Men Who Are Building a Greater Savannah
American labor is the best in the
world. It is the best paiu.and pre
eminently the most Intelligent.
During the past decade the labor
movement has made rapid strides for
ward. Considerable wise legislation
has already been enacted regulating
the sanitary conditions in factories,
child labor, piece-work, compulsory
education, etc. -There, can oe no ques
tion but that organization, properly
regulated, is the only safeguard of the
wealth producers of the republic.
There is no city in the country
where more cordial and fraternal re
lations exist, as a rule, between em
ployer and employee than here in Sa
vannah. This can largely be attribut
ed to the fact that there are a large
numbex' of concerns in the city which
show a disposition to be fair and rea
sonable at all times. Tnese concerns
should at all times receive viie support
and patronage of intelligent working
men.

HON. C. G. EDWARDS.
Member of Congress.
Organized labor is not a political
party and never enters a political
arena as such. As an organization
it is strictly non-partisan, its creed
being simply that formulated by
President Samuel Gompers: “We will
administer a stinging rebuke to per
sons or parties that are either indif
ferent or hostile in their attitude to
ward labor.”
Organized labor is determined, how
ever, to throw its united strength in
favor of men who will treat the cause
of labor with absolute fairness and
consideration, regardless of party af
filiations. There are a number of
able statesmen in Georgia. There is
not one, however, who stands highei'
in the confidence of the people than
does Hon. C. G. Edwards, our able
and efficient representative in Con
gress. As a natural-born leader, he
is peculiarly well-qualified for any
position within the gift of the people.
Hon. 0. G. Edwards is a sound
reasoner, and a forceful speaker. As
a representative of the people, he has
always been just and honorable and
proved beyond question that he had
the courage of his convictions. In
his work as member of Congress he
has always had the hearty good will
of the forces of labor by whom he is
held in the highest esteem and con
fidence.
In calling attention to the leading
men of Savannah who can be counted
on to do their full share in the future
growth and uplift of the city, and
State, the name of Hon. C. G. Edwards
is worthy of a foremost position on
the list.
Congressman Edwards is, without
question, a representative of the plain
people. He believes in meting out
justice to all the people and not mere
ly to the few powerful interests that
have been known to wield a mighty
influence for their own interests in
the past.
A staff representative of the Labor
Herald interviewed a number of the
recognized leaders of the Georgia
State Fed-ration of Labor and in re
ply to the question, “What should
labor’s official organ say about Con
gressman Edwards?” received sub
stantially the same reply in each
instance, namely, “You cannot put
it on too strong to suit organized
labor. He is one of the best friends
we have in the State.” Enough said.
HON. J. RANDOLPH ANDERSON
State Representative.
Deeds speak louder than words. Es
pecially in public life, a man must be
estimated chiefly by his acts. This is
forcefully illustrated by the splendid
career of Hon. J. Randolph Anderson,
our worthy member of the State Legis
lature. His entire record proves him
to be a real man of the people, a sin
cere, conscientious representative who
has the courage of his convictions
and is honest to the core. In the ses
sion of 1906, he championed the pas
sage of the Child Labor law and
thereby ingratiated himself into the
hearty esteem and confidence of every
wage earner in Georgia. In the ses
sions of 1905-6, he ably assisted in the
passage of the law creating Agricul
tural and Industrial schools. In the
session of 1909, he put forth Herculean
energy in support of the Employers’
Liability law. In the same session,
he introduced and secured the passage
of the law providing additional rev
-nue for Agricultural and Industrial
-chools. It was also J. Randolph
Anderson who introduced two bills
that are still pending, one to enlarge
ind extend the scope of the Child
Labor law and one to create a Bureau
• t Labor for the State of Georgia.
Such in brief is a bare record of the
achievements of J. Randolph Ander
on, accomplished u> selfishly in be
nalf of humanity,and furnishes akey to
the character of the man himself. 1
is needless to say that the conscien
tious efforts exhibited by J. Randolph
Anderson have not passed unnoticed
by the forces of labor in Georgia
Although his legal services have been
much in demand by corporate inter
ests, yet he has never in all his career
as a lawyer or legislator, swerved one
iota from the straight path of right
and justice. He is, therefore, justly
regarded by the hosts of labor as a
conscientious leader and a man of the
highest personal character.
AN APPRECIATION.
Hon. Robert L. Colding, Leading
Lawyer, Prominent Citizen and
Consistent Friend of Labor.
In all the contests that organized
labor have had in our city without
exception Mr. Colding’s professional
services have been sought by the
Union men, feeling assured that in
him they had a genuine and consist
ent friend.
On April 20th, 1905, Mr. Colding
appeared as the spokesmen for every
branch of organized labor connected
with the railroads in Georgia who
had oaganized to fight a matter then
under consideration before the Rail
road Commission, that was of vital
interest lo the labor organizations.
The contest was successful and Mr.
Colding is in possession of a very
handsome Masonic badge presented
him by the commitees of the various
organizations who appeared before
the Commission in company with
him.
It is one of the cardinal principles
of organized labor to give credit to
whom credit is due. It is also our fixed
policy to support and encourage to
the fullest extent, the leading repre
sentatives of the bench and bar, who
by able and efficient service, espec
ially merit the esteem and confidence
of the public. In calling particular
attention to the different men in the
legal profession who have more than
made good, we do not hesitate to set
the seal of our approval upon the
splendid record of Hon. Robert L.
Colding. The forces of labor have
followed his career with more than
passing interest, recognizing in him a
consistent friend es the working peo
ple in every emergency that has
arisen.
He is a lawyer of splendid ability
and integrity and a gentleman of high
personal character. Thoroughly
versed in the law, a profound thinker
and a forceful speaker, it is safe to
state there is no attorney in this sec
tion who numbers a larger following
of friends and admirers among the
working people. We feel that he re
flects special honor and credit upon
the legal profession and should re
ceive the hearty approbation of all
good citizens. W e are pleased to ex
tend to Hon. Robert L. Colding hearty
assurances of tbe continued esteem
and confidence of organized labor.

