Weekly wl VOLUME NVI\ Street Cars Are Run on Normal Schedules as Disorder Stops FEW ARRESTS MADE OF PEDESTRIANS WHO REFUSE TO MOVE ON Strike of Street Car Men As-' sumes Most Quiet Phase Since Walkout at 6 o’clock Saturday Afternoon Street cars* were running on every line In Atlanta Monday, schedules were nor mal. there was no disorder on the down town streets, only a few arrests were made by the police when pedestrians re fused to move on. and the strike of em ployes of the Georgia Railway and Tow er company had assumed its most quiet phase since they walked out at 6 o’clock i Saturday afternoon. From 4 o’clock Monday morning, tile I regular hour for starting street cars. j until 2 o’clock Monday afternoon, thei hour when this edition went to press, the only interruptions in car schedules were as follows: River cars and English avenue cars ran only as far as Chestnut street be -,-uise two poles had been sawed and some wires cut al Forrest Park, block ing the tracks. Marietta to Inmar Yard cars turned back at the stock yards. Cooper street cars, after run-| ning normal all the morning, were turn ed back after 12:20 o’clock at Georgia avenue, because rocks were thrown at the cars further out the line and sev-| eral windows smashed. All other lines in the city were being operated as they were before the strike, including all suburban lines, and of ficials of the company stated that they will be operated until the usual hour Monday night If proper police protection is furnished. That this protection will be furnished, is declared by Chief of Police Mayo who has stationed mounted naen and extra jnen in all parts of the city. They were instructed to disperse all crowds and keen all pedestrians moving. So far. they have obeyed these instructions to the letter and cases-of resistance and disorder have been rare. The strikers held a meeting during the noming at the Red Men’s wigwam, on Centra! avenue, whichd was attende by about six hundred men. of whom at least four hundred wore company caps and appeared to be ex-employes. De spite this showing, officials of the com jany still claim that less than one hun dred employes have gone out since the strike started. President P. S. Ark wright explains that some of the four hundred may be linemen, one hundred of whom struck several weeks ago. or employes who were discharged before the strike began. He declares that only about thirty employes struck voluntarily and that about thirty or forty more were intimidated into striking. ATTACKS MR. CANDLER William Pollard, speaking to the strik ,is at 1 o’clock Monday afternoon in the Red Men’s hall, attacked Asa • G. • andler. mayor-elect, and Forrest Adair, barging that it was through their in fluence that the rigid police provost was ■n forced He stated that Mr. Candler «id Mr. Adair, whom he characterised as the two heaviest stockholders in tne Georgia Railway and Power com ptny. had »i«ed their influence in mak .i-g the police act unjustly and beyond their rights. These two men dictated to Andy King, chairman of the police iioard, just what he "'»• to do." he charged. "The police can’t help it now. for they know that Mr. Candler is soon to be in power in Atlanta, and a lot of reople would lose their jobs,” he concluded. REFUSES PERMIT TO PARADE. Mayor Woodward denied the strikers l-ertnis&nn t** have a parade through the stieets between 12 and 1 o’clock Monday. J. A. Harper and .1. A. Wade, 'orming a committee of two. apeared >*efore the mayor with this request. He old them that he did not wish to ap pear antagonistic to Jthe strikers, but ' he did* not consider ti»e time opportune or anybody to have a parade. It the other side wanted a parade, he would deny them, too, said the mayor, and he therefore suggested that the strikers :-ostpone their demonstration. Commenting upon the mayor’s refus al to grant him permission to hold a s arade, W. M. Poilard declared that he would pay the mayor a visit Monday afternoon for the purpose of getting a parade pernii’. Mr. Pollard stated that he was will ing to have the parade surrounded by the police; that there would be no dis order or demoristraffon of any kind, and that he merely wanted to hold a parade m order to show the numerical strength of the men who had left the services of the Georgia Railway and Power com pany. Mr. Pollard claims that 85 per cent of the street car men have joined the strikers’ ranks, and declares that the number is lie-ng increased every hour.

