UNRESTING ARTICLE
ON WAGES RECEIVED
BY RAILROAD HANDS
One of the most enlightening artk
cles on the railroad strike is writ
ten for the Washington (D. C.) News
by Frank J. Taylor. Many people
have wondered why if any group was
going to strike it was not the main
tenance of way workers rather than
the machinists. The former are the
, poorest paid of ail railway workerrs.
The Railroad Ijibftr Board reduced
their wages to 32.7 cents per hour.
This was done over the protest of the
three memberrs of the board repre
senting labor. The idea of having
labor representee on the board was
to get the labor point of view and in
passing it might be pertinent to ask
what was the use of having labor
represented if the recommendations
were to be ruthlessly over-ridden?
Thirty-two and seven tenths an
hour for a man with a family is not
an income calculated to enable him
to pile up a fortune quickly. Labor
members of the Hoard pointed out
that assuming that full time \.
be made (this is very rare) the wage
would be $66.71 a month.
* Applying department of labor stat
istics on the family budget to the sec
tion hand's monthly earning of $66.71
this table shows where the money
goes each month:
Food , $20.00
Clothing ! 11.07
Housing 8.94
Fuel and light «... 3.64
Furniture, etc 3.40
Miscellaneous 14.48
That is what he would do with his
income, if he followed the depart-,
inent of labor advice.. However, lu>
might not find a place to live foi
$8.94 —more thau likely, he coud not.
His food allowance in a normal fami
ly of Ave would mean this, each day:
Husband 26.3 cents
Wife 22.7 cents
12-year-old boy .22.7 cents
6-year-old boy 10.1 cents
2-year-old boy - 3.8 cents
A study of these figures will lead
to the conclusion that no meml>er ot
the family would be suitably nourish
ed.
Under such circumstances one
would have expected the greatest
complaint over, reduced warges from
the section forces. But the fact was
that on their small pay they were in
much less favorable condition to pro'
test in the from of a strike than the
shopmen were. They didn't strike
because they eoudn't. The Washing
ton writer says:
The Maintenance of Way Brother
hood is the front line trench of lhe
railroad labor movement. The main
tenance of way men did not strike,
but the Federal Shop Craft did.
First, the shop crafts were stroig
er,and were able to strike. Second,
Iney were one s.'ep above the main
tenance of way men in wage* ant
living conditions, their wages being
N biased upon the right t a detent
standard of living plus reward lor
"training and slid'. ieiuired and re
bi»-insibi!ity." Th ti.e reduction
in their wages niea it, they contended
- a- living standard their
level.
But their main line of denfense, in
reports to the labor board, is a pro
test against the wage reduction for
the Maintenance of Way Brotherhood
which did not (or could not) strike.
Whatis behind the railroad labor
strike, in the view of labor leaders,
is a fight to the end of endurance for
a decent standard of livinig for all
labor, one that will save their fami
lies from want.
This, of course, is the labor side
"of it.tr Th' railroads point to the
(K >or ijjeturn on investment, to the ad
vances which labor has received, to
the fact that the cost of living has
declined, to the demand for lower
freight rates which they say can
not be given until ihe labor prices are
deflated.
But the humane person is bound to
be very strongly impressed fcy . the
cause of labor, more especially when
he accepts the view of the writer
qu* ifa above that the shop crafts are
actiiiy In behalf of the humble sec
tion hands as well as themselves and
to feel that ihe railroads have made
a mistake In asking for the reduc
tion and the labor board has similar
ly erred in granting them. Unless
the railroads ctjn put up a better case
than they have done, It would seem
that public opposition is likely to line
,tl»at public opinion is likely to lne up
v in oposition to their contentions.
In the meantime it !» much oi»
hoped that the workers will not allow
their sense of Injustice to tehu them
into violations of law. There ifi no
thing to be' gained and much to be
lost from such a coursre.

NECRO FARM DAIRY PROBLEM;
The Negro Dairy Problem will b$
discussed by experts from the State-
Department of Agriculture. It will be
worth any farmers' while to canie to
the Faripers' Congress „August Bth.
and 9th. and learn the value and place
of a cow on the farm. Certainly the
milk cow is the farmers' greatest
friend but he has failed to realize it
because he has not known his friend.
A far mand home are incomplete with
out a milk cow. Many a child is de
formed, many go to premature graves,
many are walking around in the I
world weakling, because the farmer
does not know the value of his friend
the Dairy Cow.
At the A. and T. College during the
farmers' Congress, there will be ou
exhibition in frornt of the main !
building a typical dairy cow. There
will also be a demonstration in groom
ing and miling, showing the farmer
how to protect his family from harm
ful germs by the proper cleanl'ness
in handling milk. While milk is one
of the greatest blessings of the home
if prorper sanitation is practiced. Tt
may prove to lie one of the greatest
curses if unsanitary methods are used,
therefore it is as essential to know
how to handle the dairy products as
it is to produce them for the families
use.
There will also be a demonstratios
in butter-making by one of the Col
lege students. The sanitary handling,
proper preparation, seasoning, etc.
will be shown in this demonstration.
It is worth any farmers' trip to the
Congres to hear this lecturre on "The
Value of the Dairy Cow and see the
demonstration referred to above.
Watch the papers for other itnies of
the program- that will api>ea'r later.

