Jjcrafts today authorized B. M. Jewell,
strike leader, to sign a separate
peace agreement with individual
roads.
This action, it was stated, would
end the strike on from 30 to 52
of the 202 Class One railways of tlie
country which entered into direct
negotiators with Mr. Jewell recent
ly at Baltimore and on any others
who cared to accept the peace terms.
With the announcement that par
tial peace had been voted, came the
first definite statement from S.

Scy board Air Line, and representa

sponsible for negotiations that final

The agreement was reached before
the committee of ninety adjourned
about 2 o'clock this afternoon.
Preparations for ordering the men
back to work on the roads/'*’which
are parties to the agreement were
begun tonight in a meeting of the

crafts. This meeting—as those of
the past—was closely guarded.
Negotiations Begun August 25th.
The first move in the negotiations
which culminated in the agreement
started in New York August 25th,
when all hope of ending the strike
even through the aid of the “big
four” brotherhoods —had ended. Mr.
Warfield telephoned Mr. Jewell and
arranged further conferences. One
week later Mr. Jewell departed se
cretly for Baltimore and there the
basis for today's settlement was
laid.
In addition to Mr. Warfield, Mr.
Jewell and his executive council, the
meeting was attended by Daniel Wil
lard, president of the Baltimore &
Ohio and A. H. Smith, president of
the New York Central. The basis
for peace was agreed to by both fac
tions. Then Mr. Jewell and his of
ficers returned to Chicago while Mr.
Warfield began active campaign to
line up eastern roads. Mr. Willard
came west and opened secret con
ferences here with western railroad
executives.
Last Thursday Mr. Jewell author
ized a call for his policy commit
tee to meet in Chicago September
llth- Nearly all the first morning
was consumed by a session of the
executive council. That afternoon
they reported in the Willard-Jewell
agreement. Then began a struggle
for peace with Mr. Jewell, his ex
ecutive council and strike chairmen
on western railroads endeavoring to
bring into the peace line chairmen
on roads not parties to the agree
ment.
Not until peace was voted did the
details of the bitter fight become
known. For three days, Mr. Jewell
and his associates talked, pleaded
and argued for an acceptance of the
settlement basis plan. Fearing fail
ure, he did not entertain a motion
for a vote on the proposition until
it was virtually assured that he
TIE FOR CONGRESS
IN FIRST DISTRICT
_____
Overstreet and Moore Have
Won same Number of Votes
in Nominating Convention.
Savannah, Ga„ Sept. 13.—A tie in
the county unit system shows in
the returns from the first congres
sional district, J. W. Overstreet, the
incumbent has carried Chatham,
Burke, Screven, Mclntosh and Ef
fingham Counties with 18 units,
while W. Lee Moore has the same
number of units in carrying Jen
kins, Evans, Bulloch, Bryan, Liberty,
Long, Tattnall and Candler Coun
ties. The popular vote, which was
not available tonight will decide
the question.
It is generally conceded here to
night at midnight the count of the
votes of ('.hatham county having
not yet been completed, that Lee
Moore, of Statesboro, has defeated
Congressman Overstreet. The two
tied as to county unit vitc and the
Chatham majority for Overstreet
will not outweigh the aggregate ma
jarities of Moore in other coun
ties.
Macon, Ga-, Sept. 13.—The Macon
Telegraph announces that Congress
man J. Walter Wise has been re
elected, his opponent. Judge J. J.

'ounty, Spaulding. Governor Hard
wick carried this county.
would have the necessary majority
behind him.
New York Terms Slightly Changed.
The terms of the agreement are
those offered at New York with a
few slight changes made necessary
lo mollify the opposition in the
unions’ ranks. With these terms
is a basis, system federations on
roads not now parties to the agree
ment are authorized to enter peace
negotiations with proper railroad of
ficials. Until these employes are
returned to work, they will be as
sisted financially by those who are
employed.
Present employes and the strikers
will be retained by the railroads
signing the Jcwell-Willard agree
ment. The old men are to return
to their former positions at the
present rates of pay not later than
30 days after the agreement is sign
ed. All strikers with the exception
of those found guilty of acts of vio
lence are to be on the railroads’
payroll at the end of the 30 days'
period. Men will be called back
to work in the order of their stand
ing.
Anticipating disputes arising out
of the men's return to work, the
agreement provides for an arbitra
tion commission composed of six
railroad representatives and six
shop crafts' agents.
On the belief that many carriers
will fallow Jhosc who were parties
to this agreement, it was understood
tonight that the shop crafts offi
cials place their hopes of a nation
wide settlement of the strike- The
action of the agreeing roads, they
were said to believe, will force the
others to the same terms.
Just how soon men on the “peace”
railroads will return to work could
not be learned tonight but it was
predicted that orders ending the
strike on some roads will be issued
within a few hours.
A SNAKE STORY THAT SAVORS
OF A FISH STORY.
A nice mess of fish and a rather
messy snake —that was the result
of a tramp to the woods Tuesday
afternoon. Mr. Jordan Sanford and
Mr. J. W. McFarland returned from
a visit to the “wilds” carrying both
carried on a string. The fish were
caricd on a string because that is
customary and the snake on a string
because that is customary also. The
fish went the way of all good fish
and the snake was too dead to care
that it was neither fish nor fowl.
Anyway the snake was more in the
lime light. We asked the little boy,
who seemed to be the appointed
agent to display the snaky charms
of the vamp to tell us the
snak was killed. His reply was, “In
the Head.’’ After making it clear
that we were more interested in geo
graphy than physiology we were
told that a cotton patch was the
scene of the struggle. Mr. Sanford
who had killed many snakes before
waved the honor in favor of Mr.
McFarland who following instruc
tions cut down a sassafras bush
while the snake acconiodatingly
waited and was shooed in the proper
path by the professor's frantic wav
ing of a coat. The rattler was sev
eral feet long and quite plump. Pos
sibly he had cultivated a taste for
boll weevil and could therefore stay
fat in lean times. The rattles were
given the little boy down the street.
We asked him how many there were
and seeming to think that we were
not impressed by the ancient line
age of the deceased he added, “But
I ’sped he done rattled off the hig
hest ones.”

