QUICK ACT OF CONGRESS
TO SETTLE TRAINMEN ROW
'Passes Both Houses of Con
gress and May Become Law
by Night
WASHINGTON, July 17.—The New
.landg bill, revising the Erdman law to
provide arbitration of wage disputes in
a manner satisfactory to railroads and
their employees, passed the house to
day without a roll call and was hurried
to the senate khich was waiting to pass
it for President Wilson’s signature.
The senate passed the Newlands bill
without a roll call, and it was hur
riedly prepared for transmission to the
White House, where President Wilson
was ready to sign it.
President Wilson has said he
would sign the measure im
mediately. Meanwhile there is a truce
between the railroads and their men.
Both sides have agreed to submit their
•differences to arbitration under the new
terms that will be provided.
With the passage of the new law,
the selection of a government commis
sioner of mediation is the next step. He
is to be appointed by the president and
will hold office seven years Among
those whose names are being discussed
for the place are Martin A. Knapp, now
presiding judge of the commerce court;
Dr. ^harles P. Neill, former commission
er of labor, both of whom have been
identified with the settlement of wage
disputes under the old Erdman act; and
William Lea Chambers, who also has
served as a mediator under the law.
TWO AMENDMENTS.
Two amendments were determined on
by the house judiciary committee. The
senate was expected to accept them
without delay.
One aims to make impossible any con
struction that would authorize courts,
by injunction or otherwise, to compel
an employe to labor.
In its perfected form the new law
would furnish machinery expected to
open the possibilities of arbitration and
federal mediation.
The new law would establish the
“United States board of mediation and
conciliation,” to consist of a federal
“commissioner of mediation and concil
iation” and two other officials of the
government to be designated by the
president. This board could be appealed
to to intervent in a railroad labor dis
pute by either party, and would first
use its best efforts, by mediation and
conciliation, to bring the disputants to
an agreement. Failure would be fol
lowed by an attempt on the part of
the board to “induce the parties to sub
mit their controversy to arbitration,”
and in case arbitration was agreed to,
special boards of either three or *six
mediators would be chosen by the rail
roads and the employes.
Arbitration under the new law would
be undertaken only after a definite
agreement had been made by both par
ties to abide by the decision of the
arbitration board for a stated period.

