Representatives, TRANSPORTATION ACT MAY STOP THE STRIKE—\Ve¢ expect to hear that President W. ;. Harding will appear before a joint session of the House and Senate to ask for a resolution to put into operation the provisions of the Transpor tation Act, which directs the Interstate Commerce Commission to arrange the railroads of the country into nineteen groups, each of which is to be oper ated as a single property and the securities and stocks of the several properties are to be merged into one ‘orporation. To avoid the strike and thus save the country from the most serious con dition which has ever confronted it, as serious as war itself, a radical remedy is necessary and justi fiable and the administration will find this measure ready made for the emergency. A Republican Congress is the daddy of the meas ure, so it will not be embarrasing this administra tion to make use of a weapon made during the last Iﬁ?n of the incumbancy of President Wilson, cs pecially since a refusal to utilize this measure may lead to the total disruption of the political party in power, who naturally will be held responsible for whatever may develop out of this serious railroad crisis The Transportation Act was passed by Congress ostensible for the protection of the people at large from the dangers of interrupted transportation fa cilities and though there have been doubts in cer tain guarters of the possible enforcement, loyal law abiding Americans will back the Administra tion in putting the act into operation. Opposition to putting the law into operation will amount to treason, whether opposed by the railway' compan ies and their executives or the employees of the 10ads. A strike of the magnitude which threatens the comtry because of the arbitrary position taken by the railway executives, is revolutionary, and tho organized labor is forced to resort to it, the respon sibility for its final call will rest with railway ex ecutives. Locally the outcome of this strike con troversy will be closely watched as in the final ad justment of the national strike situation the for mer employees of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic Railroad will be included and returned to their former places. é Ta IO R WHO MAKES THIS TOWN ?—lt isn’t one man or any half dozen, or dozen, It is every person in town, as well as those who make a practice ofl coming to the town. We have citizens who are SO | modest and retiring that they imagine their inﬂu-l ence is of no value, or has no weight—that it makes no difference to the town what they do or do nntl do. They are mistaken. | We have become so accustomed to the progress-. ive citizen that we expect to hear from him on any | subject of any importance. We would be mnr(‘! or less nonplussed if he did not come to the fmnt.i But it is the action of the puiet and retiring el- | ement that adds impetus and puts real life into a movement for civic improvement. They may not assume to be leaders, but when they get behind and push the weight is so great there is no such thing as premature halt. Little wavelets lapping up on the seashore al ways precede the great tidal wave that sweeps ev erything before it. Tt is so in commimity life. In each community there are a few who are al wayvs promptly active in every good movement. They are the little waves that never rest, that are creeping up on the beach, advancing and receeding incessantly on the move until they create the great wave of public sentiment that moves irresistibly on to victory and achievement. It is the mass of quiet citizens who constitute the | bulk of that public sentiment. It is the citizen who possibly thinks that his own individual opin ion has but little influence upon community life. It is the one ‘who acts after others have talked. You, therefore are one of the number who make this town. You are expected to aid in making 1t even a bet ter town. You can do it if you will. No Wolf For The Cranes The Crane family, Mr. and Mrs., returned from the movies where they had laughed over the antics of a wolf and other families in one of the Aesop’s Film Fables. Mrs. Crane seized upon the mom ent of hubby’s good humor to voice her pet diver sion, using the fable to aid her argument. Mrs Crane—l don’t see why you object to my singing lessons. Perhaps some day my voice will keep the wolf from the door. Mr. Crane—lt probably will, if the wolf hears it. x e el e : Two Strikes Bobby ((excitedly) ‘Some liniment and cement please!” ; Druggist—Why both at once? .

