Union Prepares To Care For Its Members Here Strikers Confident of Win ning Their Point Over Companies. -General Secretary-Treasurer.” Chicago. Aug. 13.—Wesley Russell, deputy president of the Commercial Telegraphers’ Union, sent out this morning a general order, calling out all telegraphers In the United States and Canada who had not signed a contract unOcr the new terms demanded. Mr. Russell told every telegrapher In the two courtlriss to approach hi* employ er and demand that he sign the new union contract. This does not affect the Hearst News Service. _ _ Pittsburg, Washington, San Fran cisco, Newark. Buffalo and Baltimore operators are now out. All Western union operators, Including three chiefs, forty in all, walked out this morning at Toledo. New York, Aug. 18.—The first effects of the telegrapher’s strike on the vast business Interests of the country were felt today when the strike spread from the Atlantic to the fttclfic and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico and was still sweeping through Interior cities and towns which had been wait ing for New York to act. Fifteen thousand men are out In all parts of the country, five thousand of them tn New York alone, and they are backed by! a fund of 33,000,000 with which to make their fight. > Canada to Mexieo. The strike order ha* been extended to Canada and Mexico and today opera tors in those parts of the • continent were walking out. Throughout the whole country manufacturers, mer chants, financiers and business men generally were hampered by the cut ting oft of the telegraph service of the two great compahles, the Western Union and Postal, and even the mar. keti were affected, the price* of stocks showing the business disturbance. Wheat alone broke three points as a direct resuit of the strike. In New York today the strikers from the West ern Union and Postal general and branch offices were Joined by men from Mg Wall street ofilces, commission houses and other large business con cerns, excepting such sources as have contracts with their operator*. All Cities Affected. More than 100 cities and towns are already affected, these Including, with one or two exceptions, all the Impor tant cities of fhe country. Only about sixty-five cities or towns of any consequence had not been reach ed, but It was expected that the men In these ofilces would go out at any time. Other cltlee throughout the country had quickly followed the lead of New York. Virtually everything west of Pittsburg an throughout the South wee tied up. Some of the Eastern cltlee did not Join the strike but* they were alone and could not send messages because there were practically no men to receive them. Associated Press Men Out. New York city. It was asserted today, there were 3,000 Weetem Union and 1,000 Postal operator* out. Through the rest of the country ten thousand men were out. Following the strike of the commer cial operators In this city came the walk-out of the operators of the Asso ciated Press, practically paralysing the news fathering system. Of the big news gathering organiza tion the only one not affected was the Hearst News Service. It was already paying the scale and observing the union’s hours and Its news service was not Interrupted. Striker’s Terms Met. In Chicago and other big cities THOMAS J. BISHOP. President of local No. 60 of Com mercial Telegraphers' Union. Continued on Pegs Three. The only newspaper telegraph sound er that clicked In Atlanta Tuesday was that In the office of The Georgian, where the Hearst service operator was kept busily at work. The Associated Press had stopped short at 7:30-o'clock Monday night, the hour set by the striking operators, and since that time there has not been an operator In the ofilces of tbit service. That The Georgian Is able to give a full report of the news of the world to Its readers Is due to the friendly rela tions between the Hearst service and the .Telegraphers’ Union. They reached an. agreement somo time ago which was perfectly satisfactory to both sides, and there Is not the slightest friction be. tween employer and emp^iyee In that newsgathering sorvlce. ' In every office of the Associated Press, from Maine to California, the operators loosed their grip on the keys Monday night, and since that time there has not been a click of the sound er. The Western Union made an ef. fort to supply the press association with bulletins of Impotrant news, but met with no success. During the night not a line came over the prese wlree and Tuesday morning brought the pub. He no news of what had happened dur ing the twelve hours preceding. The afternoon paper* dependent Upon the Associated Press were equally as una ble Tuesday to obtain their service. The tie-up wqjt complete. Operatore’ Ultimatum. . The Aseociated Press operators, few less than 600, had notified Melville E. Stone, general manager, that unlese they received by 7:30 o’clock a eatle- foctory reply to their demande for bet ter hours and pay, they would walk out of every office. Their demands for day work were eight hours, 330 a week and 60 cents an'hour for overtime. For r.lght work they asked eight hours, $3$ a week and 70 cents an hour for over time, or the same scale adopted by the Hearst service. At 7:30 o’clock th.e operators In the offices throughout the country waited for their answer. When It came It of. fered no satisfaction. Mr. Stone wired the following message: Mr. Stone’* Answer. To Operators: I • received this morning a communication from a large number of operator* in the service of the Associated Press ashing for a changed scale of wage* and hours, and requesting a reply by 7:30 o clock this eV, The*changes Involved are so radical In their nature as to add over 3300,000 a year, and probably more, to the ex pense