The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1921-01-15
FRANkNEss NEEDED.

In a discussion Of the needs of the
county recently, y. II. Gadsden of
Philadelphia, president of the Ameri-
can Electric Railway association, de-
clared that the only hope for the rail-
ways was to "Be frank and adver-
tise."
1T is absolutely necessary" he said,
Elf public utilities are to continue to
function that they create a flow Of
new capital into their securities. The
answer TO this whole problem is the
granting of rates to public utility
companies, which will insure a return
to the security holders that will in
duce them to invest Nothing less
than this sort of an arrangement will
save the utilities from ruin.
Adjustment of public utility rates
that a basis that will attract new
money into the field will be FASTENED
by thorough public understanding of
the public utility problems.
THE best way TO bring about that
understanding is 10 be frank and ad-
vertise.
"Frankness must go hand in hand
with advertising else advertising fails.
Therefore be prepared. when you be-
gin presenting your story to the pub
lie, 10 tell the whole truth about your
business to everyone. AS the only
customer of the public utilities. the
public is entitled to know all about
their business and any public utility
which cannot stand the searchlight of
honest public inquiry cannot hope to
obtain help through favorable public
sentiment Put your house in such or
der that you will fear the questions
of no man.
Advertise by every possible chan
mel and hit the line hard. Tell your
story everywhere that there is blank
space which you can fill.
MAKE it plain that the public util-
ity problem is the problem of every
man. woman and child who uses your
service. Strive by frank statement
to convince customers that you are
trying to do the best thing for their
general good and that it is in their
own interest. if nothing else. that they
should enlist themselves in your cause.
The way 10 accomplish this result is
not to make the mere statement that
it is your intention to give good serv-
ice. or to submit to the public a large
ideigentisble volume OF statistics and
then sit down and wait for the millen-
MUM. The thing to do is to explain
your situation in understandable
terms TO just as many folks as posi-
BILE. If you have a good case and will
tell the whole truth about your situa-
ton in a simple and convincing man
ner and give it deserving circulation
through the best available advertis-
ing medium you are certain to rally
the public to your support.
Every man deserves good electric

! "The question of national agree
ments is purely a question of whether
greater efficiency in railway operation
can be obtained, as the railways con-
tend, under agreements made between
individual railways and their own
employees, or under national agree
ments made by the railways as a
whole with the national railroad
brotherhoods. What arguments have
the spokesman of the railway brother
hoods advanced in favor of a continu-
ance of national agreements? They
have charged that the railways are
controlled by group of New York
banks, trust companies, eta charge
already made threadbare by frequent
repetition. They allege that the rail-
roads have sent to outside companies
for repair a large number of their To-
comotives and cars and have paid ex-
cessive prices for these repairs. when
every well-informed person knows
that the railroads had to send large
amounts of their equipment to out
side shops for repair in order to get
il in shape to meet the vast traffic
demands of last year. Having made
these and sundry other charges, the
spokesman of the railway brotherhoods
have added that they will make no at
tempt to substantiate them at this
timeI They were not made to be sub
stantiated. They were made to divert
attention from the honest graft OBJ
tanned by the members of the labor
unions through the national agree
ments, and to libel private manage
ment for the purpose of promoting the
Plumb plan under which the members
Of the labor unions would be able to
collect honest graft from the public
without limit.
1.-THE spokesman of the brotherhoods
threaten that if the labor board does
not adopt a course satisfactory to
the employees the service rendered to
the public will inevitably suffer- but
the public will seek in vain in their
statement for any discussion of the
principle or effect on railroad efficien-
cy of national agreements versus local
agreements. The spokesman of the
railroads proceeded at once, on the
other hand, with a discussion of the
question of national agreements and
a presentation of the facts and argu-
ments which they believe show that
local agreements between individual
railways and their employees are pre-
ferable to national agreements.
1T is not an uncommon thing for a
man who has just pickd another mans
pocket to begin crying Stop theft to
divert attention from himself. When a
man gets pay for doing work that he
doesn't do, or gets two or three or
four days pay for doing one days
work. he is simply grating upon
somebody. The spokesman of the
brotherhoods knew that ehe represent
atives of the railways were going to
lay bare the facts about these matters
and they raised the cry Stop theft
to divert attention from the matters
actually under consideration by the
railroad labor board"
