Lucky Charleston!

The Secretary Of the Chamber OF
Commerce al Charleston, South Caro-.
lima, has written an extended maya
zine article on the subject Southern

10 the bright future before the port of
Charleston Says he Among the har.
nor facilities which can be brought 10
play in COMBATING for freight. Charles
ton has "a splendid advantage in the
government port terminals, which
were bulk dnring the war emergency
az cost aggregating $4,000 900.
And he adds that the construction of
these was not completed until after
tho signing OF the armistice
Ii these statements were made by
a Northern Republican, they would be
seized upon Immediately as partisan
criticism OF a Democratic administra.

the Secretary of the Chamber Of Com.
MERGE of Charleston, and we can't
IMAGINE q Republican holding such a
position in South Carolina We accept
it as true that in competing with eth
er ports for ocean freight business,
Charleston has "a splendid advantage
in the Government port terminals
which were constructed in the war
emergency but not completed until af.
ter the armistice In fact, 1t appears
that the terminals did not reach such
q stage OF construction as TO permit Of
even partial use until after the waF
was over, The port terminals we're i'm
the same category with the aircraft
construction which was mismanaged
by C-l. Deeds the ueighbor and politi-
cal friend of Governor Cox. They were
in the same category with the Muscle
Shoals project, also in the South, up,
on which the government spent mil
lions with no resultant help to he war.
We are not Jealous Of Charleston.

assurance of her safe future in ocean

splendid advantage over other Ameri-

will be in some measure enjoyed by

X. r. MANAGERS EVADE WORK
ERS' WAGE PLEA
Would Refer Matter to the President
to Whom the Railroad Employees
Have Already Forwarded
Their Correspondence

Washington - The long discussed
wage demand of railroad shop en-
ployes is again before the president.
The railroad managers have re-
fused to discuss the question with
employees on the ground that the
public should be represented. The
managers want the matter settled
by the labor board and ask the en-
ployes to join with them in preparing
data.
The railroad employees reply that
the managers are attempting to
evade responsibility, and are ignor-
ing the intent of the law. The en-
ployes have forwarded the corre-
spondence to the president.
In his letter to the railroad man.
ayers, Acting President Jewell of the
railway employees department, A. F.
of L., says:
"Your committee has declined to
comply with the plain provisions of
the law and assume the responsible
ity of railroad managements with
regard thereto, and has not given
consideration to the requests of the
employees for just and reasonable
rates of pay, working conditions, etc.,
based upon the provisions of section
BOT, paragraph D, which shall be the
guide of the labor board.
"Your entire deliberations seem to
have been predicated upon the sole
basis of the costs without regard to
the business and reasonableness of
the requests of railroad employees.
"Your declination to consider the
requests of the employees upon their
merits does not place US in a posi-
ton at this time to join with you in
the appointment of committees to
prepare data for presentation to the
labor board"
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1920-04-16
RUBBER WORKERS ORGANIZE
Employees of Pharis Tire and Rubber Co. Institute
New Union Last Sunday Afternoon

The steady healthy growth of the
principles of unionism, for which
Newark is noted all over the country,
was again manifested Sunday after
noon when Rubber Workers Federal
Union No. 1927 was instituted at
Trades Assembly hall by ]. H. Shar-
ritt, Organizer for the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, assisted by men,
bers of the Trades Assembly. Near
ly all the men who have been en-
ployed at the Pharis Tire and Rub
ber Co.'S works were present and
united themselves with the new or
ganization
At 2:30 Mr.. Sharritt called the
meeting to order and selected VIM.
M. Morgan to act as president and E..
H. Franklin as vice president. After
some telling remarks by Mr.. Morgan,
a temporary organization was effect
ed by electing Ora Meats, president;
Chas. Odendahl, vice president, and
Clark Haynes, secretary. These Of
fcers and all the men who had signed
the roll were then obligated by Mr..
Morgan and the officers took their
stations. Previous to this, one man,
who is viewed with some suspicion,
and who refused to sign, was le-
quested to leave the hall.
Immediately upon assuming the
chair Mr.. Meats announced that the
election of permanent officers was in
order. An election was held which
resulted in the selection of the fol-
lowing corps of officers for the en-
suing year:
President-Ora Meats.
Vice President-Chas. Odendahl.
Rec. Sec'y-Clark Haynes.
Treasurer-Frank Gait.
Guide-Clyde Teal.
Guard-Wm. Bryson.
Trustees-Wm. Scott, C. H. Drury,

