A headline in the Rome Tribune 1
says ‘moonshiners threaten to kill;
preacher." The paper does not state
whether he is to be shot or furnished
with ’shine.
If Lenine has been killed as many
times as press reports had it, he must
certainly be a feline in this particular
respect, except that he' has been kill
ed more than any nine times—more j
like nineteen hundred.
Mayor Cowart is real angry with j
Jet Bowden. Ware’s representative,
for asserting that troops were not
needed at Waycross. Jet will talk —
remember he is an auctioneer as well
as a legislator.
The Georgia editors have come and
gone. They have seen Brunswick, her
people and her port and we expect
that they have learned the real .acts
in connection with the state port ter
minal matter.
The highway bills, four in number,
s synopsis of which was printed in
The News yesterday morning, will
certainly pass and this will be the
means of putting Georgia foremost
among the states of the union noted
for their perfect highways.
Secretary Hoover predicts a coal
shortage for the coming winter. It
seems that the lack of coal will be
felt by the railroads and other great
industries long before even frost falls
if the small supply now on hand is
not added to by mining activity.
There is comfort in the fact that
states have a right to seize and oper
ate coal mines, with or without the
consent of the operators or miners
and some of the coal state governors
will have backbone enough to see
that the people of their states and
the industries shall not suffer for
want of fuel.
The strike situation, like every oth
er matter of extreme importance
handled, or rather, tried to be han
dled, by the Harding administration,
has proved to be a failure. But the
fact that individual railroads will now
negotiate directly with their former
employes indicates that we may soon
expect settlement, in some Quarters at
least.
It seems that Representative J. E.j
T. Bowden has stirred up a hornet’s ]
nest in his statement that troops arc .
not needed in Waycross. Fact of the ■
matter is officials of Waycross and;
Ware county have insisted that the
guardsmen remain there for awhile a:
least. The information also conies
from the Magic City that martial law
may yet be declared there.
The Georgia senate, following a de
bate lasting some hours, has passed
a bill making burglary punishable by
death in this state. Several states;
have such laws at present but this j
does not seem to decrease th£ number ;
of such crimes. When a burglar de
sires to pull off a job he does not;
fear the law and .we are 'afraid that j
the new statute, if it really become: j
a law. will servo to give those charged
with thin crime too much of a bench!
of the doubt which will result in caus
ing many who sholud be punished to
escape it.
A bill has been introduced in the
legislature to authorize counties to,
make appropriations for the employ-|
ment of county demonfctration and;
home economic agents, the supreme l
court having rendered a decision sev j
eral months ago that county board
had no such authority. We are pleas !
ed to npye that this important matter i
is to be seltled ashnany-Sol'-nties ,U|iv '!
been , gteatly benetitted by the Work |
of thes e agents and that they kill con
tinue throughout the? -state, if the]
measure really becomes a law. is cor- j
tuinly the desire of those citizens |
who would see their community pros
per.
A MUDDLED SITUATION.
The little ray of sunshine behind
the dark clouds of the railroad strike,
is the information sent out from
! Washington and Chicago that execu
tives and workers would likely have
• conferences and adjust # tlieir differ
ences if this could possibly be done
and, for example, the Florida East
Coast employes had no trouble in
reaching an agreement with execu
tives of this great railroad system,
the result being no strike, no public i
inconvenience, no defiance of law, in
tact, it was only a few days after the i
great strike was called that settle- 1
ment was made by the terms of which
iall parties are satisfied.
A nation-wide railway wage scale is
not feasible. Living conditions are
so different in this great big country j
that a dollar in one section may be
: worth only fifty cents in another. This:
] leads to the belief that the separate;
} settlement will prevail. Each railroad
: official and each worker knows just
what conditions are in the territory
through which the line traverses and
with no interference from outside
|sources, there will b e little difficulty'
lin reaching agreements by which nor
! mal transportation wiil be restored j
Mo the country again.
But with the coal strike the situa
; lion is entirely different. Operators 1
i both in bituminous find) anthracite ;
fields, hav e agreed that the President
shall act as arbitrator. The workers
absolutely refuse to hear to such a I
| suggestion rind President Lewis, of ]
'the Mine Workers’ union, seems to]
jdefy the government, says the mines
shall not be operated unless union la
] bor does the operating and the matter
stands right there.
In the meantime our great transpor
tation lines are crippled, only to a
slight extent at present to what they
will be. our industries are closing ev-;
ery day for lack of fuel and when win
ter comes the suffering will be great
■and especially so in the northern,
] eaijtef-n and jmany ,of rtie western
'■ states as well as some few in the
; south.
Where is it going to end anyway?
'why the railricad strike is
NOT SETTLED.
"The informal conferences held by
i Chairman Hooper of jhe Railroad La
i bor Board recently with several rail
; way executives and representatives of
the striking shop crafts’ Unions has
made clear there are five matters up
on which these railway executives
and the labor leaders differ widely,
and which must be settled before the
rstrike can be terminated,” says the
Railway Age. “The five major points
involved and the positions taken by
;the railway executives and the labor
.leaders in these conferences are as
j follows:
Fast: Wage decisions of .he Labor
Board. The labor leaders insist that
before the men will return to work
th e railroads must agree to pay wages
different from those awarded by the
Labor Board. The railway executives
have positively refused to consider
paying any wages except those aware ’
ed by the board, but have indicated
that the railways will be represented
at any further hearings that the board
may hold, and will accept such modifi
cations, if anv, in the wage awards
as the board may hold reasonable af
ter hearing.
