THOSE BIG EARNINGS"
OF RAILROAD WORKERS,
AND WHAT FORD PAYS

Just now Is the open season for the
kept press 10 take shot at the rail
road workers. and the public is being
told OF the enormous earnings of the
railroad men, especially those who op.
crate the trains.
In view of the many exaggerated re.
ports usually printed in the daily
press at such times as we have been
recently having. The Review has oh.
tanned from a railroad worker In a
position To know the facts. the earn.
ings of the road men at the present
time. for the purpose of comparing
them with the earnings of the trans
portation employees on the Detroit. To.
ledo a. lronton railroad, owned by
Henry Ford. who has different ideas
about the compensation of workers
than those entertained by the railroad
companies owned by Wall street
An engineer, assuming that he
works eight hours day and six days
week, will receive about 1887 a
month. Ford's engineers. for service
eight hours day and six days a week,
receive 1915
A fireman on the same basis will
receive $40 month, while Ford pays
his firemen 1926.
Conductors will receive about 1855
/ Ford's conductors, 1915.
A brakeman, about 1920 Ford s

As to whether a railroad can pay
such wages and operate AT q profit. II
is significant that Ford applied TO the
Interstate Commerce Commission for
permission to reduce railroad rates 20
per cent. and permission was refused
on the ground that thee reduction
would be unfair TO his competitors. i"
II liz a fact that within recent
months. number Of engineers on the
extra board have received as little as
$37 In a two-weeks' pay.
One fact regarding the transporta-
ton employees that the kept press liz.
nores Is that they are subjected to ad.
ditional living costs on account of the
fact that they are away from home
a good portion OF the time. This added
expense has been estimated at 81 10
$3.50 a day.

IN which he shows that railroads are
operating at a needless waste In
telling OF the way in which he would
run a railroad. Ford says that first,
he would get rid Of the individual
stakeholder. whom he looks upon as a
parasite and then he would install
lighter rolling stock, after which he
would fire the useless employees, es
pecially the lawyers
He claims that Most roads have

Tho cancellation OF the strike was
brought about by the reluctance OF the
chief executive OF some OF the or

which they declared would be directed
against the government instead OF

common phrase, in the same boat.
But since then, some of us have Jared
better than others of us have
been freed from Egyptian bondage
while others are still grooming under
it. How can we, how dare we, forget
them, hide ourselves from our own.
And since all Jews are responsible one
for another, one for all and all for one,
and the world rightly or wrongfully
holds us to this responsibility, how
can, how dare Jew by his conduct
besmirch the name of Jews and Juda-
ism? Let him not blame his grand
father, let him not blame the pain
full necessity of making living, the
struggle for existence, the general
social decentralization. The Jew must
be different; the Jew is responsible.
And then our responsibility for the
welfare of the community, the state,
the society in which we live. We all
desire prosperity, peace, order and
good will in the community, in the
country in which we live. In it's peace
and welfare there is peace and welfare
for US. But all our institutions, and
measures, laws and prohibitions are
powerless to secure peace and welfare,
if each one does not measure up to the
responsibility of his citizenship, does
not by his own conduct add to the
prosperity, order, peace, and good will
of the community and the country. If
we have not reached normality, if
times are still out Of joint, if there are
millions of unemployed, and there are
strikes and disorders, and vindictive-
ness and hate-let us not blame our
grandfathers, nor Woodrow Wilson,
nor the Democrats, nor the Republi-
cans, nor the Bolshevists of Russia,
nor the Nonpartisan League of North
Dakota-let us blame ourselves-our
greed, our Incidence, our selfshness,
our carelessness, our extravaganza.
We individually are responsible. We
are responsible, and God judges us
and deals with us accordingly. And
so among the thoughts that this holy
day should stir within us is the
thought of responsibility and divine
judgment.
May each one of us live up to his
responsibilities, so that, the divine de-
cree for us in the coming year may
be decree Of life, health, peace, and
happiness.

Ernest Gilreath and Field Abney
Cut Hole in Cell Floor and
Make Get Away

saluda, Sept. 26.-Ernest Gil
reath and Field Abney, both negroes,
cut their way through the floor in the
cell in which they were confined and
late Sunday night or early Monday
merning made their escape from the
county changing.
The negroes made small hole IN
the wood floor of the cell, later en-
largihg it to permit their escape. The
two men also stole cold chisel from
the. chaingang shop, officers say, in
tending to use the tool, it is thought,
to cut the shackles from their legs.
Tat. shackles have not been found.

is described as black negro about
80 years old, weight about $50
pounds, height feet 10 inches with
Ia gold tooth. Abney is also about
80 years old, Of heavy set build and
coal black of complexion.
Bloodhounds from Newberry were
sent for and a trail was followed to a

been tied. The fugitives, it is thought,
used these horses tc make good their
getaway.

| faithful to the Confederate army. A
late but worthy tribute to these cid
slaves who for no cause could be IN
duced to desert their masters. No
doubt the Tennessee legislature got
the idea from the bill Of that grand
old soldier and friend Of the slaves,
Capt. NJ. NJ. Buford Of Newberry,
who had similar bill offered by Sen
ator Alan Johnstone at the last ses-
sion of the genera, assembly Of this
state. Senator Johnstone manfully
and kindly espoused the bill. Most
likely it will pass next session.
We feel certain that Capt. Buford

the cause Of the feeble and needy
old slaves. The Capt's. heart goes out
for his black comrades of that mighty
conflict.