the hardness of the ground, but the
peaches are being shipped steadily and

Progress Tailoring Co., D«pt.i«47. Chicago
T HE all-cotton malady in the south
can be cured.
Walter Cooper’s Idea of curing
the illness with a hundred thousand
Corn club boys was a superb indict
ment af the disease and should and
will contribute much to its alleviation.
Mr. Manns also diagnosed the case
truly in Georgia when he announced
that his company would prescribe for
this state the produce cure.
But it is left to the Moultrie cham
ber of commerce to discover a definite
antitoxin and apply it first to the pa
tient. Moultrie started a war on the
all-cotton plan over thirty days ago,
and so much has been said about the
efforts being applied here that it is
thought best to giv3 the details in or
der that other counties may profit by
them.
It has been a theory with the non
farming classes in Georgia and the
south in general that if the southern
farmer would quit raising so much
cotton he would get along better. The
newspapers have published volumes
about it, and the “time copy” hook m
every newspaper office is always full
of editorials and reprints urging the
farmers to stop planting cotton. But
with all the advice from everybody,
the average farmer in Georgia goes
right on planting cotton and very lit
tle but „otton.
Why?
Because there is no other crop he
can sel. for money.
Oh, but here is John Jones,” you
say, “who made a million bushels of
Irish . atoes on two rows last year
and sold them for enough to live on
the balance of" his life.”
Yet, the average Georgia farmer has
average good sense and after listening
to , jur story, he goes hack home and
plants another crop of cotton. Now
and then, as he is able and has time,
he experiments a little and if it hits
right, he may Co another truck stunt
the following year, but the very first
time his experimenting fails, he looks
askance aqd throws down the hope
and goes hack to cotton.
PRODUCE MARKET.
When the business men of the south
make a sure and permanent market
for produce, the farmer will cease to
plant all cotton and Georgia will begin
to keep her $172,000,000 at home—the
annual amount she sends out for
produce.
The Moultrie chamber of commerce
has inaugurated a' plan tljat seems
practical, at least. It may fall, hut it
has the et< ments of success in it. Here
it is:
First, the chamber got together and
pledged itself to build a packing house
to buy hogs, cops, sheep and goats, to
slaughter and cure meats and furnish
cold storage at a reasonable price to
all -who desired. The chamber ar
ranged to organize a holding company
to buy hay, grain and so forth, and
the bankers of Moultrie agreed to let
the farmers have money on warehouse
receipts for grain and hay, provided
f he farmers chose not to sell outright
at harvest season.
Then the chamber wenc out and
told ihe farmers what had been done,
called a meeting, asked them to co
operate in the plan by organizing
through the chamber of commerce the
Colquitt County Produce federation,
The farmers were elated and forthwith
the federation was organized. They
not only were willing to co-operate,
but -hey were eager. They saw its
value to then as quickly as the busi
ness men saw it for themselves.
Now, this federation is simply the
Moultrie chamber of commerce work
ing in the country. There are only
195 members of it exclusive of the
president, who lives in the country;
the "ice president, who lives in town,
and the secretary, who is the secre
tary of the Moultrie chamber of com
merce and who works his country
forces practically the same as he works
his town forces. There is a vice
president and twelve executive com
mitteemen in each militia district, and
these, with the general officers, con
stitute the federation. Every one of
these becomes a member of the Moul
trie chamber of commerce by virtue
of his portion in the federation. No
fees or dues. The Moultrie chamber
of commerce finances the federation.
WORK OF FEDERATION.
Now, the organization is ready for
business. What are you going to do
with it? Does it raise hogs, grow
truck or hay and grain? No, but it
stands ready to organize grain and
hay clubs, truck associations, stock
clubs, poultry clubs, dairies—anything
that can and will agree to influence
its members to raise produce—some
thing to eat for man and beast. Some
of these ideas may be combined in a
single club, hut there may be a dis
tinct club for each work in every dis
trict, according to conditions and re
quirements. Until things get going,
it may be veil to combine ideas. Four
-sip qoua raojj uameoniuituoo aqt jo
trict are chosen because of their spe
cial interest in hay and grain, four for
their inclination toward stock, and
four who know something of truck and
fruit growing, so that all produce in
terests are represented on each dis
trict hoard. No all-cotton specialist
is a member.
Now the cholera breaks out. in a dis
trict, the stock club o’- stock commit
tee no’tifies the secretary and enough
serum is sent out for tne herds -where
the cholera appears. A serum syringe
has already- been presented to each
militia district by the chamber, and it
is in the hands of a convenient farmer
who has ij en taught to use it. He
vaccinates all the herds whose own
ers desire if, and the owner pays for
the serum at cost and for thq services
of the operator when he requires it,
his pay being fixed by the executive
board.
Literature, lectures, experts, all val
uable Information is arranged for and
distributed through the federation,
the secretary being the paid secretary
of the chamber of commerce, whose
.business it is to look after these farm
ers and their interests, as well as
after the citizens of the town and
S' their interests. Already the idea has
cemented the two interests and the
country and town are working to
gether as never before. The town
people must make the packing house
pay, but they cannot do it unless the
farmers raise the stock. The farmers
mtiAt sell their hogs, and cows and
sheep and goats, but they cannot do
it without the packing house. The
wholesale houses have been buying
train loads of hay and grain in the
west, hut for the next year, the farm
ers promise that they will use a large
part of their cotton lands for grain
,and hay, because there is a company
GAMBLING IN MONISH JUDGE SPEER'S
T STOP, SMS JUDGE RECALLED TD
Jury Ordered to Probe Homes
and Clubs, as Well as Alleys
and Dives
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.;
MONTGOMERY, Ala., July 17.—In
vestigation of gambling in fashionable
homes and clubs of Montgomery as
well as in dives and back alleys was
requested by Armstead Brawn, associate
judge of the Montgomery city court, in
his charge to the grand jury Monday. He
declared that gambling is carried on in
many places and is defended by many
persons and that enforcement of the law
will be difficult.
“I do not know whether conditions
in the gambling* evil are better than
they were,” said the judge, ‘but I do
know of human nature and the fascina
tion which gambling and batting and
all games of chance have for the aver
age -man or woman—they flourish in
our clubs and fashionable homes as weil
as in dives and back alleys—and I have
an idea that anything like a thorough
enforcement of the law would require
great persistence and patience.
“While it is the professional gam
bling resort and gambling in public
places and lotteries of all sorts at
which the law is mainly aimed, still
gambling in some form or other is so
widespread and by so many people de
fended and thought harmless as to add
to the difficulty of enforcing the law
against those forms of it which are pro
hibited.”
The court instructed the grand jury
to bring indictments for murder where
evidence warranted, and ordered a thor
ough investigation of the Montgomery
county jail. Warren T. Savage was ap
pointed foreman of the jfiry.
Judge’s Recent Speech Be
lieved to Have Prompted
Senate to Get Report
fSnppfal Dispatch to The Journal.)
MACON, Ga., July 17.—R. C. Lewis,
inspector from the department of jus
tice of Washington, has been called to
Washington after a month's inspection
of the federal court records of the
southern district of Georgia, which
courts are presided over by Judge Em
ory Speer. He was called by the sen
ate for his report of the special investi
gations he has made since he was sent
here. The call by the senate came
through a resolution of Senator Works,
by California, which is thought to have
been prompted by the recent speech of
Judge Speer before the Iowa Bar as
sociation, in which he declared that he
was being shadowed and trailed by de
tectives from the department of jus
tice.

