l'HE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAf, JULY 18, 1913. 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.

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. CHARGES MISSISSIPPI HAS BEEN DEFRAUDED That BY FLOYC COUNTy JUDGE Judge Moses Wright Also Urges Stringent Locker Club Probe (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) 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.

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.

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.
