PLENTY OF WORK FOR ALL.


When the government took over the
operation of the railroads, the ques-
ton was frequently asked as to what
would become Of the development
agents, freight solicitors and other
men engaged in similar capacity on
the many railroads of the country. 1t
was assumed that the taking over of
the reads by the government would
leave many of these men without jobs
But this assumption appears to have
been premature, at least At recent
conference in Washington it was de-
cided to maintain the field agencies,
freight solicitors, branch managers,
development agents, ETC., on all of the
Southern roads, and put them at work
as a great organization to serve the
SOFoIuAnShL dAu INC puuAiC.
In stead of putting forth their eff
forts to secure business for their re-
spective roads as formerly, these men
will now be employed in showing the
people how to cooperate in getting
the best and quickest service from
the railroads. They will be kept in
the field to advise shippers how to
make their shipments to best adyan-
tege, to advise them of embargoes, to
show them how to get the quickest
service and how they can. help make
the unified operation of the roads an
important and efficient aid in war
work
The important work to which this
great force of men will be directed
will be in aiding the farmers to raise
such crops as are most essential to
the successful prosecution of the war,
in which capacity they will act as an
auxiliary to the field and county
agents of the agricultural department.

LOOKING FOR ANOTHER ENEMY.

enemy?
His action in extending the sub

that he is
The latest submarine order takes in
the Cape Verde Islands, Dakar in
French Senegal and the Island of Ma
deria. This new order virtually cuts
off Spain, the only neutral left in
southern Europe, from communica-
ton with either North or South Amer
lea.
Spain has been both consistent and
persistent in its attitude of neutrality
and has borne much in the way OF
shipping loss and commercial curtail
ment at the hands of the Kaiser's gov
eminent. So far Spain has passed
the violation of international rights
with mere protest against such wan,
ton action, but it is hard to see how
she can let this last act, aimed at her
only outlet for commerce with the
western hemisphere, go by without
vigorous action.
Having forced the greater part Of
Europe, the United States and most OF
the South American countries into
the alliance against him, the Kaiser
now seems determined to align the
last strong European neutral in the
coalition against Prussian aggression

A COLUMN OF CLIPPINGS
Newspapers For Harris.
The Savannah Press says:

! The Savannah Press says:
| Hon. William J. Harris, in his race
for the United States senate, seems
! to have won the support of practical
ly all of the daily newspapers of the
state, according to the list prepared
by the Americas Times-Recorder. It
finds the following daily papers sup
porting the chairman of the federal
! tt ade commission in his ambition to
become the successor of Senator Hard
who is an impossibility as a senator
to all loyal Georgians:
Savannah Press, Savannah Morning
News, Macon News, Macon Telegraph,
! Brunswick News, Brunswick Banner,
Rome Tribune-Herald Athens Ban
her, Columbus Ledger, Columbus En-
quirer-Sun, Albany Herald, Thomas
vile Enterprise, Thomasville
Press, Waycross Journal-Herald, Dub
lin CourierDispatch, Griffin News and
Sun, Americas Times-Recorder.
There are but seven daily papers in
the state that are either opposed to
! Mr.. Harris or have not announced for
any one. They include all three of
the Atlanta papers. The Georgian has
all but announced for Hardwick, while
the other two have been flirting with
| the chances of various and sundry
sons of Georgia in connection with
+, the vacancy which must be filled this
summer The Moultrie Observer has
| shown very strong leanings in the di-
rection of Senator Hardwick, while
both the Augusta dailies have been
non-committal up to this time
AS for the weekly newspapers with
their far-reaching influence in the ru-
raj sections of the state, they are very
largely for Harris. 1t does appear, as
The Press has said, that the people
want to send Harris>to the senate, and
The Press believes as strongly as ever
it did that what the people want they
usually get. Harris is very strong in
Savannah and this section of the state,
and he is getting stronger.

PROFITEERING THE SOLDIERS.

Attorney General Gregory has de
clared that the country holds no mean
er traitor than the man who endeav-
ers to make money from the prosecu-
ton of the war.
This statement is true.
Profiteering in the necessities of the
private individual is bad enough and
merits the severe criticism of the at
torney general, but profiteering at the
expense of the men who have enlist
ed to fight the battles of America is
still worse, yet every visitor to can
Torment city must have noticed such
evidences of profiteering against the
pocketbooks of the officers in the ma
tional army.
Every window gazer" in a canton
ment city must have noticed the at
tractively displayed officers uniforms
and outfits, the overcoats with their
epaulets and insignia, the caps and
hats and suit cases, especially design
ed for the officers comfort and con
venience. If the gazer is observant
he has noticed also the price attach
ed to the suit or overcoat or suit case,
and he has been impressed with the
fact that while clothing for the civil
ian is high enough in all conscience,
the outfiters for the army and navy
officers have trebled or quadrupled
the price charged civilians for simil-
az articles
The private soldier and the non
commissioned officer gets his outfit
from uncle Sam, but the commission
ed officer, from second lieutenant
up, must pay for his, and when he
learns something about the high cost

STANDARDIZING WAGES.

The war has brought about many
radical changes in the industrial af-
fairs of the nation, but none has
been more pronounced or promises
to have more far reaching results than
the effort of the government to stand
ardize wages in the shipbuilding
plants.
When the government took control
of sthe shipbuilding plants, it was
hoped that the effect would be to
greatly speed up the work of the yards
through the general supervision of
the shipping board, but the board
quickly found itself handicapped by
two serious problems-strikes ON the
Ole hand and the practice of steal.
| ing labor on the other.
Wages paid by the numerous yards
varied greatly, and the poorer paid
employees were prone to strike for the
same wage as that paid in the high,
er wage paying yards On the other
bond, employers anxious to complete
their jobs in the shortest time possible,
resorted to the system of stealing
labor" offering bonuses to secure
workmen from other yards. AS the
combined result of the two evils, near
ly all of the yards were constantly
in turmoil and the work Jagged while
the need of shipping increased.
To remedy these evils, the shipping
board decided to standardize the
wages of the employees of all yards.
To do this the country has been
divided into districts and the adjust,
ment board standardizes wages for
each district separately.
In most cases this means the level
ing up of wages to the highest scale
paid by the most generous employers,
but there have been some cases in
which employees of the highest paid
yards have had to stand wage reduc-
tons.
The board is having an investiga-
ton made by the bureau of labor sta
tistics to determine by the increase in
the cost of food, clothing, rent and
other living expenses. Reports are
to be made every six months and
wages will be automatically revised
to correspond with the increase or
decrease in the living cost.
Should this system work out sue
cessfully, eliminating strikes and do
ing away with the practice of "steal-
ing labor" it may be expected that
the plan will be extended. to cover
the entire field of American industry.
Private employers and workers in
Industrial establishments will do well
20 watch the workings of the plan in
the shipbul'd.ng plants for they may
soon be called upon to adopt similar
methods.
