PUBLIC'S RIGHTS
FIRST, ERULINC
Court Establishes New
Principle in Public
Service Dispute

DENVER, Colo, July 13-"The
right of the people to service is SUI
perior to the right Of the investor for
profit"
This is the clear cut legal doctrine
lead down by District Judge Greeley
W. Whitford here in a case in which
the city of Denver has obtained an
injunction against the Denver Tram
way company, which prohibits the
company from cutting wages, from
precipitating strike or discharging
its men, or in any manner ceasing
to give adequate service.
Is First Case
This is the first case in history
where a public service corporation or
any other property owner has been
ordered by court to pay men wages
sufficient to keep them at work.
In the argument of the case the
traction company maintained that to
force it to continue service at a SIX
cent fare and 58-cent per hour wage
scale would confiscate it's property
The city laid down the broad doe
trine that the public interest is par
amount and that the company must
continue to give service until 1t goes
broke, or until it exhausts its Dor
rowing capacity. The city disputed the
assertion that the company was losing
money, but that point was not de-
termined and the judge gave an in
junction on the ground that whether
it made money or not, it must serve
the people.
The idea of the law suit, which is
unprecedented, was originated by
the mayor, Dewey c. Bailey.
Lawyers ridiculed the idea, all eX-
cept Horace Hawkins, old-tine battier
in the courts for Colorado labor un-
ions.
Hawkins delved into the law and
found where water companies had
been forbidden to discontinue service.
He argued that transportation in a
modern city was as important as wa
ter supply. The judge ruled with him
and a precedent has been set which
lawyers say will be far-reaching.
The street railway company had
asked for a seven-cent fare and the
city council had rejected it. 1t then
announced that it would cut wages.
Union Keeps Hands Off
The Garments union announced
that if wages were cut, they would
strike. The city asked for an in
junction against both the company
and the union to prevent the company
from cutting wages, and the union
from striking.
The Judge has granted the injunc-
ton against the wage cut. The in
junction against a strike then be-
came merely hypothetical matter,
because the union had no intention of
striking if wages were not cut.
No pleadings were filed by the I'M
ion, which adopted Glands off pol
icy as between the city and the trac-
ton company.

AMERICUS SEEKS
GA. LEGION MEET
Effort to Be Made to
Bring 1921 Convention
Here

A strong effort is to be made to
bring the 1921 American Legion con-
ventlon to Americas, and besides the
delegates and alternates who will rep
resent John d. Mathis post, it is plan
ned to have a large number OF Lee
gion men from here attend the Au-
gusta convention, August 1920. At
the Atlanta convention, Maj. James
A. Fort and Ben G. Hogue who rep
r sented the Americas post, extend
ed the delegates to hold their next
meeting in Americas, but Augusta
won in the fight that followed. The
effort to bring the convention to
Americas is to be renewed this year,
and the cooperation of every civic
body in Americas will be solicited in
an endeavor to land this big gather
ing for Americas.
Ben C. Hogue, Gordon Howell and
R. l.. Crawford will lead the fight
on the floor of the convention, and
in this they will be assisted by Hill
lizard Williams, Evan Mathis and
Peter Gardner. Besides these, a
number of Legion men will attend the
Augusta gathering and banner with
appropriate lllSNLl pLAOAAS "AAA ~
carried by boosters for Americas. 1t
is planned to have the Chamber of
Commerce, City Council and County
Commissioners as well as the Rotary
and Kiwanis clubs join in extending
an invitation to the convention to
select A1mericus as its next meeting
place, and if the invitation is accept
ed an elaborate program of entertain
ment for the delegates will be pre-
pared.
Though it is admitted the American
Legion convention will be a big gath
ering to handle, it was pointed in the
discussion last night that Americas
is peculiarly fitted to entertain these
ex-service. men because of the prox-
unity of Souther Field, and the facill-
ties afforded there for renewing &C
ouaintance with military customs as
we'll as reviving old friendships anc,
associations formed during days OF
service to the nation. 1t is estimated
that at least 500 delegates will at
tend the Augusta gathering, with an
increasing attendance expected for a
number of years to come.

