President Harding has notified the railroads that this railroad strike must stop- It is a menace to every busi ness in the country. He offered a plan to effect conciliation which the railroad workers accepted but which the railroad directors flatly turned down. In substance these railroad directors take the attitude “Who is this butting in ? Nothing but the gov ernment.” It was Commodore Vanderbilt of the New York Central system, who voiced the historic attitude of railroad owners and directors: “The public be damn ed.” The railroads have taken this attitude just a little bit 100 long. They have conducted their business with conspicuous dishonesty and fla grant falsehood. They have exhaust ed the patience of the people. If they ever had the sympathy of the public in this industrial controversy they lost it when they turned Hanrding down. The railroads woke up yesterday to appreciate the fact that they were gumming up their own game and hur ried out the message to the press that they still left the door a little way open. A little way open, indeed. If they don’t throw it wide open Con gress will. Even staid, conservative senators are beginning to get tired of these railroad attorneys and these rail road directors. Senator Cummins of lowa (Republican) chairman of the senate committee on interstate com merce, openly predicted that the rail road directors will retract their action and retract it quick or the government will again seize their roads. And if it ever seizes them again it will never turn them back. Only a few days ago The Journal made the statement that government operation if not government owner ship of the railroads will be the para mount issue in the presidential cam paign of 1924- Now comes a Repub lican senator who says in substance the same thing. The people are be ginning to say it. They are saying it because the railroads have carried out in practice tine policy of C mmo dore Vanderbilt,: “The publi/c he damned.” The people have been damned enough by the railroads and they are not going to he damned any more. As The Journal pointed out the other day, railroad directors have been for half a century of time much more con cerned with the blackboard on the New York stock exchange wall than with the business of transportation. Their plundering practicec of selling watered stock put the railroads in such a delapidated condition that they were unable to serve the war needs of the nation. To save the country, the government HAD to take over the railroads. There was no alternative. The railroad men who have been in the railroad business all their lives were unable to conduct the railroad business with sufficient efficiency to serve thei country in its hour of need. Government officials at whom they scoff took up the job and DTD it. Now the railroads whine about be ing depleted, busted down. They are. The railroads here in Florida are in a delapidated condition. The yards are full of junk. Their time table sched ules in the state are a joke- They are indifferent on the whole question of giving the public a good, safe, speedy, prompt service. They say they can’t do it ;the gov ernment left them in such had shape. Their subsidized newspapers and their paid press agents every spread propaganda that is wilful falsehood. They claim they must reduce the wages of their workers because their revenue is not sufficient to build up their systems. Wages must come down to normalcy, but traffic rates must go above normalcy. They in sist that they must have an increase in freight rates and in passenger fares, that they cannot hope to build up un less they have a larger revenue. Some are in the hands of receivers In many cases plundered stockholders have put them there. Nothing but gross mismanagement and stock ma nipulation can cause any of them to get thore. They tell a very different sort of a story when they go up against th<* stock and bond game. Their news papers and their press agents put out all this sob stuff about their having such a hard time to make ends meet. The railroads are so poor—we should weep. When they want to sell railroad bonds or issue more stock, their pro motion brokers flood you with contra dictory statements. The following railroads boastfully herald the fart that for 1921 they made the following profits: Atchison, T. & S- Fe.... $39.3.31/562 Atlantic Coast Line 1,790,569 Chesapeake & Ohio 4,192,601 THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 1922. Chicago & Rock Island... 5,780,259 Illinois Central 9,700,794 Missouri Pacific 3,537,016 New York Central 22,295,086 Norfolk & Western 10,043,181 Northern Pacific 22,965,399 Southern Pacific 30,618,778 Union Pacific 31,301075 That doesn't look as though there was any reason why they should at tempt to run broekn down engines, why their tracks should not be in good condition, why their rolling stock should not lie put in ship-shape, j There is money enough in the trans- | portation business to deliver good transportation. Nothing but a plun dering policy prevents—unless they don’t know how to run their own bus iness. If the railroads are makings such profits, two things are perfectly obvi ous : There is no reason for reducing the workmen’s wages, or there is de cided need of, very promptly bringing into effect a radical reduction in the freight and passenger rates. One or the other. What is more, and that is what the people are beginning to realize, if the government can run the railroads more efficiently than the railroad directors can, and with fewer interruptions by strike, which has been proven, why not take over the railroads run them as efficiently as the postoffice is run; merely enlarge the postal service to include all common carriers and let the government have the benefit of the startling earnings that the rail roads themselves boastfully show. This is not socialism. This is sim ply. sound business. If this is social ism, then the postoffice is socialism. The railroads refused to participate in President Harding’s plan because they demanded the right to punish the strikers and refused to restore to them their seniority rights- The railroads refusal is based on the supposition that they only are right. It is an historical fact that the railroads have seldom been right except when public sentiment has pushed them right. Public sentiment is going to push them right NOW. They arc going to restore the seniority rights of their workmen. It will be done pretty promptly. Watch it. The railroads are afraid of just one thing: the ris ing tide of public sontiment for the government operation and ownersh p of their roads. Tt is coming. The blundering, stupid railroad directors and their attorneys who know so little about the transportation business and less about democracy, are forcing the very issue they woulej like to avoid. —Advertisement.

NEW KIND OF LOCOMOTIVE AT FORD ATLANTA SHOW The forthcoming Southeastern Ford son Industrial Exposition which will be held in Atlanta from August 29th to 31st inclusive, will have as one of its exhibits what is claimed to be the greatest advance in locomotive con struction for small industrial uses- A Southern inventor, Mr. Reese Adamson, a business man of Birming ham, Ala., invented it. In describing this invention, Mr. P. J. McNatt, local Ford dealer, says: “In the construction of this locomo tive the principal power plant of the Fordson Tractor has been set into a heavy steel frame. The latter has been mounted on large steel flanged wheels and these connected with the drive rods in much the same manner as a steam locomotive. “The expensiveness and danger ot fire from small steam locomotives in much industrial work led Mr. Adam son to invent this unique locomotive. Many forest fires have been started by sparks from a logging engine. Sim ilarly sparks are dangerous around mines and large manufacturing plants. “I am informed that this engine can haul 30 freight cars on a standard guage track. As it uses kerosene oil for fuel, the operating cost is very low and it has all the elements of safety.” Mr. McNatt reports this is but one of over seventy equally interesting ex hibits to be seen at this exposition and it is well worth while planning to go to Atlanta to see it —COTTON shipped to Battey & Co. the efficient cotton factors of Savan nah, Ga., yields satisfaction as is evi denced by the large volume of busi ness entrusted to them.
