers and employes It is the
calamitous outgrowth of a mistaken
