CONSTRUCTIVE BUSINESS
OR
RACKETEERING
Which Will Qeorgia Choose
W HEN Governor Talmadge calls t h e
members of the Georgia Public Service
Commission up on trial before him on next
Monday, the State of Georgia will be on trial
also.
The serious question which Governor Tal-
madge must decide is whether constructive
business, wage-paying and tax-paying busi
ness, law-abiding business, can continue to
enjoy the protection of the law in Georgia, or
whether all businesses in Georgia henceforth
will be in danger of the ruthless rule of racke
teers.
The real issue in this case is not whether
electric rates in Georgia are too high or too
low. That is a minor matter by comparison
with the main question. The important issue
is this—
Can a clique of half a dozen so-called labor
union leaders in Atlanta—by jthreats, intimi
dation and other racketeering methods—so
completely dominate the government of Geor
gia that no elective official and no judicial
body will in the future dare do otherwise
than bow to their commands?
The decision, which Governor Talmadge
must make is this—
Can individual citizens or businesses get
justice in Georgia if this Atlanta clique says
“No”?
On his decision hinges not only Georgia’s
hope of future development, but even the
safety of private property.
When you know the past history of this
case, you caq understand clearly the hidden
motives back of the petition filed with the
Governor by the Georgia Federation of La
bor, at the instigation of this Atlanta c’ique,
demanding the removal of the Georgia Public
Service Commission.
The petition pretends to be an attack on the
Public Service Commission. Actually the pe'
tition was brought for the sole purpose of do
ing injury to the Georgia Power Company.
This is clearly revealed by the fact that the
petition devotes itself exclusively to this
We Have No Quarrel
With Organized Labor
The Georgia Power Company has no
quarrel (with organized labor. For many years,
cordial relations have existed between this
Company and a laTgc number of members of
organized unions who larc in our employ.
Our adversaries tin this difficulty are a
small group of Atlanta men, about half a
dozen in number, organized into a clique for
the purpose of exploiting organized labor and
promoting their own selfish political interests.
This Atlanta clique induced the Georgia
Federation of Labor to permit its name to be
used in their [petition to the Governor. On this
basis, the clique claims fto represent all of
the 30,000 members of the Georgia Federa
tion.
THEY DO NOT REPRESENT THE 30,-
000 MEMBERS OF THE FEDERATION.
We hav^ been dealing with Georgia work
ers, organized and unorganized, for many
years, and wew know what kind of people they
are. We know they eV> [not approve of racke
teering any more than otheir Georgia people
do.
We Ido not believe that this clique repre
sents, in spirit, more than a small percentage
of the total membership of the Federation.
This Atlanta clique, these half dozen At
lanta men, represent chiefly themselves alone.

DYNAMITE?
In publishing this advertisement, our mo
tive is quite frankly an attempt to bring about
some abatement of an attack which has been
carried on against us over a period of months.
This Company is now being attacked in a
more malicious way and with imore destructive
dynamite than that which has been used on
our power lines in the past and we are taking
this means ,of putting the facts before you.
Georgia people, we know, have no toler
ance for the racketeering methods—threats,
intimidation, violence—practiced in the big
cities of the north and east. Georgia people
don’t want to see racketeering imported into
our State. They would be quick to stamp it
out if ithey knew it existed.
Racketeering does exist in Georgia, and
it must be stamped out NOW.
In asking for public support fn this situa
tion, iwe are asking for no 8|>ecial {considera
tion, no special favors from the Governor, the
Public Service .Commission or anyone else. We
do ask, and we have the right to ass that
cases involving this Company be heard on
their merits, .and decisions he rendered on the
xasis of the facts and the law, by courts and
commissions protected by public opinion from
intimidation by racketeers,
IT DOES NOT MATTER TO US WHO
SERVES ON THE PUBLIC SERVICE COM
MISSION, SO LONG AS THEY ARE FAIR
AND IMPARTIAL MEN.
Company. It scarcely even mentions any
other utility under the supervision of the Com
mission.
THE PETITION, IN ALL OF ITS ACCU
SATIONS AGAIhST THIS COMPANY, IS A
TISSUE OF FALSEHOODS FROM BEGINNING
TO END.
* * *
Here are the events leading up to the filing
of the petition—
Some two years ago, a regrettable labor
dispute occurred in Atlanta, and a small group
of electrical workers employed by this Com
pany went on strike. The strike was wholly
unjustified and, under business conditions then
existing, it was a futile and foolish strike.
It was NOT a dispute between this Com
pany and its employes which brought on the
strike.
There was no disagreement as to wages,
hours or conditions of work between this Com
pany and its employes. Instead, this Company
and its employes were dragged bodily into
the trouble by this clique of labor union offi
cials. Their dispute was with a separate and
distinct company, Allied Engineers, now out
of business. Even while that dispute was in
progress, an acceptable labor contract be
tween the Georgia Power Company and its
c wn union employes was drawn up, agreed to
verbally and was waiting to be signed.
But when the union officers decided to
break with the Allied Engineers, they likewise
called a strike on the Georgia Power Com
pany, frankly admitting that their sole pur
pose in calling the strike against this Com
pany, was to intimidate the other company.
. * * *
Admitting that they had no just grievance
against this Company, they nevertheless were
so determined to RULE OR RUIN they did not
hesitate at sacrificing the jobs of the members
of their union, called them off their work, and
launched their campaign of intimidation.
Since that date, this Company has been sub
jected continuously to a ruthless and unscru
pulous attack.
For a period of months, the Company’s
property was dynamited time after time, until
outraged public opinion forced a cessation of
that vandalism.
And alongside that vandalism went a more
malicious attack, openly under the leadership
of this Atlanta clique.
Openly admitting their purpose to annoy,
harass and injure this Company in any way
possible, they have carried on a widespread
propaganda campaign, seeking to poison the
public mind by circulating twisted facts and
deliberate falsehoods, in public speeches, ra
dio talks and published statements.
They forced through the Atlanta City Coun
cil a series of ordinances designed to hamper
and harass this Company.
They have sought to make this Company
an issne in every political campaign and they
have openly thrown their support to any can'
didate who would job them in their scheme.
They have directed an especially vicious
attack upon the Public Service Commission,
because they know that this Commission has
the power almost of life and death over this
Company. They know that they can injure us
most if they can terrorize the court which con
trols us.
Throughout it all they have set themselves
up as crusaders Sor the public welfare. But,
time and again, they have exposed their true
motives when they have sent emissaries to this
Company, -offering to call off the attack and
stop their “crusade,” if we would discharge
faithful workers and give their jobs to the
strikers—a proposal which obviously we could
not even consider.
* * #
Now they have made their boldest bid.
Determined to RULE OR RUIN, made arro
gant by such successes as they have gained so
far, they have marched into the Governor’s
office and demanded the heads of the Public
Service Commission served to them on a plat
ter.
This trouble began as a private fight be
tween the Georgia Power Company and half
a dozen Atlanta labor onion officers. Now it is
no longer a private fight. These men, by their
bold attempt to get a stranglehold on the gov
ernment of Georgia, have made this a matte!
of direct concern to every citizen of the State.
If these men, in order to satisfy their sel
fish personal ambitions can oust any office
holder who stands in their path—
If these men, by trumped up false accusa
tions; by threats and intimidation, can over
turn Georgia’s commissions and courts
regardless of the law, the {facts or the truth,
then—
WHO IN {GEORGIA CAN BE SAFE?
