JewelI's Statement.

The letter, in part, follows:
I'm acknowledging receipt OF an order
OF the board purportins to outlaw 4OO,-
600 permanently organized railway en-
ployees and to grant recognition TO such
temporary organizations of floating
workers and professional strike breakers
as the railroad arrangements may be
a bel TO develop we wish to advise tnat
the statements contained in the resolu-
tion of the board are in many respects
quite inaccurate.
Il The organized employers are not
Combating the labor board or the Gov
ernment.
80 The organized employees are en-
gagged in a dispute with the manage
ment of the railroads.
49, The labor board has failed in
its effort to decide this dispute by OBJ
tanning an agreement upon wages and
working conditions acceptable to both
parties.
"A. There is nothing in any lawful
decision of the board to prevent such
an agreement being reached between the
carriers and their employees at any time
in the future.
"5. The resolution adopted by the
board to-day simply means that the
board has accepted its failure to bring
shout an agreement, and the acceptance
or that same fact by the employees can
not be honestly described as fight
against the Labor Board or the Govern
ment.
&c. The organised employees, in their
demand to maintain the American STAN
dard of living and to combat the inten-
ton of organized money power to break
down that standard, are upholding and
lighting for the institutions which the
Government of the United States was
ordained to protect and to preserve
"The history of the recent conduct OF
the board is a history of repeated in
iuries and usurpations. all having in di-
yect object the establishment of tyranny
over the workers engaged in the trans
portation industry.
How far the board in its recent de-
cisions has failed to follow the law is
most vividly shown in considering the
lowest wage fixed by the board, because
Il inevitably follows that if he mimi
mum wage fixed is below the ievei OF a
just and reasonable wage then all wages
graduated upward from that wage will
be below the proper level.
THE board has attempted to establish
wages which for a large percentage OF
the men concerned will not provide the
minimum amount found by Government
officials 10 be necessary to MAINTAIN a
worker and his family in a condition OF

ut is very great privilege to be a
guest of the city of Marion on the oc-
casion of its celebration of the Tooth
anniversary Of it's birth and to partici-
pate with you in doing honor to our
greatest citizen.
Beginning as far back as the Revo-
luton itself the history of the people
of this section of our common country
runs parallel to that of the nation as
whole. The same incentive that
prompted the fearless colonists to
brave the terrors of an uncharted sea
seeking an unknown country where
they might live and worship according
to the dictates of their own conscience
urged your forbears to establish them
selves beyond the Alleghenies into
that all embracing Northwest terri
tory, there to carve cut a common
wealth whose rugged populace should
exert a remarkable influence for good
upon the destinies of the nation.
''Of old colony stock, the people Of
Ohio have ever been Jealous of their
inheritance of liberty, and the sane
laws enacted in the upbuilding of the
State have set high the standards OF
law and order. while the wise deci-
sions of your jurists have become the
guide to justice for younger States

velopment in everything that prodces

A SANE, SENSIBLE

Want is bitter and hateful

Yet may things, impossible to

ton brought.-Dryden.
The diversified agricultural
program which the local Cham
Der Of Commerce is striving
with all of it's resources and
energies to put over is such 4
sane, sensible system that it
would seem no argument would
be required to put it over, yet
eft times actual want is needed
to make people see things which
it would seem that common,
every day sense would make
them see. Many man, through
absolute necessity, is forced to
do things which all the time he
knew should be done, yet he
waited to be driven to it. The

There are counties throughout
the south which are absolutely

other, where not a single time
merchant is left, where banks
have gone down, and the same
fate awaits this community if we

are disagreeable facts, but they
must be faced. We feel that W..
