FRAYNE OPPOSES
PLAN OF STRAUS
Labor Leader Says His
Idea Would Fail Like
Canadian Law

Another protest against the plan OF
Oscar S. Strsus. chairman OF the PUB
lie Service Commission, for a wage
board to settle street railway disputes
in New York City was registered by
Hugh Frayne, General Organizer OF
the American Federation Of Labor, at
the hearing yesterday.
Mr.. Frayne backed the opposition OF
Samuel Gompers, head Of the Amerl-
can Federation, declaring that organ
lied labor was against anything in the
nature of q compulsory arbitration law.
Strikes. he said, would continue until
there was a complete accord between
capital and labor.
Says Canadian Law Failed
II am" said he, familiar with the
Lemieux law, the Canadian compulsory
act, and / want TO say that it has not
only failed of its purpose-the proven
ton eff strikes-but has engendered
considerable sntagonism against those
in charge of the machinery Of the law.
What is actually happening in Canada
is that the Lemieux law is being disre-
garded in labor disputes and voluntary
mediation is generally resorted TO by
both sides
Mr.. Frayne declared that the law
governing the State Labor Department
at the present time makes for the pre-
vention of strikes by investigation.
He said that this law, which was not
compulsory, met with the approval OF
labor as well as capital.
Moreover" said Mr.. Frayne, 81 am
against that section of your proposed
plan which would leave to the wage
board the adjustment Of wages. That
is a matter for the employer and en-
ploye TO settle
Opposes Investigation of Unions
Answering a question Of Mr.. Straus,
who asked if he would approve of a
law giving the Public Service Commits
sion the right 10 investigate the unions
of the New York street railways with
a view to determining If they were
voluntary or not, Mr. Frayne said:
"The State Department of Labor now
has that right, and | don't think IL
would be wise or good for either the
State Department of Labor or the Pub
lie Service Commission 10 have powers
that conflict. Organized labor is against
all legislation that would compel them
to submit 10 others questions involving
their Liberties as individuals which
they have obtained after years Of
struggle"
Samuel McCune Lindsay, of Columbia
University, was the second speaker at
these hearings who went on record as
favoring the Straus plan. He said it
afforded an opportunity TO experiment
somewhat boldly along regulatory lines
and declared that if any progress is
ever made il will be through expert
mentation. The success Of the plan,
he added, if enacted into law would de-
pend on the ethical good will Of both
sides.

we make two market grades. We class
them as dig them. The seed is put ir
one pile and the eating potatoes in another.
This season we are making three grades: the
seeds. the jumbos, and the number ones. we
have found that the seed-potato business is
a thing of the past-there is very little money
in seed potatoes
Persons who grow potatoes, all have
their own seed and even if they did not,
few men in a community could supply all
the seed that might be needed for all the
others. We class the potatoes and put the
good ones in the house. The small seed pota-
toes we nut where we can feed them to the
hogs With a little corn they make excellent
hog feed.
Problems of storage and marketing should be
comparatively simple in Georgia this year AS to
the former, the State College of Agriculture is
prepared to furnish of charge to anyone wish
ing them plans for potato storage house which
is inexpensive and thoroughly dependable. For all
kinds of food crops, marketing facilities will be
more extensive in the seasons coming on than ever
before In many counties we'll organized efforts to
that end are already under way, farming and ousl-
ness interests having Joined hands for the com
mon good The Market Bureau of the State De-
partment of Agriculture is encouraging all such

support but if it to the people adequately
and as it desires to them, it must be given
reasonable appropriation by the next Legislature
Besides the agencies here mentioned numerous
others are at work to provide markets for Georgia
raised foodstuffs, notably the State Chamber of
Commerce whose efforts this line began three
years ago and are now being pressed with extraor-
binary vigor.
Sweet potatoes will share with other food crops
the advantage of these general developments and
in addition will have particular marketing helps
of their own Special efforts planned to estab-
lish Georgia yams broadly and firmly in the
favor of the northern market The time is oppor-
time because they are an excellent substitute, as
far as a substitute is feasible, for those edibles
which are dear and especially needed for expor-
tation Further, the sweet potato besides making
truly delectable DISH when rightly prepared, cor
stitutes one of the best balanced rations to be
found in any single product Of the soil. What has
been accomplished by Tennessee growers through
efficient methods can be accomplished by Georgia

The Country'S Response.

The wholeheartedness with which the country
entered into the duties of Registration day bears
splendid witness to the American peoples loyalty
and resouteness for the times of heroic test now
upon them. Ten million young men were ex-
pected to enroll for national service, and ten mil
lion or more came sturdily forward. Relatively
few Of these will be chosen to march with the col
ors: but they all have declared their willingness
to 60 and in one way another they will all help
IN win the war. The nations young manhood has
volunteered in mass to fight and labor for the flag
And back of them stand many millions more, ready
to serve howsoever they can.
Every section of the country has reason to be
nroud of its part in Registration day, the South

order in the entire Southeastern division, and
throughout Dixie the response to the Presi-
dents call for enrolment answered with
unanimity and enthusiasm. The splendid patriot

the hot June SUM- men stood in long lines waiting

ers no grumbIers: there were only men, stanch of
heart and ready for duty.
In every State of the Union the response was

ouence-a remarkable fact when one considers
the size and diversity of our population. The people
of the United States have spoken in terms which
leave no doubt that their hearts in the for

will be given to defeat and the brutal Prussanism
which has trampled upon their rights and which
threatens all things they hold dear.

There's deal of talk about will power among

But there's something much more essential to

Good Roads Results.

r. ali the stories of how good roads have en-
HANGED property values gathered together
they would make book far longer than the Thou
sand and One Nights and hardly less wonderful Be-
cause they are facts instead of fances and because
they abound in every State and county where high
way building is carried efficiently forward the re-
suits of good roads have come to be accepted as
commonpIaces. But they none the less part
and very important part of the nations prosper
ity and progress. From the press bureau of the
Dixie Highway Association comes this particularly
striking instance:
About three years ago. a farmer pur-
chased eighty acres about eight miles out on
a lateral road leading into the Dixie Highway,
having s22 so per acre. A dirt road led out to
his place The farmer and his family
completely isolated from town and their neigh
bors as soon as winter rolled around and often
times during heavy spring and summer rains.
Last fall the county, out of the proceeds of the
bond issue, built well-surfaced and drained
macadam road which was travelabe every day
during the past winter. This spring the farmer
went to one of the bankers in Winchester and
wanted to borrow some money his farm to
make some improvements An appraiser
semi to inspect the farm He told the
bank would gladly loan him $50 an acre on
his land"
It would be hard to find any other kind of
improvement that would increase a farms value
more than four hundred per cent within the
course of year. Some such result follows road build
ing wherever 1t is we'll done. Not simply few
individuals but the entire community profits, and
the community's total interests. 1t is gratifying
to see that in Georgia as in many other States
plans for highway extension and Improvement are
being pressed vigorously forward notwfthstand-
ing war conditions. This wise course should be
adhered to, because good roads will make the ma
tim stronger and more efficient for its tasks