of this organisation. "The Associated Press Is mutual In ft» character, making no profits, and has no surplus funds out of which suen a sum could be paid. Any such In crease must, of necessity, be levied back on the newspapers as a part of their weekly assessments. As general manager I have no power to make such an increase, either In salaries or as sessments, without authority from the board of director*, and It Is obviously Impossible to call this board together within the time named. The board consists of fifteen member*, scattered throughout the entire country. “At the same time, acting under au thority heretofore granted me by the board of director*. I shall be very glad at any tlipe to meet a committee of your Own operator*, and confer with them respecting hour* of service and compensation, with a view to making some recommendation to the next meeting of the board of director*, which ahall meet any fair or Juet ex pectations of those In our operating **"Even were I free to act, I think you must agree with me that a question of this magnitude should not be pressed to a conclusion within the limits of a few hour*, and without any oppor tunity for consultation between myself Continued on Page Three. The largest meeting of the striking Commercial Telegraphers since the members of the union walked out of the Postal and Western Union offices on Sunday afternoon was held Tues day morntrig In the Emory building on Viaduct Place. The hall was crowded from 10 o’clock, when the meeting was called to order, until X o’clock, when the mem bers of the union adjourned to meet again Tuesday night at 7:30 o’clock. Of those present Tuesday morning be tween thirty and forty-five were wom en and several of them made excellent talks that brouglu forth cheers. Prominent among the speakers was Mrs. E. B. Smith, the secretary and treasurer of the Gainesville local, which has its membership distributed from Atlanta to Charlotte. , Optimism is largely In evidence among the strikers. They ere con fident that they will win. This con fidence was Increased to a degree of almost certainty when the Associated Press operators walked out Monday night, and these operators attended the meeting Tuesday Morning. Speeches were made by some of them and they declared they were out until the proper scale was signed up. Take Care of Members. Every provision has been made by the local union for taking care of the member*. In addition to a good fund on hand, the union has established bureau of Information where many places are listed as open bouses for union telegraphers. Just os the meeting adjourned Tues day one woman striker, a pretty young woman, nattily attired In white, ap proached the secretary and caused cheers when she put her name down as being able to accommodate four union telegraphers who might strike Atlanta and desired to be entertained. "There will be no panhandling union telegraphers In Atlanta,” said one mem ber of the press commute. "We have funds on hand that we have been ac cumulating for Just this purpose and we are prepared to make a finish fight of IL And when our own funds are ex hausted, we are pledged the support of other organisations.” GEORGIA R. R. HAS QUIT HANDLING ITS TRAINS BY TELEGRAPH Augusta, Gn., Aug. 13.—W. S. Brand, su perintendent of the Georgia railroad, baa United the following bulletin: **To all concerned: "On account of conatant and serious In terruption of our telegraph service, cover ing n period of severnl days past, which do not appear to be caused by atmospher ic conditions, hut by human Interference which has proved l>eyond our ability to correct, we will, effective at once, and until further advised, discontinue the handling of trains by telegraph orders. No eitrn trains, excepting roadway work trains, will be operated, and all trains will be governed by the rules and schedules." ST A TE ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE INDORSES CLUB LOCKER TAX At a called meeting of the Georgia State Anti-Saloon League Mon day night, the following resolutions Indorsing the tax on club lockers and calling upon the senate to Increase the tax to 310,000, or other large sum, was adopted: i “Whereas,. There has been some misapprehension as to the pur pose of the friends of the Hardman-Covlngton-Ncel prohibition bill, as affected by the provisions of the general tax Bill taxing the club lockers of the. state: .and “Whereas, It Is absolutely Imperative that some tax In stringent terms should bo placed upon this form of keeping liquor, It not being pro hibited by the general prohibition bill; therefore, be It "Resolved by the Anti-Saloon Lcoguo of Georgia, That wo urgently beg our friends (In tho senate) of the magnificent law already passed to see that tha house amendment to the tax act, seeking to control tho keeping of Intoxicating liquors In club houses by taxation, be amended In the senate by striking out the words three hundred dollars, and In serting In (leu thereof, ten thousand dollars, or other lurge Bum.” BASEBALL Western Union Standing Firm "We have thirty men at work today and I never felt more confident that we are going to win this fight." This was the statement of J. Levin, general superintendent of the Southern division of tho Western Union. When asked whether or not he thought the strike would be a long pne, he,replied that the company would fight to the finish. The following telegram was received by Mr. Levin from R. C. dowry, preel- dent and general manager of the West, ern Union: ‘About 30 per cent of our force In New York went out and we have ample force today to move the business with out delay. Less than 23 per cent went out at Philadelphia, Baltimore, Wash ington, Pittsburg and Buffalo. We are In good ehape to those point*. New York Herald.