Wellborn, Chairman of | Reserve Bank Board, Is sues Statement " While the cotton crop will be cur tailed this year, the higher price will make up for the loss, according to a statement of the federal reserve bank of Atlanta issued by M. B. Wellborn, chairman of the board. The statement ■ fallows: AGRICULTURAL. The first half of September showed very little material change in the bust- • ir.ees conditions in this district awaiting a more decisive crop condition as a basis for fall and winter business.. Reports from the southern part of the district state that while the work is probably I ten days late, picking is progressing nicely and cotton is beginning to come to market. In view of the high price [ prevailing, very little cotton is being held, and the indications are that the ■■ crop as picked will be ginned and I marketed, and that there will be no late jerop. While an early frost may do some damage to the crop, it is not likely to involve any great amount of cotton; and it is safe to assume that this year’s crop will be sold at a price nearer on a normal parity with the price of the manufactured product than any previous crop grown. As Indicated, in our previous reports, the cotton crop in our district will fall about 20 per cent short of the 1915 crop. However, it is not expetced thstt this crop shortage will affect the gen ! eral business of the district, in view of the higher prices received as an offset ■to the loss in crop production. At pres ent prices for cotton and seed, a-s com- : pared with those existing at this time I last year, the value of the cotton crop iin Alabama will be over >12,000,000 more than that of 1815, in spite of the short yield, figuring this year’s yield on . a basis of 775.000 bales. The value of ‘ the 1915 crop, including seed, was ap j proximately $64;000,000. The crop of t 1910 was made at a less cost and with more attention given to diversification. The products of diversified farming are in good demand at high prices, and this is creating a greater Interest in future live stock raisng. . INDUSTRIAL. The general activity continues in ail industrial lines with the possible ex ception of coal and lumber. While there is an increased demand for coal, both steam and domestic, and prices have ad vanced rapidly, the mines in the dis trict are not operating over half time, th* impediment being caused by a shortage 'of freight cars. There has been some Improvement in the lumber market within the past thirty days, so far as the volume of business is Con cerned. and values appear somewhat , firmer. This Is to some extent offset, J however, by the development of the . ! serious car shortage. Lumber being a commodity in seasonable demand to some ; . extent, if the buyers cannot get sup- j , plies of certain grades and kinds of | lumber in demand during a particular ! season, they naturally lose interest ,n i those particular items until the season rolls around again. And in view of the present car shortage, it may result in qgrutfn lumber being carried over the season.. SijJea show a healthy excess over produ«-tion and are in material ex cess of shipments. Production at this time is about 10 per cent below normal, and. in view of the car shortage. i< is i the opinion that production will be fur- | ther curtailed. In the Birmingham district, the last i thirty-day period has been a heavy one in the production of pig iron. The out pu¥ for the month of August was the largest recorded for any one month. I Prices remained about the same, and the j demand for steel products is still heavy, i In the wholesale and retail lines, salfs : are in excess of this time last year and , collections are reported good. Prevail ing prices are much higher than the ! same season last year, and dealers re- ■ port certain lines of merchandise scarce . and shipments from factories slow. With the high prices prevailing for i agricultural products, the general out-I '■ Took is very bright for a heavy fall and I • winter traar. NEW ORLEANS REPORT.

I WASHINGTON. Oct. 2.—Successful resumption of the Russian offensive in Galicia draws attention anew to the eastern war theater in which the opera tions have been of comparatively small importance since General Burssiloff's drive for Lemberg was held up. Berlin and Vienna concede that ad vantages have been gained by the Rus sians. who are attacking from both northeast and southeast of the Galician capital and have gained ground south of Brzezany in the latter district and along the Brody-Zlochoff road in the former. On the southeastern front in Macedo nia the British have maintained the ad vances scored in their attack Saturday near the Struma, beating off Bulgarian counter attacks and retaining the two villages captured along the aoad to Seres, according to London today. The forward movement along the Struma synchronizes with a Serbian suc cess on the westerly Macedonian front. SERBIANS MAKE GAIN. , The long continued struggle in the •Kaimakcalan district has resulted in the Serbians not only securing possession of the principal heights on the region southeast of Monastir but in an advance of more than a mile north of the main peak where the village of Kotchovie has been taken. Recent operations by the French along the Somme front appear to have been mostly in the nature of minor attacks. prol»ably preparatory to some larger movement In the Peronne region, while the British main effort has been direct ed to the thrust toward Bapaume along the road from Pozieres, where an ad vance on a front of more than a mile and a half was announced by London lAst night. Paris today reports a French success In a local operation east of Bouchavnes. north of Peronne, w*here trench and some prisoners were eapitrrufl. ~ ’ The Zeppelin destoyed during the air raid on England last night was brought down in flames, the British official an nouncement states. Os the nine other airships taking part, eight are declared to have wandered aimlessly over the eastern counties, the remaining one try ing to reach London but being prevent ; ed by the British defensive forces. Most of the bombs dropped, it is said, appear !ed to have done little damage. No cas ' ualties have been reported. Gains for Russians Admitted by Vienna (By Associated Press.) VIENNA, Oct. 2. —(Via London.) Gains for the Russians in their new drive toward Lemberg are admitted in a statement issued by the war office i'supplementing the official announce ; ment of yesterday. The statement fol- I Iowa: ■■Front df Archduke Charles Francis: Fighting in the Carpathians is slacken ing.