Atlanta. Sept. 13—Clifford W. Wal
ker, who was defeated two years ago
by Thomas \V. Hardwick for gover
nor of Georgia, appeared to have
turned the tables and won a sweep
ing victory in the Democratic pri
mary for the gubernatorial nomina
tion today, on the face of incomplete
returns received up to 11:30 o’clock
tonight by the Atlanta Constitution.
These figures indicated that Wal
ker had carried 103 counties with a
county unit vote of 268, or a major
ity of the 416 unit votes, and that
Hardwick had 41 counties with a
total vote of 108. Sixteen counties
were yet to report.
Governor Hardwick, who formerly
represented Georgia in the United
j States senate, lost the support this
year of l nited States Senator Thos.
I*.. Watson of Georgia, his close allv
j of two years ago. and lie asserted in
his addresses that his chief opposi
| tion came from the “radical ele
ments” of the Ku Klu.x Klan and of
organized labor.
“I shall have a word to say as lo
the significance of the victory in
the Macon convention”, said Mr.
Walker tonight, in a brief statement
in which he expressed his apprecia
tion to his supporters. Demo ratio
j nomination in Georgia is regarded
I as equivalent to election, and the of
ficial results are announced at a
Democratic convention after the pri
mary. A full state ticket as well
as congressional contests was voted
upon today, and incomplete returns
indicated that in the fifth',
eighth congressional districts the
incumbents, \V. I). Upshaw, j. W.
W’isc and C. H. Brand, respectively,
had been renominated. The Macon
Telegraph announced that Mr. Wise
had carried alt but one county. The
race in the first district appeared
to be a tie in county unit votes be
tween Representative J. W. Over
street and \Y. Lee Moore, according
to the Savannah Morning News. In
that case the popular vote, not com
pletely counted tonight, would de
cide the issue. The returns from
the other district in which there
was a contest, the ninth, had not
come in late tonight.
In the state offices, the winners,
on the face of incomplete returns
to The Constitution, appeared to be
as follows:
Chief justice supreme court, R. B.
Bussell; court of appeals, B. C. Bell;
slate commissioner of agriculture,
.1, J. Brown; railroad commissioner,
•J- A. Perry and W. R. McDonald;
prison commissioner. R. 15. Davison;
state superintendent of education,
M. L. Dugan.
Russell Leads for Chief Justice.
Macon, Ga., Sept. 13.—With all hut
s, ; x counties heard from, and little
probability these will come in to
night, Clifford Walker has swept
Ibc state in nomination for gover
nor, his landslide being far heavier
than that in which he was defeated
two years ago by Thomas W. Hard
wick for the same office. Walker has
a total county unit, or convention
vote, in the number of counties
of 271 while Hardwick’s total unit
vote is only 124.
The result in this contest docs
not differ from the history of 40
years. In that time no incumbent
of the office, who has run to suc
ceed himself with opposition has
succeeded. Smith failed as did Joe
Brown, Nat Harris and Hugh Dor
sey.
Hardwick’s opposition originated
when his private secretary. Col. I).
B. Blalock announced his father,
A. O. Blalock, as a candidate for
commissioner of agriculture from
Hardwick’s office. But for that in
cident those who are in position to
he on “the inside” say Hardwick
would not have had opposition.
Coupled with this the Ku Klux Klan
pitched a relentless fight on Hard
wick, as did the "12-20” Club.
In the minor races, returns in up
to midnight show .1. A. Perry re
elected on the Railroad Commis
sion. Johnson is leading witii Mc-
Donald a close second and Palmour
thrid in the race for the other place
on the commission. R. 15. Davison
is overwhelmingly re-elected on the
prison commission, and J.udgc R. C.
Bell holds the seat he has on the
court of appeals. Russell is lead
ing Kish for chief justice of the
supreme court and Duggan is lead
ing for stale school commissioner.

