SAVANNAH, April 1.-THE rail-
road men will stand behind the Atlanta
Birmingham and Atlantic strikers I'M
til the fight is won, it was decided by
meeting of the different crafts here
last week.
A motion carrying tits provision
was made and unanimously carried
pledg;ng the last dollar and the last
ounce of energy of the local men to
help the striking A., B. and A. en-
ployes in what the meeting termed
the forerunner of what is to come"
A motion was made providing for
the appointment of committees to
raise funds for the unskilled men Of
the A., B. and A. who are standing
shoulder to shoulder with organized
labor in their strike.
Gave Resume of Situation
w. M. Martin, chairman of joint
committees of the A., B. and A. en-
ployes, COVE lengthy resume of the
situation from the inception of the
strike, including efforts of the en-
ployes to reach an amicable adjust
ment
In his talk, Mr.. Martin declared
the A., B. and A. under efficient man.
agement would not have been obliged
to reduce wages. Under federal con-
troll he declared the wages were not
found unreasonable. 1t was only after
he per cent guarantee of the gov
eminent was no longer effective that
the road discovered that it could not
longer meet unreasonable" wages.
Mr. Martin declared that the road
made the cost of operation expensive
as possible in order to sway public
opinion when the time came to re-
duce the wages and that the employees
were the victims of their representa-
tives sent to congress. He referred to
the passage of the transportation act
Col. Bugg, receiver of the A. B. and
A. came in for a share of criticism by
Mr.. Martin for his actions during the
later phases of the wage situation.
Wage Cuts Refused
The employees of the A. B. and A..
refused to accept the decrease, &C
cording to Mr.. Martin, because the
decrease was not authorized under the
transportation act and that the action
of Judge Sibley in placing the road
in the hands of receiver and order
ing reduction in wages was an arbi-
trary and untenable stand.
Efforts to reason with. Col. Bugg
Mr.. Martin declared, were met with
inconsistency and stubborness.
George w. Marshall, secretary Of
the machinists of the A. B. and A..
was the next man to speak, and hi.
remarks were greeted with much ap.
plause.

HARDING "SCRAPS"
NATIONS LEAGUE
Says u. S. Won't Enter League
But Infers Association"
MUST LOWER FREIGHTS
Suggests Joint Race Commission
to Eliminate Lynching
(By International News service)


WASHINGTON, April 12-Pres-
ident Harding personally addressed
the house and senate this afternoon
outlining a foreign policy which def
nitely and finally scraps" the league
OF nations as it now exists, saying
that the United States can never be-
come member.
To get the nation back to a peace
basis the president declared Re would
approve congressional resolution to
this effect providing it contained no
more than simple declaration that
the state of war that has existed be-
tween the United States and Ger
many for four years is at an end.
Discussing the treaty itself, Presi-
dent Harding said THE wiser course
would seem to be acceptance with a
confirmation of our rights and inter-
ests as already provided, and to en-
gage under the existing treaty, as
Stunning of course that this can be sat-
Iisfactoryily accomplished by such ex-
plicit reservations and notifications
as will secure our absolute freedom
from inadvisab1e commitments and
safeguard our essential interests.
with a supergoverning league
definitely rejected and with the status
of peace proclaimed at home, we
may proceed to negotiate a covenant
ed relationship SO essential to recog-
milton of all rights everywhere of our
own nation and play our full part in
joining the people of the world in
pursuits of peace again"
Must Lower Freights
Discussing domestic affairs, presi-
dent Harding recommended reduc-
ton of governmental expenditures;
revision of the present taxation sys-
tenn, including repeal of the excess
profits tax; early adoption of a pro-
tective tariff to prevent foreign
dumping; national budget sys-
tenn; placing the railroadss on a foot
ing where they can pay their own
way, saying freight rates and the cost
of operation must come down, reiter-
at.ng his opposition to governmental
ownership; development of greater
merchant marine; development of
radio and cable communications as an
aid to increasing American world
commerce; coordination of soldier
relief under single directing hand
Seek to End Race Hate
Discussing the race question, he
said congress should wipe out the
the stain of barbaric lynching There
has been suggestion tina, some race
difficulties might be ameliorated by
humane and enlightened consdera-
ton. One proposal will he the crea-
ton of commission embracing rep
resentatives of both races to study
and report on the entire subject.
The proposal has real merit. I'm con-
WINGED that in mutual tolerance, I'M
Outstanding, charity, recognition, in
dependence of races and maintainence
of rights of citizenship lies the road
to righteous adjustment"
