a program for the New Orleans con-

any board of directors may consider
and find easily worth the appropriation
necessary to send the secretary to New

Take Exceptions TO Resolutions
Passed by Board Condemn
ing Proposed Strike.

At a meeting of Pensacola Lodge 322
of the Brotherhood OF Railway and
Steamship Clerks held last night the
resolutions made by the Chamber of
Commerce in regard to the proposed
strike OF rail workers Thursday came
up for discussion and the following
sentiment was expressed by the broth
erhood In regard to the matter:
1--WE have read the resolutions passed
by our Pensacola Chamber OF Com
merce, strongly condemn1ng The rail-
road employees for the proposed strike.
From the nature of these, resolutions
they have evidently been posted by the
Wall street propaganda that has been
sent broadcast throughout this land
Of ours.
Our savings out OF the so-called
war wages after paying our neces-
sary expenses, that were put on us
by these. same people. did not leave
US sufficient funds to spend millions
to put our side Of the question before
the public. as did our antagonists, who
have fattened on the war and spent
millions to put out their literature, in
order to kill democracy; the very
thing that we were supposed TO have
fought for.
1--WE know that most Of our mer-
chants. with whom we do business. and
many OF our good citizens of Pensa-
cola. with whom we are associated
daily, are members OF the Chamber Of
Commerce. For this reason we would
ask for their due consideration OF our
side OF the question; and a thorough
and unbiased investigation Of the
same. We are satisfied that their
views would not be as expr rsssed in
the resolutions referred 70. Il they
would do so.
by making a comparison with the
wages that are being paid tho mem
bers OF the brotherhoods. with similar
positions n other industries they viii
find out the real facts in the case
From the superintendent on down, the
clerical force o. the railroads have
been the poorest paid office forces o.
any other industry
II the Chamber OF Commerce thinks
that government control and operation
a failure during the war per
cd let them -ead ard study the case
from both sides before condemn.ng
ore, and find out that though fig-
ufes themselves never lie. they can -
iuggied very easily.
in regards to cutting wages and tae
h.gh wages ne receive. why should
not want to maintain the present wage
scale? Railroad rates are nor the oniy
things that have gone UP since the
war Read your city budget for the
coming year; look at your bills for
taxes both city and county; your gas
and electric light bills, ard last but
not least, your water bills. None Or
these things have been hauled BY the
railroads.
