Exorbitant freight-passenger rates have been assessed the public for the . past two years without any apparent hope on the part of the public of a reduction of rates and fares, although ( within the past year the railroad com- , panies have reduced wages and curtailed expenses by cutting off trains ( and laying off workmen in every , branch of their service. They have ( overlooked the great fundamental of ] "playing fair" by reducing rates when they reduced wages and personnel. , Instead they have gone ahead heedless ^ ( 01 tne puDlic weuare, ana even an-1 nounce their intention of further reduction in wages which has called forth these sane suggestions by the public group of the railroad labor boards as "one feasible plan by which the present controversy can be settled and a strike averted." Under the plan suggested by the public group, the railroad would withdraw their request for further wage reductions, until freight reductions have been completed, and "pending action of the board on such petition for further reduction as the carriers may subsequently submit," the unions would withdraw the strike order. enflrorocfinn WQC Kh5aH nn OT1P. I put forward by W. W. Atterbury, vice-president of the Pennsylvania Railroad, before a convention in Chicago last Friday. Immediate reduction in freight rates, it was asserted, would operate to the benefit of the railroad employees and "would constitute one of the statutory grounds fqr further reduction in wages," while, through reduction of the cost of material, it would to that extent relieve the railroads of the necessity of "relying solely upon wage cuts for a reduction of their operating expenses." The statement, given out by a member of the group, said in part: "There is at least one feasible plan by which it can be settled and a strike averted." "If the railroads will immediately, in good faith, adopt this suggestion, the situation can be cleared up, freight iaicd icuuiuu w uic wot of living reduced to the consumers, and a stimulating cffectexcrted upon all business. "We would suggest that the wage cut of July 1 be translated at once into a reduction of freight rates. This would be more tangible and satisfactory to the public than to promise that future wage reductions will be 1 passed on to the people in the form ' of reduced freight rates. The public ; undoubtedly expected this result when the July reduction was made, and its consummation now, though somewhat delayed, would be highly gratifying. That direct benefits would promptly follow and that the psychological effect would be instantly beneficial can- < not be doubted." Putting these suggestions into defi- 1 nite propositions, the group members 1 proposed the following: 1 "1. Let the carriers immediately 1 give a general rate reduction meas- 1 ured by the July wage reduction and the benefits derived from the new i rules, and devised under the super- < vision of the Interstate Commerce t Commission, to afford the greatest de- ^ gree of relief to the public. c "2. Let the request for further < wage reductions be withdrawn until j the rate reductions have been com- t pleted. "3. At such time as the carriers i deem advisable, let them present to ] the Railroad Labor Board their peti- ] tion for further reduction in wages, ] based upon conditions then existing. "4. Pending the working out of the rate reduction and the action of the labor board on such petition for a ^ further wage reduction as the carriers strike order be withdrawn. , "This method of procedure has the . merit of affording 'cooling time' to everybody concerned, and repuires of the carriers only one thing, namely, ' that they give to the public in re- . duced freight rates the benefit of the July wage cut, just as they are proposing to do in case of a further wage wvlnrtinn Tt also favnrs the with drawal or suspension of the strike order upon the part of the employees." i - - o Trains will be operated in South Carolina, strike or no strike, provided volunteers can be procured to run them, according to Governor Cooper, who says that if it were considered necessary to call a special session of the Legislature he would not hesitate to do so in order to draw up measures to meet the emergency. The Governor was speaking as an official who visualized the suffering and misery that would follow on the heels of a tie-up of railway traffic. TO LEAVE FOR ILLINOIS BE. L. C. Madison to Give Up Demonstration Work in Williamsburg. Mis,' G No one in Williamsburg county will learn with deeper regret than does The County Record, that Mr. L. G C. Madison, who has been the county's j ing very active and efficient Farm Demon- j niar stration agent for the past seven and months is to leave here about the cun last of November. The following item 12tlfrom The National Poland China pres magazine says: forr "At a recent meeting of the Execu- chui Hi'o <->f tVip novvlv nrtrnn- QUai ized Illinois Poland China Breeders' and Association, Mr. L.

G. A "A directors' meeting of the state and association held September 12th, de- cere cided to locate the secretary's office T at Peoria. This will therefore be low; Mr. Madison's headquarters.

Cha to h Editor County Record: M The foregoing heading is taken H. from one of the most reliable agricul- at tl tural papers of the United States, rooi and from that paper and government- in al reports, I find the following condi- rrar :ions to exist: That there is a 30,- to I )00,000 bushel shortage in the wheat take :rop of 1921 against 1920 and that at I there is a shortage of 74,000,000 bu- Dr. shels of wheat for the five-year period ers from 1915 to 1919, and a greater prof shortage for the iamc years in both man pats and Irish potatoes. ness I, therefore, as a citizen of Wil- M liamsburg county, who has and has Hen always had the interest of the county wed at heart, wish to call the attention and )f the farmers of this county to this at t condition with the hope of impressing dauj jpon them the necessity of each and Mar jvery farmer planting a sufficient M amount of wheat to take care of their Mr. fiome needs, for in my judgement, D. C kvith the loss of the cotton crop and at t the almost certainty of high wheat son> products it is an absolute necessity. Mas W. C.