•CROSS CROSSINGS CAUTIOUSLY*
Insurance Commissioner Wade is
leading every aid and encouragement
of the State Fire Marshals Depart
ment and is distributing quantities of
specially prepared literature and |MlS
tors in the railroads' campaign a
guinut reckless driving over crossings.
"Cross Crossings Cautiously" is the
slogan for the summer campaign put
on by the American Railway for the
protection of the public. From June
1 until September 1 the campaign will
be at its height, for it is during these
three months that so many .summer
tourists use the highways that are
crossed by the railroads
Backing the railway in its efforts
to lessen accidents are the United
States Automobile Chamber of Com
merce, the National Highway Traffic
Association, the ational Sufety Council
and numerous other organizations.
The campaign was started this year
because of the grea, number of acci
dents -that happen every year as the
result of carelessness at crossings.
In 1020 automobiles were involved
in 76 per cent ofall crossings accidents
Persons killed (death resulting in 24
hourrs) totaled 1,917, while 6,077
were injured, 116 of thola Iter dying
subsequently. Since 1918 the accidents
have averaged about the same. Fig
ures for 1921 have not been com
piled.
The railroads ure concentrating on
methods of educating the public be
cause they declare total elimination
of crossings to be impossible. There
are highway crossings in the
country, and of this number only 399
were eliminated in one year, each elim
ination costing $60,000.
The association pledges cooperation
by the railroads, in keeping crossings
in gtiod condition for giving
reasonable notice of the existence of
crossings and seeing to it that flag
men do their full duty in warning
_ ,of the approach of trains. Safety engi
neers urge habit of shifting gears
into lower speed at all crossings. The
practice causes drivers instinctively to
pause at crossings, and also reduces
toa minimum the risk of stalling on
the tracks.

VERNON GURGANUS
COMMITS SUICIDE
Mr. Vernon Gurganus killed him
self Sunday afternoon with a ahot
gun, the load entering uiu>r his
throat. He was at the home of Mr.
John Cratt who had been talking with
Gurganus for some time when he
went to the kitchen to get something
to eat. Cratt went off to feed his
stock or attend to some matters about
the farm and after he had been out
a few minutes he heard the report
of a gun, he immediately returned to
the dwelling where he found Gur
gan» dead in the kitchen.
Mr. Gurganus was about twenty
one years old, the son of John Gur
ganus of Pitt county. He haj lived
in Martin county for several years and
at the time of the tragedy he was
working with Roddick Mizelle near
Bear Grass. No reason is known for
the act except -those who knew him
best think that he was brooding over
a love affair He was considered a
quiet, reliable young man and the com
munity was shocked at the tragedy.
The burial was at the Crandle grave
yeard in Pitt county yesterday.
BOYS RETURN FROM ENCAMP
MENT
' The Williamston platoon of the
National Guards returned from Ciunp
Glenn Monday afternoon. From all
indications and reports the trip was
in every way a success. The daily
routine afid the spendid lea del ship of
the higher officers were indeed profita
ble and educational to those who were
there. Camp life affords a place for
physical development and in this in
stance it was taken advuntage of.
Practically every one took part in the
seven to eleven drill, excepting a few.
Of course some had to lie detailed to
the kitchen, riflo range and to the
guard house. Lots of strange things
and very unusual occured around the
guard house, it is reported. In the first
days of our boys stay there thjy nam
ed it the hotel, hut later it was chang
ed to a hoarding house because ii be
came a place noted for ntrange and
sad faces. Our boys are due credit for
being able to adjust themselves while
in camp for they felt perfectly at
home there, it being a rendovous for
tliem.
Hugh Burras should be mentioned
among the brave while Johnny Alfred
should be credited with proving the
Darwin Theory.
It is reported that John Philpot
frequently used his head as a target
while out on the rifle range, one of
those targets that the best of riflemen
miss.
Other than a few non competent,
lion commissioned officers the Com
pany was a fine representative body
from both Plymouth and Williams-
The Williamston platoon, excepting
a few, will look forward to the trip
next year.
JOSEPH US DANIELS IS THE
MAN
5
The Washington Progress in a re
cent issue stated that the people of
this section of the State are anxious
for a man to run for Governor two
years hence who can measure up to
the standard the State desrves. The
progress says that Josephus Daniels
t* the man. We agree with it. Daniel*
is a man who has been measured and
has never been found wanting. All the
acid that the Republican party and
the big interests could place upon
him was hurled at him while he was
Secretory of the Navy. He stood it all
without a cratch and when his term
ofoffice expired he was commended
by not only his party, but by all
partries as being one of the most
faithful, honest and efficient servants
the country has ever had. The real
worth of Josephus Danies is nt as
largely shown in his official life as
it has been in his long service to his
country and fellow men. For more
tha nthirty years he has stood by the
rights of the people in our State
and Nation. He has always been on
the right side of all movements that
affected the rights of the privilege.
He is a real statesman and the people
of North Carolina owe him their most
costly gifts. We hope he will be called
into service.

