RAILROAD
WAGES
Shall they be determined by
Industrial Warfare ox
Federal Inquiry?
To the American Public:
Do you believe in arbitration or indus
trial warfare?
The train employes on all the railroads
are voting whether they will give their leaders
authority to tie up the commerce of the
country to enforce their demands for a 100
million dollar wage increase.
The railroads are in the public service—
your service. This army of employes is in
the public service—your service.
You pay for rail transportation 3 billion
dollars a year, and 44 cents out of every
dollar from you goes to the employes.
On all the Southern railroads in 1915, seventy-five percent of the
train employes earned these wages (lowest, highest and average
of all) as shown by the payrolls—

ployes (including those who worked only part of the year) as
shown by the 1915 payrolls were—

A 100 million dollar wage increase for
men in freight and yard service (less than
one-fifth of all employes) is equal to a 5 per
cent advance in all freight rates.
The managers of the railroads, as trustees
for the public, have no right to place this
burden on the cost of transportation to you
without a clear mandate from a public tri
bunal speaking for you.
The railroads have proposed the settle
ment of this controversy either under the
existing national arbitration law, or by refer
ence to the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion. This offer has been refused by the
employes’ representatives.
Shall a nation-wide strike or an
investigation under the Gov
ernment determine this issue?

STATEMENT FROM
The recent continous and sev
ere rains throughout the cotton
belt, indicate that the govern
ment estimating burean was a
little previous in its recent state
ment as to the prospect of the
1916 cutton crop, says a state
ment just given by commissioner
J. J. Price of the State Depart
ment of Agricultuae.
“The government told us
there would be about 14,400,000
bales this year, and put Georgia
high up on the list,” Commission
er Price said: “I am inclined to
think the governmeut estimate
a little previous, and no doubt
it had some effect on the market.
h e it may have looked that
way at the time, recent reports
to this department coming from
practically every section of this
state, indicate great damage both
to corn and cotton as the result
of the continued heavy rains.
In many sections, particularly
in middle and south Georgia,
the cotton plant is so large that
it can hardly be plowed again.
The efiect of rain and wind and
the softening of the ground, has
been to leave a hole around the
stalk, and cause the breaking of
many of the lateral roots. It is
practically impossible to get a
plow near enough to fill up these
holes. In north and northwest
Georgia the heavy rains have
had similar effect, but not to such
great extent, as the cotton plant
is not so large,
Nevertheless, owing to this
and other damage, we cannot
now expect anything like what
the crop once promised. As
these rains were general over
practically the entire cotton belt
and the damage will be well dis
tributed and fall heavily on any
one section or state. The crop
reduction will be general all over
the south, and the resultant en
hancement in price will possibly
overbalance all the rain damage.
“There is further fear that
Gall Stones, Cancer and Ulcers
of the Stomach and Intestines,
Auto-Intoxication, Yellow Jaun
dice, Appendicitis and other fatal
ailments result from Stomach
Trouble. Thousands of Stomach
Sufferers owe their complete re
covery to Mayr’s Wonderful
Remedy. Unlike any other for
Stomach Ailments. F’or sale by

there is pleanty of rain, and this

“As to corn, particularly on
bottom lands where the over
flow has been heavy, consider
able harm has been done. This
is especially true where the stalk
was very large. Where it was
small the farmers will be able
to save a large percentage of the
crop.
“There is no question, however
in my mind that government
estimates will have to be mater
ially revised as to the result of
the recent rain damage.”
The State Department of Agri
culture expresses particular gra
tification over the fact that farm
ers all over Georgia are exhibit
ing such strong interest in the
hearing to begin August 17, be
fore the state railroad commis
sion, on the petition of the rail
roads for increase in rates.
“This department has heard
from manv sections,” said Com
missioner Price, “and it looks as
if the farmers will be properly
represented before the commis
sion. This department will do
everything within its power to
resist rate increase, particular
