"ONE OF THE FINEST CAMPAIGNS
| HAVE EVER ENTERED"
Director of Library Drive Deeply Grateful for
Wonderful COOPERATION and Friendship
of People of Delasvare

Oble of Delaware

Although still forging along at
high speed in his efforts to wind up
the Library Campaign, and with his
office door continually opening to ad-
nit some member of his staff for a
hurried conference, the director of
the great Statewide Memorial Lii
brary Drive still had time to talk for
a little while upon his impressions and
comments which he had saved up dur
ing his activity in this section. And
when l called early Monday morning
he was ready and as soon as | could
find seat and before could think of
a question he was off. That's the type
of man he is-energetic, forceful and
dynamic. He never waits for you.
He is usually several steps ahead
And while he talked-easily and
steadily, he accomplished dozen lit
tie jobs waiting on his desk for his
attention. Of course, he is man
we'll trained and accustomed to the
rush and hustle of a campaign. Cam
paigning is his vocation. But it is
nevertheless a treat to watch him at
the helm. When l asked him at the
close of the interview for a short
farewell message to the people of
Newark and the State, he paused and
for some time was wrapped in
thought. Finally he arose and strobe
over to the window and gazed over
the house tops of Wilmington, bright
and cheerful looking in the bright
morning sunlight.
"Tell Them" he said, that ! am
loathe to leave this little State.
have never been accorded the welcome
and cooperation from so many won
derful people in all my experience il
this work. To the friends of the Uni
versity and to the people of Newark
who showed the way in this great
Undertaking, have nothing but praise
to offer them. Without their support
| would have failed. With their sup
port, l succeeded. / wish I could, il
parting, shake the hands of these flint
people, but since that is impossible,
want to take this opportunity to con
graduate them for bringing to a sue
cessful close this effort to build upoI
the campus of the State Universit,
living Memorial to those who gave
their lives in the service of thei1
country"
Mr.. Perry Burgess is native Of
Missouri, and received his college
training in Kansas. Shortly after his
graduation he came East for post
graduate work. He began campaign
ing in 1917 with the Near East Relief
out of Pittsburgh. He was the Ma.
tional Field Director during their first
two campaigns.
Following this work, he plunged
into the war drives for the Liberty
Loans and then Red Cross. In all his
campaigns he achieved marked sue
cess and was recognized over the
country as one of the ablest of the
! young campaigners. A few years age
he organized an international cam
paign in the interests of the DR.. Gren
fell expedition to the sufferers in Lab
rador. This campaign took in Eng
land, New Foundland, Canada and thu
United States. He travelled man!
Newark post. (Newark, Del.) 1910-1969, 1922-11-01

months upon the sea along the East
coast of Canada with DR.. Grenfell, and
also spent several months in Europe
in the interests of the expedition.
Following this he has conducted all
kinds of hospital, church, civic and
State campaigns throughout the coun-
try. Following his departure from
Delaware, Mr.. Burgess goes directly
to Richmond, Va, where he will con-
duct campaign starting today.
A Few Impressions
According to Mr.. Burgess, there are
three things which impress a visitor
to the State Of Delaware, and they
are, first, the ever present feeling of
State pride-a fine token of the love
of home and freside; second, the 10y
atty of the people of all classes and
creeds to the institutions and tradi-
tons of their State; and third, that
unlike so many larger communities,
the people of Delaware come from the
old stock, their families date back to
the first settlers, their sterling quail
ties of citizenship and state pride have
the beginning in the knowledge that
they are decended from the nations
pioneers.
There are many phases of the
Drive which could easily discuss. but
l believe the high points of the whole
affair were the showing made by the
University and the town of Newark,
the great demonstration in Rodney
Square last week and the interest
shown in the project by the people not
even remotely connected with the Uni
versity. To be sure, large gifts from
the rich men of the State were great
factors in the success of the Drive,
but when it is realized that perhaps
$4,000 people of the State contributed,
there is no doubt that they are right
behind the Memorial at all times"
Mr.. Burgess was particularly graft
fled at the manner in which the men
and women who were on the hundreds
of committees and teams gave up
their valuable time to the work. He
figured that at least 800 people gave
up approximately week each of free
labor. This amounts to 5000 weeks,
or about Is years of time was freely
given to the cause by business men
and women of the State.
"Some day." said this seasoned cam
paigner, ~ want to come back to lit
tie Delaware, not in the capacity of a
campaign director, nor as business,
but just as Perry Burgess, and / want
to see the day when l may renew the
warm friendships and acquaintance
which it has been my pleasure to en-
joy in these eight short weeks.
Whether that will ever be possible /
don't know. At all events, l shall al
ways keep a warm spot in my heart
for Delaware-the First State"
By this time I knew the interview
was over as far as he was concerned.
Things were beginning to hum in the
outer office and once more Perry Bur-
CESS, campaigner, buckled into the
harness and began driving through
another day, full of vim and dash and
abundant faith.

EROM the American Federation of
l. Labor came an appeal to its four
million members to give their moral
and financial support To the striking
shopmen. 1t attributes to "the small
but powerful group of bankers who
control the finances of the railroads"
the adoption of policy by the rail-
roads of "bitter antagonism to the
organizations of the workers." reas-
sorting what many unprejudiced per-
sons believe, namely, that there is a
deliberate plan to destroy the unions.
Most of the sporadic strikes of
brotherhood men soon came to an end,
but last week the Southern railroad
was badly tied up by walkouts of
train and engine men. The situation
became so serious that the superin-
tendent OF mails in the southern dis
trict planned to handle mails by mo-
tortruck service with the possibility
of calling on the army to handle and
protect the trucks.
Secretary of War Weeks said he
did not believe the administration
would make further attempts to set
tie the railway strike. and added:
"The government is not going to per-
NIT transportation service to break
down."

g ENIORITY rights were still block
- ing a settlement Of the railway
shopmen's strike as last week drew to
81 close, and though peace efforts were
continued, their success was worse
than problematical in view of the I'M
compromising stand of both sides on
the chief point in dispute. On Wednes-
day the Association of Railway Execu-
tives, by a vote of 254 to 4, rejected
the proposal of the chiefs of the
brotherhoods, acting as mediators,
that the strikers be reinstated with
seniority unimpaired. The brother
hood leaders, after comforting with
heads of other rail unions, suggested
the possibility of separate agreements
with the railroads, and the executives
said they would test the sincerity of
this proposal, but with the distinct
understanding that any individual
settlement would have to conform to
the understanding of seniority reached
at the general session of the execu-
tives. Most of the railroads also re-
fuse to agree to take back all of the
strikers, as consistently demanded by
the union.
Bert M. Jewell, spokesman for the
strikers, was pessimistic as to peace
full settlement. He issued a state
ment saying:
1.-THE association of railway execu-
tives has closed the door. The unions
have offered every concession within
reason to end the strike and to save
the public from breakdown of trans
portation, but the association has
made none. On the contrary it has,
since the strike began, raised an en-
tirely new and irrelevant issue of its
own-seniority and by it's refusal to
recede from it's position has made a
settlement impossible at this time.
The responsibility for what will hap
pen now rests wholly upon 1t.
1.-THE shop craft employees voted in
June for a strike to establish living
wage and decent working conditions.
The association of railway executives
have now voted for a lockout to
smash unionism on the railroads and
to eliminate collective bargaining
from the industry.
"The 100000 striking employees ac-
cept the challenge of the association.
We redouble our efforts, confident of
success"
