THE RAILROAD STRIKE SITUATION

The railroad labor board has proposed a general
reduction in wages OF twelve per cent about half
that put into effect on the Atlanta Birmingham
and Atlantic Railway March 1st This reduction
includes practically all classes Of labor on practi-
cally every railroad in the United States. In Iulv
the national executives OF the sixteen standard
railway crafts meet in Chicago to consider the
proposed wage reduction and to consider other
changes in the working agreements between the
operators and employees.
In the conference of railway union chiefs and the
railroad executives the fate Of the fifteen hundred
men and women who strike against the A.
B. & A. wage reduction will be determined. The
strikers confident that out of the conferences
will come settlement which win include the re-
instatement of the former employees.
The strikers base their belief on the supposton
that the union chiefs will demand, as part of
national working agreement that all men now on
strike against wage cuts not authorized by the
railroad labor board shall be reinstated They
believe that this demand can be secured bv the
union chiefs IN the negotiations by offering certain
concessions on other points which will be included
i'll the national agreements. If the union chiefs
make it TO the advantage of the railroad operators
to renstate the strikers the operators can very
easily bring pressure to bear on the executives OF
the roads whose union employees are on strike
which will cause the reinstatement of the strikers
On the other hand, if the national union chiefs
fail to prove faithful to the strikers or if they are
outgencraled by the railroad executives, this pres
sure will not be brought to bear Union labor
will be placed on trial in these negotiations as it
has never been before. 1t will be a great test
of loyalty and of leadership The strikers are
confident that unionsm will stand the test.

THE WAY TO HAVE A FAIR-Crisp county

apparently is in danger of missing its annual coun-
ty fair this year according to the following from
the Cordee Dispatch:
We have not heard word of a fair for
Crisp county this fall. Last year it put the
home folks to close fight to keep from los
ing money. This year the only thing that
has been done was the drafting of a grand
jury recommendation calling on the fair Off
Gals to keep the gates shut on the gambling
devices. Unless there is some sort of public
interest manifested very soon on the part of
the stock raisers and the good farmers it is
quite sure that the fair officials will see that
the grand jurys request is followed with pre-
clsIon. But it will be quite out of the ordinary
to try even one season without fair
1t seems that people generally can think of more
"donts" for public enterprises than anything
else Donts are all very well and necessary
but nothing can be DONE on "don'ts" alone, |.
takes some dos" to get things started and keep
them going. Editor Charlie Browns inference
that the grand jury's advice will be followed by
precision in keeping the fair gates closed en-
tirely is we'll phrased. 1t is much easier to
"don'ts' good thing to death than it is to
overdo it. The 'donters' probably keep the
world from going TO the bow vows but it is the
doors that make it do whatever going it does
A fair is great institution and serves MANY
good purposes 1t gives the farmers some place
to show their good work and gives people an OPP
portunity to see and appreciate good work 1t
gives other farmers something to shoot at" for
future work by giving display of striking exam
piles of the accomplishments of others 1t draws
people together to think little along construc-
tive lines.
1t is pity human nature isn't so constructed
that everyone, city folks and country folks alike
will flock to place to see this sort of display of
worthwhile things. 1t is fact. however, that
only about half of the people who attend fair
go with the primary purpose of seeing displays
of agriculture, live stock fancywork, and other
solid and serious things They go first to be
entertained by lighter things. Having gone,
however, they are willing to take in all the sights
and are benefited and improved. feel broader
respect for the good work that they see and for
the workers that created it. 1t has been esti--
mated by experienced county fair promoters that
forty rer cent of the people who pay admission
TO enter a fair ground go primarily to see the
the strictly fair exhibits, the agricultural, live
stock poultry, and home economies DISPLAYS
The other sixty per cent go to enjoy the lighter
"Htertairments and receive the benefits of the
better things as secondary interest Some saw
that the two classes are more evenly divided
than that but admit that good entertainment is
the strongest drawer of people and it is people,
%Aumbers OF people, that spells success or failure
Or talr, from whatever point of view success
is rated
