Fairfax Harrison Reviews Events
Leading Up To Present Strike
And Issues An Appeal

Washington, Aug, 19.-Coopera-
ton and assistance Of state, coJmtE
and municipal oficey: in the effort to
maintain transportation service is
asked by Fairfax Harrison. president
of the Southern Railway system, in
the following letter addressed 'To
the Puali> Ohicia!s Of the Souta.
Under the Transportation Act Of
1926 a Labor board was constituted
by the congress to adjudic&;e issues
between railway employees and man
agements as 10 wages and working
conditions.
IN the summer of 1920, on the
application OF employees. that board
ordered wages 70 be increased with
: retroactive effect to May /, 1920.
Southern Railway system obeye3
this order, as it has all other orders
of the labcr board, put the increased
wages into effect and paid the back
wages to the benefit of among others
its shop crafts, thereby az once Wip-
ing cut years profits ana making
necessary a suspension Of dividends
which have not s,nce been resumed,
IN the winter Of 1922, under
changed economic conditions. the Ia
bor soard had before it proposals 30
reduce the wages Of the shop crafts
when the shop crafts again sought
and had their day in coUrt.
Board Reduced Wages
After hearing both sides the labor
board entered its orders whicA among
other things reduced w&ges, e. g, Of
machinists from II to 20 cents per
hour.
Our men declined to work for the
wages and under the conditions pre-
scribed by the orders Of the labor
board, the jurisdiction of which they
had previously invoked tc their own
benefit.
The ,president of the United
States mediated in an attempt to ad-
just the dispute and made a proposi-
ton to both parties.
The shop crafts accepted this
proposition.
1.-The Southern Railway system no
tilted the shop crafts that it also ac-
cepted the presidents proposition
and invited all its men to return to
work with their seniority unimpaired.
Workers Declined
After procrastination upon the
part of the committee of the shop
crafts, they declined to negotiate
with the management Of Southern
Railway system and stated that the
issue must be settled nationally or
not at all.
For 45 days Southern Railway sys-
TEN has maintained its operations
under great handicaps by reasons Of
strike conditions, without material
curtaiIment CT service TO the public.
During this period the round
house work which has made it posi-
Bile so to carry on has been done by
officers and loyal employees Of other
departments of the service.
1T now seems that there is no
hope of an early national settlement
of the strike.
THE foregoing statement Of de-
velopments step by step is given you
in order that you may have an appre-
cation of the situation of the Sou
thern Railway system in lis relations
with its shop crafts up to the moment
of the nrpSent crisis

to operate our property that our men
could honorably return to work Ev-
cry effort has been made 10 settle
with our men, we have gone to the
extent CT Offering the terms that
they had previously agreed to accept.
We have thus held out every reason
able inducement, without result.
We must now turn TO employing
others, for the road must be run; we
must give those we employ pro.ec-
ton, for, it may be that those we
have up to this time protected by
keeping their jobs open may now
turn against us, even to an attempt
to prevent others from working.
Support is Asked
Call is now made upon every
employee, upon every patron, of this
company, and upon every citizen
along its lines, to rally to the support
of the road that has served you ard

your help we can run the road, and
We pledge all the resources of the
company to that end. If it means

then let Us have it now-not later
The new men which We Will now
employ must be protected in their in
ali,nable right to work through the
machinery provided by the law Of
the land. We will invoke that law
where found necessary. We are as
sured of the support Of the national
government in the stand We have
taken and we now ask for the COOP

STORE OF RI. J. BROWN
DESTROYED BY FIRE

Fire that broke out in the store
of Il. j. Brown near Palestine in
the fourteenth civil district Sun
day night spread rapidly and de
stroyed the building and contents.
The fire was probably of an in
cendiary origin. Mr.. Jones car
ried small stock of merchandise
which, we learn, was well insured.
The storehouse, a box structure,
was the property of Thomas carp.
Woody King came to Camden
and telephoned to Paris for blood
hounds. The dogs came quickly
and were hurried to Palestine, but
We have no reports of results, il
any, obtained.

from the Mason county jail here some
months ago. He was sentenced to n
four months term for sending a

Sheriff John F. Lewis was aroused
from his bed by the ringing of the jail

prised to find Colley standing there.
Colley said he had come back to eat.
He had wandered over several states
