GOVERNOR SEES NEW ERA IN
BAY TRANSPORTATION"


trucks and passengers, using the An
napolis-Claiborne Ferry, as we'll as
more frequent and more rapid SER
vice, were forecast by Governor
Herbert r. O'Conor, in signing the
measure providing for purchase of
the Ferry by the State.
Hailing the now approved ac-
QUESTION by the Roads Commission
of the Ferry property as "a new
era in Bay transportation" Cover
nor O'Conor declared that, i'm sign
ing the measure, he was legalizing
forward step that had been one of
the fondest hopes of the present adj
ministration.
In the presence of Senator Dudley
G. Roe, of Queen Anne's County,
who had introduced the measure;
Peoples Counsel Joseph Sherbow,
who conducted the recent Ferry rate
hearing that really opened the way
for purchase by the State; and a
large group of Eastern Shore bust
nessmen, representatives of the
State Roads Commission, and 9TH
ers, Governor O'Conor said in affix-
ing his signature: GAS l declared
some time ago, / am anxious that
there be reduction in passenger,
truck and automobile rates effective
of course, after acquisition by the
State. The very purpose in purchas-
ing these facilities is to make pos
sible cheaper transportation over the
Bay. These contemplated reductions,
plus the more frequent and more
rapid trans-Bay service planned,
will work to the benefit of the entire
State, I feel sure, in bringing about
greater use of the Ferry facilities by
all our people, and thus promoting
an increase in travel throughout
the various sections of the State.
7 Purchase Price Low
''The State acquires the Ferry
properties at what consider most
satisfactory price. The increased
costs involved in ship construction
make it apparent that the price of
slightly over $1,000,000 is far less
than 1T would cost to replace the
equipment now in service and opera
ton.
"The public convenience and econ
omy convinced me that the State
should acquire this vital link in our
transportation facilities. Upon the
conclusion of the valuation and rate
case SO ably conducted by People s
| haf
Public Service Commission, 1 be-
came convinced that we should take
over the existing Ferry Service il
the property could be purchased al
reasonable figure.
''The valuation set by the Public
Service Commission was $1,O38,OOO
as compared with the figure of over
$1,8O0,000 contended for by the
Company. Thereupon, 1 directed the
State Roads Commission to study
the problem and advise me of their
recommendations This body agreed
with my belief that the Ferry Ser
vice was an integral part of the
State Roads System and as such
should be State owned and operated
p. s. G. Valuation Accepted
with the entire approval of the
administration, negotiations were
had with the Ferry Company off.
Gals by the State Roads Commission
and Peoples Counsel and it was
finally agreed that the Ferry would
be sold to the State for the exact
amount of the valuation set by the
Public Service Commission. The Bill
now being signed provides for the
issuance of revenue bonds so thai
the purchase price may be paid.
And SO we close one chapter in
Bay Transportation and embark or
another.

FEDERAL TRADE
BY ]. E. Jones

Washington, May 19--Fifty years
ago the suspicion arose that there
should be laws against trusts and
monopolies and so the Serman Anti
Trust Act was enacted. Within the
past few years Federal Trade has ex-
tended rapidly because the develop
ment of transportation and easy ac-
cess to broadened territories has
made it possible for men at machin-
es, counters, desks, and on farms, to
do large part of their business
across State lines. The proof of this
is found in your local stores where
everything from every part of the
United States seems to be "in sea-
SON.. This change of conditions has
been met in large measure by the
Federal Trade Commission investi-
cations and prosecutions of unfair
methods of competition and decep-
tive acts or practice in interstate
commerce.
The Securities and Exchange Com
mission started few years ago to
supervise the registration of securi-
ties and suppress fraudulent prac-
tices in the sale of new securities.
The Federal Power Commission, a
half dozen years ago took over jur-
isdiction of water power projects on
navigable streams.
The Social Security Board set UP
unemployment compensation" in
1899.
Labor laws and Boards have come
into existence in recent years.

shipping.
| Banking has been drafted under
Government control.
Through all these various process
Federal trade and Federal affairs
have been centralized under contro
of the Government at Washington
and the States have usually relin
pushed that authority over all sucf
matters with the unfortunate result
that the old-time spirit of partner
ship between employers and EN-
ployes no longer. is encouraged il
high places.

Public Partnerships

Several hundred trade and bust
ness organizations are located in
Washington. The largest of these
also the two big labor unions--main-
tain offices and headquarters i'm the
National Capital. The centraliza-
ton of authority and control over
the entire country has been gradual
ly strengthened and established over
a period of more than 20 years. The
result is that wage increases, hours;
rules governing Federal trade, fin
ance, costs of living, profits of in
dustries--and taxes, which are more
important than anything else--are no
longer decided in the old ways of
popular government. Instead they
are 'made-in- Washington, and
that's where the American public
shows up in the background of the
big picture. Strikes have been en-
couraged in Washington, and the
higher wage scales have cut down
the profits of employers. One way
to adjust this loss of business has
been through higher prices. But that
brings on higher costs Of living. So
that while everybody pays more
taxes every year for value receiv-
ed" in the end no one gets ahead.
The American Red Cross
Very few people realize what a
range of activities are directed from
the American Red Cross national
headquarters in Washington. There
is no method of human service that
is overlooked, no kind of trouble in
the human family which is not met.
Recently there was a significant
ceremony at the Walter Reed Hos
pital in Washington, where Briga-
der General Shelley U. Marietta,
Commandant of the Army Medical
Center, delivered an informative adj
dress explaining the part of the
Gray Lady Unit, whose activities
were feature of the annual Red
Cross convention held in Washing
ton. A large and impressive gather
ing witnessed the presentation of
certificates by General Marietta, and
the presentation of Pins by Mrs.
Henry R. Rae. honorary chairman
of Gray Ladies' of the American Red
Cross. The famous U. S. Army Band
was present and upheld it's high mu-
steal standards. Mrs. Ella Burt
Claussen of New York City, one of
the twenty-one Gray Ladies to re-
ceive graduate honors, explained to
the writer Of this item the distinc-
tive character of service performed

