ports of the conferences Held In An
chor age.
These documents showed that Gen
era] Manager Smith had violated
rules 22 and 25 of article 3 governing
terms of employment of brotherhood
members. Rule 22 provides that
where an employe is assigned to oth
er dotes in tire service by the com
pany or his organizaton his seniority
rights shall be impaired. Rule 25
stipulates that no employe * shall be |
suspended or discharged, without a|
lull investigation.
The facts were presented to Secre-1
tary Work on Wednesday, November
16, during a conference that lasted i
most of the day He assigned As
sistant Secretaries Edward C. Finney
and John IT. Edwards to hear the evi
dence and make recommendations J

conducted for the employes by Vice
presidents Reynolds of the Conduct
ors and Lewis of the Firemen. Vice-'
presidents and national legislative '
representatives of the four brother
hoods resident in Washington were
present to give assistance. They
were William M. Clark, Conductors;
Arthur J. Lovell, Firemen; G. W.
Laughlin, Engineers; and W. N.
Dohk, Trainmen
J. .T. C. Moore, discharged general
chairman of the Conductors, came

from Alaska arriving on November

, The hearing had gotten only fairly |
! under way when adjournment was |
| taken at 12:30 for luncheon. The j
action of General Manager Smith in ;
! summarily discharging the three men
; had been punctured at every turn
, during the morning session. So had
the conduct of Chief Inspector J. F.
Gartland, who filed the charges and
recommended the dismissals. Gart
land admitted that he knew nothing
of railroading or the application of
working rules.
Issues Order of Reinstatement
When the afternoon session was
about to resume at 2 o’clock, Judges
Finney and Edwards announced that
they had heard sufficient testimony
and were prepared to make their re
commendation to Secretary Work^
All parties then proceeded to the
Secretary’s office -where he signed an
order directing the immediate rein
statement of the three general chair,
men.
There are about 30 other com
plaints of violation of rules which
Manager Smith has refused to adjust.
The Secretary instructed him to take
up these matters with representa
tives of the employes in Washington
and settle all disputes as promptly
! as possible. These proceedings are
I now under way.
An Object Lesson in Unionism
These men were employed in an
isolated region, thousands of miles
from headquarters of their respective
organizations. Two grand division
officers were sent to Alaska to nego
tiate with the management, and when
this failed, brought the grievances to
Washington, and prosecuted the case
with such vigor and efficiency that
complete and satisfactory adjust
ment was obtained.
Without the force and influence of
the organizations behind them, with
out competent representatives to pre
sent their cause, these three railroad
j employes not only would have been!
i kept off their jobs, but Jill railroad
workers in Aalaska would have been
at the mercy of any railroad official
who might see fit to ignore their
rights.
Alaska Boys Jubilant
When the “boys” in Alaska receiv
ed telegrams telling of Secretary
Work’s decision they were jubilant.
A wire addressed to Vice-presidents
Reynolds and Lewis, Labor Building,
10 B street, Southwest, Washington,
D. C., read:
“It is beyond words to express our
sincere appreciation and thankfulness
for service rendered us. We voice
sentiment of brotherhood men on the
Alaska Railroad, also business people
of Anchorage This should be an ex
ample to entire membership and in
pire in them love and respect for our
respective organizations and loyal
officers.”
(Signed) Knight and Balhiser.
- Another message came from the
workers at Curry, a division point on
the Alaska Railroad, saying: “Your
wire received today. Congratulations.
Your successful efforts highly appre
ciated.”
