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— Passenger Freight Yard Engineers. Conductors Firemen Brakemen. Range $1972 3810 $2306 Range $1455 3505 $1916 $1156 2424 Average $1566 1552 2696 1847 1353 2358 1580 1055 1749 1245 943 1652 1209 649 1638 979 406 1302 777 957 1736 1109 755 1854 958 754 1405 990 The average yearly wage payments to all Southern train em ployes (including those who worked only part of the year) as shown by the 1915 payrolls were— Passenger Freight Yard Engineers. . . $1712 $1313 Conductors . . 1488 1157 Firemen . . . 865 688 Brakemen. . . 845 868 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 DruggisLs everywhere. PROFESSIONAL CARDS DR. E. C.

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 ly on products of the term and those articles ot merchandise rac k which the farmers freely use.
