STRIKE EXPECTED
DUH AFTERNOON
-
Either Strike Will Be Called
Off Thursday Afternoon or
the Breach Between Road'
and Men Will Widen
According to a statement at noon
from Vice Preaid ent Vai Fitzpatrick, of
the trainmen, the general strike threat
ened on all roads entering Atlanta has
narrowed down to two or three car
riera. t
He also said that by $ or 4 o’clock
Thursday afternoon he expects to hear
that the strike on the Georgia road
has been settled, or that negotiations
at Augusta have failed.
Meantime, he and Vice President
Sines, of the trainmen, have arranged
that the meeting of fifteen chairmen
representing trainmen and conductors
of all roads entering here shall be held
at noon Friday at the Kimball house.
At this meeting the question of a
strike affecting the other roads enter
ing Atlanta will be discussed, but Indi
cations are that a general strike will
not be considered.
* The assurance was given Thursday
morning to officials of the trainmen and
conductors that the Southern road and
several other roads will not aid either
the Georgia railway or the Atlanta
Joint Terminals company or otherwise
involve themselves in the strike.
F. H. Chapman, vice president ind
general manager of the Southern road,
arrived Thursday morning and declared
to Vice President Vai Fitzpatrick that
the Southern will keep clear of the
strike and will lend no aid in the ship
ments of the Georgia road and the ter
minals company.
His assurance frees the Southern from
the danger of a strike, although this road
*as placed first among those that would
>e affected by a general strike; and Vico
• President Fitzpatrick’s statement excepts
other roads from the possibility of a tie
up.
In fact, at 2 o’clock it seems that
whether the Georgia road strike is settled
Thursday afternoon in Augusta, or nego
tiations fall, only one or two other roads
are threatened by a larger strike.
An official of the Atlanta Joint
Terminals company, agrees with
Vice President Vai Fitzpatrick in
thinking that the Georgia road strike
will be settled within a few hours or ne
gotiations will fall.

willing to take back as many of the
forty-six men who struck as it can with
out discharging new men who were hired
in their places. But we are unwilling
to discharge men to make way for the
strikers."
Commissioner of Labor Neill is present
ing this statement Thursday tn Augus
ta to General Manager Scott, of the
Georgia road, and to Vice Presidents
Murdock and Gregg, of the trainmen. Out
of the conference of these four men a
settlement is hoped.
But despite the change in the situation,
which seems to end the probability of a
strike on all roads entering Atlanta,
the meting of chairmen at noon on Fri
day will have much significance. If the
strike negotiations fail in Augusta, these
chairmen will undoubtedly take action
of great importance.
A dispatch from Augusta says that a
strike affecting other roads that enter
here will be left with the chairmen
Their recommendation, according to this
dispatch, will be followed by Vice Pres
• idents Murdock and Gregg, who are di
recting the strikera
G. H. Sines, vice president of the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen,
aaid Thursday morning:
“Information that came to me yes
terday indicates that other roads en
tering Atlanta are going so far in their
assistance to the Georgia road and the
Atlanta Joint Terminals company that
a strike is likely on other roads.
“But I can’t say definitely what will
be done until the chairmen meet and
report what part the other railroads
are taking in the strike on the Georgia
road.
“If we find that they are giving
active assistance, we will warn them
to kep hands off.
“Nothing, however, will be done till
after the meeting of the chairmen.
The strikers charge that other roads
are assisting the Georgia road and the
Atlanta Joint Terminals company by pre
paring freight that Is to be handled by
the terminals company. Other roads, they
insist, block freight cars in solid strings
so that little switching is left for the
terminals company to d<*
This assistance to the terminals com
pany is construed by them to be direct
aid to the Georgia road, for they Insist
that the company and tne road are un
der one management and are virtually

aid to the Georgia road, in the eyes of
the strikers; and they contend that other
roads are exerting every effort to re
lieve the terminals company of the task
of switching freight.
According to the contentions of the
strikers, green hands are at work in the
terminal sards who are unequal to the
work of switching many cars: and to aid
them and th3 company other roads are
blocking freight into solid strings before
K passes into the hands of the terminals
company.

This meeting of»the chairmen was
not held Wednesday night, and has
been deferred Friday at noon, be

