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 MAX TVTT.K, Do your Chirstmaa shop ping early.
