TAFT DECIDES FOR ATLANTA.
The mayor and council of the city
of Atlanta have now come face to
face with an urgent recommendation
by the National War Labor Board that
street car fares in Atlanta should be
increased for the purpose of enabling
the Georgia Railway & Power Com
pany to pay increased expenses.
In a decision announced last week,
the War Labor Board raised the wages
of street car conductors and motor
men. as well as other employees. In i
the opinion the board specifically
stated the opinion that the power com
pany’s revenue ought to be increased
to meet the new scale. It is estimat
ed by the power company’s account
ants that the increase to conductors
and motormen will amount to $316,000
a year, and the other inereasev may
equal this amount. The company's of
ficials assert that it will be impossi
ble to pay the new scale unless the
company is allowed to charge highv
fares.
T.ie recommendation now comes di
rect to the mayor and general council,
in a communication addressed to them
by William H. Taft ami Randall IL.
Manly, comprising the special section
that passed on the Atlanta wage
award, urging an increase of fares to
enable the company to. meet the new
scale.
“We haie felt,” states the former
president of the United States, “that
men are entitled to the higher wages
awarded to enable them to meet their
increased living expenses. We are
equally convinced of the necessity and
justice of increased income to this
company through increased street rail
way fares to meet the cost of th
service.”
This recommendation by the War
Board corroborates a recommendation
by the Railroad Commission. Some
months ago the power company went
before that body’ with a petition for
increased light and power and gas
rates and increased car fares. The
commission allowed the former, but
on account of a question concerning
jurisdiction it did not raise the car
fares. It did, however, strongly rec
ommend to the mayor and council of
Atlanta, who asserted an exclusive
jurisdiction over Atlanta car fares, the
necessity and advisability of allowing
an increase. This recommendation by
the Railroad Commission was ignored
by the council.
Now comes the recommendation
from a still higher source. That the
council is disposed to give weight to
it is indicated by the fact that a spec
ial meeting of council has been called
for Friday afternoon to consider the
communication from the War Labor
Board. Augusta, Macon and many
other Southern cities already have
granted increased car fares.
THE NATION’S OPPORTUNITY.
That the United States is in a per
fectly sound economic condition and
is facing the greatest opportunity that
ever came to any nation in the world’s
history to build up her foreign trade,
were among the striking statements
made by J. H. Tregoe, secretary of
the National Association of Credit
Men, addressing a meeting of the
credit men of Atlanta at a dinner given
in his honor.
“The country,” said Mr. Tregoe, ‘‘ s
facing one of the great opportunities
of history to lead the world in main
taining sound commercial principles
We have the greatest opportunity that
ever came to any nation to establishe
a reputation for honest and skillful
production that will make our goods
accepted and relied upon by foreign
markets. Our merchant marine is of
the utmost importance in carrying out
our program of overseas trade.”