“Second: Rules and working condi
tions. Tile labor leaders demand that
the railways agree to modifications of
the working rules made by the Labor
Board as a condition of calling off the
strike. The railway executives have
positively refused to consider this, al
thought indicating that if any modifi
cations of the rules should be mad?
by the board after further hearing,
they would be accepted. The position
of the railway executives who have
eonftrred with Chairman Hooper has
been that for the railways to grant
to the strikers any rules or wages not
authorized or fixed by the board would
be to concede, in response to the use
! of force, more than the employes were
able to secure by peaceful means. For
the railways to let the labor unions \
get by force what they could not get
by arbitration as prescribed by law
wolud be directly to encourage the use ;
of force in future labor controversies.
“Third: Contracting of work. The
j labor leaders till claim that this is
j one of the principal matters in con
troversy. Samuel Gompers. president
|of the American Federation of La
; bor. in an interview published in ihe
I newspapers July 11 made the state
ment: ‘The railroads,, in ignoring the
; board’s decision on repair work coa
! tracts, are violating the Transporta
tion Act because that Act specifically
j provides that such repair work shall
not be let to outside contractors,' Mr.
j Gompers’ statement is entirely false,
j .yqithcr the Transportation Act nor
I any other law’does or ever did sped;
I finally provides' that the railways
j hor.ld not let repair work to outside
' ontractors. Furthermore, all the rail-
I ways except two which have done oon-
| trading of the kind against which th?
Labor Board has ruled have agreed
to discontinue doing so in compliance
iwith hte board’s request.
“Fourth: Boards of adjustment.
The labor leaders have succeeded In
making many people believe that the
railways have refused to establish
bond’s of adjustment as provided by
'the Transportation Act. The facts,
ar e as follows: The Transportation
Act provides (Section 302) that Rail
road boards of labor adjustment may
; he established by agreement between
any carrier, group of carriers, or the
carriers as a whole, and any employes
; or subordinate officials of the carriers,
or organizations, or group fo organiza
tions thereof.’ The leaders of the
shop crafts have demanded th e estab
lishment of national boards of adjust
ment by the ‘carriers as a whole.’ The
railways hav e insisted on th e esiab
lishment of boards of adjustment rep
resentig only each carrier and i,s own
; employees, but the railway executives
j who have conferred with Chairn-as
Hocper have indicated willingness to
■ establish regional boards of adjust
ment with the shop crafts as they
have with the train service employes.
Either local, regional or national
boards of adjustment would be in com
plete accordance with the Transporta
tion Act.
“Fifth: Seniority and pension
rights, etc. The labor leaders insist
that all men who have struck shall
be taken back with the same seniori
ty. pension and other rights and priv
ileges which they had before they
struck. Most of the railways individ
ually have publishtd advertisements
and posted notices to the effect that
strikers who did not return to work
within designated periods would lose
all these rights and privileges and
have to return, if they returned at all. I
as new men. The men who have stay
ed at work or gone to work during the
strike have prior upon the
companies, the establishment and rec
ognition ojf which are based upon
working rules which the striking
unions themselves have got adopted.
For th e railways to let the strikers
come back with all their old rights
and privileges would be to encourage
still more men to strike when there
is another controversy.
"The public cannot, in its own inter
est. sanction any settlement based or.
wages or working conditions except
those established by the Labor Board
It cannot .rationally sanction contin
nance of a strike against all the rail
! ways of the United States oecause two
persist in contracting work. It can
I not sanction continuance of the strike
I because the raifways will not estab
iish rational boards of adjustment
when the Transportation Act
vines for local and regional boards '•!
adjustment. Nor, it would seem, can
it afford to yield to labor leaders’ dc
Inlands that men who have struck
against the decisions of the Railioad
Labor Boafd shall be taken back Int
| seivice with right and privileges su
perior to those of men who have ac
cepted these decisions and stayed at
work."
A MENACE TO EUROPE.
Ousted royalties make a problem ir
I several European states. It is one
thing to ‘ iv e a king from his throne
deprive him of his robes of office, hit
crown and scepter, and another thing
to get rid of the influence of the dy
nastic system. The republicans of
Bavaria feen keenly the difficulties
raised by the continued presence c
members of the Wittelsbach family
long its sovereign house. So ther
has been introduced in the Landtag’
! a bill providing for expulsion Iron
’ Germany of all make members of fam
ilies w'hic-h. under the old system,
would have a claim upon the throne
The idea is evidently to exclude
from German soil every royalty of ev
ery kingdom and principality of the
former empire who might become pr
iitically a nuisance. Getting them <>.
?r the border and providing penauif
to be imposed should they violate tin
exclusion law is theoretically sound
but is practice it hardly would provld
the security against monarchist plot
: tings or the fear of them which i
j sought.
The Hohenzollerns make a case ir
point.
Small likelihood is there of the exilf
at Doom or her eldest son trying t:
‘‘stage a comeback." since they have
opponents other than German to fee.
if they venture away from their re
treats. Nevertheless their mere e x
istence is a constant menace to poll*
ical order in Germany. Exiling the
royalties of other states will not have
better effect so long as there remains
any considerable amount of ancient
royalty to the monarchical system.
T n themselves the dethroned kings
and their heirs, apparent or presump
•ive. constitute no threat against the
new governments. They possess no
power to re establish the old order.
The danger arises from the persist l
PiH'tr of habits, thought -.contracted
centuries ago and confirmed in the ex
perience of many generations. It is
not unnatural that large numbers of
Germans, as of other people train?'
under the monarchist system, shea'
prefer it to the type if governor

which the fortunes of war have
brought them They would not alter
their views were all the ex-royalties
executed. It is their desire for restor
ation of the old which constitutes the
menace to the new. And there is no
way of removing it save through de
monstrating the :u; priority of the
democrat!' system.
