Citizens, Take Notice !
Oe Truth, and Facts About the Present
Railroad Strike
lgSTThe strike, a unanimous one for all practical pur
as called primarily because of discrimintations and be
ecaracy in industries has been attacked.
pOND One of our reasons, overtime for Sunday and
or, was taken from us nearly a year ago--a condition
labor for more than a generation-then abolished at the
outocratic capital over the advice and protest of ministers
age presidents, and over the most earnest protest of labor,
S ditions possible under which labor can be worked cn
at pro rata rate, allowing labor no protection for
Sor recreation.
iZRD.-.Another reason: Many of the railroads have ar
se aside decisions of the United States Railroad Labor
which were not ALL favorable to the companies, and defied

We ask for justice to both sides.
We have always obeyed the mandates of the Labor Board
at last their decisions of wage reductions and some
- working conditions have become unreasonable, and
To submit to them would be submitting to slow
and peonage in the shops. Now that we have resented

of other good reasons wh.y we are on strike, too numerous
soa here and unknown to the public.
S citizens of New Orleans, this is your home; it is our

but we could not do this if we were to submit to the out

UMBACH SAYS MURPHY PLAN
OF BLOCK PAVING IS NOT
ADVISABLE AT THIS TIME.I
Commissioner Murphy's program for
funds to complete the city's paving
project received a setback when
Henry M. Umbach, president of the[
parish board of assessors, declared it
would be "foolish" to inaugurate the
lot and block plan of assessment at
this time. It was through this plan
that Commissioner Murphy hoped to
obtain funds to complete the 192.3
paving.
Commissioner Murphy previously
had stated that unless some new plans
were adopted the city would be able
to complete only one-third of the
projects being considered.
Mr. Umbach added that he believes
the lot and block plan unfair to tax
payers because it taxes equally prop
erty of greater and less value. Com
missioner Murphy and Mr. Umbach
will confer next week with the hope
of finding some way of financing the
paving work.
FOUR CANDIDATES QUALIFY.
Four candidates have qualified for
member of the First Congressional
District, to represent the Fifteenth
Ward. H. N. Umbach and John
F Moynagh. of the Regulars, and
enry Acker and John E. Collins, of
the New Regulars, filed their papers
at Baton Rouge.