ROME, Ga., July 17.—At the opening
of the July term of Floyd superior
court a decided sensation was caused
by the charge of Judge Moses Wright
to the grand jury, in which he scored
the loan sharks and urged that the
grand jury investigate and indict, . if
possible, all men who were charging
more than a reasonable rate of interest.
He urged further an investigation of
all the Rome locker clubs, and insisted
upon the indictment of all persons con
nected with the operation of illegal
clubs which had been organized for
the purpose of evading the law.
He condemned the county jail as in
sanitary and urged that an appropria
tion be made for its improvement.
COLLEGIANS INTERESTED
IN MILITARY LIFE
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, July 17.—College
men are showing great enthusiasm for
military life and have the making of ex
cellent soldiers, in the opinion of Major
General Leonard Wood, just returned
from the maneuver camp at Gettys
burg. He reported to this effect today
to Secretary Garrison, commanding the
progress being made by the students.
Owing to the lack of time for prepar
ation, it was not possible to secure a
large attendance of the collegians, but
there are now 175 in camp training
with the regular soldiers and receiving
special lectures in military science from
half a dozen war college officers.
The students’ enthusiasm, it is pre
dicted, and their glowing reports will
induce many of their college mates to
participate in the encampment next
year.
Similar satisfactory reports have
been received from the presidio at
Monterey. Several western college stu
dents are in camp there with the reg
ulars.

(By Associated Press.)
JACKSON, Miss., July 17.—The
Hinds county grand jury today began
investigation of Governor Brewer’s
charge that the state had been de
frauded out of half a million dollars

PUPILS DF HIGH SCHOOLS
GREAT FORCE FOR OPLIFT
Good Citizenship Should Be
Direct Aim of Their Stud
ies, Says Educator
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, July 17.—The 1,300.-
000 boys and girls in the high schools
in the United States constitute the
greatest force of any nation in the
world for social uplift and advancement
of civilization, in the opinion of Dr.
Thomas Jesse Jones, of the United
States bureau of education.
In a statement Issued through the
bureau today, Dr. Jones declared that
wtih the teachers of social science and
history in these schools rests the re
sponsibility of developing this force for
national good.
“Good citizenship should be the di
rect aim of the high school courses
in social science and history,” says Dr.
Jones.
“Good citizenship is the test that
must be applied to every topic in these
courses. Facts, conditions, theories, ac
tivities which do not contribute directly
to the appreciation of methods of hu
man betterment have no claim on the
time of the pupil.”
The educator contends that civics
must be not merely a study of gov
ernment machinery, but a study of so
cial efforts to improve mankind.
“It is the things near at hand and
socially fundamental that should be
tauht firgst,” he says.“every pupil should,
of course, know how the president of
the United States is elected, but he
should also understand the duties of
the health officer in his community.”
NEW TRIAL FOR PREACHER
ON CHILD BURNING CHARGE
FORT SMITH, Ark., July 17.—Marion
Capps, a preacher convicted of burning
his three children to death, has been
granted a new trial by the supreme
court, according to information received
here. The jury’s failure to state the
degree of murder of which Capps was
guilty and the alleged affidavits of his
fifteen-year-old daughter, Bertha, and
his twelve-yearo-ld son, Ellis, that they
had testified falsely against him at his
trial, were stated as the grounds for
granting the next trial.
The testimony of the children con
victed their father.

PEKING, July 17.—Eight provinces—
Kiang-Si, Kiang-Su, Kwang-Si, Fo-Kien,
Sze-Chuen, Hu-Nan, Ngan-Wei and
Kwang-Tung—are preparing to declare
their independence and to form a south
ern Chinese confederacy, according to
apparently authoritative statements.
Fighting continues in Kiang-Si. Large
numbers of northern troops are pro
ceeding there.
The attitude of the Japanese is bit
terly commented on here. The Chinese
believe they are stirring up strife ev
erywhere. Japanese officers are said to
be fighting with the rebels. The pres
ence of Japanese gunboat in the fight
ing zone lends corroboration to this be
lief. The southerners openly claim they
have received assurances of Japanese
support.
The German consulate at Nanking was
surrounded today by insurgents.
Apparently the trouble arose owing
to Germans recently permitting the ex
tradition of two revolutionaries who
took refuge in the German concession
at Hankow.

MULHALL TELLS OF FUND
TO FIGHT LEGISLATION
WASHINGTON, July 17.—A fund of
$500,000 to $700,000 a year raised by
the national council for industrial de
fense—an adjunct of the National As-»
sociation of Manufacturers—for oppos
ing legislation the’ manufacturers did
not favor, was described to the senate
lobby committee today by Martin M.
Mulhall. He testified he had no per
sonal knowledge of the existence of such
a fund, but declared that a collector for
the organization had recently given
those figures to the New York World.
“I often have thought and have sug
gested,” said Mulhall, “that the coun
cil ought to be investigated by the post-
office. If it were investigated, I feel
that the gentlemen who run it will have
a hard time accounting for the money ,
collected.”
Mulhall swore money had been paid
to him from the fund for the political,
purposes.
