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.

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.
