The pea'ches on the St. Simon beach
will be lonely these star-lit evenings. l
with the soldier boys away.
President Harding Has found out, as
other chief executives have done, that
adjusting a strike with Kid gloves on,
is an unusu. 1 and difficult Aunt to pull. I
Roosevelt and Wilson, all made the
same discovery.
The bill to provide a commission to
try and save the A., B. & A. railroad i
from the junk man. has passed the :
state senate. It is our opinion that I
the A. B. & A. is making rapid strides j
in the direction of saving itself. I
We agree with Governor Hardwick)
that it would have been bad policy to |
have repealed title tax equalization]
law, without supplying something bet-!
ter. But we do not agree with him *
that those who thing to the 'contrary
are without character and brains. j
The movement launched by the local I
D. 'O. K. K. organization for a great!
Labor day celebration in Brunswick!
is a splendid one and we sincerely hope
the widest sort of cooperation will be
extended by all of the civic organiza
tions of the city and tiiat the occasion
will prove to be a real success.
Senator W. J. Harris, who is at pres-j
ent in the state for a few days, has!
been invited nd has accepted the in- j
vitation to address the general assent-]
bly of Georgia on Tuesday next. He:
will probably give an account of his j
stewardship. Senator Harris is mak-i
ing the state one of the best senators!
she ever had
Brunswick has reasons to be pleased!
with the splendid praise that comes I
from the state guard officers who havej
been in command at St. Simon for the!
past ten days, as to the advantages
possesed by that island for camp site
purposes. The truth of the matter is;
that St. Simon is an ideal camp site,!
as every military man who has visit
ed it will bear evidence.
You should remember that the time
is growing short now for securing
your policy in the North American
Accident Insurance Company. It costs
absolutely nothing—just take The
News for one year, pay $7.50 for it and
the policy will be issued instanter.
We want to express our sincere ap
preciation to the people of Brunswick
for the handsome fashion in which
they responded to the call to extend
welcome and aid in the entertainment
of th e members of the Georgia Press.)
Association. It was done in the usual
faultless Brunswick manner and that
our guest were delighted with their
visit, there is not the slightest doubt.
We very much hope that the city |
commission will find it convenient toj
issue that call for the St. Simon high-!
way bond election as early as possi-J
ble. The act lias been passed and j
signed by the chief executive of the j
state and it only remains for the peo-j
pie of Brunswick to finish the proposi
tion by voting for the issue.
Nebraska has climbed right into i
that Republican progressive hand wag-j
on and her voters a few days ago de
feated another Harding administra
tion candidate for the United States
senate and nominated an old Bull
Mooser. The thing seems to be chron

SOME FACTS ABOUT THE RAIL
STRIKE.
As has been pointed out more than
once in these columns, the issues in
volved in the railroad strike are un
usually clear cut and undisputed.
■ There- is, and. there has been, no rea
! son why the public should become von
; fused in the matter. Judging, how
| ever, from current comment, there
ar e not a few who insist upon “seeing,
as through a glass, darkly.”
IFven the Chief Executive appears to
be laboring under some misapprehen
sion. And more recently Mr. Jewell
has taken advantage of the opening
afforded him by th e President's procla
mation to address to the President—
and to the public—a message shot
through with half truths, evasions and
positive misstatements of fact.
! in order to make it certain that a
j tierfectly plain issue may not become
I beclouded by such tactics and by the
j muddled thinking of some who ought
]to kno wbetter, it is well once more
i briefly to summarize the facts of thej
i situation.
As to wages, the Labor Board, cre
ated by Congress to settle disputes, af-!
ter hearing all that the unions had to
say and after careful study of all per
tinent facts of the-situation, decided!
that it was just to the men and only!
fair to the public that on and after]
July 1 shop wages be reduced about
10 per cent. Such a reduction was put!
into effect. Th e unions demand a'
restoration of the old scale. They are]
striking, not against the roads but!
against a branch of the Federal Gov-!
eminent. ;
I The “evidence” which convinced
the Board that wages should come
down is irrefutable. Rates of pay on
the roads were far and away above
those paid hy outside concerns for sim
ilar work. Even after the July 1 re
duction, wages are well above the gen
eral level. Moreover, due to the de
crease in living costs, the purchasing
Power of rail wages even now is above
that of the peak in 1020. Retail prices
have fallen more than have rail wages.
,No denial of these facts is even at
tempted.
The whole case of the men as far
os it relates to wages rests upon the
contention that wages allowed under
the revest ruling of the Board do not
afford the basis (or an “American stan
dard of living.” What Mr. Jewell and
his cohorts demand is that railroad
shopmen must have food, shelter,
amusements and other comforts in
amounts far exceeding those the rest
of us can hope for.
Production of the good things of life
is limited, and nothing is mor e cer
tain than that there has never been,
is not now and will not in the near
future, enough to go around on the lav
ish scale the shopmen demand.
The demand of the shopment with
respect to working conditions is equal
ly preposterous. As everyone knows
to his sorrow, there was a veritable
orgy of working restrictions of the
most efficiency killing type during the
days of public control.
