A RAILROAD STRIKE
IS UNTHINKABLE.
Tie-up of Transportation Facilities at
This Time Would Be Disastrous.
Those who are familiar with the rail
road situation, and who realize the
necessity for uninterrupted transporta
tion as an aid to the government in
the winning of the war, claim that a
railroad strike at this time would be
nothing short of treason.
The .Manufacturers Record, of Balti
more, Md., one of the foremost publi
cations dealing with the commercial
and industrial happenings of the coun
try, says in a recent editorial:
■•. The man who today antagonizes the
railroads or an increase in railroad
freights, made necessary by present
conditions is, whether intentionally or
! not, a eo-partner with Germany, and
every word that he says and every
act that he does against increased in
come for railroads is a word spoken
: and an act done in behalf of Ger
i many.”
i In another place the publication
says: “In order to win this war, or
at least to shorten its duration, in
creased transportation facilities are
abslutely essential.”
In short, a strike that would tie
up the railroads of this country and
cripple its transi*)rtation efficiency,
even for a day, at a time when they
are bending every energy to serve the
government, is unthinkable.
The patriotic attitude of the rail
roads of the country with respect to
this matter is reflected in the state
ment of the tail heads in Washington
who have unreservedly placed the ad
justment of the whole matter in the
President's hands with the assurance
that the railroads are willing to “leave
i.‘ to Wilson.”
What has been accomplished through
the Railroads’ War Board and the sev
eral subsidiary commissions in the
matter of handling the transportation
problems since the beginning of the
war, has been nothing short of mirac
ulous, and the man or set of men who
would attempt to cripple this impor
tant arm of the government at .such a
time should be classed as a traitor to
his country and dealt with as such.

A PATRIOTIC CHRISTMAS!
Where public sentiment in the past
has urged a “sane Christmas for the
sake of order and propriety, the Geor
gia Fire Prevention Committee of
National Defense presents the new and
added reason that such a Christmas
will assist our government in its great
fight for the conservation of food prod
ucts and other commodities by the pre
vention of fires.
Statistics show that not only are
death and injury due to the display of
fireworks, but that heavy destruction
of property alw-ays results. At. a time
when our nation is at w-ar with the
greatest single military power the
world has ever known and is straining
every nerve to meet the inevitable de
mands. <t is above all ill-suited for the
unnecessary imperiling of any of' our
resources, whether man-power or prop
erty, by the useless extravagance of
funds or the endangering of products
for a demonstration that, at best can
be classed only i>oor patriotism.
The National government is using
every energy to utilize available forces
to minimize the destuction of commod
ities by fire. America and our allies
stand today in imperative need of all
munitions this nation can produce.
.Materials used in making fireworks
can be employed by the governin'nt in
the manufacture of munitions.
Acting under the direction of the
government for the safeguarding of
all necessary products anil property,
the Georgia Fire Prevention Commit
tee of National Defense Ts urging mu
nicipalities of the State to enact and
enforce ordinances that will prevent
the sale and use of fireworks and save
property and life.
It is a time when loyal Georgians can
aid in the prevention of destruction by
fire and the useless waste of materials
and money.
