In the threatened strike of four
branches of railroad employes, the
railroads of this country face one of
the most serious problems that has
confronted them in many years. The
demand of the Engineers, Firemen,
Trainman and Conductors is for an
eight-hour day and compensation
and a half for overtime.
The vote %as announced yesterday
afternoon ar.d it showed a prepon
derance for a strike by an average
of about ninety per cent, in the
vent the railroads refused the de
mands. The dispute between the
railroad men and the railroads is
about to come to a climax that will
be far-reaching in its effects. It
will mean either a strike or com
pensation demanded from the rail
roads by the men operating them.
a its last analysis it is a matter
that will seriously affect all branch
es of industry in the entire country,
a strike the measure of which has
been seen in this country. It
will tie up business, take employ-
lent from hundreds of thousands
f men and bring about a serious
cessation of all railroad activity, as
it affects its employees and the pa
trons. It is a matter that is portent
in its great power and should be I
carefully studied by all people like
ly to be affected.
The railroads, in supporting their
contention against the* raise in
wages have flooded the country with
Mterature and with advertisements
bearing on the subject. They seem to
have succeeded fairly well in pre
senting their side to the people of
file entire country.
T’ae railroad men, with no such
facilities at their disposal have not
been able to reach the public on
their side of the matter. The prepon
derant sentiment of hundreds of
thousands of men appear, however, in.
'he count of the vote. It is not a
.natter settled by heads of Brother
hoods, or men in authority. It is a
lirect word from the men them
selves; those who will be most ser
iously affected and it shows beyond
*he shadow of doubt that the ma
jority of them are firm in their con
viction that they are demanding
something that is their due and they
are willing to back up their conten
tion with their positions. No more
convincing proof of the seriousness
of the matter could be adduced than
by this vote. It is so compelling in
its force that there can be no man
who would dare think that it is not
o**dered by whatever wisdom and
discretion thousands of individuals,
in co-operative torce, have been
able to exercise.
We are not sufficiently posted with
the affairs under contest to form a
judgment that is based upon all the
facts or conditions, but there is no
juestion b. t that the railroad men
ire united in their opinions, that
they have investigated it thorough
ly and they have given each man a
fair and unbiased chance to express
his opinion. Their opinion in a mat
ter of this kind is wo"th more than
the vaporizing of thousands who
have neither investigated or are in
fluenced by other than personal con
sideration.
We can but hope mat an amica
ble settlement can come but we
very frankly do not believe that a
strike can be averted unless the rail
roads give in to the demands of the
employees. We believe, in the face
•f certain loss and the predominant
power of those making the demands
that the railroads will give in when
(all hope of increasing their earnings
| by a refusal to raise salaries, has
| vanished.
! The matter, according to today’s
I news dispatches 4 will be submitted
! to arbitration, both sides agreeing,
las a court of last resort, in order
i that if there is any way of settling
j the matter it may be done, thereby
'averting a general strike.
| It is a most serious matter, and
joue that we each have a right to be
• interested in. We have the wage-
, earners fighting for their rights,
;and the wage-payers fighting to cir
cumvent them. The power of the
.one cannot be underestimated, nor
jean the forpe of the other. It is a
.matte- too far gone for traffioing or
j variation. It 1b a fight to the fln-
• ish, and one that will be seriously
, felt unless it Is adjusted. We shall
hope that it will be and that those
(who deserve consideration may re
ceive it.

adopted:
Thomasville, Ga„ Aug. 7, 1916.
Mr. W. A. Pringle, Chairman,
Of the Board of Commissioners of
p oads aad Revenue of Thomas
County,
Thomasville, Ga.
Dear Sir: I do not think that Mr
Weldon has any claim against Thom
as County, on account of any bal
ance due on the monument erected
Captain Triplett in the Court
House yard. I do not understand
that County Commissioners employ
ed Mr. Weldon to put up this monu
ment. In fact, I do not think that
the County Commissioners have any
authority to spend money raised by
taxation to erect monuments. Even
the Legislature has no such author
ity.
When the monument to Genera:
Gordon was erected on the Capitol
Square the bill appropriating the
money therefor recited that the
same was for the purpose of orna
menting the Capitol grounds. I con
sider this to have been an evasion
of the Constitution.
Of coarse, the County Commis
sioners might evade the Law, in
some such way as this, but. I do not
consider that any effort ha-3 been
made to do so. Yours truly.
W. IRWIN MacTNTYRE.
The following resolution was in

Ready, Ky.—" I was not able to do
anything for nearly gix months,” writes
Mrs. Laura Bratcher, of this place, “and
was down in bed for three months.
I cannot telljrou how I suffered with
tny head, and with nervousness and
womanly troubles.
Our family doctor told my husband he
could not do me any good, and he had
to give It up. We tried another doctor,
but he did not help me.
At last, my mother advised me to take
Cardui, the woman's tonic. I thought
it was no use for 1 was nearly dead and
nothing seemed to do me any good. But
I took eleven bottles, and now I am able
to do all ol my work and my own
washing.
I think Cardui is the best medicine in
the world. My weight has increased,
and I look the picture ot health. ”
It you suiter from any of the ailments
peculiar to women, get a bottle of Cardui
today. Delay is dangerous. We know
it will help you, for it baa helped to
many thousands of other weak women
in the past 90 years.