The Labor Board has been slow
enough in all conscience about restor
ing normal working conditions. To
allow them to start drifting back to
those exisiting under the old “national
agreements” would he a crime against
the public. Mr. Jewell and the rest
know perfectly well that their posi
tions on th e roads—if they can still be
sad to have any—are far more hedged
about with -‘protective” rules than any
in outside industry.
As to the outside contracting prac
tice, that is the noblest Roman of
them all. Mr. Jewell knows, and Pres
ident Harding ought to know, that not
only the few roads that hav e been or
dered to desist, but a great many more
before the strike began, offered as the
price of peace to waive what they con
sidered their rights in this mattre and
agreed to cease the practice. So. like
.v/ise, with the rest of the hundred or
o cases of alleged “defiance” on the
part of the roads. v
The plain fact is that in a very few
if any instances have the carriers fail
ed in good faith to abide by the rul
ings of the Labor Board. If the unions
are sincere in much of what they say.
why do they not confine their strike
to those roads which refuse to obey
the Board?
THE TARIFF BILL’S
ANNIVERSARY
Friday, last, was the first aunivar-'
sary of'the passage of the Tariff Bill
by the House. It is a day to he celc
brated with solemn ceremonies hy a
Republican Administration and a Re
publican Congress. It marks the
fcrowning achievement of the Republi
can party since its triumphant return
to power, and never again as the veals
roll round should it permit July 21
to pass with Presidential proclamation
and appropriate resolutions of congrat
ulation to the nation.
There have been many bad . Tariff
Bills, but never before one so irre
deemably bad as the Fordney-McCunv
ber Tariff Bill. Many times Congress
has muddled and dallied over tariff
legislation, but never before so long
and so hopelessly ?s over the Ford
ney-McOunrber measure. It was a vi
cious bill as the House passed it ex
actly a year ago. After a year
with the changes and amendments
mad e by* the Senate, it is nowhere so
bitterly condemned as within the par
ty that fathered it. For the first time
in the history of their party, leading
Republicans in Washington are asham
ed and afraid of a tariff measure for
which in desperation they fell bound
to vote.
j Th e House gave six months and two
! weeks to the preparation and discus
sion of the bill before passing it on
July 21, 1921. The Republicans of the
Senate Finance Committee spent eight
months and three weeks reshapihg it.
April 11 last it was submitted to the
Senate with 2,082 For
three months it has been open to pub
lic examination and to debate in the
: Senate, and th e Finance Commit teens
i still piling on new amendments by the
i score. So far barely one-half of the
hill has been considered, but on the
j facts of its inner history that have
! been revealed out of the mouths of
! Republican Senators, protectionists by
! profession and practice, it is a mixture
j Jf fraud, corruption and extortion.
A year from now, possibly sooner,
the Tariff Bill will be passed by the
! Senate. Nobody knows. Whenever it
j " ill l/e brought to passage it will be
through a combination of interests, in
dustrial, agricultural and political,
each working for itself. When the
time comes for them to reach the final
agreement on details Congress will
have proved its good faith in redeem
ing the party’s tariff pledges to the
campaign-fund contributors. That will
be another anniversary to celebrate.
THE LUMBER SITUATION.
The following from the American
Lumberman, is of interest:
“While the volume of lumber sales
is not so heavy as that of several
weeks ago, the total is large for this
season. Lumbermen speak of having
a very good seasonable business. It
13 true that many buyers are having
difficulty in placing orders to cover
their requirements—particularly as
they desire prompt shipments, almost
without exception. Unsold stocks in
manufacturers’ hands are unusually
email and, while in some districts they
are being added to, in th e aggregate
the reserve suplies are increasing very
1 little. Undoubtedly the volume of buy
ing has been curtailed somewhat by
the rail strike, but telegraphic advi.es
,io the American Lumberman indicate
that so far it has had little effect upon
lumber shipments. Here and there
difficulty is experienced in securing
cars, but on the whole the supply re
mains pictuiful. However, it is ex
pected that if the strike continues and
there is an increase in the number of
bad order'cars, and a heavy movement
of new grain to market, a car short
age will occur. This expectation is es
pecially likely to be fulfilled if full voi
ume coal mining is resumed. At pres
ent many coal cars are being used to
haul lumber, inasmuch as certain
grades and sizes ar e not damaged bv
exposure. Lumber production is not
increasing—in fact it seems likely that
it will dacr use. in some districts
'.here is ; shortage of labor which
makes it impossible to expand oper
ations, and in others a curtailment of
production has been necessary. In the
North, woods workers are particularly
scarce and a number of mills will
shortly have to close down because of
a shortage of logs. Softwood prices
remain firm. The tone of the hard
wood market is likewise firm, and cer
tain grades are being quoted at higher
1 prices.”'
One thing is very evident and that
lis that Governor Hardwick is not the
1 most popular man in Georgia, with a
certain percentage of the members of
the Georgia state senate.