LEGION CHOOSES
STATE DELEGATES
Election of Officers De-
ferred Two Weeks by
Post

John D. Mathis Post, American Lee
gion held a meeting last night in
the private dining room of the Wind
sor, at which delegates to represent
the post at the state convention were
selected. The election of post off
GERS, which had been set for last
night, was deferred two weeks, be-
cause of a desire to have a larger at
tendance at the election occasion
Three delegates, Ben C. Hogue, Cor
don Howell and Robert L. Crawford,
and three alternates, billiard Will
Ii ans, Evan Mathis and Peter Gard
ner, were chosen to represent the
post at the state convention, which
will assemble in Augusta Aug. 10 for
a session of two days.
The election of post officers which
has been set for Monday, July 26, at
1880 p. M, is to be the occasion of
big banquet, which all of the Legion
members are expected to attend, and
no. other business than the election
of officers will be transacted. In the
meantime the post members will can
vas the service men of Americas and
Sumter county in an effort to add as
many names as possible to the post
membership, as well as re-instate a
number of charter members who
have failed to pay their dues. At
the meeting last night it was resolved
that those present would take ten
delinquents each, or SO many as may
be necessary, and use their utmost
endeavor to have them re-instate
themselves, as well as secure new
members. In this way, it is planned
to increase the enthusiasm of the
post members in the work of the
Legion, and the big banquet to be
served July 26 will mark the climax
| of the solicitation.

MILITIA RULES
ARE MODIFIED
Changes Favor Reorgan-
ization of Old A. L. |.
In Americas

Ben C. Hogue, former officer IN the
old Americas Light Infantry, has re-
ceived a letter from Adjutant Gen
eral ]. Van Holt Nash, of the Geor-
gia military department, enclosing d
bulletin setting forth conditions un-
der which the states military FORCES
are to be re-organized. ms pulle-
fin permits a more liberal organlza-
tion than was first proposed by the
federal war department, ana uhueI
which the effort to re-orgGnlze Ihe
a L. |. here several months ago
failed to materialize.
The new National Guard forces as
they will be re-organlzed, Will consul
tnte at least fifty men in each unit
instead of 100 as at first proposed,
with the stipulation, however, thaU
each INIT must enroll ard MAINTAIN a
strength of at least 90 men, Whlch Is
prescribed as the minimum str@hS IN;
within a year of organization. AN
such state guard units will receive
federal recognition and be entitled 10
the emoluments and privileges such
recognition carries.
In addition more liberal pay Is 70

In case of war the National Guard,
while subject to draft into the federal
service. more considerable treatment Is
provided for than that shown 'nem
during the World war. Thelr organ

will resume their former militia sCa-
tus in the state service upon the CeT-
mination of the emergency Tor Wnicn
they were called. :.
In view of these liberal changes IN
basic policy, it appears probable thal
Americus will again have a military
company, and that efforts to re-organ,
ize the old A. l.. L., which had haii
a century of honorable activity IN
the service of the state, will be re-
newed Immediately. Capt. Hogue
said today that he heartily favors
movement to this end, and asks that
others who may be interested in hay
ing militia company here communl
cate with him and speak to him about
the matter at any time.

the Association for Improving the
Condition Of the Poor, when discuss
ing this point.
1T might be unfair to give out
the number of alcoholic cases in
which relief was given before prohi-
bition went into effect, because Of
the difficulty of dividing the alco-
holic cases from the rest. By this
I mean that sometimes aid was
given where alcoholism was only
partly responsible. Sometimes ex-
cessive drinking and insanitary con-
ditions Of living resulted in tuber-
culosis cases which are still receiv-
ing aid, and so it might lead to q
wrong impression to give out COM
parative figures at this time.
prohibition has not been in ef-
feet long enough to do that.
Not a Case Left
"But will say, and it Is a fact,
that we are not giving assistance In
single instance now where alcohol
ism is responsible for the need.
"Of course, It must be remem-
bered that there was a sharp de-
crease in excessive drinking during
the war, and then, too, there was mn
improvement in conditions because
of the high wages"

Whereas, In February, 1918, the
daily average Of the down and

A Comparison
In Pittsburgh the league an

"This is a reduction Of more than
