Railway Wage Increases—Their Meaning
•I*
On the first of next Month railway employees gen
erally will receive an increase of 5 per cent in pay, which
will complete the restoration of a 10 per cent decrease
they received in 1932. Railway employees will then en
joy the same compensation as prior to the depression,
which for some classes of employees constitutes a peak
for railway history.
Railway management recognizes the efficient and
loyal service of the industry’s employes and anticipates
naturally that renewed energy and effort will follow the
increased compensation. It recognizes further that the
additional wage disbursements will find their way immed
iately into the channels of trade and hopes that beneficial
effects may follow. But management cannot view other
wise than with grave concern the resumption of the high
est wage scale in history, when railway revenues are in a
state of such depletion as now exists.
The wage increase is not the result of regained pros
perity on the part of the railroads and should not be so in
terpreted by the public. It is the result of an agreement
negotiated at Washington early in 1934, when there was
promise (which unfortunately did not materialize) of in
creased earnings. The net earnings of the railways as a
whole have declined about 66 2-3 per cent since 1929, yet
the 1929 wage scale is restored. The gravity of the situa
tion is apparent when it is understood that about 50 cents
of every dollar spent by the railroads goes for wages. The
cost of materials, supplies, fuel and everything else the
railroads buy has also increased, in some instances as
much as 57 per cent.
There is no indication that the volume of traffic will
increase to an extent that will justify these increased ex
penditures.
The situation is a critical one and it cannot be denied
that the railroads face additional and wide-spread bank
ruptcy or government ownership. The only escape is
through fair treatment by press, public and state ancj
Federal authorities. Such a program of fair treatment
must exclude such restrictions as are proposed in a Fed
eral payroll tax for pensions; six-hour day; train crew
and train limit legislation; and must include measures to
equalize the terms of competition between railroads and
other carriers.
Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited.
H. D. POLLARD, Receiver.
Savannah, Ga., March 12, 1935.

ATTRACTIONS AT
RITZ THEATRE
A college picture with an en
tirely new twist is offered in “Girl
of My Dreams,’’ which features
Mary Carlisle in the title role, at
the Ritz Theatre in Porterdale this
coming Monday and Tuesday. Mak
ing a distinct departure from the
usual football background this
film is a gay and tuneful m el
lange of college romances pretty
girls and catchy tunes, topped off
with a thrilling inter-collegiate
track meet.
The story, centering around
Gwen, irresistible Rawley College
belle, is really very plausible and
allows satisfactory basis for the
many musical and comedy
tures.
Gwen serves as the pivot for the
pio; a d her charming aggressive
ness toward Don Cooper, retiring
and serious minded athlete, when
she is really in love with Larry
Haynes, conceited hurdler of the
Rawley team, supplies the action.
Don succumbs to Gwen's charms
completely and Larry stands by to
watch the girl of his dream walk
out of his life. The rise and fall
of their emotions afford most ef
fectively hits of melodrama. With
the big meet on, Gwen realizes
that she is the cause of the team’s
downfall and straightens every
thing out in time to bring the pic
ture to a happy close.
Mary Carlisle, recently seen in
Sweetheart of Sigma Chi, plays
the part of Gwen in her usual
charming fashion, and Eddie Nu
gent although playing the conceit
ed Larry Haynes, succeeds in gain
ing sympathy. Sterling Holloway
and Arthur Lake provide spark
ling comedy, and have a terrible
time discovering the true identities
of Nip and Tuck, played by the
beautiful Crane twins. Ted Dahl
and his orchestra furnish the
catchy music effects.
“One of the provisions of our
sales program is to supply cars
to those who place orders first,
and in the order they are received.
I certainly wish that our good
friends in this territory would
place their orders early because'
then we can better arrange our
plans and make as prompt delivery
as possible.”
Mr. Carr stated further that he
would be glad to show any of the
residents of the territory covered
by his zone, which includes the
territory mentioned above, through
the Assembly Plant in Atlanta at
any time they are in the city and
extends a cordial invitation for
them to visit the Plant.

