fTVlDENTLY the teat between the railroads and the employes
over wages has arrived. Judge Sibley, in the United Stairs court
at Atlanta, has taken the dispute into his own hands, the slow prog
ress of the Railway Labor board resulting in the threatened receiver
ship for the A., B. & A. road, and has put into effect beginning today
the reduced wage scale which President Bugg, of the road, has for
some time contended was absolutely essential if the road we 4 c to
continue in operation. Judge Sibley, wiping out one-half of the in
creases in wages granted to the road’s employes since 1917, has
ruled that the wages to be paid to common labor henceforth must be
in accord with the scale of wages paid to the same class af labor in
the various localities where they are employed.
B
UT the railroad employes are fighting, and fighting hard. They
are exercising more patience and caution than when other dis
putes. even trivial, arose*during critical times of the last few years,
for jobs ore fewer now and men more plentiful.but they are out with
the threat that the strike will be employed, if necessary, as a last
resort to.protect their rights. Juts what these rights for which they
contend are remains to be seen in detail. Indications are that they
object .principally to the decrease in wages as ordered, and will de
mand to be retained at the top rate of pay, or nearly there.

THE men mny be right: they may be wrong. They may lie par
tially right and partially wrong. The purpose of this discussion
is not to pass judgment on whether they are wrong or ris-ht. And
even though this were the purpose it would be manifestly impossibi
to judge fairly at this time, because the facts are not all in. But
there are some observations that seem to be plain, regardless of who
right or who wrong. One of these is that railroad rates MUST
speedily come down. Conditions cannot go on ns they are. The
arteries of trade and travel are now clogged and choked—not any
longer by a volume of traffic that is immovable with the existing
equipment, as was the ease only a few months ago, hut by prohibi
live rates. Statistics tell us that the freight cars of the American rail
roads now idle, if placed end to end. would reach from Pittsbur
to San Francisco.
U£RE t® a concrete example of how the present rates hit Georgia—
, * and every section and every industry is similarly hit. A prom
inent Georgia melon grower has computed the present freight rate.
from Oglethorpe, Ga., which is a few miles from . . .lc.iciu, to v i
rious Northern and Eastern markets on caiiots of melons and peaches
Ha discovers that the freight increase on theae two crops alone this
year will be $250,000, or an amount so large as to threaten the
marketing at all of these crops. He expresses the fear that the in-
W ‘N result in a' discontinuance of f. o. b. buying of melons
and peaches by the commission houses, which has meant to much to
Georgia growers in the past.
INCREASES for other commodities i have been proportionate, with
equallydisastrous results, which are just being felt or are about to
be felt. The railroada, putting the increased rates into effect to swell
the revenues which they showed had to bo increased to meet the
great increase in wages, have found their revenues dwindling again
with the'coming of business stagnation, despite the higher rates.
And the increases themselves have been potent factora in clogging
the wheels of trade and discouraging business leaders to gq ahead
0BVIOUSLY. rates must come down; they must be restored to ..
point somewhere near former times, as other conditions become
normal. How this is to be effected is a matter to be developed,
b But 11 w "[ kc difficult to convince the great bulk of the people that
wages which were doubled in the press of war timea to meet soar
ing living costs and conditions should not be reduced as living costs
recede. The public ns a rule approves good wages, but it also dis
approves a privileged class, and will resent any effort of the rail-

I the other hand, it would not be for the best interests of the na-
tion for normalcy to be completely restored as regards labor.
A nation progresses as its people pro;;:ess, as their standard of liv
ing rises. Old standards of living cannot be safely restored in this
country, and it is well they cannot; it is easier to keep a man down

they graduate they have things

"The Growing Teacher” will bo
the subject of the first address to be
given by R. D. Webb*at the district
Sunday school convention in the
First Baptist church here on Tuesday,
March 8. Following his address.
Rev. A. E. Driggers, pastor of the
Clemson College Methodist hcurch, at
Clemson College, S. C., will speak
on "Leakage in the Sunday School
and How to Prevent It.” n
Both of these addresses are on
timely topics, appealing to all who
arc interested in better Sunday
schools. Because of the particular
training each of these workers has
in Sunday school work, their visit
should prove helpful to all the Sun
day schools in this district. Two of
the greatest problems in the Sunday
school today are the reaching and tho
holding of pupils in the Sunday
schools. Both of these addresses will
give many suggestions for better
Sunday school work.
A cordial invitation ia extended to
all Sunday school workers of all de
nominations in am! near AmericUJ to
attend this meeting. —
