Deputy President Railway Tel
. egraphers Speak Here
UPHOLDS UNIONISM
Says Advocates of Open Shop
Seek Industrial Slavery
0. D. Gorman, deputy president of
the rder of railway telegraphers, ad
dressed a crowd of about six hun
dred at the Odd Fellow’s Hall Wed
nesday afternoon, speaking against
the “open shop” movement that has
gained considerable headway in
American industry. Mayoer Ji L,
Pittman presided at the meeting
and introduced the speakers. Elder,
J. F. Hartley addressed the crowd
before Mr, “Gorman began his speech,
Elder Hartley declared that the
world needed more of the spirit of
unionism and co-operation in all
phases of work, He counselled his
hearers, most of whom were strikers,
that as long as they were right in
their fight they were sure of the
support of all fair men.
Mr. Gorman opened his talk by
declaring that the opposition to un
jonism in this country was based
entirely on ignorance of what union
ism is and what its aims and purpos
es are, He asserted that every in
terest in the United States was or
ganized, manufacturers, professional
men, merchants, and others. In ev
ery line of human endeavor except
for the farmer and the laborer, the
scller fixes the price of his product
and, Mr, Gorman said, the unions
demand only that the laborer have
the right to fix the price for the only
thing he has to sell, which is his
labor,
Mr. Gorman declared that the
prosperity of any community and
any nation is based on the purchas
ing power of its people. Broke farm
ers and workers on a starvation
scale of pay can not make a prosper
ous business community. Union la
bor he poined out, fixes the scale of
pay for all labor because every em
ployer must pay his men very nearly
the union scale else they would find
it worth while to join a union,
The farmers will never get their
share of what they produce, Mr,
Gorman declared, until they are or
ganized and union labor stands ready
to aid the farmers to organize, to aid
them with their experience and if
necessary with their money because
the interests of all producers are the
same, whether they produce on the
farms or in the shops and factories,
In reference to the present railroad
situation Mr. Gorman was emphatic
in asserting that no reduction in
wages could rightfully be asked or
should be accepted withct a dollar
for dollar reduction in f{reight aird
passenger rates. ‘“The tar:lls of' the
railroads were. raised on the pretext
of supplying the money to raisc the
wages of the railroad !abor¢rs nod
their wages can not be reduced with
out reduction in rates)”
Mr. Gorman scouted the state
ments in the daily press that $700,-
000,000 a year were to be ‘saved to
business’ by wage reductions. and
changes in working conditions on the
railroads.” He declared that legiti
mate business would lose that sum
of money when it was withdrawn
from circulatin through railroad pay
rolls and was taken to swell the in
comes of the railroad owners,
“American business would never see
the benefit of a nickle of that money
which is now being spent by two
million families for the necessities of
life unless the railroads are forced
to reduce their tariffs,” he said, ’
In closing Mr, Gorman decried the
movement for the open shop as a
movement to establish® a condition
of industrial slavery. “But it will
never succeed,” declared the speaker.
“Unionism is here to stay.”

-1879 ver it sur
passes all other States, produc
ing about one-third of the total
output of the entire eountry. In
fact, its real history sturts in
1838, wheu gold was first dis
covered,
Prior to that time there had
been but little settling in thi:
region. Spanish explorers had
traversed the country in the lat
ter part oi the Eighteenth cen
tury, and laid claim to it. As a
part of the Louisiana Purchase
it came into the possession of
the United States in 1803. Offi
cers of the United States army
were sent out to explore this
wilderness among whom were
Lieutenant Pike in 1806, and it
was after him that Pikes Peak
was named. In 1819 Colonel
Long made extensive explora
tions and he was followed. in
1842 by Fremont, whose activi
ties in the Mexican war brought
him into much prominence. At
_the close of the Mexican war,
Mexico ceded her rights to this
territory to the United States,
but it was considered a barren
waste and unattractive for set
tlers.
Then in 1858 came the dis
covery of gold in the bed of Dry
Creek, a few miles south of
where Denver now stands. The
following spring tens of thou
sands of men flocked into what
was then called the Pikes Peak
country. In 1859 Denver became
a town of one thousand inhabi
tants, and by the next year had
grown into a big city with news
papers, theaters, and a govern
ment mint,
In 1861 the Territory of Col
orado was created and in 1876
Colorado was admitted asg the
thirty-eighth state of the Union.
Its area is 103,048 square miles
and {its population entitles the
state to six presidential elec
tors.
The name is taken from the
Colorado river, and is a Spanish
adjective meaning “colored red.”
Colorado is often called the
Centennial State, as it was ad
mitted to the Union just one
hundred years after the Declara
tion of Independence.