with splendid ability is a recognized
fact.
As a leader at the bar, Mr. Myrick
occupies a prominent position, Among
other large interests he represents as
Division Counsel the Atlantic Coast
Line and in this respect it is only fail
to state that in his legal connection
with corporate interests as well as
others, he is regarded by the people
as eminently fair and upright, and his
record is as clean as a hound’s tooth.
Hon. Shelby Myrick is a lawyer of
learning, ability and proven integrity.
Consequently he commands the utmost
respect and confidence of the forces of
labor in this city. He is at present a
Colonel on Governor Brown’s staff
and we have no hesitancy in placing
his name foremost among the success
ful leaders in the public life of this
city.
HON. H. D. D. TWIGGS
Well versed in the law, and con
scientious in his work, Hon. H. D. D.
Twiggs, attorney at law, occupies a
foremost position in the legal profes
sion of Savannah. We predict that
he will always occupy a position of
leadership among the foremost mem
bers of the bench and bar of the city
and state.
Hon. H. D. D. Twiggs is an able
lawyer, the sort of man in whom the
public repose the utmost trust and
confidence. He has always shown
himself to be strtctly fair and honor
abe and has made a host of friends
among the wage-earnersof Savannah
We are pleaded to extend to Hon. H.
D. D Twiggs the greetings of organ
ized labor.
HON. R. FALLIGANT
Hon. R. Falligant is justly re
garded by the working people as well
as by all other classes of society as
one of tbe exceptionally talented and
rising attorneys of this ci.v- Raiford
Falligant comes of a distinguished
ancestry The name Falligant is
closely associated with the splendid
achievements of this city from its
lilt LABUH tIEWALD;

held in the highest respect and con
fidence by every loyal citizen of this
city, including especially the hosts of
wage earners. Raiford Falligant has
entered actively upon a successful
career as a legal practicioner, and bls

