Hard to Satisfy
Leaders of labor have risen up
in arms and are berating Presi*
dent Roosevelt because of his
declaration that those who de*
cline work when offered them are
to be stricken from the relief
roils. George Meaney, important
among labor heads, charges this
is a “work or starve’ order and
union members will not submit
to it.”
Which declaration is interest*-
ing in that it shows how difficult
it is to satisfy human nature.
Less than three years ago the
crying need,apparently, of labor
was an opportunity to earn a
livelihood. At the beginning of
time Providence had set upon
man the responsibility to earn
his bread by the sweat of his
brow. Labor pretended to be
anxious alone for an opportunity
to comply with this requirement.
Franklin Roosevelt took hold of
affairs ata time when it was
hardly possible for a man to find
a job at which to earn his bread.
He brought about drastic
changes, and from that day ti
the present labor has been in the
saddle. This success has made
labor more and more exacting.
Today labor leaders decry the
order of the President, which
they say means “work or starve,’
and declare that “union members
willnotsubmitto suchanorder.’’
We wonder why they won’t and
we wonder who should labor to
prevent union men from starving.

ATHENS AND AUGUSTA SECTIONS AHEAD!
ATLANTA PRESSING THE LEADERS
A-
Setting a pace that is far outstripping all other states east of the
Rocky Mountains, Georgia is making new records each month in
the use of electricity in the home. Now the whole eastern section
of the state has passed the 1,000 kilowatt hour mark.
For the first time in the history of the state, homes in 23 counties
in Northeast Georgia, the Athens division, went ahead of die 1,000 MORE I IGHT
kilowatt hour annual average per residential customer when May
figures were announced. With July figures now available, the Au- MORE LEISURE
gusta division with 17 more Eastern Georgia counties, has also at- FOR
tained that high ranking, with an average of 1,008.5 kilowatt hours. GEORGIA HOMES
Compare this with the average throughout the country of 648 kilo
watt hours — and you see that the homes in almost one-third of all
Georgia are more than 50 per cent ahead of the average American
home!
The Atlanta division, with a 994 kilowatt hour average, is push
ing for the leadership—the Macon division is next with 971.6—Co
lumbus has 910.4 — Rome has 857 — and the combined area served
by this Company, 45,000 square miles, is far ahead of the national
average and bids fair soon to pass the 1,000 kilowatt hour mark
as a whole.*
What does it MEAN to Georgians? It means that all the ad
vantages electricity brings, electric cookery, electric refrigeration,
ironing, washing, better light and the others, are being USED in
Georgia —for better living. It means that Georgia homes are FAR, Georgia
FAR ABOVE THE AVERAGE AMERICAN HOME 1
