STRIKE REPORT FILED
Umpire Wrght's Decision
With Secretary Nichols.
VARIOUS GRIEVANCES
MAY DISCHARGE EMPLOYEES
w1rHoyr NAMING CAUSE
Companies Should Take Back Old Men
Instead Of Employing New If Former
Are Not Guilty Of Crime.


The following dispatch was received from
Scranton, Pa. last night: Mr.. Carroll D.
Wright. the umpire to whom was referred
the five disputes between the operators and
miners representatives on the board of
Cancellation, appointed under the provisions
of the anthracite mine strike commission,
fled his findings today with 7. D. Nichols,
secretary of the board.
In dealing with the question of the en-
ployers' right to discharge men for any
cause other than that connected with
labor union. Umpire Wright agrees wholly
with the contentious of the operators rep
resenta tives, and declares that the right
of an employer to discharge without giving
the cause of the discharge Is sustained
by the award of the commission. AS to
the rockmen's dispute the umpire says
they do not come under the award.
The complaint of Thomas Tanner is not
sustained in regard to the allegations OF
discrimination on the part of the Lehigh
Coal and Navigation Company and COKE
Brothers g. Company. He says that these
companies should take back old men, IN
stead of putting on new men. In all cases
where the old men are competent and nave
not been convicted, or are not awaiting
trial for a crime committed during the
strike.
The umpire's findings cover twenty-five
pages Of typewriter paper. The resume
prepared by the Cancellation board for the
PRESS reads as follows:

Resume Of Grievances.

Grievance No. 17-Complaint of Thomas
Tanner that he was receiving less wages Tor
ten hours per day than he had received Tor
q twelve-hour day previous to the strike.
He received previous to the strike $1.SS per
day for twelve hours. On April l his hours
were reduced from twelve to ten and his
wages to $1.T per day. The Wit per DAY
includes an advance Of IL 10 per cent on
his former rate Of wages. The miners rep
resentatives on the board claimed that he
was entitled to the same days wages TOT
nine hours as he had formerly received Tor
twelve. The umpire decided that mo In
justice had been done Mr.. Tanner. His en-
ployers have in his case carried out the pro-
visions of the award Of the anthracite coal
commission"
The petition Of Thomas Tanner, the ref
cree, Is not sustained.
Grievance No.aS-Claim Of discrimination
against Coke Brothers & Co. by employees
who were not reinstated when work was
resumed, as per agreement signed by the
superintendent of the company. Mentioning
one of the compliments named Harry Bro
sius, the umpire says: Il find that in the
case of Harry Brosiua Coke Brothers ought
to give him employment" Regarding the
case as whole. she says: 1.-THE opinion is
therefore, rendered that all the men en-
ployed by Coke Brothers & Co. at the time
of the strike in 1902, except those who have
been convicted for crime committed during
the strike, or who are still under arrest, or
to whom employment cannot be given on
account of new machinery, or who are In
competent, ought to be preferred to new
men in giving out work when they apply
therefor"

Discrimination Charge.

Grievance No. r1Q.--complaint of discrim-
nation and blacklist of employees of the
Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company who
were not reinstated at the ending of the
strike. The umpire decides that it has not
been shown that the men were discrim-
mated against on account Of membership
in the union but Is of the opinion that
the discrimination existed against a small
number of men, and makes the following
statement:
What the motive of the discrimination
has been 1t Is impossible to decide, but
1 am clearly of the opinion. as in the case
of Coke Brothers & Co., that the Lehigh
Coal and Navigation Company ought to
give preference to all their old men-those
employed prior to the strike-who have not
been convicted of crime committed during
the strike, or are not now under arrest
awaiting trial or are not Incompetent or
have not been guilty Of msdemeanor to
render their employment undesirable. The
terms Of the submission and the language
of the award made under it make this con-

Unjust Discharge.