Tn the south eastern theater there is nothing to re port.” repairs to- facilitate ,the display ar, J handling of their wares. The demand for loans in the local money-market continues good: and the tone is heavy with rates unchanged. The port facilities at New -Orleans, now operating on a 100 per cent ef ficiency basis, are being piyt to test in order to handle the enormously increased volume of imports and exports. Ship ments in and out are from three to four times greater than this time last year. ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1916. I ON THE WAY! || wlMl r I—. 1 —.

FERTILIZER CONSUMPTION 111 GEORGIA DECREASES Commissioner of Agriculture Makes Annual Report on j Inspections J. D. Price, commissioner of agricult- . ure. Friday issued hie annual report on , the inspection and analysis of commer cial fertilizers for the present year. It shows that the department received ‘ 8.745 samples of fertilizer for anlysis i during the year and that the consump tion of fertilizer in Georgia this year, ' from January 1 to September 1. was I J cnsiderably Uss than the consumption during the same period in 1915.

Os tills number. 4,754 (analyses were made, which included , 1.055 "special analyses;" that is to say ' the latter number were samples taken Iby inspectors direct from the goods in the hands of the farmer, sent to this <lepartment for 'special analysis and the z original report was sent to the con-| I sumer and a duplicate sent to the man- ■ ufacturer. The farmers had a right to I ask for these "special” analysis, if he , so desired. The records show that dur- I ling the present jear these analyses were made at much less cost than in any pre- I vious year. "It has been my endeavor during the past three years to impress upon the farmers the necessity of diversification of crops and the injection of better busi ness methods into their farming qpera-I tions, all the more important on ac count of the approach of the boll weevil, many of the counties in the state being now Infest Al ylth them and there is little doubt but that during the next i I year a greater portion of the will I ibe covered by them, and the injury in- I cident thereto can hardly be overesti- i : mated. "Tn my visits to different sections of . the state I am impressed that many have heeded the warnings given them, from the fact that there is evidence that , more attention has been given to the raising of cattle, hogs and other stock, 1 and there is no doubt in my mind but that there is more feed stuffs now oft i hand in the state than in many years past, if not in the history of the state , “I regret to sav that on account of the continuance of the European war the fertilizer conditions are no better than they were during the past season. “The crop conditions throughout the | state are not as good as could be de sired, still there are sonic sections of the state where the crops are not far from normal, but the snort cotton crop i is greatly supplemented bv the prices ’.eing obtained for same.

REPORT OF CHOP Advance in New York Market . One of Most'Sensational in History i, j NEW YORK. Oct. 2. —One of the most sensational advances in the history of the cotton market attended me publl i cat ion of the two government reports ; here today Since the beginning of i this season there have been many pe- ' I riods of activity and excitement, but ] none of them have approached today's • movement either with reference to the I 'extent of fluctuations or ic volume of' I trading. j The demand was stimulated oy the i condition figures of 56.3. or the lowest !on record, indicating a crop of only 111,637.000 bales. Within a few min utes after these figures were issued ■January contracts sold at 17.03 or ?4.60 la bale above the closing price last I week. The census report, showing 4,062,931 l>ales ginned prior to'September 25. es tablished a new high record, but the |trade had been looking for even larger ' fgures. Big Advance Is Scored In New Orleans Market NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 2.—An advance in cotton of 90 to 92 points, or >4.50 a bale, over Satur«Nay's close, resulted in the early trading on this market today, on an almost insatiable demand ; stimulated by the bullish showing of I the government’s last condition figures for the season and ginning returns. 1 which, while the heaviest on record, yet • were considerably under general expec tations. Futures made new high levels I for the season and all months reached i the highest quotations ever recorded in the contract market at this time of | year. There was a rise of 50 points around ■ I the opening after the ginning returns 'of 4.i>62,991 bales were announced, but' I the big buying followed the condition figures of 56.3 per cent of the normal, the lowest percentage ever given the i crop oh September |25. , After traders ti:-.d digested this report and the fore cast of a total yield of 11,637.000 bales, , ! the ring was swamped with buying or ! ders and prices shot upward rapidly. At I I 1f.86 for the March option, leading bull I ; interests commenced taking profits heav ■ily an 1 the advance was checked. The ii'iarket nt noon was 20 joints, or $1 a| bale, off from the top. Not since the Civil war has spot cot-' I ton brought as high a price in Atlanta at this season of the year as it brought ) , here Monday. The market closed at ; 16.45 cents which was an advance of ; 50 points since the closing of Saturday 1 when the price was 15.95. The big advance in the Atlanta market was due to the sensational advance in the New York*and New Orleans future I markets which resulted from the bullish ginners’ report and the extreme low crop condition ’•eport, both of which i W ere issued Monday morning by the ' government. The crop condition report of 56.3 was the lowest on record for I this time of the year. a great help to them In raising these crops. "As my term of offi e as commissioner i of agriculture expires on July 1, 11)17, I have the satisfaction to know that it has been my every endeavor to work for the masses of the people of Georgia ! and at as little expense to the state as possible, and I wish to thank those who have been so friendly to me in this • administration and have given me their ; loyal support in the management of !