The _ Senate of the United States
is famous for its inquisitions, but
when u attempted to find out
wb at President Roosevelt intend
ed 10 do with the $4,000,000,000
relief funds 'be answered, it stood
defeated. After days of question
ing of Relief Administrator Hop
kins, Admiral peoples, of the
Treasury, and other officials, the
Senate committee didn’t even
know who had written the bill,
much less what its intent was. And
the redoubtable warrior, Carter !
Glass of Virginia, was on’the com

The best analogy of the first
month of Congre. s, in which it
did nothing important, is found
in two prize fighters who spend a
couple of rounds testing each
other’s mettle At the end o
the first five weeks of this session,
despite the heavy Democratic ma
jority, neither the extreme radicals

a showdown. The World Court
issue was unimportant from this
standpoint.

Organized labor, through Wi!
liam Green, president of the Fed
eration of Labor, and John L.
Lewis, president of the mine
union, have finally forced a situ
ation whioh was inevitable and has
been on the horizon for months,
As Arthur Brisbane, the writer,
expressed it, “the Administration
begins to suspect that what union
labor wants is not cooperation but
obedience.”
Mr, Brisbane commented that,
“The automobile Industry, great
est in the country, pays the best
wages of any industry in the Unit
ed States, or in the world. And
organized labor had nothing to do
with its progress or high standard
of its wages.” He added:
“There is no sound reason for
turning over an industry so highly
developed, well paid, preeminently
successful, to a body of labor un
ion managers that have had noth
ing to do with it, deserve no
credit for its success. To al’ow
leaders, however sincere and up
right, to force their way into that
industry and COLLECT DUES
from a gigantic industrial organi
zation, would be like a ‘muscling
in’ operation on the racketeer

Chevrolet Maintains
Leadership for Sixth
Year Out of Eight
'Latest figures received from R.
L. Polk & Company, handling of
ficial automobile registrat.ons for
the United States, show that Chev
rolet led their nearest competitor
in sales in 1934.
“Tbe Company is now operating
its huge assembly plant in Atlanta,
Georgia, to practically full capac
ity,” sa d Mr. Carr, Zone Manager
of Chevrolet Motor Company, in
an interview to-day. ,
“We appreciate the confidence
of the people in the Atlanta terri
tory, which includes most of the
state of Geongia, and part of Ten

for 1935 will entirely justify their

Grown-up children, too, liked to
come to her, never failing to

from the calmness and peace she
diffused about her. The 1/iend

these brought joy to the last years

NRA Revision of All
Minor Codes Seen
By Senator George
Revision of NRA, including
elimination of compulsory codes
except for major industries carry
ng on interstate commerce, was
predicted by Georgia's Senator
Walter F. George, after a confer
ence with President Roosevelt. The
senior senators from this state who
is a member of the senate finance
committee now investigating NRA,
also said that he felt the chief
execut.ve favors a much more com
plete revision of NRA than was
outlined in his message to congress
several weeks ago.
The revision as described by
Senator George, calls for elimina-,
tion of compulsory codes for small |
industry, except for industries!
wh ch desire them. In their place]
voluntary to provide codes for would d be set hours upj
a: govern
of labor, wages and child labor.
It is tb^ opinion of Senator
George that the functions of NRA
should be transferred to the feder
al trade commission and the pres
ent recovery agency abolished. He
Predicted that no legislation, to ex
ter d NRA would'pass congress
unless its powers were drastically

Ford Dealer Urges
Truck Users To
Analyze Needs
- I
whea selecting ...... hauling equip- I
m ent, the two factors generally re
garded as most important are the
load that can be carried and the
t ime squired to deliver it. How-:
ever , the ton-mile cost of opera -1
tion often depends on the “bulk”’
father than the weight of the ma
j°rity of the loads to be hauled,
which applies especially to farm
uses.
These points were emphasized
by the local Ford dealer. ,
“The new Ford V-8 trucks are
known as ‘double duty’ trucks,”
said, “because they meet the
double needs of today—plenty of!
power for hauling heavy loads, and
road speeds and nimbleness
in tr affic for quick deliveries,