19,000 FLAMING TORCHES LIGHT
ENTRY OF WILSON INTO ST. LOUIS:
“TRIM TEDDY AND SAVE MISSOURI!”
Old-Time Transparencies, Fife
and Drum Corps, Shouting,
Howling Voters, Make Big
gest Din Since 1884
BY BAX.PK BMXTH.
ST. LOUIS. Mo.. Oct. 10.—Taking the
St. Louis newspapers and the police at
their word. Woodrow Wilson’s visit to
this city last night provoked the big
gest and most emotional demonstration
that It has witnessed since 1884.
While 20,000 crammed every foot of the
coliseum, the convention hall to hear the
governor. 19,000 more delirious organiza
tion men paraded the neighboring streets
creating a hub-bub that made New Year s
eve on Broadway seem feeble In com
parison. The din was almost fiendish.
After all. It takes the bombastic Mis
souri sort of political rallies to add the
picturesque touch to a campaign and the
crowd that looks up to “Dave" Francis
and National Committeeman Goltra as
leaders laid the picturesque touch on
thick.
There were human beings from the four
corners of creation In the parade—yes,
they had a native born Mongolian In the
line. Every man carried a torch and
those 19,000 torches looked like so many
fire flies as you looked up and down the
flaring line as far as the eye could
reach. And then, they had something
that was seen for the first time In this
campaign—the good old transparencies,
with such endearing expressions as “Trim
him. Woody, and redeem Missouri. Gol
tra took the governor through the six
miles that they said the parade covered,
and It forced expressions of surprise
from him.
MISSOURI SHOWS ’ESI.
“This is incredible.” he declared at one
point, where there was a negro fife and
drum corps leading a battalion of stur
dy voters from the shores of sunny Italy.
The concourse kept up an incessant
cheer and got lots of encouragement
from the twenty bands that were In line.
The head of t he line reached the coli
seum at 9:30 and began to rush the
hall. It was simply imposible for them
to gain admittance, for the vast audi
torium had been packed two hours be
fore. Inside the hall there was another
frenzied outbreak when the governor ap
peared on the arm of Champ Clark.
Cries of “Wilson,” split the air and
Princeton locomotive crashed against the
ceiling time and again, and the governor
frayed In voice and tired through and
through, stood there smiling and
It seemed.
A PICTURE OF HARMONY.
Champ Clark completed the picture of
harmony. . .
Like all other meetings in such vast
halls. It was simply Impossible for the
governor to make himself heard beyond
the .first ten rows. The governor has been
burdened with so many speeches on this
trip that his vocal chords are seriously
effected. Every night meeting this week
has been in convention auditoriums, and,
az a result, the governor’s effectiveness
aa a platform speaker has been sadly
ILs* speech was on the same topics
that he has dwelt on in the last few
days. The crowds surged out and wait
ed at the doors to get a glimpse of him.
There were about 10,0 W in the swaying
mass that got about the governor’s car
and the police, remembering what the
governor had gone through at Kansas
City the night before, ordered a flank
movement and got the governor out by
another door.
They did not give Governor Wilson a
single minute s rest from the time he
arrived in St. Louis at 4:30 until he left
at midnight. Just before the coliseum
rally he was the guest of the editors
of the state Democratic newspapers at
the rtbtel Jefferson and there, in a mod
erate sized auditorium struck his usual
gait as a speaker and aroused a lot of
enthusiasm.
The crowds outside were so anxious to
see the governor that they crowded the
window sills, and finally forced the gov
ernor to go te an opening window and
show himself.
AT THE BANQUET.
At that banquet besides Messrs. Gol
tra and Francis, there were former Gov
ernors Folk and Dockery and the guber
natorial nominees in Missouri and Illi
nois. Elliott Major and Edward F.
Dunne, respectively.
Ih his talk to the editors, the gov
ernor spoke in part as follows:
"The whole of the problem that -we
now face, gentlemen, is a problem with
which you are yourselves intimately con
nected; because I feel that the newspa
pers of this country and perhaps I may
say particularly the country newspapers
of this country, are responsible for the
exact slant whlph opinion is to take with
regard to public matters. Because the
dally or the weekly impression after a
while becomes Indelible and It Is only
by the reiteration of the things that
we all of us see that we shall be able
to govern opinion and to mould It perma
netly as we desire for the welfare of
the country.
"There have been numerous revela
tions within the last few days as a re
sult of the investigation of the Clapp
committee in Washington. You have
not been taken by surprise by those rev
lelations; you cannot say that there is
anything in them that you did not
know before, excepting their detail; you
know just as well as if it had been
part of your familiar thought all along
that these corporations, these great in
terest* were contributing to the success
of the Republican party.
“I dare say that corporations have
upon occasion contributed to Demo
| cratic funds, but never In anything like
I the same proportion, never with any
thing like the same expectation with
iwhich they have contributed to Repub
lican funds. You have known always,
Ilf you have known anything, that the
big business interests of this country
I supported the Republican party with
the expectation, and exaction that the
Republican party should take care of
I them. That la the system, with a big
C. upon which the Republican party
ihas been maintained. t
“I am not saying this byway of In
dictment. I am not saying it byway
of blame; It is merely an accepted and
acknowledged fact. And now we are
face to face with this problem how to
convince public opinion that a party
based and supported upon that system
can rescue the country from the very
things which that system has set up.
“To tv rn back, as In some quarters it
seems likely that independent opinion
In the Republican party will turn back,
to Mr. Taft and the regular organizatlo-
Is to turn back to the inert wu
sequences of tne system. Mark what
the results will be. There is not a
problem tn this country which can
be solved unless that old understand

