ROAD MEN SOLID
FOR us. CONTROL
Bombardment Of Congress
with Petitions Only Begin
ming, Says Labor Leader.

Congress. thus far. has heard only
the first faint rumble OF the nation
wide movement of organized railway
employees in support of Director Gen
eral McAdoo's proposal for continued
Government control of the nations
railroads.
Secretary Scott, of the Railway EN-
ployes Department of the American
Federation of Labor, said last night
that the campaign extends from
coast to coast The petitions, reso-
lutions and personal appeals from
union employees now pouring in on
Senators and Representatives will be
vastly multiplied as the movement
gains full swing. he added
THE simple explanation of the
aggressive attitude OF organized labor
on this vital subject" continued Sec
retary Scott ''is that the railway
men Of the country infinitely prefer
Uncle Sam as a boss to the private
owner.
Uncle Sam Fair Boss.
1.-THE reason is that the government
has proven itself a just and fair en-
ployer. The men realize they have
gained under government control the
benefits and rights for which they
struggled in vain under private own
ership.
''Under Order No. s, promulgated by
Secretary McAdoo. the employees col
lectively, through selected representa-
tives, now have the unquestioned right
to demand hearing of the railroad
heads and the opportunity to thus d.
rectly present their grievances. For
years this basic privilege has been de-
MED them.
Hence I may say that without eH-
ception the employees are earnestly.
emphatically and determinedly behind
Mr. McAdoo's suggestions. and that
they propose to let Congress and the
nation know their reasons for their
position"
The Railway Employees Depart
ment is a distinct branch of the
American Federation OF Labor, en-
bracing within its membership more
than 10000 individuals. 1t is COM
posed chiefly of Representatives OF
the mechanical trades connected
with railroading.
The campaign of the Railway EN-
/ ployes Department is independent OF
the activities of the four big broth
erhoods of conductors, locomotive
engineers. firemen and trainmen. II
| is highly probable that its move
ment will soon receive further stim-
! ulus in the form Of strong en-
dorsement of continued government
control in the form OF a resolution
by the committee on reconstruction
OF the federation.

MAJOR cockREIL.

Major George Cockreil who mar
rowly escaped death this week at
Coblenz, at the hands of two Ger
mans, who made their escape follow
ing an unsuccessful attempt to as
sassinate him, has the distinction of
being one of the two most unpopular
American officers in the occupied
area. The other is Captain Theo-
dore F. Flicker, who is in charge Of
the billeting office, which must fur
nish accommodations for something
like eleven hundred officers and thou
sands of soldiers.
Major Cockreil, whose home is in
st. Paul, is in command of more
than twelve hundred military police,
and five to twenty or more Germans
pass through his Office every day on
their way to Jail. So among the
.civilians who buy stolen American
food and who try to sell cognac to
American soldiers and commit other
acts contrary to army regulations
Major Cockreil is most unpopular
man.
Sometimes he receives threatening
notes and also letters in German
with skull and crossbones at the
bottom of the page, but they do not
brighten him in the least. It's all
a part of the job, the major says.
J.! Captain Flicker, who lived in Chi
cago before he went to war, ha:
been going about Coblenz for sew
eral months selecting choice billets
for generals and other officers, and
for the soldiers too And so mos,
all the civilians in Coblenz have had
"a glimpse of Captain Flicker from
time to time, and they do not like
him one bit. Many of them tel
him so, in a nice way, of course
each times he comes around.
Every house in the city has beer
, listed in Captain -Fieker's Office, ant

ping? Would there be any pirates?
Once the wheat spectators did just
that, but they tried it out in the
most intellectual state in the Union
and the farmers were too smart for
them.
To one who remembers, it looks
as though all the business atroci-
ties that were once practiced on the
people of the Middle West are be-
ing tried out again in Alaska. Let
the Alaskans go on record as being
sane and clever, too clever to let
their small producer be driven out.
Let the small producer in our fish
industry live and the bridge across
the channel would have to be built
that the people might find homes,
instead of 25 or so automobiles in
our streets there would be five or
ten thousand vehicles to aid the
traffic.
Suppose we had one thousand
small boats coming into our port
every day; where would be the room
for the shanties around the City
dock?
Where would there be time to
talk about harlots bringing prosperi-
lty? Where would there be time
| for graft? Where would there be
loafers? Let US stop and figure
this thing out and remember that
the only business philosophy that
will stand fire is that philosophy
which allows the greatest good to
the greatest number.

PIRATES AND THINGS.