TYPHOID FEVER IS
CAUSED BY GERM
Typhoid fever is caused by a speci
fic germ, not by foul air, mosquitoes,
weeds, stagnant pools, odors, etc.
When typhoid occurs it is because
the germ of'the disease has gained
access to the body of the individual
through the mouth. This is usually
accomplished by ingestion of infect
ed food, milk, water or typhoid carry
ing flies. Health organizations ex
pend all their efforts in breaking
these avenues of infection. Pasteur
ized milk is safeguarded by subjecting
or should be subjected to a tempera
ture of fourteen degrees for thirty
minutes. When food is the cause of
typhoid fever it has been contamin.it
ed in some way by a carrier of the
germ. A carrier of typhoid is a per
son who at some time lias had the
disease but who still harbors the or
ganisms in his or her body. A natural
immunity having been established the
person known as a carrier shows no
evidence of the disease. The germ
however is constantly present in the
alimentary discharges. When such a
person comes ,in contact with food,
milk, etc. contamination occurs and
the disease follows.
Flies likewise spread the disease
by carrying the typhoid gerin to food
liquids ingested. Briefly the above
mentioned causes are the only ways
typhoid can be taken. It is just as
ridiculous to assume that typhoid is
cnused by weeds, ditches, stagnant
water, mosquitoes etc. as it would be
to assume that pneumonia is eni sort
by these agencies. Hence we see senti
ally that typhoid is a germ disease
and the only means of infection is
by receiving the germ in the mouth,
then after being swallowed, it eventu
ally finds easy growth in the intes
tines which organs are the sepi of the
dividual however is to be inoculated
disease. The safest way for the in
against typhoid. It is effective, .infe
and harmless. Go to your physician
ami lie vaccinated.

PRESS ARTICLE
Repeated instances when rashes on
children were considered to be trivial
affairs instead of scarlet fever are
coming to the attention of the State
Board of Health. It is not always easy
for a physician to diagnose scarlet
fever so it is more difficult for a
layman. Quite often the symptons are
do mild that they pass unnoticed.
After a t while the skin begins to peel
and the hands and foet to swell as
a result of kidney complications which
might have been avoided had proper
rare been taken.
For the above reason the State
Board of Health is suggesting to peo
ple that they consider more seriously
rashes occurlng in children and that
thej£.. make sure to request the physi
cian to observe the child's tongue to
see If It is like a strawberry because
this is one of the main points in dia
nosis. Proper care will prevent many
deaths from scarlet fever.

SETH FAST PACE
Some 16,0(10 l*iedmont Farmers eel*
brated the progrea of Cooperative
Marketing i na series of successful
mass meetings which swept hundreds
of new contracts into the Tobacco
Growers Cooperative Association from
Western North Carolina last week.
Col. C. E. Marvin of Mie Kentucky
Uurley Pool, who came directly from
his successful campaign with the
Wisconsin Tobacco Growers and aid
ed in the 76 per cent signup of the
Wisconsin crop, addrvMsed 2,01)0 fann
ers at Danbury on Monday, 4,000 at
Keysville on Tuesday, 1,000 growers
at Turnersville on Wednesday, 6,000
at Statesville on Thursday, another
thousand at Greensboro o« Friday and
2,000 at Reidsville last Saturday.
The old belt with 75 per cent of its
tobacco in the Tri-State pool is now
on fire with enthusiasm for cooper
ative marketing arid Col. Marvin pro
phesied success like that which the
organized Kentucky growers are en
joying.
At Reidsville where tho citizens ;
built and turned over a warehouse to
the organized growers, the banks of
the toV/n ugreed to lend their legal
limit to the Association after a con
ference With Olive J. Sands, general
manager of the Association, follow
ing his address to a record breaking
crowd of farmers.
A prominent banker of Pittsburg,
Pa. who came South for conference
with Mr. Sands ami attended the
Riedsville meeting was to impressed
with the demonstration of the West
ern Carolina growerrs in favor of Co
opeartion and the action of the Rieds
ville banks in hacking th Association
to the limit that he offered a loan
of half a million dolars to the Associ
ation in behalf of his bank.
At the annual picnic of the Pied

school busses crowded with children
and flivvers and automobiles. This
record fathering of 6,000 person*
heard Col. Marviti of Kentucky tell
why 90 per centi of Kentucky
farmers have joined the Hurley Grow

eagerly signing up today. Col. Mar
vin stirred his(large audiences at Dan
bury, Turnersville, Greensboro and
Keysville, Va.
At Keysville another record cele
bration took place last week when
Charlotte county Far men celebrated
the 07.6 per cent signup of the As
sociation in their county which now
boasts of 2,704 members out of 2716

than a thousand contracts from the
Palmetto State.
A great moblization of tobacco
