THE EDITOR
THE RAILROAD STRIKE

FAIR.MoNT, July editor,
The West V1rginian)-The follow
Ing editorial from the Oklahoma
Leader is considered very pert1n-
ent at this time and we'll worthy
of the consideration of your read
ers:
THE PRESIDENT IS MISTAKEN
"B. NJ. Jewell--leader Of the
railroad shopmen.s strike-made
President Harding look like two
cents.
IN replying to Harding's class
conscious proclamation, Jewell
clearly Indicated the violations, by
the railroads. of the Transporta-
tion Act and of the decisions Of
the Railroad Labor Board They
won't even obey their OWL dearly
beloved Esch-Cummins Law. which
was passed for their benefit.
Regarding wages, Jewell says.
The board has abolished overtime
pay for Sundays and holidays. en-
joyed for thirty years even on I'M
organized roads. The board has
established a rate of pay of $500
a year, though the department Of
labor fixed the base cost OF living
at over s1,400, and minimum
comfort budget of 50. 800.
The amount fixed by the board
is 5000 below the least amount that
family of average size can live
on. Do you blame them for strik
ing? Why work at all. unless you
can get enough to live on?
Certainly, unmarried thugs and
gunmen-for that is the kind of
persons employers usually employ
as ikebreakers--could live ,on
$500 a year. They would not be
required to do that, however.
Theer IS no way to find out how
much such men get, but employers
are known to have paid scabs very
steep wages for the time being.
For, OF course, lit is not the pur-
pose to keep them on the job-the
object IN hiring them IS to break
the strike and force the regular
workers to 20 back without gaining
! anything
.'But-according to Harding
thugs and gunner have just as
much right to work as the regular
| 1aw-abiding and peace loving en-
ployes have to cease working
! He did not put it in those
words, of course. But man OF the
world such as he. is conclusfvely
presumed to know that strike:

ent jobs-men who love adventure

EAST SIDE LEADS.

Al HE EAST SIDE, in getting its new streets Is
getting additional lot OF benefits that
other parts of the town envy it. Water lines and
and sewer lines and fire plugs, all in excellent
shape where the work extends, means a
tremendous lot to the residents Of that part of
the city, and the fact that the telephone wires
are to go underground puts the East Side in the
lead the modern to handle cables.
Dozens of Fairmonters have had lively
wrangIes with the telephone companies the
placing of telephone poles, and the trimming of
shade trees to allow the passing OF the wires.
When ever the time comes that new poles must
replace old ones branches grow out to inter

company employees have rough time. 1t is TOO
bad that the city administration which preceded

The time will come when the of the city
will be as fortunate as the East Side however and

Then there will be interfering telephone poles

has been permitted So much that the observant
can not help but be astonished Some of it was
done through ignorance. Trees were needlessly
slashed by whose sole business it was to get
their wires through and in the clear. If the tele-
phone company, in erecting its poles and string
ing its wires had had expert tree trimmer to
direct operation of it's men, the public feeling
on this score would have been different AS it is

BISHOP E. T. DENBY OF THE
EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF AR
KANSAS VISITS DENVER.

a surprise visit from the Right Rev
erend DENLY, Suffragan Bishop of the
Episcopal Diocese of the Province of
Arkansas, was given the priest and
congregation of the Church of the
Holy Redeemer last Sunday, when
greetings were exchanged and beauti-
full "reminiscences of the life and work
of the parish delighted those whose
good fortune it was to sit under the
sound of the voice of the first Negro
to be elevated to the Episcopate of the
Protestant Episcopal Church, with as
signment in these United States.
The visit lent quite an impression,
as something historical is attached to
the relationship of the Bishop and the
Church of the Holy Redeemer, he hav
ing been confirmed a member here
and devoted some portion of his min
istry to this cause. A large congrega-
ton listened attentively to resume
of the work of the parish since its
founding and the real missionary work
that has been accomplished, in his
preliminary statements, and then be-
came greatly interested in the address
of the Bishop on his work in Arkan-
SaS, which was very touching as the
many and varied experiences were re-
lated. The Bishop eXhorted his hear
ers not TO lose heart, but run with
patience the race set before them, and
encouraged both priest and members
to fight on until the power of their
work is felt in the community, and in
Vulnerable blessings will be theirs.
Bishop DENLY is a very powerful,
forceful and impressive speaker, and
endeared himself to the people during
his short stay. He was accompanied
by Mrs. DENLY. They left Monday eve
ming to attend the Triennial Conven-
ton of the Episcopal Church in Port
land, Ore.
