THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN aivD SEWS. r'ltlDAY, MAT IT, lOTr. A CHANCE “TO TON THE TRICK” It is not necessary that a person have a great deal of nerve, or a great deal of money, to make a little money; the main requisite being a little judgment and just enough atten tion to comprehend the situation. When you go into a locality and see hun dreds of new houses just completed, and others being built, it should not require a dynamite or a drilling machine to open a train of thought and reasoning in your mind. If you suddenly sat on a hot stove you would jump, or if some one suddenly fired a a gun behind you it would startle you, or if some angel suddenly appeared and emptied a cornucopia into your lap, the contents being pure gold pieces, you would be surprised, but you would take it all the same. Remember \vhat the famous author wrote: “There is a time in the affairs of men when ta ken at floodtide leads on to fortune and to fame.” Who knows but that this may be a turn ing point in your life; it is at least worth more than a passing thought. It would only cost you a nickel and an' hour’s time to take a ride on either the Walker to Westview car, or West End, Gordon street . I car; telling the conductor to put you off at Law- ton street, look carefully over both routes, go ing one way and returning the other; look at Peeples Street City School; look at the Howell City Park; look at the improvements on Hold- emess street and all of the attractive, elegant homes being built in this section. You will gather sufficient information on which to base a determined desire to get one of the lots fronting on either' Lucile avenue, Dar- gan street, Lucile place, or Oak street, which will be offered at our Auction Sale next Tues day afternoon at 3 o’clock sharp. Get a plat and think it over! Call- at our office next Tuesday at 2:30 and go with us as our guest. Remember this property is inside the present city limits, and you can get gas, sew er and water for any of these lots. S. B. Turman & Co. Pell phones 674 and 1992. Atlanta phone 674. MEN WERE "RAILROADED,” SAYS SAMUEL GOMPERS W- DON’T PRESIDENT 8AM UEL GOMPERS, Head of the American Federation of Labor, who will deliver an ad dress at the Grand opera house Friday night, and be the guest of honor at a “dollar dinner” Saturday night. bibor Leader Talks of Idaho Cases and Compares Arrests to Russian Tyranny. x • , President Samuel Oomjiera, of the American Federation of Labor and one of the most capable labor leaders In the world, arrived In Atlanta Thursday night and will be here until Sunday. -V r. Gompers comes to Atlanta upon the Invitation of the Atlanta Federation of Trades and will deliver an address at the Grand'Friday night at 8 o'clock, to which the puhllc Is cordially Invited. On Saturday night Sir. Gompers will le the guest at a banquet to be given him at the New Kimball House. Not In ten years has the head of 'he Federation of Labor been In Atlanta, and when the Atlanta Federation of Trades heard some time ago that Mr. Gompers contemplated making a South ern trip, another Invitation was extend- ed him. When seen at the Majestic Hotel on Friday morning. Mr. Gompers talked Interestingly to a Georgian reporter on topics of Interest to the labor world to day. A Client talker and eloquent speaker, Mr. Gompars holds audience, wherever he goes, and the Indlcatl me are that a large crowd will greet him at the Grand Friday night. Mr. Gompers discussed th __ _ men’s big strike In New York cl»jr and admitted that he had been asked to endeavor to bring about a settlement. Longshoremen’s Strike. 'So far.” he said, "I have not been able to do anything, but I am not through yet. in fact, we are never through trying to help the cause of organised labor. Strangely enough, the striking longshoremen In New York are about the only organised longehoremen In the country who- are not affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, but that doee hot prevent me from do ing all I can to help them.” Besides being president of the Feder ation of Labor, Mr. Gompers Is flrxt vice president of the National Civic League, composed of the leaders In the labor world and of employers of labor. Moyer-Haywood Case. "Yes." he replied In answer to a ques tion about the Moyer-Haywood-Pettl- bone case. "I have kept up with this case and I think all the Indications point to the Innocence of the accused men. The Western Federation of Min ers Is not affiliated with the organiza tion over which 1 havo the honor to preside, and I hardly think the accused officials have much use for either me or our organlsatlbn. But this feeling Is not reciprocated. I want to see these officials get a square deal and I don't think their arrest and transportation from another state to Idaho was a square deal. Strong Influences havo been working against them nnd to prejudice the people. Even thoug are not one of us, I want to set helped, and want to see them get a square deal.’’ Mr. Gompers denounced the manner In which the prisoners were "kid naped" from one state and taken to Idaho, and asked what would be done If an American cltlsen was charged by Russia with being Implicated In and preseht "In spirit’' If , a czar was mur dered and the president was asked to turn him over to the Russian authorl-' ties. He said the accused miners had' been given a similar deal and had. not been allowed fo have a hearing. In regard to the charges against Mayor Schmlts, of Han Francisco, Mr. Gompers said he could not believe the mayor guilty, and that If he was. It was through the power of Abe Ruef. He declared Mayor Bchmlts was a lov able man with a most charming wife. Mr. Gompers Is well satlsfled with the present outlook, but says he Is still working for better things.
