! Attorney General Daugherty with all the power
of the courts and government has used that power
to prosecute the men and illegally raid their offices
seized their private papers and turned them over
to the Receiver of the A. B. ga. railroad to be in
spected and copied in their efforts to break down
the morale of the men who went out on strike
March S. 1921.
Appeal after appeal has been made to President
Harding, Senator Cummins, and other members of
Congress, and to the United States Labor Board,
calling on them to require the management of the
A. B. & A. railroad to obey the5decisions of the
Labor Board and put these men back on their Jobs
All that these appeals accomplished was more
persecution by Attorney General Daugherty's De-
partment. These prosecutions are now going on
with renewed energy in the frantic efforts to de
stroy labor organizations
The record in the A. B. & A. case is dark blot
On our courts, the Labor Board and the govern
ment in general.
Isn't 1T rather late in the day for Senator Cum
Minis and the President to say that the Labor Board
decisions are binding and can be enforced? Had
the President and the Labor Board taken this view
of the Labor Boards authority II months ago
when the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic Rail-
road Haunted the law in its face, there would be
peace in railroad circles today, but alas they failed
to function
he Labor Board and the government will again
tall to do their duty or to nete out justice unless
they take action to force B. L. Bugg, receiver OF
the A. b. q A. railroad and all of his henchmen to
obey the Transportation Act and restore the men
wholeft the service of said road when the road re-
fused to obey decisions of the Board.
Common decencv and Gin, rIa ;,,e+:oo Jo...a.,
and any settlement of the present strike that does
not include these men who have fought to uphold
the hand OF the government and the Labor Board
Will be farce and travesty on Justice This pa
per pleads with Chairman Hooper to show his man
hood and courage by standing by the men who
walked out on the A. B. & A. to back him up.'

Young Vanderbilt burst into the newspaper pro-

New York Herald. On thirty dollar week sal
airy he rode to business in his high-powered motor
car He tried to be good fellow and nothing of
snob SO it did not take long for the speedster
vanish and for the young millionaire to set aside
some Of his preconceived notions of the newspaper
profession.
Seemingly the young has not prospered I'M
der assignment, and hopes to make better Roadway
under his own direction, hence we see him furnish
ing news to the great metropolitan journals some
of which is published.
Presumably he has sensed the value of publicity.

attached to his enterprise undoubtedly he will have

chaff Young Vanderbilt has the opportunity of
lifetime for public service if he can measure I'D.
On the one hand declining to become the vehicle for
industrial exploitation, and on the other refranng
from too vivid expression of the sociastic view
that seem to have tinged his mentality since he
rubbed elbows with the world
When his grandfather lay dying reporters were
turned away from the Vanderbilt home as ANNOYING
pests, type of life too insignificant to warrant
courteous treatment. The world do move Young
Vanderbilt is reporter. The operations of the
Vanderbilt News Service will be watched by the

LABOR BOARD DECISIONS BINDING,
SAYS SEN. CIIMMINS -rho f1l.-,:, :,

-'' ~ A'AANAAN lie following from the
southern Labor Review of BIRMINGHAM Ala
senator Cumnlins says the Railroad Labor Board
Decisions are Binding" on both carriers and en-
pioyees and could be enforced President Hard;no
says the same thing
The government, Senator Cummins held can
compel obedience to the rulings of the Board ,o+-
withstanding the fact that the TRANSFORMATION Act
provides no penalty
we ask why the transportation Act was not en-
forced IN the Atlanta Birmingham and Atlantis
Railroad case, where the managers of the above
railroad openly and wantonly refused to abide NV
the decision of the Board and to recognize its auth
ority in any way when the men struck to uphold
the Beard,
Furthermore, this railroad dismissed tbe hoard
OF mediation and Cancellation sent down from,
Washington, with the blunt statement thew had
nothing to mediate or arbitrate Not one effort
has the government made tosforce the A. B. g. A..
railroad to obey the law
In all OF these high-handed proceedings the rail-
road has been backed up by friendly United
states Judge. We were taught to believe courts
were made to uphold the law, but it seems to de-
pend on whose OK is gored

