CONGRESS MUST
GUARD PUBLIC
SAYS ROBINSON
Arkansas Senator Takes Strong
Stand in Favor of Law to Pro-
hibit Strikes and Lockouts on
Railroads.

Washington. Sept. "A law to pro-
hibit strikes or Iookouts of railroad
employees and thus to protect the pub
lie from transportation tie-ups was
advocated by Senator Robinson, demo-
crat of Arkansas. in an address to-
day in the senate.
THE time has come he said, when
| congress must protect the public
against loss of live and property and
widespread suffering which will in1
evitably result if the railroads should
be tied up by a general strike.
"The right to strike has heretofore
been recognized in our laws, particu-
larly certain provisions of the Clayton
act. Those laws should be modified
and strikes of employees on railroads
engaged in interstate commerce should
be forbidden"
Senator Robinson's address was in
analysis and commendation of the bill
by Senator Cummins republican, of
Iowa. drafted by the senate interstate
commerce subcommittee proposing a
permanent railroad policy of private
ownership and operation of railroads,
under strict government supervision.
and with a committee on wages and
working conditions composed equally
of employers and employees whose rec
concentrations would be subject to
final decision of the interstate COM
merce commission.
The Cummins bill, according to SEN
ator Robinson, who was a member of
the drafting sub committee, amply pro-
tects the rights of employees, employers
and the public.

said Senator Robinson. combinations
or agreements to hinder, restrain or
prevent the movement of commodities
or persons in interstate commerce or
agreements which have that effect
are likewise penalized.
THE provision by law of a fair
tribunal to settle disputes between
railroads and their employees is. of
course a prerequisite in any plan fair
ly calculated to relieve the country
from the menace of strikes and lock-
outs that will restrain or prevent in
terstate commerce. 1t is indispensa-

pie that commerce be continued and

wise plan that will meet with the
approval of the laborers and at the
same time fairly safeguard the public
interest But it might as well be un-
derstood in the beginning that the.
question is one in which the public in

and the laborers if not controlling.
and that under our system of govern
ment. while no man should be COM

except as punishment for crime and
while the full freedom and right of en-
ployees as individuals to quit work az

a general strike or lockout which would
suspend commerce are so apparent and
far reaching that disputes likely to
result in strikes or lockouts on rail-
roads must be determined in IN or

TRUCK FARM SECTION
Is Link in Highway Running
From Fairhope to Pensacola,
and Amplifies Connections
With Baldwin County.

Washington, ID. c., Sept. 2.-Con-
gres has passed the bin TO authorize
the building OF a bridge across the
Perdido river at or near Nunez ferry In
Baldwin county. The bin was called up
in the house today by Congressman
Hubert Dent OF Montgomery. and
passed Immediately. 1t has already
passed the senate.
This bridge is a link In the high
way running from Fairhope, Baldwin
county, to Pensacola and will give the
truck farmers of the southern part OF
Baldwin county an outlet to Pensa-
cola.
This action by congress marks an
important step i'm the progress of a
movement that has been the subject
of agitation and a keenly felt need
for number of years past and one
in which there is great interest among
Pensacolians and the people generally
of Escambia county and West Flor
ida as well as of Baldwin county, Ala
bama and Mobile. since this would be
an important connecting link between
the two cities and sections that are be-
ing rapidly developed.
The bridge at Nunez Ferry. together
with the bridge already constructed
across Perdido bay at Lillian and over
which IL is expected the proposed PEN
sacola-Volanta railroad Will pass will
afford an amplification of connections
between the two counties and sections
of the two states that will more closely
ally their interests to the end that each
will be greatly benefited, 1t is ex-
pected.