Licking Young Men
Are Nominated To
Military Academy

Congressman Harry j. Nc
Gregor, announced this week
that based on a preliminary ex-
animation held in Mansfield in
October by the Civil Service
Commission, that he has nomin-
ated the following from Licking
county to the Naval or Military
Academy:
Wilbur Tiemann, son of DR..
w. F. Tiemann, Newark (prin-
cipaD; Donald M. Layton,
Johnstown (principaD, and Jas.
Walter Cocanour, Newark (now
serving at the Naval Air Station,
Jacksonville, Fla.) as third al
ternate.
These young men will be sub
ject to the mental and physical
requirements of the Navy De-
partment in order to qualify for
admission to Annapolis. The
successful candidates will enter
the Academy in June or July,
1912. The fact that Congress
man McGregor has been called
upon to nominate candidates to
fill two vacancies at West Point
and four at Annapolis makes it
possible for him to give a num-
Der of ambitious and worthy
young men of the Seventeenth
district these splendid opportuni-
ties.

Christmas

We wrote a Christmas
editorial to be used in this
issue several weeks ago -
before the United States
became involved in war.
Strangely, in our opinion,
what has happened does not
seem to conflict with the
thoughts expressed. Per-
haps our readers, at this
Holy season will agree with
us. The editorial follows:
There is no question that
from a commercial angle
and an economic standpoint
the Christmas season in this
year of 1941 is one of the
most pleasant Americans
have experienced since the
days of 1929. Human ma
ture is such that adequate
finance and the Christmas
spirit go hand in hand. But,
the true meaning and spirit
of the Yuletide season is
hardly a commercial one.
We believe that, as never
before, the American people
should get closer to the true
meaning of Christmas, of
peace On Earth, Good Will
To Men"
Dark days are ahead.
In the last analysis it is only
with the fundamental teach
igns of the Babe that was
born in the manger at Beth
lehem, and strict adherence
to them, that peace can
again be brought to a war
ring world.
Let us renew our faith
and follow the Star of the
East that we and all the
peoples of all the earth will
find once again peace On
Earth, Good Will To Men"

with the government in eff
forts to have defense orders
given to factories in smaller
cities in order to keep those
factories open.
1t was revealed that many
thousands of workers have al
ready been laid off in Ohio be-
cause factories have been forced
to close down. This is especially
true in Dayton in General Moto-
ors and Frigidaire plants, where
over 5000 are out of work.
1t was emphasized that this
waste of manpower is deplor-
able, and that defense and sue
cessful prosecution of the war
depends upon workers through
out the land being kept at jobs.
Due to the enormously grow
ing use of plastic materials the
metal polishers organization en-
comprising some 100000 mem
bers is due for extinction unless
men can be put to work in some
other phase of industry.
A state priOrities committee
has been named to represent
all affiliated organizations of
the Ohio State Federation of
Labor, in coming Washington
conferences, in an effort to
work out priOrities to keep
all workers employed.
In closing the conference Pres
ident Lyden called upon Secre-
tary Donnelly for a few re-
marks. Lyden called to the at
tention of the delegates a reso-
luton introduced by Donnelly
and adopted by the 1896 confer
ence Of the Ohio State Fedora
tion of Labor, entitled "Democ-
racy and Dictatorship" in which
Donnelly with uncanny fore
sight predicted the struggle the
world is in today, and that the
United States would again play
the all-important role of throw
ing the balance wheel in favor
of liberties won upon thous-
and battlefields."
Labor knows what is meant
by In unity there is strength
said DOnnelly. 'In these trying
times we must not forget that
there are good clean upright peo-
pie of the German race who have
always fought for Individual
rights and liberties, but that
they have come under domination
of machine from which they
cannot extricate themselves"
continued the secretary.
Nothing | could say here to-
day would make better union
members out of you than the fact
the Axis powers have liquidated
the labor movement in every
country they have conquered" +"
said Donnelly. 'Trade unionism
has furnished the clearest mean
ing of democracy through the
years . it rests upon all of us
to conduct ourselves so that
public can look on and realize
that the trades union movement
is conducted by good men, men
who have the we'll being of the
rank and file at heart" Don
nelly emphasized.
"The Cleveland Act brought
home the fact to industrialists
that Labor is not a commodity
:. f.. the Wagner Act, while not
perfect, is a long step in the
right direction. Time was that
when the factory door shut be-
hind the worker he had nothing
to say of salary, working hours,
or right of collective bargaining
:. the worker was a slave and
totally at the mercy of the en-
ployer. That is not true today
:. we have come a long, long
way, and the worker of today
enjoys what the Constitution and
the Bill of Rights ordained that
he should have . and we are
ready to fight to the last drop
of blood to see that the true
home of Democracy wins this
struggle"
