UNION CEM,
stfs FORBES
Cites Dire Possibilities of World
Strike as Warning to Give
Workers Just Rewards.
By B. C. FORBES.
"The men who sweat to do the
world’s work dont get enough out
of it
“THE OVERHEAD CHARGE IS
TERRIFIC.
“It can’t last."
• • •
These terse statements were made
to me. not by a laborer, but by the
wealthy head of a banking firm, a
thinker.
• • •
When I was traveling in Europe
this summer it was borne in upon
me that one of the world-shaking
movements of the not distant fu
ture will be an international organ
isation of workmen embracing mil
lions of members who will be under
one central board clothed with the
power to call national and Inter
national strikes.
...
We may not like the prospect—l
don't. We may try to convince our
selves that differences of race, differ
ences of language, differences of con
ditions and differences of ideals, com.
bined with jealousies and rivalries
among leaders, will prevent co-opera
tion and harmony between the work
ers of one country and the workers of
another, and that no questions could
arise big enough to induce the mem
bers in all lands to strike at one
time. My impression is that the
tendency is strongly and surely
toward a gigantic alliance of the na
ture outlined. (How long it will last
is another question.)
• • •
Have you been reading the fresh
labor troubles in Ireland and Eng
land? Because one company in Dub
lin would not discharge three non
union workers, thousands "came out"
and Immediately transport workers
In various parts of England struck
In sympathy. The latest cables talk
of a “general strike” throughout Eng
land, and the word "starvation" again
figures in the news, as it did so often
during the British strikes last year.
...
From a general strike in one coun
try to an international strike is not
so very far a cry—we had a taste of
it. you will remember, when the dock
workers struck in leading ports of
England, Scotland and Continental
Europe not so long ago.
• • •
This phase of the worlds trend
calls for serious thought. The sub
ject Is not pleasant, of course. But
to shut our eyes to it will not help
matters one tittle. Nor will scoffing
aid. I am convinced beyond a shadow
of doubt that the movement is on
the way.
• • •
What Is to be done about it?
• • •
Are the bankers statements true?
Do workers get too scanty a share of
what they produce? Is what my
friend called "the overhead charge"
too heavy? Must the present ar
rangement be changed? Can it not
last?
...
The phrase "overhead charge"
startles. Does it not conjure up
visions of a mass of struggling work
ers and a whole galaxy of well
dressed, high-collared, opulent gen
tlemen, enjoying the fruit of the
workers' industry, living in line
houses, sporting every luxury and
their women folk reveling in vain
ext ravagances ?
• • •
1 have no panacea for the world s
ills. 1 do not believe the gradual
drawing together of the world’s work
ers can be prevented.
• • •
But 1 do believe the ‘overhead
charge" can and must be reduced. 1
do believe the gap between employ
ers and employed must be lessened.
Labor must be given an interest in
the welfare of capital—as certair
large American corporations have
realized and have acted accordingly.
Expensive figureheads must go.
Colossal individual fortunes will not
be untouched on the death of their
owners.
• • •
Personally I have great faith in
the efficacy of inducing workers and
others to become investors, no mat
ter on how small a scale. Enable a
man or woman to save a few’ hundred
dollars and let the money be invested
in securities and see what a sober
ing effect it wall have upon senti
ments previously revolutionary. One
hundred dollars saved by thrift is
more conducive to worthy manhood
than the prospect of a thousand dol
lars from a national pension fund
• • •
Remove every possible cause of
discontent among workers. give
them an incentive to render the best
service that is in them, treat them
as human beings, and not as ma
chines, and remember always that
their vote counts as much as trie
multi-millionaire's. Do this, and al
though we may not hope to stop the
international banding together of
labor unions into one vast confed
eration under a commander-in-chief
and subordinate officers, yet there
will be less ammunition for militant
grievance-mongers to fire and les*
cause for an uprising among their
followers.
• • •
All this. T am conscious, is very
rambling, very disjointed and rer
haps unintelligible to some. Rut
even these dashed-of T-in-half-an-hour
reflections may stir up thought on a
subject that is coming nearer home
than the unthinking may imagine.
COTTON
NEW YORK, Sept. 21. —At the open
ing cf the cotton market to-day the list
was steady and first prices were at a
net advance of 2 to 8 points from the
closing quotations of Friday, but heavy
selling followed the upturn and pre
vented a full response to strong cables.
Offerings were attributed mostly to
longs, who took week-end profits.
After the call the list turned strong, as
a result us heavy buying by spinners
and some of the most enthusiastic bulls
were talking 14c early next week. This
resulted in a general covering movement
and oeffrings ebcame scarce and scat
tered. Prices climbed about 16 points
above the opening range and held steady
around the topnotch for a few minutes,
and then sharply on a renewal
of the early profit-taking, resulting tn
the market closing very steady, with
prices at a net advance of 6 to 16 points
from the final quotations of Friday.