HOUSE SENDS B/ICK
TARIFF BiLL DUE
TO OYE EMBARGO
Vote 177 to 130 in Favor of
Recommitting Bill to Con
ferees; Potash to Go on
Free List.
Washington, Sept. 13.—Revolting
against the action of the conferees
in writing back into the administra
tion tariff bill a dye embargo licens
ing provision and a duty on potash,
the house late today sent that meas
ure hack to conference. Its mana
gers were instructed to accept sen
ate amendments repealing the exist
ing dye embargo and placing potash
on the free list.
Some republican house leaders,
plainly surprised and disappointed,
were pessimistic as to what the ulti
mate result wf the house action
would he. Representative Mondell,
of Wyoming, the floor leader, said
he did not know what the outcome
would he, while Chairman Fordney,
of the ways and means committee,
said it looked doubtful whether
there would be a bill at this session
of congress. Chairman McCumber,
of the senate managers, took a more
optimistic view, however, stating
that the senate would agree to an
other conference and that the dif
ferences would be adjusted speed
ily.
The vote in the house was 177 to
130, with 102 republicans, 74 demo
crats and the one socialist voting in
support of the motion by Represen
tative Garner, democrat, Texas*, to
recommit and 126 republicans and
four democrats voting against it.
The vote followed a day of parlia
mentary wrangling and sharp de
bate and announcement of the re
sult by Speaker Gillctt was greeted
by applause on both sides of the
chamber and with loud cheers from
many of tlie democrats.
Republicans supporting the Garn
er motion included Scott and Tay
lor, both of Tennessee.
Democrats voting against Garner
motion were Campbell, Penn, and
Fabrot, Lazaro and Martin, all of
Louisiana.
Most of the republicans voting
for the Garner motion are from the
western agricultural states and New
York, with a majority of them op
posing both the dye embargo provi
sion and the duty on potash. Other
sections of the bill, however, came
in for sharp criticism from the re
publican side and sonic leaders re- 1
garded present sentiment in the
house as so divided as to make
doubtful the fate of the measure.
Apparently the move by Repre
sentative Garner, who is the ranking
democrat or. the committee which
framed the original tariff, to include
potash in his motion to recommit
took the managers of the bill by
surprise.

MRS. HARDING'S
TUITION BETTER
W ash inert
ing that Mrs. inw v V’ had enjoyed
today the best day “sr.tce her illness ;
became critical, the night statement ;
from the White House physicians
said convalescence was continuing i
so satisfactory that the regular!
bullet ins would he discontinued
from this time.
The statement follows:
“Mrs. Harding's condition at 8 p.
in.: Temperature, 100; pulse, 90;
respiration, 26.
“All appearance and conditions
show the best day since the serious
time of the illness. Convalescence
will necessarily be tedious. All t

vary only slightly from day day. j
Sufficient reports will he given to j
relate progress of case. Regular bul 1

COTTON PRODUCTION IN COI N
TV CONSIDERABLA BEHIND.
The production of cotton in Jef
ferson County is considerably below
par this year as compared to the
production of former years. In ad
dition to the ravages of the boll
weevil the farmers of this section
have had to contend with the heavy
rains that retarded growth of cotton
and sitnnilated the growth of grass.
Nevertheless, some very pretty cot
ton has been grown in Jefferson
County and there will be more pro
duced than the pessimist hoped. As
against the 855 bales ginned last
year by September tlie first. 1922
conies up only with 259. The greater
part of the cotton lias not been
picked however and it would seem
that when the entire crop is in wc
will believe that there is life yet
in the old land.

GOVERNMENT STILL j
SEEKS INJUNCTION!
Chicago.— Undeterred by rc- j
; ports of a peace agreement between *
' the striking shop crafts and a por
tion of the country’s railroads the
j government today continued to in-j
■ troduce evidence from all parts of
the country charging violence and
intimidation by strikers, on the!
strength of which it is seeking an
i injunction against thorn.
Digging into the 20,000 or more af
fidavits of unlawful acts charged to
the striking shop workers and their
! sympathizers. Attorney-General
Daugherty's assistants worked road ]
i by road and state by state to prove j
| their claim that the violence is so
i widespread as to show a concerted
1 effort to interrupt and destroy in
! terstatc traffic. When attorneys for
; the strike leaders objected that spe
oific affidavits of assault and intim
idation failed to show any eon nee -
! tion with the strike or the strikers,
the prosecution pointed out that sim
ilar attacks committed in a similar
way had been definitely traced by
i sworn affidavits to men actually
j known to be members of the strik
ing crafts, and that in every case
i the victims were non-union men or
men who had refused to quit work.
Nearly 200 affidavits were placed
! in the record today and Blackburn
i Fsterline, assistant to the solicitor
i general, announced that the reading
; would continue tomorrow, Friday
| and possibly Saturday.
The peace settlement reported
reached on some roads will not ef
fect the government’s prosecution
of the injunction case, Mr. Daugher
ty’s spokesman said, and one gov
ernment attorney declared peace on
all roads would not alter the gov-
I ernment’s determination to prose
cute the case.
I Something of the cost of the strike
; was revealed in an affidavit of Gen
eral Manager Jeffers of the Union
Pacific, that his road had spent $65.-
000 for nearly ten miles of nine-foot
high board fence erected in stock
ades to protect non-union employes,
and had spent an additional $105.-
000 for barracks and commissary
buildings used to feed and house
workers.