THE SLEEPING MERCHANT—Some of the largest mail order houses in the country employ men whose duty it i¢ to read the country news papers day in day out. When they find the local merchants are not advertising, they immediately fthod that territory with catalogues, for there’s money there for them, and they generally succeed in getting part of it—litzgerald L.eader. The merchant who has anything to sell, and fails to advertise it, invites mail order competition. It is no wonder mail order houses employ men to read the country newspapers. The “dead” mer chants are those who do not advertise. The mail order houses do, and they go to the people in the communities where the local merchants spend their time spitting at cracks, whittling and fight ing flies.—Dalton Citizen. He invites industrious, enterprising merchants of other trade centers to come into his community and “mop up”. People have not stopped wearing clothes, shoes and hats; they have not stopped cating and sleeping. They have not stopped their going. They have not stopped their housekeeping at home and their rounds of duty on the outside. While that is going on they are required to spend something. Why not get some of that spending much of that spending, in the home store? Let the sleepy, grouchy merchant answer this, if he is within hearing distance.—Cordele Dispatch. SUGAR COATED PILLS OF WISDOM (by Aesop, Jr.) L oW : The Wolf and The Crane A turn must be good to deserve another. ok R Those who take and never give hardly deserve the right to live.

It seems they had just seen one of the “Aesop’s Film Fables™. The argument was over a bird in the, Paul Terry cartoon, which we believe was “The Rooster and the Eagle.” "Arry —lt's a heagle! ‘Erbert—(stuttering) Yer w-wr-wrong; it's a h--he-hen! ‘Arold—Yer both wrong; it's a how]!!! A e o Is your husband on a salary ? Yes-————but it's not fixed exactly to our liking— Buffalo Express, * THE LEADER-ENTEKPR'SE AND PRESS MONDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1921 2,000,000 MEN ORDERED TO LEAVE SERVICE (Continued from First Page) N ——— —————— ——— ——— ——\ . S—— 6. In the conduct of every stirike there are numerous irresponsible per scns; not members of the organiza ‘tion who take occassion to engage in acts of violence and disorderly conduct and such actions are usually attributed to members of the organi zations to avoid assoetating with such persons and such conduct should be discouraged so as not to cast reproach upon the cause, 7. Some raiiroad officials may en deavor to coerce or mislead the men by asserting that men at other points have not quit or that they have re turned to work, Such information should be discounted and all strikers should apply to their officers and com mittcemen for information and be governed accordingly, and no member or non-union man will return to work until the strike is officially declared off, when all will return at the same time without prejudice and with all former rights, Duties of Local Chairmen 1. The local chairman of each or ganization on each division of rail road will jointly supervise the prose cution of the strike on the territory over which they have jurisdiction, 2. Local chairmen are expected to kecp in close touch with the situation and will report daily preferably by night telegram letter to their re spective general chairman as to the condition of affairs, Whenever it is possible for the local chairman repre-. senting all of the organizations in-. volved at any terminal to report to. ‘their respective general chairman should be done, | 3. Expense incurred for telegrams will be borne jointly by the organi zations involved, 4. When deemed advisable the local‘ chairman will agree upon assistant‘ chairmen for their respective oreani zations, to be located at oant ‘oo points, and said assistant ch : ‘will report to their respective loca' chairmen, | 5. Clearly defined cases of dislqy-i alty or inefficiency on the part of{ any representative of the organiza tions should be reported to the other organizations and wecessary action either as to discipline or safety meas iurcc taken at once, i Duties of General Chairman 1, The general shairman of each railroad involved in the strike will supervise and be responsible for the conduct of the strike upon the line of raiiroad over which he has jurisdic tion and will make reports .by night telegram letter to the grand officer having gencral supervision over that line of road, Expense Incurred by so doing will be paid in accordance with the laws of the respective organiza tion, 2. On roads where, because of the number of strikers involved, it be comes necessary for the general chair man to have assistance he may desig nate other officers and members of the general committee as in his judg ment may be necessary to successful ly carry on the strike, 3. In the absence of instructions from the grand officer in charge of the of the district, the general chairmen will agree between themselves as to the points at which they will be lo cated during the strike, and they will immediately advise the officer in the charge of the district and each of their local chairmen where they are located and proper addresses, The general chairmen should keep each other ad vised as far as possible as to their location or movements, Duties of Grand Officers The grand officers of the organiza-l tions involved will be assigned to certain districts and each grand of ficer so assigned will have general supervision over the strike in his re spective district and over all members on srike and others associated with hem in that districe.
