Ail.ANIA, CA., April 1;">.-Hov. Dr.
Len G. Broughton, pastor of tho baptist
tabernacle church of Atlanta, who has
just returned from tho Kast, referred to
tho telegraphers strike on the Southern
railway in the course of hin sermon to
night. His remarks wore approved by
I, 000 people present.
"What wo need to-day is thc recogni
tion that might is not essentially right,
rho Southern rail way in its attitude to
tho telegraphers consoles itself howe vor
that this is true. This strike is a right
eous thing. 1 have carefully studied tho
whole liold. Tho boys simply want to bo
recognized. They ask for arbitration
and they have a right to have it. Corpo
rations aro being organized to-day for
their protection. They have a right to
ilo so if they like, but they liavo no right
to refuse labor tho samo right. 1 tell
you labor must organizo amt labor must
look out for its rights.
"This strike is simply a red light of
clangor ahead. Tho labor of this country
is not going to submit to the greed and
grittditlg policy of great nordics? money
corporations. 1 know tho railroad is
doing sonio big talk, but I toll you this
thing is serious. I have just como over
thc road from Haiti more and I toll you
?very siding almost is full of freight cars
that cnn't budge a peg. Tho thing is
fearful to tho public. IV scngcrs are
oxposed to danger. lt ought to bo
against the law. Tho public has some
right to this matter, and I lift my voice
for tho boys and tho public good. '
