THE IMPENDING RAIL STRIKE*
It is very near impossible for one
to bring oneself to believe that in the
present status of affairs in this coun
try that an army of two million men,
representing the employees of very
near one hundred thousand miles of
railroads, will deliberately give up
their jobs and go to loafing, cm next
Sunday week!
We say it seems so remote from
reason and common sense Vait it ap
pears like some sort of a horrible
nightmore. The idea of this tremen
dous large number of men, in the face
of abnormajly bad condtiions and
with approaching severe winter
ahead, leaving their posts, with all of
the hardships that it will bring, not
only on themselves, but on hundreds
of thousands of others.
It’s inconceivable.
And yet, the “die is cast” the union
heads have said so and their action
says more. It says we will set at
naught the laws of this country and
we will violate the acts of emigres-?
creating the United States Railorad
Labor Board.
Where is the remedy?
It is in the President of the United
States and we cannot better answer
that self propounded question, than
to reproduce the following from the
pen of David Lawrence, well known
newspaper corespondent, who sees
this situation with a very clear eye.
He Says the only hope is in the Pres
ident and then proceeds as follows
Executive influence alone can
save the nation from a railroad
strike.
Both the railroads and the em
ployees have defied the United
States Railroad Labor Board, ere- •
ated by ' Congress for the very
purpose of avoiding strikes.
Where the fault lies is hard for
officials not In dally touch with
the situation to decide,
i The fact Is both sides have con
ducted propaganda designed to
show that the Initiation in ignor
ing the Railorad Labor Board lies
with the other.
And while the . quarrels have
gr'ovfrn more intense, while some
' of the railroads dn th > one hand
have goaded the employees to a
strike by declaring they were
ready to deal a body blow to
unionism, the employees on the
other hand have Insisted that if
they take a cut in wages the rates
must come down for freight and
passenger service.
Between the two stands the
public represented by a more or
less helpless group In the United
States Railroad Board, hut now
represented by the iajger influ
ence and power of the chief exec
utive —upon whose door step the
problem has been deposited—the
-ailroads confident that Mr. Hard
ing will force a wage cut and the
employees sure that the Presi
dent will not dare to use his exec
utive power to interfere In a la
bor controversy to their disad
vantage.
Tho employees know, moreover,
that In Congress the powerful ag
ricultural bloc has been trying for
months to force a reduction In
'freight rates and that the rail
roads will not escape this time
with simply a victory over their
employees if Congress takes a
hand.
President Harding has reduced
the matter to a simple formula In
that he recognizes that the Inter
state Commerce Commission, on
the one hand, which controls the
Income of railroads, and United
States Railroad Board, which
handles a large item In raHroad
mpopdlturo*--namnly wag**—
have much In common and that a
combined report from both agen
cies will assist in an intelligent
settlement of the problem.
For months the railroads hav*
been Insisting that they could not
reduce freight rate*. They con
vinced most everybody in the gov
ernment that they would be bank
rupt by July t. unless aid was
forthcoming from Congress, but
that aid has not been given and
now October is here with railroad
earnings picking up. The rail
roads have been making volun
tary redaction in freight rates,
but Mr. Harding, who has from
the first Insisted that rates must
come down, probably will not be
satisfied this time with promise*
of reductions, but will find a way
to make these reduction* effec
tive. *
The fact that nearly two week*
must elapse before the strikes or
der takes effect Is looked upon
aa giving ample opportunity for
negotiation*. Meanwhile the
word from railroad sources is that
a strike ran be fought and will
not paralvxe traffic. Gen. Alter
could be beaten by his read It
may be that his employe** wiM
■ot prove a* lw*l w> the unions
a* the leader* of the latter think.
4 *wttl be noted that the union
leads* batmgmtetpouad the strike
order on the Pennsylvania two
days beyond the date of the call
to the workmen on other roads.
This is interpreted here as mean
ing that it is hoped to influence
i reluctant employees on the Penn
i sylvania by the demonstrations of
strength on Western railroads.
Feeling between the railroads’
. executive? and the labor leaders
has been growing more intense
every day. The chances on re
conciliation between them are not
.doHsidered goodi Only the inter
vention of the executive can force
a withdraway of the Strike order,
but it will have to be accompan
ied by a reduction in freight rates
it Will get very far with
the employees.
BUILDING TO THE SEA!