broken up. You cannot solve the con
servation question until then.
STBIKEBfIEMER KILLED;
TROLLEY CMS ROCKED
Sympathizers Hold Up Augus
ta Car and Shoot the
Motorman -to Death
BY CHARLES PHILLIPS, JB.
(Staff Correspondent.)
AUGUSTA, Ga., Oct 10.—Motorman
Frank Kelly, a strikebreaker from New
York, was killed, and Allen Brooks, a
strikebreaking conductor, was fatally
shot early last night, when strike sym
pathizers held up an Incoming Summer
ville trolley car at the corner of Walton
way and Crawford avenue, In one of the
most thickly populated residential dis
tricts of the city.
• Trolley cars are running this morning
In the martial law zone, although sev
eral cars have been rocked and several
of the Augusta-Aiken Railway and Elec
tric company’s trainmen have been badly
injured during the morning and missiles
hurled by strike sympathizers.
The first cars sent out this morning
were attacked, and when the men re
turned to the barn they refused for two
hours to go out again. The strike sym
pathizers apparently went to work, how
ever, and the regular schedules are again
being maintained.
Through the efforts of Mayor Barrett,
the trolley company has offered a sub
stantial increase in the wage scale in an
effort to end the strike, but it is not
considered probable that the strikers
will accept the concessions of the com
pany as they stand.
A meeting however, will be held dur
ing the day and the strikers are ex
pected to give a definite answer to
the appeal of the mayor.
The killing last night was one of the
most dramatic incidents of the turbu
lent three weeks that the trolley strike
has been on.
MOTORMAN KILLED
The car with two negro passengers
aboard was halted in front of the
Schuetzen Platz, at the brilliantly
lighted corner, by two men, who board
ed It as passengers. The car had
scarcely started, when one of the men
picked the motorman and the other the
conductor, and simultaneously they
opened fire with revolvers.
Motorman Kelly first received a bul
let In the hand. As he turned around
another bit of lead perforated his
stomach. As hs jumped from the car,
ahofher shot struck him in, the arm.
Conductor Brooks was shot in the
spine, the bullet entering near the ninth
vertebrae and inflicting a wound sim
ilar to that suffered by E. H. Grace,
of Atlanta. Brooks was operated on
during the morning, but physicians
hold no hope for his recovery. He has
given the police a good description of
his would-be assassin.
TO GIVE NAVAL MEN
A WIDER EXPERIENCE
(By As»oci*ted Pr®»».)
WASHINGTON. Oct. 10.—In order to
give young navy officers a greater va
riety of experience in their earlier years
and to throw them more on their own
1 resources, the navy department has
adopted a new system in detailing of
ficers to the gunboats and smaller ves
sels. In the future the period of duty
for gunboat officers, except the com
mander, will be only one year so that
a greater number of them may have
the advantages of training on vessels
where their Individual responsibilities
and range of • duties are greater. The
department believes that thq smaller
vessels are excellent training schools.
Another advantage of this policy, it is
believed. 13 that It will make duty on
gunboats and small cruisers more pop
ular, Involving only short separation
from the fleet, the officers at the end
of’their year being ordered to battle
ships and armored cruisers. It is said
the same policy, probably dllghtly modi
fied, will be applied to duty aboard
destroyers.
BIRMINGHAM GREEKS

Director Calvin Makes
Statement to Journal
' The following statement was made
Thursday by Director Calvin to The
Journal:
Experiment, Ga.,-.Oct. 9.
Mr. Editor: In the necessarily brief
telegraphic reports that have gone and
may go to the state press, in the mat
ter of charges preferred against me
by four members of <the station staff, i
some errors as to the facts will creep i
in.
I expressed to the board of directors ;
yesterday the consciousness of duty i
faithfully performed, and. Incidentally i
mentioned the fact that I would not
be a candidate for re-election next year, j
I have seen a published statement that ■
conveys the idea that I had been |
forced to that conclusion by the at- )
tack made on me. Not so. In Febru- •
ary or March of this year, having oc- |
casion to write Chancellor Barrow, of
the State University, I said' to him
that I would not ask for re-election
next year. My friend, Hon. James E.
Brown, of Newnan, has known for j
months my determination in the mat- ;
ter; so have other of my friends ■
throughout the state. Mr. Kimbrough >
of the staff has known it since April '
last, just after he and I had been re- .
eleccd to our respective positions.
It has been published that an invest!- i
gation of the station books and ac
co ts have been ordered, but omission :
was made’that the examination is to go
back ten years. I have been here less
than six years, so it will go back of
the beginning of my administration
four years. But the statement pub

Attendance
In the first three games New York
and Boston, contestants for the world’s
championship, broke even, one game
being a tie.
In the first game Joe Wood was too
much for the New' York batsmen and
Boston won 4-3. A. ninth inning rally
came within one run of putting the
Giants in the lead, only the great
pitchig of Wood in the final Inning
holding down the score.
The second game was a tie battle,
the battle raging to a 6-6 tie through
eleven innings when jt was called ow
ing to darkness. Only Seaker’s home
run in the tenth inning saved the day
for Boston. Mathewson was the star
of this game, pitching masterful ball
and not walking a batter. Collins,
Hall and Bedient pitched for Boston,
al lof whom were hit hard.
Rube Marquard pitched New York
to victory in the third game which re
sulted in a 2-1 score. Timely batting
won the game. O’Brien and Bedient
pitched for Boston.