Texas claim that damage has been

been beneficial in southern districts.

There are rumors of a Texas spot
house failure, which is thought had

strength, owing to re-buying of hedges.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: “Because many of the active
traders in the cotton market believe the
crop outturn will be moderate, consump
tion rather large, and Federal legislation
wholesome and constructive, and be
cause the low price people now fear to
trade, the steady undertone continues,
and the American rings regained lost
price ground yesterday. The movement
for the week was large in both direc
tions Four hundred and one thousand
bales were brought to tight, as against
334.000 bales last year, and 284,000 in the
year before. During the seven days
spinners took 205,000 bales, against
129.000 last year, and 139,000 bales in
1911.
"As a result, the world's visible Sup
ply American cotton Increased only
196,000, against 206,000 last year, and
243.000 bales two years ago. In spite
of all the summer gossip concerning
the lateness of the crop, the movement
from September 1 to date, amounts to
356,000, against 710,000 last year, and
706.000 bales in 1911, while takings to
date total 522,000, against 410,000, and
339.000 bales in tne comparative years.
"Thus the actual cotton season has
started off In a far more active way
than most of the talent expected, in
view of the moderate crop talk and the
freight reports to the effect that Euro
uean trade is on the wane and spinners
have refused to buy ahead.
"Hot. dry weather in the West un
doubtedly hastened maturity, and it was
anown in July that the consuming trade
would reach for the early receipts.
This combination of conditions easily
accounts for the record-breaking into
and out of sight movement thus far.
However, it does not necessarily supply
a guide to the fall and winter market."

Enthusiasm IsßunningHigh
In Pedalmobile Contest

“Gee, ain’t it a peach! Couldn’t I speed some if I had one of
them! How many are you going to give away, Mister?” These
are some of the remarks to be heard around The Georgian Office
where the big red “Georgian Flyer” is on exhibition—the one
just like The Hearst’s Sunday American and Atlanta Georgian
will give to each boy and girl who secures forty new subscrip
tions to the paper before October 1.
There are many earnest workers and the subscriptions are
coming fast. It would only be a wild guess now to say who will
win the first fifteen cars and receive the Charter Membership
Certificates to the Atlanta Pedalmobile Racing Club. These Cer
tificates will entitle the holder to compete in any or all races and
events to be held in the near future.
Pedalmobile Clubs are to be found in many of the large
cities, having been promoted by some of the largest and best
newspapers in the country. This sort of sport may be new in Ab
lanta, but in many particulars the Pedalmobile races are to the
children what the Auto races are to the grown-ups. In fact they
are handled a good deal on the same order and are interesting
to the parents as well as the children.
These little machines are not to be confined to pleasure
alone, but can be put to good use in many different ways. In
some cities carrier boys who have won Pedalmobiles may be seen
distributing their papers in them. All these cars are well-made
and serviceable and will surely gladden the heart of any boy or
girl who is fortunate enbugh to win one. /
These cars are now on exhibition in the window of O. C.
Polk Dry Goods Store, 29 Gordon Street; South Pryor loe
Cream Parlor, 353 South Pryor Street, and Imperial Tire and
Tube Company, 349 Peachtree Street. While attending the Odd
and-Ends Sale at Polk’s Dry Goods Company, be sure to notice
the “Georgian Flyer” in the window.
OUTSIDE WORKERS.
A number of boys and girls outside of the c.iiy of Atlanta
have sent in their application blanks and are now working earn
estly to obtain one of the handsome little cars. The Pedalmobile
man will be glad to send subscription blanks to more honest hust
lers who would like to own a Pedalmobile. '
Just fill out the application blank below and full particu
lars will be mailed you at once.
