THE CRISIS NOW CONFRONTING TAMPA
(Tampa Times.l


Tampa now faces the gravest crisis in her his
tory. The railroads determined to put off
the map a distributing center in order to
move water competition for all time to come.
They are out in the open, no longer attempting
to disguise their purpose We to be put on a
dryland basis if rates which favor inland points
can put us there.
Unless willing to fight may well
give up the ghost. No argument may advance
will have the slightest effect with the railroads.
1t is thumbs down for Tampa; the new rates
going into effect originally planned in secret
conference and on schedule time.
If submit tamely to the selfish machina-
tions of the roads, Tampa is done for. In three
years will be smaller city, with less wealth
than have today. Our jobbers will be out of
business; our warehouses empty; our present
large trade with south Florida a thing of history
That is the way the railroads would have it;
but going to let the RAILROADS do this to us?
We do not have to submit There is way
out but it calls for such fight as have
never made before; a fight for our business lives
and the future of our city.
The water ways still open to us, and can
not be closed. The railroads acting the
belief that do not have the energy, the
pacity and the will to povide effective water
transportation. but we must provide Il way OF
quit; we must fight admit that haven't
real fighting blood in veins
And we must start the fight NOW--not next
week or next month, but without a moments
delay. We must arrange for ships into Tampa
and motor transport lines radiatng out of Tampa.
This is not fight for the jobbers along but
a fight for the entire citizenship of the city. The
future of every man. woman and child is at stake.
The crisis is general it is real
AS first step the Times calls for meet
ing of citizens to outline plans for the fight. This
meeting should be called at once, and should be
attended by every business man-those who real.
ize we'll those who do not. already appre.
ciate what up against.
1t is to be a fight to the death-there can be
no doubt of this-and it must be started at once
We must whip the railroads at their own game
admit that haven't the spirit to protect
what is ours.
