The amendment of Mr. Alexander differed from that of Mr. Candler, of DeKalb* which was defeated Thurs day afternoon. In that It applies the occupation tax to railway companies only Instead of all public corporations/ Since the gross receipts of the rail way companies In Georgia last year amounted approximately to $37,000,000, the levying of the occupation tax means the addition of about $370,000 to the treasury of the state.

Without a dissenting voice the house adopted an amendment to the general tax act, Introduced by Mr. Wright, of Floyd, Friday morning, placing a tax of $300 upon all clubs keeping Intoxi cants In lockers or upon their premises for the use of members. In explanation, Mr. Wright stated that It was the ususl tax placed on ■uch organisations and had been left out of the tax act under the Impres sion that the prohibition bill recently passed prevented them from keeping whisky upon their premises. When the house was called to order by Speaker Slaton at 9 o’clock Friday morning there were a number of va cant seats, and when a request was made to suspend with the reading of the journal there was objection In order to allow more time for the mem bers to assemble. At 0:30 o’clock the consideration of the general tax act was resumed, and section 10, Involving an occupation tax on public corporations, was again tak en up. The first question was upon the amendment offered by Mr. Perry, of Hall, which placed an occupation tax of 2 per cent upon all public corpora tions. It was unanimously defeated.

Chicago, Aug. 9.—Fifteen hundred and ten Western Union Telegraph operators walked out In this city this morning, practically tying up the serv. Ice of that company. Into and out of this city, as the company has but few men remaining at work. At 3 o’clock this afternoon the Postal Telegraph Company operators will be called out If the demands of the teleg raphers to be frq-med and presented to the company are not met. The execu tive committee of the local union meets at 1 p. m. to draw up these demands. The strike Is no longer a matter of mere sympathy with the strikers at Los Angeles. A big mass meeting of the Chicago employees was held at f o'clock this morning at which resolu tions were adopted widening the scope of the strike. Here are some additional grievances which will be presented to the com pany: - ”Wo work more than eight hours day; the company does not fairly recognize our union; we did not get a square deal In the last settlement; we want more wages—at least 15 per cent Increase.” The strike already is causing great annoyance to all commercial houses, excepting those firms which have special leased wires—these being 'ex empted because all their employees are members of the union. There Is something more than probability that the Postal operators may strike soon, as threats Jiave been made by-men that they will not handle non-union messages and they fear that much of the Western Union's business may be turned over to their company for transmission. Fifty policemen from the central sta tion were detailed about the Western Union building and the board of trade early to provent clashes between the pickets and such operators as might endeavor to -go to work for the com pany. The board of trade opened today for the first time In Its history under the protection of tho police. The effect ot the strike on the country is being plainly shown today. The Western live stbek markets for years have done little business each day until they re ceived quotations from Chicago. To day no quotations were sent out of Chicago over the Western Union lines, this company having controlled tbs quotation service for years. In the board of trade, to long as the Postal service Is maintained unham pered, the brokers can get along with a certain amount of delay, but should th'oso men stop work the service would be cut down strictly to those large houses which maintain teased wires— these being kept In service by the few chiefs remaining at work. Three o’clock is the hour for the Pos. tal telegraphers to walk out If thslr demands drawn up. are not granted. The executive committee of the union met 'at 1 o'clock and framed the de mands. SENATE IN FAVOR OF HURRYING UP TEtEGRAPH SERVICE Senator-Folder Answers Ed itorial From Floor of Senate. PRESIDENT CLOWRY HAS ISSUED STATEMENT New York. Aug. 9.—The following statement has been lesued by President dowry..of the Western Union Tele graph Company, In regard to the strike of telegraphers: "On July 23 an operator at Los An geles was charged with maliciously de- aylng traffic. As a careful Inveetl- g tlon showed that he was guilty of deliberately obstructing traffic on Im portant circuits, he was discharged. Last night the operators In the Chicago office, employed on the Weatern Union circuits, refused to work with the non union men at Los Angeles and when this was Insisted upon they quit work In a body." General Superintendent Brooks Is In clined to think that a general strike Is trending. The Operators’ Side. Local members of the Commercial Telegraphers Union today declared that President Clowry, of the Western Union, had not kept his agreement with the operators and that the dis charge of telegraphers tn Los Angeles for refusing to handle "unfair" mes sages was unjust. Helena, Mont., Operatora Quit, Helena, Mont., Aug. 0.—The Western Union operatora have gone out here In sympathy with the operators at Chi cago and Los Angelea.

Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 0.—With a clear sky and cool weather after a heavy rain last night prospects are bright for one of the largest crowds of the season at the Athletic park this afternoon to wltnesa the double affair with the Crackers. Ford and McKen zie will be sent on the slab for the vis itors, and Sorrell and Yerkes will be fitted against them to hold down the Jobbers' end In the twirling depart ment. Sid Smith’s hand Is getting , well rapidly and he will probably be behind the bat In the opening round this aft ernoon. Wells will eatch for the lo cals In both games and Hardy wilt go right field. Billy Smith says that all the men on hla team are feeling fine, after a good ' Senator Felder arose In the senate Friday to a point of personal privilege relative to an editorial appearing In an afternoon paper relative to the senate action In amending tho Wright nntl- lobbylng bill. He'said: "I want to say I am In thorough sympathy with the administration and the demands of the platform. While I expect to support the so-called admin istration measures, I also expect to qasert my own Intelligence and follow my own views and Interpretations of measures. “I do not know that the governor ever saw this antl-lobbylng bill. It has come to be a habit here for some people ts Introduce bills and label them admin istration bills. ‘I assert that we have passed here the bill demanded by the people. No newspaper or Individual has the right to assert that this senate has passed a bill Inimical to the administration. "I make this statement In order to show that -I am In sympathy with the administration In all measures demand ed by the people." . Senator Camp said he was one of. the twenty-eight referred to In tho editorial who voted to amend tho measure. "I would do nothing to detract from or deter the administration In any of Its reforms, and I am In sympathy with all that Is advocated. But I clfilm the right to do my own thinking and to put my own interpretation on reform measures. “I have been a friend of the gov ernor for many years. I believe him to be a good and a strong man. I voted for the amendments to the antl-lob- bying bill because it met. every demand of the Macon platform." "I want to know If the senator from the Thirty-first arose to a point of per sonal privilege because his Aame was or was not mentioned In the paper?" asked Senator Wilkes. "I am one of the twenty-eight," shouted Senator Camp. "I do nqt seek that form of advertising If the senator from the Seventh does." This ended the discussion. Two Sessions Next Week.
