CAMDEN PHONE STRIKE
IS STILL DRAGGING ON

CAMDEN, Ark. May 6. lSpl For
z period Of So days subscribers to the
aocAi exchange Of the Southwesternd} ell
telephone company rave maintained "A
boycott OF some 500 phones formerly
IN use fewer than 30 are now ia Use,
The boycott was declared al IA mass
|ueetlng OF citizens following % strike
Dy The young women operators for
HlkheT wages. in January the local
rates were raised nearly 30 per cent
OttlCials Of the company gave as one
o. the reasons for the raise the state
ment that local employees would re
celVe an Increase in pay. The operators
subsequently demanded a raise Of $40
per month. Upon the COmpany's re-
tusal TO meet the demand, the operators
stopped working. Their places were
iilled within a few days by other OPP
orators imported from %neighboring
cities.
Citizens Immediately declared a boy
colt until the operators were r~einstated
AZ the increased scale. Efforts TO eff
rect a compromise on the part OF citi-
zens were fraitless. Postmaster-Gen-
erRl Burleson, upon petition, sent an in
spectOr here to make an Investigation.
The Inspector took evidence, promised
70 file 1t with the department and left
without Venturing an opinion or guess
as to the outcome. Nothing has been
heard from the government department.
Meantime local subscribers have wor-
RED along without their phones. In
struments in residences or bushes
houses are not used even for long dis
tance calls, but persons desiring to use
long distance lines go to the telephone
office to place their calls. Local mer-
chants state that their business has not
suffered. Outside OF the inconvenience
resulting from no phone service, the
city is apparently in normal condition.
Threats were made at first and an
attempt was made to throw eggs at
the strikebreakers, but no property has
been damaged up to date and local
officers apprehend no further trouble.
Both the citizens and the telephone
OFFICIALS are standing pat on their po-
sitibns.
The city council has passed three
drastic ordinances, taxing poles 81 per
year. providing a heavy penalty for
FAILURE TO secure n franchise from the
city Che old franchise expired some
months ago and the company did not
ask a renewal, claiming that no fran
chise Is necessary, and requiring the
company to remove its poles from main
or front streets. As yet no suits have
been filed to test the efficacy Of these
ordinances.
A local company has been organized,
with q capital Of $50, 900, and work will
begin In the near future on erecting
a home company. Practically all citi-
Zens have signed agreements TO sub
scribe to the home exchange for a
term Of five or more years. The Bell
company does not appear frightened
over the competition, however, and still
does about Il 10 per cent? business at
the old stand.

One Of the most important matters con-
gress ought TO take up ut its next session
is immigration.
All Europe tx in great economic straits.
good deal of Europe is in chaos. Conditions
for the poorer people are and will be hor-
rble America shines in their imagination
as the Land of Promise. Unless something
is done TO prevent it, there will be ire
mendous surge Of immigration labor TO
these shores in the near future, and our
national life will be demoralized.
This would bring lower wages, unem-
ployment, upheavals, riots and a general
condition favorable to the growth of crazy
Bolshevism.
1t is very simple task TO obviate this
IL Congress will go about it with common
sense.
Our present immigration laws are not
only practically imperfect, but vicious in
principle. They should be re-made at once.
The National Committee for Constructive
Immigration Legislation is making some
valuable suggestions looking toward the
construction of legislation upon right lines
The following points are outstanding:
/. Prompt action is necessary. But it
must not be In passionate haste. 1t must
he upon basis Of justice and guided by
intelligent policy.
2. All labor immigration with a few
necessary exceptions) should be suspended
for two years.
8. After that only certain percentage
Of each nation or race should be allowed
TO enter
T. This percentage should be applied i'm
partially to all races. To favor Africans

and Turks and exclude Chinese and Japanese
is not only unjust but absurd, vicious and
unnecessary. The end sought by the hu-
initiating exclusion of Orientals can be bet
ter gained in wiser way. With a per-
centage basis, fewer Orientals would be adj
mitted than enter under existing laws, and
unfair discrimination would be avoided.
5. Citizenship should be open TO every one
who qualities, without regard to race.
6. The standards of citizenship should be
raised.
7. A Commission should be created TO
supervise the whole matter and to make
exceptions where circumstances may re
quire. The law should be elastic, not rigid.
8. This Commission should give par
ticular attention TO the Distribution of i'm
migration labor. This is most vital. The
massing of foreign groups in certain sec
>tions is dangerous TO democratic institu-
TONS
9. All laws discriminating against the
Chinese, or other special races, should be
repealed They are disgraceful. The pur-
pose is good, the method is stupid.
These items of policy are self-evident:
1. Our country should be open to people
of every nation, with no preferences.
2. This influx, however we should limit
and regulate to suit our economic condi-
tons, but equitably to all, not differentially.
3. We should so arrange as to get the
cream and not the dregs of foreign peoples
that is 10 say, those who bring to US
health, industrious habits and desire to
build up our nation and not to wreck it.
Cannot Congress deal with this subject
with Craftsmanship, and not with Prejudice
and Partisanship?

Overtime for Carmen

The city councils attitude on the carmens re-
quest for overtime pay at the rate of time and half
can scarcely be called diplomatic.
1t bordered close to the dscourteous line yester-
day.
The carmen believe they have grievance. The
least the council can do is to have this grievance
fully considered instead of bringing them to the dis
cussion of possible strike
The carmen claim that everywhere in the u. s.
they are paid time and half for overtime 1t is true
that everywhere there is not any eight hour day.
such as in Seattle. Nor is it true that everywhere
are they paid as high a wage as here.
Since taking over the street carines the city has
raised their wages
Under present city ordinances, employees are
1ad the regular wage schedule for overtime, and not
me and half. Members of the Garments union,
iowever, contend that there are some departments
which get around this provision in some manner, and
do pay time and half. If this is true, and is done
with the councils knowledge, there is no reason why
the carmen should not be paid at the same rate.
The city must be model employer. 1t must not
be an autocrat. The abrupt adjournment taken by
the council yesterday when the carmen presented
their case, showed exceedingly poor judgment.
Secretary Baker is back from Europe. Soon Presf-
dent Wilson iH also return. IL IS quite possible that
the entire cabinet may hold reunion in the United
States time this year.