There is so much news OF the
hazy kind coming in from the fish
ing places that one can hardly form
an opinion as to what is really true
and what is not, says the CLEAN
(weekly), of Juneau. Some say
that the waters are full of fish
pirates, some laugh and say good
naturally, Where are the pirates?'
Then we have all sorts of stories
of shooting and scrapping of vari-
Gus kinds. It's hard to form an
opinion as to what is going on, but
it isn't hard to realize that there
must be something serious the mat
ter. It's not difficult to reason that
when there is so much discord some
body is trying to find individual
peace
To look at the proposition in all
its naked condition we have but to
recognize that the under-dog is being
weighted down by the bloodhounds
of big business. When the under
dogs howl and shrek it's a 100-to-1
shot that the bunch On top is eating
into his loins
What are the people of Juneau
going to do about this? Are they
going to sit still and see that fish
ing industry" that business they
have talked so much about foster
ing, be licked to death in Alaska
waters by the insidious methods of
big business methods, more subtle,
perhaps, but none the less cruel than
the hated submarine warfare?
We hear the merchant cry "capi-
tal," and we in turn howl back
production.
Now let the Juneau people think
a minute. Every man in town knows
that every big cannery man with
his gigantic fish traps could be
placed in the inland state Of Yer
mont and Juneau would never miss
him, and the little town would go
winning its way slowly but surely
through the patronage of small fish
ermen. On the other hand, let the
small fishermen from Juneau be put
in the state of Vermont, and every
store on Gastineau channel, save
those in Treadwell and Thane, would
have to close its doors.
Just by way of suggestion, sup.
pose the big cannery fellows were
to haul in their fish traps and say
to the small fishermen: From now
on you are to bring US your catch
and we will depend upon you that
our cans be filed at the close OF
the season" Cannot the Alaskan
resident see in that great impetus
in all lines of business? Such q
move would mean ten thousand PEG
pie for Juneau next year. Words
fail to express the prosperity that
would follow. Boat builders, house
builders, shoe dealers, dry good:
men, engine men, fishing gear men
motorboat men, machinery men, and
every kind of industry tributary to
the fishing business would be -four.
ishing in Juneau.
The Clean would guarantee thai
there would be no pirates if the
small fishermen were getting a fan
deal This is not the talk of Z
Bolshevik; this is the hard, sound
reasoning of what constitutes sound
business sense.

Spectator were to come along tt

DON'T CASH YOUR W. s. s.

During the last few weeks, accord
ing to a report from the Office of the
State Director Of War Savings, an
unusually large number of War Saw
ings Stamps have been presented to
the postmasters at money order post
Offices for redemption, The volume
Of demand for redemptions became 30
great that the State Director issued
an appeal to the people generally to
refrain from cashing their War Saw
ings Stamps, except when the neces-
sites were urgent. He points out
that many persons may be cashing
their stamps because they think the
necessity no longer exists for holding
them.
According to financial statement
made by the Secretary Of the Treas
ury, the Governments need for money
during the year 1919 will be in the
neighborhood of twelve billions Of
dollars. This is based upon current
expenses, and does not take into con-
sideration that any very large amount
of War Savings Stamps will be pre-
scented for redemption. So those per
sons who thoughtlessly present their
stamps for redemption undoubtedly
will embarrass the Government. If
these stamps were purchased to help
win the war, the purchaser is honor.
bound to observe the conditions of
the sale, which were that purchasers
should hold these stamps until ,Janu-
ary1, 1928, and only to cash them
when there was urgent necessity for
funds.
The Government does not ask that
the public refrain from cashing
stamps under all conditions, but does
ask each person who asks for re-
fund of his money carefully to consid'
er the effect it will have, not only up.
on the others in his community, but
what it would mean for the Govern
ment if everybody in the United
, States who bought more than a bill
lion dollars worth of stamps were
to ask for their money within the
next thirty days.
The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1919-01-25

Irving Bachelor, the author, and a
Florida winter visitor, in letter to
the Times Union cusses out the bad
roads leading to Jacksonville in polite
language thusly:
The road from New York to Jack.
sonville is on the whole disgrace to
America and the worst enemy Of the
South. 1t is an enemy which is work
ing "a hours day against the South.
1t never rests. Its arguments are un-
answered and unanswerable.
There are parts of this road-not-
ably between Savannah and Jackson
ville-which are indecent, antedelu-
Wan and absolutely immoral It has
caused more profanity than any other
single ally Of the Dvil. The only
proper destination for such a road us
hell-not Jacksonville or Savannah.
This Is the age of the gas engine.
A man who doesn't own some kind Of
gas engine is a curiosity. A State
whose roads are not made for gas en-
gines is living in past age and rob-
bling itself of a large part Of the ad-
vantage it is entitled to as living
entity.
Every man Of means runs his own
railroad train on the public highways
and enjoys the fresh air and prefers
i, not to multiply the family germs in a
Pullman car. 1t is now thought to be
the best part Of every outing. If
they cannot come to Florida with
their own power, comfortably, they
will 60 elsewhere or stay at home.
With a good motor road from New
York to Jacksonville the procession
heading this way from December 70
April, dropping treasure as it came
would cause very beholder to open
his mouth with establishment. In my
opinion it would double the winter
population Of the Carolinas; Georgia
and Florida.
1t is clear to me that the only trou-
| BILE with this State is the condition of
! the roads north of it.