The bill provided that the money re ceived from fertilizer Inspection be used In equipping and maintaining the agricultural school! In the various con gressional districts. Mr. Hall, of Bibb, raised the point that the blit might be considered as Involving an appropriation, and moved that the house be resolved Into a com mittee of the whole for the purpose of considering the bill. The motion prevailed, and Mr. Don ation. of Decatur, waa called to the chair. Mr. Martin, the author of the bill, •poke first and explained 111 provls- lona. In Other 8tatea, He declared that In no date In the union except Georgia Is the fee for fertiliser Inspection less than 26 centa In Alabama It la 30 cents per ton and In Florida It Is 36 cents. In spite of this difference In the fee, said Mr. Martin, the price for fertilizers In the various states Is uniform. Mr. Martin stated that the Increase In the lax would not Impoae a burden on any one, and that the money derived from It, If expended on the agricul tural schools of the state as proposed, would go far toward advancing agri cultural education In this state. He stated that according to his fig ures each district agricultural school In the state will receive about 310,000 and the state agricultural school will receive something like 360,000. Mr. Martin referred briefly to the action of the Farmers' Union In regard to the bill. He stated that at first the uplon opposed the bill, but that later It had been decided not to take any stand In the matter. Mr. Perry, of Hall, followed Sir. Mar- s OF Driven Back by Dead ly Fire of French Rifles. Tangier, Aug. 13.—News has been received here of a terrific battle be tween the Moora and French at Casa Blanca, In which 6,000 Moors, after a bold charge, were repulsed with heavy loss of life. The attack was carefully planned, but waa made possible only through the fanaticism of the Moora. The Moors charged fiercely, but the French hold ing the more advantageous position, quickly drove them back. The Moora quickly ,re-formed their lines and charged back over the dead bodies of their comrades. 8hells Dsclmats Moore. The cruiser Glolre at this point be- gun to co-operate with tho French troops, sending a terribly effective rain of shells Into the Moorish forces. The attacking forces wero cut down by the guns of the French soldiers and blown to pieces by the sholls of the ship. Still the leaders urged the charge and with dogged Indifference to death tho men continued until they wero simply driven back by the very forco of the firing. Withering Fire of Freneh. Even after being decimated bv the withering fire of tho French, tho Moors re-formed their straggling lines and with a persistence bordering upon In sanity, again essayed a charge. Again the steady rifle flro from the soldiers and the death-dealing shells from the cruiser drove them back. Still th* Moors seemed willing to follow their leaders Into the very mouths of 'the French guns. No estimate of the losses of tho at tacked could be obtained, but th* French losses were small. SENATE. SPRINTS TO FINISH WORK Continued on Page 8even. The senate Is coming down to the heel of the session In fine shape, busi ness being dispatched with a minimum of delay, Tuesday morning waa devoted largely to general measures of aenate origin. The Wilkes bill to prohibit foreign in surance companies from removing suit] from state to Federal courts, under penalty of revocation of license, passed. The Hardman measure, providing for th* registration of trained nurses and an examining board, alto passed. Sev. oral other measures, however, were either killed or tabled. Senator Steed's resolution, calling for two dally sessions of the senate, was adopted. Beginning Tuesday the ses sions will be from 10 o'clock In the morning to 1 o'clock In the afternoon, and from 8 o'clock In the afternoon until business on hand Is disposed of. The senate by a vote or 24 to 9 tabled the bill of Senator Wilkes to compel railroads to fence off their tracks to prevent the killing of stock. Senator Hardman's bill, providing for a commission to examine Into the causes of crime and pauperism and the relation of the two race*, met with forceful objection from Senator Felder. “I am opiiosed to stirring up the race question In Georgia,” he said. "Tho whole trouble Is too much agitation of that question. While thlB bill carries no appropriation, don’t you know lhat they wilt be back here next year want ing money to run thlngiT "Just look at the personnel of the proposed commission! Two doctors, two lawyer*, two ministers nnd two farmers! You could never get that crowd to agree on anything. It Is un wise and unneressary legislation." On motion of Senator Peacock the bill was tabled. The bill of Senator Hardman provid ing for the registration of trained nurses as to qualifications, met with only slight opposition. It passed, with slight amendments, by a unanimous vote. Growth and Progress of the New Sooth The Georgian here records each day tome economic fact In reference to the onward progreas of the South.
