RAILROAD COMPELLED TO PAY
MORE THAN PREVAILING RATE

The basic rates of pay for unskill-
ed railroad labor (as fixed by agree
ments made under government con-
troll of the railroads. are SO 10 481h
cents an hour-$3.12 to 1888 per eight
hour day.
The Railroad Labor Board in ses-
sion in Chicago, declined to suspend
these rates and permit the roads, as
they requested, to pay the prevailing
rate of wages.
In their petition to the Labor Board
with respect to wages paid to un-
skilled labor the railroads said:
"Since your decision was made
on July 20, 1920, these rates have
fallen materially throughout the
United States.
"To require the railroads to con-
tinue to pay wages far in excess of
those paid by other industries is
unfair to those industries, and bears
with grave injustive upon the great
body of our farmers.
within the next month or six.
weeks practically all of the rail-
ways of the country must recruit
their unskilled labor forces.
''It is desirable that large part
of the work for which these men
are necessary be concentrated in
periods when the same labor is not
needed in harvesting the crops.
eve therefore ask the immediate
permission of your Board to pay for
unskilled labor not less than the
prevailing rate of wages in the var
ious territories served by any car
rier."
This the Labor Board refused, and
the railroads are closing down all
work where unskilled labor is used
and men have no work.

SUSSEX COUNTY FARM BUREAU

The Farm Bureau membership drive
will probably close this week and it
is expected that by Saturday night
the members will total probably 900,
which is about 81 per cent of the
farmers seen by the solicitors. Pres
ident Robert ]. Allen has called a
meeting of the Executive Committee
to meet in the Farm Bureau office
Tuesday, March 9Th, and the follow
up work will be taken up at this meet
ing. The first meeting of the Farm
Bureau Federation will be held Tues
day, March 22nd. Each community
will be entitled to one representative
to go to the State meeting and the
Executive Committee determines at
the meeting of March 9Th, the num-
Der of communities entitled to repre-
sentation and those communities will
then be asked to elect or appoint
their state representative.
When the State Federation is form
ed Delaware will then join the Am
erican Farm Bureau Federation, which
will make the 43rd state affiliated with
the American Farm Bureau Fedora
tion. The total membership in this
organization is now more than one
million five hundred thousand farm
ers and is the biggest, most complete.
and best financed organization of
farmers in America. 1t is acting as
a clearing house for all farm organi-
cations and it-can be compared with
the y. S. Chamber of Commerce and
is the clearing house for the business
of the country.

The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1921-12-07

SYCHOLOGY would have it that there is much to environment And
I there is-much. Theniche we all fill in life possibly was largely deter
mined by our childhood environment-even by the environment by which
we are now influenced.
Housed in what formerly wasa State Normal School, later a public
school, The West Virginian naturally has an environment BETTING its
true mission in ife-an environment that behooves much consideration
Originating anew each day between walls that once echoed the prOVerbal
words of wisdom" The West Virghnian uncosciousy feels a duty to its
environment
From these very same doors have gone forth the youth and the maid
en-, trained intellectually to help themselves by helping others. They
were instructed in the Ideals of Democratic Servlce-tutored IN Helpful
ness. What else can education be than true Service?
And now, between these walls, the hum Of presses, mingled with the
click Of type, has suppIanted the silence Of the school room and the low
~oken words of wisdom. Printing, aply defined as The Master Art OF
Democracy" has replaced Education, just as aptly defined as The Art OF
Democratic Service.
TODAY, from the very same doors from which went the scholar, go
forth each day thousands Of copies of what has ably been termed The
Greatest Forcein the Word"-anewspaper. Bearing the caption OF The
West Vrginian, it goes forth as thescholar, after years of preparation, on
it's never-endng journey of Service. Possibly meets with rebuke here;
with praise there. But, with head up and goal set high, it plunges onward
The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1921-12-07

and upward III its task: Rendefng aSeTVce WUIeO U#TU" II"7
flovsi its lfebood.
Trna nevsnaners have ideals. At least, they should have. AS the
character Of an Individual is built up by his thought and actions 50 IS the
character Of a newspaper built up by the printed word. After all. my
business cannot rise higher than its Ideals Of Service any more than a
stream can rise higher than its source. And so The West VTgHna1 mas
set its goal high. If it never reaches the true Goal of Service, its way IS
ever lighted by the noble aspirations that surround such a goal
home that breahes of education, of Service! From these WaHss Hsprng
forth the moulds Of public opinion, for newspapers are the greatest educa-
tonalforcei in the world today. The public gets its opinion from neWspa-
prs. Their political opinions, their economic opinions and then buying
opinions are all garnered from the columns of their daily newspaper. mus
a newspaper whose opinions are as fearIessy presented, strong held and
perstently maintained as are those Of The West Vlrgnlan cannot hap
but influence the life Of the community in which it vibraes.
And lust as The West Virginian loves its home, it loves Farmont, To
promote any and every just movement for the betternent of Farmont, and
to stand as an armed sentinel, if you please, to guard against private lust
or infringement, is its duty-is privilege. Mayt ever thrive with Far
mont where inthe words Of Fesler, the people of all the earth can come
and be blended into one community life and where each generation will
vie with the past to transmit to the next a city greater, better and more
beautiful than thelast.
