THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEW'S. TUESDAY, DEUEMHER 1«. 9 Cash Assets .... $91,000,000 Organized 1847 Insurance in Force Over $425,000,000 Surplus 13,000,000 Charter Perpetual Ins. in Force in Georgia . 28,000,000 The Pena Mutual Life Insurance Company OF PHILADELPHIA . The Penn Mutual does not offer Special Board Contracts, by which one member is promised advantages not given to all. Being a purely Mutual Company, it could not do so and be honest For five years the Penn Mutual has led all Companies in Georgia in paid-for business, and now leads all Companies in volume of business in force in the State. This excellent result is because of the Company’s untarnished record for sixty years, the excellence of its policy forms, its liberaP dividends, and especially because of its conservative management, which believes in exact and equal justice to all, with special favors to none.

DANIEL, President 45-47-49 Peachtree Street T 8- 13 REFUSED THEM Unless hie employer le giving him an eight-hour day. there le not a union flat-bed pressman working In Atlanta Tuesday. In every shop In the city where the employers refused to elgn up for eight houre a day the pressmen declined to work and, as a result, there are many Idle presses In Atlanta. The employers contsnd that the pressmen are breaking the contract with the union. This action came about as the result of a report made at a meeting of the union Monday night by a committee which canvassed the city and asked employers to grant an eight-hour work Ing day. This committee consisted of Presl- dont Dennis Lindsey, of the Atlanta union; Secretary B. L. Barham and J. R. Penny. Every employer In the city employing union pressmen was visited and requested to sign for eight hours, Rome agreed to the proposition, and they are the only employers in Allan ta who have union pressmen at work. Outside of two or three small print Ing shops In the city, every establish, ment used union presamsn. Soms who had non-union men In fitter depart ments employed union men to run the presses. Others are known aa label shops—shops entitled to use the union label of the allied printing trades. These shops employ union men throughout. If any of these shops utlng the union label and whose pressmen have quit work attempt to run their presses with non-union men, they lose their label and will thus be deprived of the bene fits of being thoroughly union shopa So thoroughly are the pressmen of Atlanta' unionised that It Is declared It will be necessary for employers to Im port non-union pressmen to take the places of those who have quit work. While President Lindsey did not care to make known the names of those shops which have signed up for eight hours, It Is said that they number about a dosen. Some of these are small shops and the total number of unlort pressmen not working In Atlanta Tuesday Is In the neighborhood of too. The total number of union pressmen In Atlanta la something between 115 and ISO. The light for an eight-day In At lanta Is ths same that Is being made ell over the country. The report from the national headquarters a few duys ago showed that the number of union flat-bed pressmen in the United States enjoying the eight-hour day la 7.10S: the number of pressmen assistants en joying this day Is 8,252, and the number of web pressmen enjoying the eight- hour day Is 2.194. The total number of flat-bed pressmen and assistants now working eight hours dally Is 15,581. The number of flat-bed pressmen who have not received the shorter day la 1.895 and the number of assistants Is 1,748. I Pressmen who work In book and Job | printing plants are distinguished from ■ those working In newspaper olllccs by I bring given the name of lint-bed presa- c In newspaper are not affected by the present fight, for the reason that every union web preesman In the country Is getting an eight-hour day. The union men In Atlanta are welt sutlsfled with the situation and believe they will win their fight. Employers' Statement.

In spile of these facta tho business commltteo of the union gave notice late Monday that the union had decided to break the con tract, and at the sante time served a demand for a changed contract, to take effect Tuesday morning, under penalty of a strike. To make the con cessions demanded would mean a rev olution In the businesses Involved, which would take many months to complete, even wera It possible. •“The following firms, employing about 170 people on their presses, have, In view of the above facts, declined to grant the demands; Atlanta Envelope Company.
