What is that but savagery? What is that but barbarism? What is that but the very thing which all civilization seeks to work away from? They have neither the courage nor the boldness to try to put their opin ion into the formal written law be cause at heart they have neither courage nor boldness worthy of the names Just as long as the

body takes these pleas Something deeper swings and that something is the philosophy of the state A curious thing to regard with In essence the unwritten law savagery to It is more fail to demand that the good work go than a mere disregard for the law it on and on tn even greater aceom is actually a deliberate assault on plishment the law Those who summon it to 'he unwritten port a written law place there is a fng with fire and trse rears hence The strike which has been ordered by the General Committee of the Order of Railroad Telegraphers among its members employed by the Atlantic Coast Line is the culmination of the refusal of that organization to accept a decision by the United States Railroad Labor Board denying the demands of the organization for a general increase in wages and for annual vacation of two weeks with pay Throughout the negotiations which led up to the present situation the Atlantic Coast Line has scrupulously complied both with the letter and the spirit of the law and with the orders of the Labor Board which is the agency created and authoriz ed by Congress for the settlement of disputes between the railroads and organizations of their employees The Order of Railroad Telegraphers agreed readily enough to submit the case to the Railroad Labor Board for settle ment but refused to accept the decision made by the Board after exhaustive investigation and has ordered a strike because the decision which they had asked the Board to make did not satisfy them Lesson ONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO 25 WLES WITHOUT A WHIMPER OUR TREAD HU GUARANTEES Results Our interest in the Cole ver 1 cl is It an end so far as the individual I se is concerned But no paper does its duty if it does less than to upho this and such other cases as may apply to the situation as in stances of grave wrong and injustice and to make plea for the sacredness of law itself and for common justice As to Cole his freedom will be a greater burden to him than would ate been meeting' the ends of jus tice under a light sentence But his eedom stands as a guide to other juries in making up their verdicts against men who have killed and whose loyalty to the women for whom they killed passes in a fight for ac quittal and freedom when only their! cv i lives are at stake Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company ALBRIGHT Vice President and General Manager was living testimony to the fact that in its present mood North Carolina will not recognize the killing of a i man being if somewhere back of the killing stands the figure of a woman and if some lawyer will point to the woman and shout loud enough the words So heavy a hand has the unwritten law laid on the life of the state that beside its false and savage philosophy the tak ing of human life becomes an inci eepted the new plan of schools in any of its requirements and who are seeking opportunities at every turn to thwart its purpose But this will soon have its dav and under a new personnel there will yet be problems of even preatir import tn be met and in the meeting will come the measure of the men who are to meet them As The Press sees it the work of the board of education and its co workers stands out boldly in the line of progress and educational accom plishment and we are mistaken if the people of Stanly county as a whole passing through a which it is ope at any other time within years it is merely the

organization for a general increase of wages and for a vacation rule were not justified It instructed both parties to look into the question of eliminating inequalities in the pay of some position or this purpose conferences were held by the Atlantic Coast Line with representatives of the Telegraphers in an effort to reach an amicable settlement of this issue remanded by the Labor Board and the Atlantic Coast Line after negotiations lasting for a period of five weeks made an offer to adjust the rates of pay of a substantial number of positions involved This offer was refused by representatives of the Telegraphers who on September 16th broke off negotiations with the state ment that they would not further discuss the question of removing inequalities but would demand again a general increase anti vacation for all men both of which demands had been found by the Labor Board to be unwarranted When the Atlantic Coast Line suggested that the matter should be referred again to the Labor Board in accordance with directions by the Board that thisbe done if no settlement was reached the representatives of the organization refused to join in such action The Atlantic Coast Line therefore informed the Labor Board of its failure to reach a settlement and the Labor Board immediately assumed jurisdiction over the controversy and ordered both parties before it at Chicago for a hearing on October 9th Officers of the Atlantic Coast Line appeared as ordered but the Telegraphers' organization declined to comply with the instructions and did not put in an appearance In view of this the Labor Board decided to send three members to the property to investigate the whole situation one member representing the public who is Vice Chairman of the United States Railroad Labor Board one representing the organizations and one representing the railroads This section of the Board con ducted hearings at Wilmington on October 12th and 13th Prior to this time a strike ballot had been distributed among the members of the organization At the Wilmington hear ing representatives of the organization informed the Labor Board members that while the Telegraphers would co operate with the Board in making the proposed investigation such co operation would not be allowed to interfere with the program which the organization had mapped out for handling the matter on their own account The representatives of the Labor Board visited a number of places on the property getting the facts in regard to the situation so that a report could be made to the full membership of the Labor Board following which tie Board has announced that a prompt and final decision would be made and the Company will be governed by that decision The strike has been called without waiting for action by the United States Railroad Labor Eard It is in direct defiance of the law The Atlantic Coast Line will make every effort to provide for uninterrupted service to the public The i eited lantie appealing