TRANSPORTATION DEMORALIzED

eastern roads had placed embargoes.
One embargo invites another, and the
endless chain continued until prac-
tically every important road east of
st. Louis had one or more embargoes
operating on April /.
If this conditions continues for
any length Of time, the result will be
disastrous. Manufacturers, unable to
secure raw materials or ship finished
products, will be forced to close the
factories. This will result in an in
crease of unemployment. Railroads,
not moving cars, will suspend work
els. Merchants, unable to secure
merchandise, will increase prices, ad-
ding to the staggering cost of living
problem.
But one Of two purposes can ami
mate railway managers. They seek
to bring about business stagnation
and paralysis, to destroy the morale
of the workers and thus punish them
for manifesting little independence,
or to force back on their respective
lines traffic that was diverted during
tn eperiod of government admin
siration.
Under federal control the roads
were operated as unit system. The
purpose was to expeditiously and
economically distribute commerce.
The result was that some roads lost
valuable traffic, while other lines.
less popular, were used to advantage.
Now, under competitive conditions,
the interests of the railroads are made
paramount to the public good. No
consideration is given to the rights
OF needs of shippers. The policy is,
as has been expressed by a western
railroad manager, L. M. Davis, of the
Great Northern, to get all the revenue
we can for the company"
The public is slowly but surely
awakening to the fact that private
control of transportation is not in the
of the public. The first dis.
came with the embargoes
against freight. The next will come
when rates are increased. Because
congress was recreant to the welfare
of the people, they are to suffer in
decrease of service, higher cost and
expensive and exasperating delays
that will eventually result in the
Generalization of industry.

Urge Taxation Changes

Chicago.-The executive board of
the Illinois state federation of labor
offers these tax suggestions to the
state constitutional convention, now
ir session:
provisions should be made that
the legislature have the power to
enact laws classifying property,
both real and personal, tangible and
intangible, with the further provi-
sion, of course, that all property in
the same class be equally taxed.
provision should be made for
graduated income and inheritance
taxes, with the heavier burdens on
the larger inheritances and on un-
earned incomes.
"Since our natural resources are
the gift of nature to the race and
are the real source of all wealth,
and therefore the natural and origi-
nal source of public revenues, pro-
vision should be made to collect
HuoAS revenue IoI puuIlc purposes
from water power, mineral depos-
its, such as oil fields and coal beds;
the unearned increment of land val
ues, which, after all, is really earned
by the labor and productive power of
the whole community and should be
taken in taxes to support community
institutions; any socially created in
crease in the value of natural re-
sources; any part of our natural re-
sources held out of use for gain or
speculative purposes"
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1920-04-16

Delegates to Trades Asembly-Ora
Meats, Chas. Odendahl, Clark Haynes
Mr.. Sharritt then administered the
obligation and installed the new Of
ficers into their respective stations,
and the new union was in full work.
ing order, backed by the great Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, and the
united support of every labor union
and every organized man in the city,
which had previously been pledged
by the unanimous vote of the Trades
Assembly.
Following the impressive and inter-
esting ceremonies some stirring talks
were made by Bob Williams and Bros.
Drumm, Davis, Southard, and a num-
Der of others. Several Of the mem
bers of the new local expressed their
views on the present situation, and
all were happy and proud of the fact
that they were members of a union
which had been born under such
favorable conditions and which prom
ised so much for their future well
fare, prosperity and happiness.
The organization of this latest ac-
QUESTION to labor's ranks in Newark
was the result Of the alleged unde-
sirable working conditions at the
rubber plant, and also to the clam
that spies, in the guise of workmen,
had been placed in the factory for
the purpose of carrying tales to
headquarters. The men also say that
the management refused to read or
consider a communication specifying
the objections to existing conditions
and requesting some changes look
ing toward their betterment.
The matter has been placed in the
hands of a competent committee
which will endeavor to adjust the
trouble in a manner satisfactory to
both parties, and an early solution
of the unfortunate misunderstanding
is expected.