FITZGERALD, BEN HILL COUNTY, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, JULY 1, 1921.
Paid Fire Force Organized 1906,
Wilkerson Chief, Baptist
Church First Fire
June 30th, 1921 was the fifteenth
anniversary of the birth of the Fitz
gerald Fire Department as a paid or
ganization with regular fire fighters
on duty all the time, Chief W, C,
Wilkerson has been chief since that
date with the exception of seven or
cight months when an upheaval in
local politics put another chief in
office for a short period until the coun
cil was forced in the interests of the
safety of the city to call Chief Wilk
erson back into service.
The department received its “bap
tism of fire” fiftcen years ago today
when lightnening struck the steeple
of the old Baptist church, a frame
building about one-third the size of
the present structure, that stood on
the northeast corner of Main and Mag
nolia, The fire was extinguished by
the new organization” after the stecple
had gone up in smoke and splinters,
Since the Baptist church fire, the
first one, the department has an
swered 1,050 alarms in the fifteen
years of its existence to date, an av
erage of only seventy per year or
about three every two, weeks. The
fire loss has been small for cities of
this size.
The department has been motor
ized since 1915, One fire engine
truck and one truck a light speecdster
for the chief now carry the fire fight
ers into action when the big wild cat
whistle at the power house wails out
the fire alarm.
The fifteenth anniversary passed
quictly yesterday. The boys haven’t

New Firestone Tire Is
’Universa] In Adaptation
Casing Causes Sensation In Truck
Circles, Because It's A Wonder
———
Considerable local interest has been
aroused over the new type of truck
tire on display at E, L. Dorminy Mo
tor Co, and the Fitzgerald Overland
Co., the Firestone Agencies, The
new tire has caused quite a sensation
in tire and truck circles, |
It seems that from general opinion
based on the performance of the dif
ferent cushion tires on the market,
there is an impression that cushions
can only be used on small trucks.
The new Giant Cushion completely
overthrows this theory for it can be
adapted to any size truck from three
fourths of a ton to seven and one-half
tons, Also it can be used in every
type of service Firestone experts say,
According to Mr. Dorminey and
My, Sligh, the larger volume of rub
" or extro width of tread and larger
contact on the road, gives a low pres
vr> and strain on the tire which
makes it girerate less heat and live
ioi. o~ They further point out that
this new giint Cushion with its cups,
grooves and cross bars makes a non
skid tread as nearly perfect as can be
in a tire without air. Togcther with
the familiar Firestone cushion shape
these features keep down the tendency
of the tire’s edges breaking off, com
mon with solids due to abuse by op
erators.
Being of S, E, A, Dimensions, built
to carry heavy loads and able to pro
tect the roads from abuse it is no
wonder that production is already
falling behind the sales of this new
CGiant Cushion,

Weather Still Too Dry For Good
Crops In Most Sections of State
Ben Hill County Is One of Few
Favored Sections Where
Rains Have Fallen
ATLANTA, Ga, June 29th—Very
hot, sunny weather prevailed during
the week, with local showers, generally
light and very poorly distributed, so
that the greater part of the staie is
still suffering from severe drought,
Where showers fell some improve
took place in all crops, but the areas
covered were relatively very small, and
the drought is now causing all crops
to deteriorate rapidly, except cotton,
which is able to withstand drought
well. Where showers fell cotton
made some improvement, but the
bulk of the crop made out little
growth and is still quite small, The
cotton crop is everywhere clean and
well cultivated and is fruiting to the
northern Jimit, but boll weevils are
attacking squares almost as soon as
formed. Early and upland corn is
firing badly; lowland corn is fair;
the corn crop is about laid by; it
will be a failure without general rains
soon, It has been too dry for peas
planted in stubble land to come up
well, Early sweet potatoes which
have covered the ground with vines
are doing well; where there werc
showers transplanting continues.
Peanuts, sugar-cane, rice, and sor
ghum need rain and are not making
good growth, Pastures and gardens
are in poor condition, Shipments of
peaches and melons continue, Gen
cral rains are badly neceded through
out Georgia.
