something he would certainly be
very glad to have.

AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA. GA
Speaking
... THE...
Public Mind
Ask the Teachers.
Augusta, Ga.
To The Herald:
The principal reason given bv the
Board of Education for decreasing the
number of Christmas holidays, is the
Inability of the schools to complete
the course of study. It seems to me
that the teachers should know whether
or not the required work Is being done.
Why not ask the teachers if the pupils
need the extra five days in order to
complete the course?
The teachers of this city are, as I
understand It, almost universally in
favor of giving two weeks.
Do you not think that the teachers
know more about the quantity and
quality of work that Is being done in
the schools than the men who com
pose the Board of Education, and who
very seldom come into the school
room ?
Ask the teachers! Q. B. X.
The Plumbing Controversy.
To The Herald:
In the pending controversy that ]
seems to have arisen between the !
journeymen and the employing or i
"master plumbers” the facts so far I
brought to light seem to reveal a state |
of affairs in this city that should com- I
pel every thoughtful citizen to "sit j
up and take notlee.” A careful perusal j
of the facts presented so far makes the
issue not one between the Journeymen
and the employing plumbers but a
matter of vital interest and concern to |
every Inhabitant of Augusta.
It appears that thu y aster plumbers I
are attempting to si w -ark the issue
by "calling names," Whether the j
chargOH made by the Journeymen '
plumbers “are vile and underhanded” i
is less important to the citizens who :
suffer from unsanitary plumbing, than |
the question of whether or not they |
are TRUE. When a body of men as- I
seriated for their own protection and j
engaged in service affecting the pub
lic health call attention to violations |
of a city's health ordinance and In- j
yoke the aid of the proper authorities |
to place the responsibility where it I
properly belongs, such men are pub- |
lie benefactors and deserve the plan- j
dits of a suffering community. Its a
question that has confronted cities in ]
every part of the country, and thanks !
to the farsightedness of health offi- I
cials regulations safeguarding the pub
lic health are placed above the private
Interests of greedy employers.
The fight the Journeymen plumbers i
are waging here and now, is part of
the general struggle that organized
labor is carrying on throughout Ihe I
country for the preservation of life j
and limb, of health and safety for the |
protection of Its own members and the i
public In general. The railway brother- i
hoods for years fought for the auto- j
matic coupler on cars. Its now the
law of the land, inspite of the deter- |
mined and obstinate opposition of the
railway corporations. For years the I
miners insisted upon laws safeguard
ing their health and well-being. They
won. Hardly a state in the Union hut
what has placed upon its statutes, laws |
designed to protect the workers In j
shop, mill and factory. Well does
the state recognize that the workers i
are the most valuable asset of a
community, and to the extent that the
protecting arm of the law shields them
from unscrupulous and rapacious em
ployers. the general standard of citi
zenry Is raised to a higher and more
efficient level.
I,et ub look at the facts fairly and
squarely.
We have here In this city two
separate and distinct organizations
parties to the controversy. One the
local organization of the “United Asso
ciation of Plumbers and Steam Fitters
of United States and Canada,” the
other, a local organization of the
“Master numbers Association.” Were
It not for the prefix of the latter or
ganization, any disinterested person
would he at a loss to tell the differ
ence as to the objects nnd purposes of
the two "Unions." Itoth organized
ostensibly for the protection of the in
terests of Its respective memberships.
Each one Instinctively feels that a
gain of the one Is a loss to the other.
The "master" plumbers insist that they
have an inalienable right to dictate
the terms nnd conditions under which
plumbing work shall be done in this
city They insist that they are quali
fied to determine the wages and the
hours of work of those whom they em
ploy. A very modest and unselfish
assumption. They desire no inter
ference" on the part of any one, least
of nil from those belonging to the "ri
val" union As far the public, they
hold with Cornelius Vanderbilt when
he uttered his classic “The public be
d
Upon the other hand, the union of
the Journeymen plumbers denies the
"fights" of the employers to do “as
they please” Their members insist
upon a “fair day’s pay for a fair day's
work." Their constitution and by
laws their rules and regulations pro
vide‘and insist that no man be quali
fied to do plumbing unless he hns
served as an apprentice for a term of
years and passes a satisfactory ex
amination as to his fitness to give
proper and efficient service. For whose
benefit? No one can successfully deny
that the “master” plumbers and their
customers, the public, would be the
chief beneficiaries of such rules.
Thumbing Is not and never can be a
matter of “private concern." since Its
functions and nature are social and
far-reaching In Its effect upon health
and public morals.
To my mind, the bugaboo of “union
domination" la the shop rest subterfuge
on the part of those who would foist
upon an unsuspecting public their own
shortcomings under the plea of "free
dom of contract" and who would sac
rifice the health, yes, the very life, of
women and babies In the mad rush
I for profits
l.et the “public mind” speak out and
protest T.ets place man above the
dollar, lets meet the Issue satrty and
I honestly And, ts the charges made
Iby the Journeymen plumbers of this
I city are proven true, let organized la
bor and Its friends Insist that the city
I through tts proper'hoards, provide such
rules and ordinances that will effect.
! ually safeguard the lives and property
of Its Inhabitants,
Respectfully