graced by a number of conspicuously
able and honorable leaders who are
in the van of civic progress, Hon. J.
Ferris Cann may be cited as one of
the ablest of them all. He is a law
yer of marked ability and a citizen of
sterling integrity. Above all, he is
sincere and conscientious in all his
work, as a lawyer and leader in pub
lic life. His splendid attainments
have been directed in right channels
and he therefore commands respect,
confidence and admiration. He is a
self made man and it is not surprising
therefore that he has been eminently
successful in all that he has under
ta: ...
HON. WALTER G. CHARLTON.
Judge Superior Court.
There is no class of citizens who
have a greater respect for the judici
ary than the forces of labor. We are
especially pleased to call attention at
this time to Hon. Walter G. Charlton,
a man who has from the outset prov
en an ideal superior judge and one
who by just rulings and unbiased con
duct of his high position has gained
the confidence of all classes of citi
zens to a marked degree. The cause
of labor has nothing to fear at the
hands of judges of the type of Judge
Charlton. He is an able jurist, and a
man of high personal character.

tha administration of Hon. W. W.

mendable public utility concern em
ploying labor on a large scale. We
are pleased to call attention to a most
puaisworthy example of such a public
service enterprise we have in our
midst, mamely, The Savannah Gas Co.
It would be difficult to overestimate
the importance of this splendid con
cern in promoting the prestige and
prominence of Savannah as a thriv
ing Southern metropolis. It is indeed
an essential factor in the make-up of
our city and there is no class of citi
zens more directly benefitted by it
that labor. As one of the largest em
ployers in the city, the management
is fair and reasonable and worthy of
our hearty eeteem and confidence.
The Savannah Gas Company is re
garded as one of the most broad
minded and public spirited employers
of labor in the entire State. There is
nothing small in its entire make-up.
They believe in good service and also
in fair wages and tbe best possible
treatment. In the conduct of their
immense system, the same considerate
policy that has always marked the
career of the Savannah Gas Company
in their relations with tne public is
constantly pursued and everywhere
plainly in evidence.
The thousands of members of or
ganized labor throughout the city
and country may rest assured that
this company is held in the highest
respeet and confidence here at home
by the host of wage earners with
whom the company com s constantly
in contact, and by whom the manage
ment is best known.
, The s gas service gendered by the
Savannah Gas Co. will compare fa
vorably with any in tbe entire coun
try. There is a disposition on the
part of the public in all parts of
the country to direct constant and
harsh criticism against public utility
concerns of whatever naiure. We are
pleased to state that sucn criticism
does notaply to the Savannah Gas Co.
and that the management is engaged
in an effort to give the people the best
possible services to be had.
A feature of the business of this
company is their gas stoves. They
have put forth great efforts to educate
the public to see the manifold advan
tages from every standpoint of cook
ing with gas. To the frugal house
wife who pays attention to such details
as economy and cleanliness, the gas
stove is always preferable to all
others.
JOHN ROURKE & SONS.
One of the best known industrial
plants in this section of the country
is that of John Rourke & Sons, who
conduct the leading foundry and
machine shop, blacksmith shop and
boiler works of Savannah. They
make a large quantity of sugar mills
pans, new boilers and all classes of
marine tvork in general. They em
ploy forty two men and are known as
one of the fairest employers of labor
in this section.
The cable gram received by the offi
cers of the Swedish Strike Relief Com
mittee from Herman Lindquist, na
tional secretary of the Swedish Fed
eration of Labor, tells its own story’
of the victory gained by the general
strike that has been waged by the
toilers of Sweden against their ex
callploitation:
After four months’ resistance we
have weakened the Employers’ Associ
ation so that it has been forced to
call of the great lockout. Swedish
industry is crippled and at least 20,-
000 men must wait until spring be
tore they get employment. We must
support these toilers all winter. This
is difficult to do after the long strug
gle. Help is needed. Do all in your
power.