Slowly, but surely, the whole state
of Georgia, from mountain to sea
board, is evincing a lively interest
in that great industrial development
now taking definite shape in Bruns
wick and Glynn county—the St. Si
mon bridge.
In its issue of Monday, the esteem
ed Atlanta Constitution, always a
staunch friend of Brunswick, devotes
the following leading editorial to the
subject, and displays a keen and live
ly interest in the ultimate success of
the movement:
“The movement now under way in
Glynn county looking to the construc
tion of a highway from Brunswick to
the ocean deserves, and no doubt will
receive, hearty support both of Bruns
wick and of Glynn county. Indeed,
the whole state is Interested in the
success of this undertaking.
Recently the state highway depart
ment completed an exhaustive recon
naissance of the whole situation,
making pareful surveys of several
suggested routes, and submitted al
ternative projects to the dounty high
way authorities.
County and city authorities got to
gether, studied both projects and unit
ed In approving one of them.
’Hie plart adopted calls for the con
struction of a causeway across th*
“marshes, of Glynn,’’ and the necea
wary bridges tc connect the city of
Brunswick with tit, Simon Island at a
point 2,000 feet south from the his
toric old Hilton and Dodge saw mill,
the total cost of which, according to
tho estimate submitted by the high
way engineers, will be about $200,-
000. '
It is proposed to divide tills cost
equally between the city and coun
ty, and to meet it by the bonding
method.
The county bond election is to be
bold within the next sixty days, but
the city election must necessarily be
deferred pending authority by the leg
islature next summer.
■'aeh bonding nroposal calls for
$176,000, the difference between the
aggregate and the amount of the esti
tvited cost of the Brunswiek-to-St,
Simon highway to be spent in good
reads construction on the island.
It is proposed that the county go
ahead with its part of the work as
soon as its tu*re of the cost money
become* avp ’ .bJe, tlie city to follow
a soon as ’the general assembly next
summer authorizes it to do so.
That the plan will go through is
virtually a foregone conclusion, for
thus far there has been no objection
raised against it and the sentiment
of the community affected seems to
be entirely in ils favor.
The Brunswick News has pointed
out in an editorial commending the
project—
The suggestion to make this
magnificent piece of improve
ment came from the Young Men’s
club and was originally suggestel
by Chairman C. Miller, of the
Glynn county commissioners.
The club gave it very cordial en
dorsement; the press of the city
has been unstinted In Its advo
cacy of the plan and progressive
Brunswick has embraced it, as
the most far-reaching public ques
tion now before u*.
It is an improvement comparable
o the construction of the remarkable
stretch of highway betweeu Darien
aud Brunswick, completed last sum
mcf. the Instigator and moving fac
tor Vack Of which was the Young
Men's Club of Brunswick.
This proposed improvement means
"inncKlo Brunswick than any other
*vpr undertaken, not even excepting
•he fvaTlen highwajfi
As The New* safe—
It will mean more to Brunswick
than anew trunk line railroad;
It wilt open up the best summer
resort in the southern states to
the people of the south and It will
increase property values in city
and In county.
Not only will it provide dtre-t auto
mobile highway connections betweeu
th‘ mainland and the ocean, but it
wHI *h*< Prfceftdc * Jpsmas quick
and cheap vehicular outlet for the
product* of the Island-—which, a* The
News truthfully says, “is a veritable
warden spot.” more than SD square
-ile* in extent, and which, * properly
tevelcped. weald become the greatest
THE BRUNSWICK Nfc Wo
asset- Brunswick has.”
“And,” the Brunswick paper goes
on to ray, “the only way to develop
it is to make it attractive and give
real value to it” by connecting it with
the outside world.
With such enterprising, public-spir
ited and alerat organizations as the
Young Club and the Rotary
club of Brunswick, back of it, this
wonderful project can
not fail.” I 10 '
’The of that peace treaty
with Germiny is in serious danger in
the United States senate. Many Dem
ocrats who were *at first counted on
to vote for it, have flopped clean over
and are fighting for it with ali of their
force. It is also true that five or six
Republicans are against it. S|> seri
ous is the situation that Republican
leaders have postponed a vote on’ tue
measure, fearing it would meet de
feat if voted on right now. The truth
of the matter is that the people of the
country are largely qopposed to this
unholy proposition and they have
been letting their representatives in
the senate know if.
