 Railroads are not seeking to destroy the seniority of king employees, but merely to subordinate their seniority to those employees who have remained at work
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-07-28

It is for railroad owners to de- eide what they should do. Admitting that men have right to strike-the President and the laws say they have-the question is; Is 1t wise to punish them for striking by con- fiscating their seniority rights?
 Railroads now are functioning only 50 per cent, the public does not threaten to confiscate their right of way or other assets. Intelligent men should know enough to avoid threats and avoid arousing hatreds unnecessarily.~

ANOTHER JUDGE
SEEMS ASSURED
The Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
623 Riggs Building.
nv THE0DGRE THLER

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-The
judgeship bill, which gives the
northern district of Georgia an addi-
tional federal judge, is expected to
come from the senate Judiciary COM
mittee within the next week, and
the committee is understood already
to have approved that part of the
subcommittee bill carrying the new
judge for Georgia. --
The full committee is now at work
ON the bill as framed by the subcom-
mittee as a substitute for a judge
ship bill which passed the house
some weeks ago. However, there are
contested items in the measure rela-
tive to court procedure and this has
delayed action by the full senate
committee. There is no controversy,
it is stated, relative to that part of
the bill authorizing the appointment
of thirteen additional judges tore
lieve congestion in the federal courts
of the country. Among these thir-
teen is an additional judge for Geor-
gia.
The house bill provided for eight
cen additional judges, but the senate
has reduced the number to thirteen.
Furthermore, the house bill did not
| include. khe northern district of GeOr-
gia, but the senate committee has
inserted this and no opposition lis
expected in the house since members
Of the Georgia delegation are in po-
sition to demonstrate that the court
business in Georgia requires an addf-
tional district judge.
This judge would be assigned to
the northern district, but would also
be available for service at odd times
in the southern district. Senators
Harris and Watson expect the judge
ship bill to get q favorable report
from the full judiciary committee of
| the senate within a few days, pos
sibly before the emo, of this week.

Secretary DENLY said it was desir-

not affect the ship to be retained,
and the vessel to be scrapped will
not be broken up until the treaty

said.

COTTON MARKET OPINIONS

Mund, Rogers & Stackpole AS the mar
ket gains in strength we expect to see 1t
disclose fresh bullish features that will
carry prices considerably higher.
Hirsch, Lilienthal & Co.: The market
looks like purchase on all recessions.
Houseman & Co.: We believe sales can
be made on much further advance.
Bache & Co.: We think the market is
high enough for the present, if not too high.
Moyse & Holiness: 1t is our opinion the
Irish situation the India trouble and the
strikes in eastern mills will retard, but
will not prevent an advance in cotton, as
the fundamentals are very bullish and these
influences are only temporary.

decline we do not look for any weakness
in our market except a little profit taking
