Show COMMUNICATION Editor Standard: I find the following follow-ing item in your issue of today: SALT LAKE, Jan. 24. Resolutions favoring the antl-strlko legislation in the Cummins railroad bill now before 1 congress were adopted here by the j Utah Manufacturers' association. Af- ter passage of the resolution telegrams were dispatched to Utah senators and congressmen to support the anti-strike i provisions of the measure- Approximately Approxi-mately two hundred business firms are represented in the association. 1 On behalf of the tens of thousands I of workmen of our stale who are NOT I in favor of the anti-strike clause of .the Cummins railroad measure now be-I be-I fore congress, I want to register a protest pro-test against tho action of the Utah Manufacturers' association. There may be, as stated, two hundred business busi-ness firms represented in the association, associa-tion, but there's a hundred thousand workmen represented on tho other side, and these hundred thousand are constantly being urged to support "home institutions." The "Manufacturers' "Manufac-turers' association" surely knows or ought to know that they are bucking the very element that supports their factories. While tho great mass of the rank au.i file of labor in the United States does not for a moment believe this anti-strike agitation will ever become a law, they are nevertheless interested in knowing who are their friends and who support the reactionary and repressive re-pressive measures now causing so much turmoil. Yours truly, J. B. ELLISTON. oo |