SHERIFF M COUNTY BID PROMISE TO SID THE GIH POLICE Over One Hundred Leading Citizens Meet at Chamber of Commerce and Discuss- i Strike Over one hundred leading Atlanta mer- ‘ chants and other citizens, meeting at the Atlanta chamber of commerce at 11:30- o'clock Monday morning, adopted t eso lutions appointing themselves a com mittee on' law and order to co-operato - with the police in seeing that no out ! breaks occurred anywhere in the city ■; while the strike of street car men is in iprogress. Asa G. Candler was named as presi-* dent o fthe committee, and apopintes an executive committee of sevi en men to keep in toucn with the sit uation and. if necessary, to swear in the entire membership of the committee aa deputies to assist the police depart ment. _. j The meeting was addressed by Victor H. Kriegstiaber. president of the cham ber of commerce; Asa G. Candler, Henry S. Johnson, president of the Chamberlin-* Johnson-Du Bose company; F. J. Faxon, president of the Davison-Paxon-Stoken, company, and P. 8. Arkwright, president of the Georgia Railway and Power com-, pany. SITUATION SERIOUS. In opening the nlfceting Mr. Krieg . shaber said that the city of Atlanta.' was threatened with a serious situation, which must be met immediately. Th« ; city’s better citizens have the right tcu demand law and order, he declared, anffi i this meeting was called for the purposqj i of insisting on law and order. He introduced Mr. Candler, who tol<4 ! of the meeting of the police commisslOTU Suaday, and said that he believed tk< ' police will do their part. Mr. Candler quoted President Ark wright as stating that 85 per cent off the company’s employes were anxioun, to work. He said that have clearly shown the sentiment ou the operatives is with the compamr. Mr.‘‘ Candler said that two city ordinances.' were woefully violated Saturday night—« one providing that no crowd shall at any one point as a riot incentive; the other against profanity. "The situation must be met and itj must be met now!" declared Mr- Candler., “for it will expand if something Is not' done. And the remedy is action, de* elded and’dignified, by this meeting.” NOT TOWN OF FOREIGNERS. . Unless such action is taken, he de-., clared, the city’s business will be se riously hurt. He said it was up to them; to show visitors to the city and, out-; siders that this is not a town of for-p eigners who will countenance any klndi of disorder, but a town vastly differ-! ent, a town of citizens that will demand! peace and order. Mr. Candler urged) that everybody “get on the firing llne”| to support the police in their efforts to maintain law and order. Henry 8. Johnson was cheered when: Ihe declared that “no foreigner has the} . right to come .down here and stir I up among our own people.” “I would like to make a suggestions iin a certain direction.” continued Mr J 'Johnson, "but I’m afraid to. because at] times I’m inclined to be a little rad-j leal.” One or two men shouted. "Make it, Mr., Johnson: we're for you!” ' “I certainly feel that something ojaghni jp be done.” he went on, "in that par-j 1 ticular direction. In Atlanta we have; i over a thousand men clamoring for the>] right to make their daily bread. Weu must stop any effort to interfere wlthj these men.” At this point President Arkwright en-i tered the meeting. He was given an, ovation as lie arose to speak. After thanking his hearers for the* sentiments they had expressed, ho sa!d|. that as far as he could see, the polices! are doing the best they can. He sald3 that the cars were runing on schedule, Mnd will continue to do so. He said h«( ' has heard of only a few instances off disorder Monday—trolleys and wires ton the River line and groups of men] in Bellwood hissing the employes of th®; company. So far things are quiet, haj ■ said, but he had heard threats of ae<j t tion Monday night. He declared that; the. men are satisfied with th£ situation; I and have no complaints. Referring to Organizer Pollard, Mr* Arkwright charged that "this man came* down here and failed to organize -an electrical workers’ union, so he lz an- . gnneering this strike simpfly for re- I venge." ; / 1 At the close of the meeting the exec ■ utive committee, composed of Asa G» l Candler, chainman; Mell R.