Grievance No. 45.-Complaint of unjust
discharge of William Mowry against the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron
Company Leading up to the final award,
the umpire says:
Taking the rulings of the court, the as
sertion of the anthracite coal strike COM
mission. the clauses in the agreement made
by and with the United Mine Workers Of
America, and the admissions of the differ
ent members of the board of Cancellation,
whether on the one side or the other. there
can be no doubt that a man has right to
quit the service of his employer whenever
he sees fit, with or without giving any
cause, provided he gives proper notice, and
that the employer has perfect right to
employ and discharge men in accordance
with the conditions of his industry; that
he is not obliged to give any cause for
discharge but that he should. as in the re-
verse case, give proper notice.
Right Sustained.
This right to discharge must therefore
be sustained. Any other view Of the case
would result in compelling men to work
for an employer when they did not wish to
do so. and thus enslave them, while, on the
other hand, it would compel employers to
employ men whether they had work for
them or not, and whether the men were in
competent or not, and would thus stagnate
business and work to the injury of all other
employees.
He finally says:
THAT In the particular case OF William
Mowry it would have been better and more
judicious If the foregnan had kept better
control of his temper and thus allowed
Mowry to behave more reasonably.
"All discharges, as'an ceasing of work,
should be made onfa reasonable basis. The
employer and the cAmRloye should treat each
other with justice and with desire to pre-
serve peace. In accordance with award 4,
attempts should be made in an such cases
to adjust the matter between the employer
and the employees. affected, and such at
tempt was not made IL this case" To this
extent, therefore, there was a violation Of
award No by tsith 1he petitioner and the
respondent. - G

derboIt Route and One hundred

BLUM Route-Reports of the Car
rIers.
The two rural delivery routes start
ing out from Savannah and covering
distances of about twenty-five miles
each daily, have already proven popu-
lar and a great convenience to the
people. Not only does the system ben
eft those who live on the route of the
carriers, but also many of their friends
and the merchants from whom they
buy supplies, and many others. New
mail boxes are constantly being add
ed along the routes and advantages of
a daily mail are being experienced and
appreciated more as the efficiency and
reliability of the system is shown.
The carriers for the two routes, one
of which goes to White Bluff and the
OkDcT 10 1nQIQEtUOll anu VI AAOP1B
make daily reports of arrivals and de-
partures at the postofice, and a glance
is sufficient to show that the twenty
five miles are covered in a reasonable
time and very seldom have failed. For
some local reasons there have been de-
lays, occasionally, but the rule is that
the carriers get in just about the same
time every day, and this within the
time allowed for the trips.
The ThunderbOlt route takes in that
town itself, Montgomery, Isle of Hope,
Beaulieu, Bethesda and other points.
There are $50 persons on the route VINO
depend upon the rural delivery for their
mail Their are 140 houses along the

The White Bluff route has 115 houses
and 400 persons depending upon the
system. The little boxes that are
placed near the gates get not only the
letters that are brought to the place,
but also receive the mail outgoing and
the carries takes it back to the city
in time for the night mail trains.
To show that the rural mail delivery
is popular and growing in Importance,
the following figures are given of the
two routes: Delivered in February, l.

letters. Delivered in June, 1920 letters;
collected for transmission from Sa-

BILL TO AMEND
GARNISHMENT LAW.
Discussed by Treasurer Marshall of
GrOcers' Annexation.

Discussed by Treasurer Marshall OF
GrOceFs' Association.
Mr., F. H. Marshall. treasurer of the
Retail Grocers' Association, has re-
turned from Macon, where the annual
convention has just concluded its work
and yesterday talked pleasantly on the
work accomplished and the objects in
view
The convention. he said, was well at
tended and the business disposed of
was of great interest. Among the
pleassat features of the occasion was
the banquet that was served Thursday
night. This was given, Mr.. Marshall
said, by the proprietors of well
known prepared food product.
Talking Of the new garnishment bill
that the association has just sent to
the Legislature, Mr.. Marshall said that
every retail merchant in the state OF
Georgia was interested, without regard
to the nature of the business. The new
law proposed will place working men
upon the same basis, and will prevent
the hiding of a large class of mechan-
les and others who earn excellent sala-
ries.
Under the present law a clerk who
spends perhaps fifteen or sixteen hours
a day bending over a set of books or
waiting in a store is liable to have his
stipend garnished. and the railroad en-
gineer entering himself as a ''labOrer,"
although perhaps working eight hours
and earning three times as much as
the clerk, is not liable. The new law,
said Mr.. Marshall, would iatiict no
hardship upon honest men, but would
prevent the merchants from being
robbed by INSCRIPTIONS men.
The retail grocers, said Mr.. Marshall,
pay more in taxes and licenses to the
city than any other branch of bust
ness. 1t is true in Savannah and else
where, and 1t is only right that they
should have some protection, he be-
lieves. The Retail Grocers' Association
will meet next year in savanna about
the middle of July. The date will be
arrounced later by the loca branch
of the association.
Messrs. c. A. Munster and H. ]
Sutcliffe, who attended the convention
from Savannah also returned home.