GEORGE GOULD WILL SAY GOODBYE

The report that George Gould will live permanent
~ abroad with his old friend and new wife, when
the Gould affairs shall have been settled in this
country, causes no establishment among those who
know how the house Of Gould has WINGED under
publicity that has engulfed the family name in SEN
sationasm.
Notoriety and the Goulds have been almost syn
onymous ever since the elder Jay Gould barricaded
himself in the Grand Opera House, New York,
years ago to escape the murnurs Of an excited pop
ulace The experience of Anna Gould with her
funny little busted French count, the battle over
the Casteane children the anony controversy,
Countess Annals second marriage to simon pure
prince, the internal squabble over the manner in
which brother George handled the Gould monies
and other incidents have served to keep the family
before the public unfortunate light for years.
Previously the experience of George Gould with
the dainty but determined leila Nicolaus gave ev-
en- sensational reading to gossip loving pub
lie. Indeed, it was not until actress Edith
Kingdom, entered the family that the Gould name
was restored to the higher public regard
Perhaps no woman in recent times performed a
duty as wife and mother so sweetly, so splendidly
as Edith Kingdom Her lonely death on the golf
links seemed poor reward for the nobility of her
service.
The American nation will probably say good bye
to George Gould with passing interest, but the
stage should remember him.
He has been the vehicle through which ma
gned profession point to the fact that actress
es can be splendid types of womanhood even if
there be black sheep and loose morals herded side
by side with them.

TAKING 1T OUT OF WAGES

wrongs of the railroad situation whatever they
may be, will all be tested sooner or later bv this
truth: COMPETENT MANAGEMENT NEVER
DRAWS IT'S OPERATING CAPITAL. OUT of
THE PAY ENVELOPES OF IT'S EMPLOYEES
The very cheapest way and the most stupid way
to make both ends meet is to cut wages. There is
something SO supremey futile about it that it is no
wonder the railroad managers got the government
10 make 1t appear official by having government
department approve the cut 1t was unjust to the
government as it was to the men and to railroadine
as service. Railroading AS A SERVICE would
never have needed to cut wages. Railroadng as
a SERVICE would have been able to raise wages
and reduce freight rates. 1t is not RAILROAD
INC that is responsible for what has been done:
banker management and stock jobbing and whole
sale dividend driving are responsible The strike
that should have occurred long ago was the strike
OF the real railroad managers against using rail
ioad properties as the roulette wheels of the stock
market Such strike would have prevented what
mas occurred the last 10 years and would have saved
our railroads. AS it is now they have lost their
enance Railroads now are not good enough even
LOT wall Street to take chance on. Wall Street
values the movies at higher rate
FOR the sake of the days business, the strike
oughtto be settled NOW. For the sake Of next
coal for the people, the strike ought to be
settied NOW But the wider problem involved in
tne strike means nothing and will settle nothing
stronger forces than strike are at work To abol
ish the basic irrtant of the entire s;tuat;orDeor

can't you name the great leaders of comme~ce who
built up their enterprises WITHOUT ADVER-
Using? It's never been done has it?
~ On the other hand, great commercial successes,
since the dawn of history have been erected large

say? Wrong again. Read below:
Newspapers COME first on the advertising budget
OF Fred r Mann, Devils Lake, n d., country mer-
chant whose store does nearly million dollar bus
mess ayear This much he told retail dealers who
gathered at Boulder, Mint, last week for their an
nual convention. Mr.. Mann is known the country
over for his achievements in building million
dollar store business in a small community started
in business with SIS capital Through whole
sale house he was given time" on ST 900 stock
newspaper friend urged him to tell the public
ABOUT what ne had to sell through newspaper col
umns' lie did this when other merchants were
satisfied to carry only card in the paper
The first year Mr.. Mann did business of S23,-
ooo He continued to use newspaper space Judi
'eiousy and has kept at it ever since Now the
fixtures i'll his store alone are valued at $4,000
Mr. Mann said that after taking the presidency
ct the North Dakota association, he sent out ques-
tionaires from which he learned that seventy-fiv
per cent of the merchants of the state did not adj
Vertise and that ten per cent advertised only be-
cause they wanted to help out their local paper.
At the same time he said the mail orders were
sending seventy two car loads of catalogues into
the state and it was repored by wholesale houses
that seventy-two per cent of the merchants were
nsolvent. He said he took up a campaign to in
duce the country merchants to go on cash basis
and to advertise, and he has since succeeded in
bringing 200 of them around to his system.
Mr.. Merchant You don't have to do business in
Dakota nor belong to Mr. Mann's association to
do business under his system.
START NOW! Right here in your home town.

you when he lays down his own money to furnish
YOU with big advertising service like this
