faeturers of tlrorgia. is the «lr» lara-
lion of IHooper Alexander of De-
Kail*. former representative from that
county and former randidate tor gov
ernor.
Mr. Alexander has always been a
strong supporter **f ant-«*hild labor
legislation. He says he is authorized
by the legislative* committee of tile
cotton milling interests of G«*org^ to
state that they will support an t ncom
plicated law to pu* an end to the la
!»or of young cl.ildren in the cotton
factories and mercantile establish
tnents of the state. The* hill has been
drawn ami t is understood it will
seek to prohibit the la Ivor of children
under fourteen years of age in mills
and factories.
Opposition to tf'iis legislation no
longer comes from the cotton mill
interests Mr. Alexander asserts, but
from mercantile establishments in the
cities. If it hail not been for oppo
sition of tiiis sort, he said, a law
along this line would have passed the
last legislature. An effort will again
tie made to have a compulsory educa
tion law enacted along with the new
rthild labor measure.

FOUR LITTLE ATLANTA STORIES
(By F.C. G.1
(Special to the Banner !
Atlanta. May BL- While Mayor
Jim Woodward says he is making no
fight on Thief of Police James L.
Beavers except to prevent the chief’s
naming a certain nolire sergeant to
whom be objects, there are indica
tions that the mayor is trying to get
in an entering wedge against the
chief’s control of his department.
At the last meeting of the Atlanta
police commission, when Thief Reav
ers sought to appoint the strgeant.
two of the members who had been
supporting him. went over to Mayor
AVoodward’s side and the commission
now stands tied. 6 to 6. as to whether
The chief shall have liis way or he
subject to the dictation of the com-
ip its ion.
Tharles Tnrlos Mason refuses to
step in ami attempt to break the tie.
He will vote, he says, merely as nil
individual member of the commission
and will not seek to influence the
other members.
The situation is of special interest
because of Atlanta’s recent anti-vice
crusade organized and conducted by
the chief of police. There are some
who profess’ to believe that should
the chief’s power he broken through
the influence now at work, it would
mean a gradual relaxation and let
ting down of the bars. This. Thief
Rt avers has promised, shall not take
place so long as he has power to
prevent it.
The split is the most serious that
has occurred under the present
regime, and a special meeting of the
commission w ill be t ailed for one day
next week to see if some settlemen
cannot he arrived at.

The state railroad commission is

m n unique in railroad history. Th**
pioprietor of a little r*staurant in the
Hag * of Bowersville. on the FJber

wants the railroad commission to

course of which he says:

of teh Association that this feature
alone would tend to eliminate all bru
taiity from the* penitentiary, in th-
natter of the treatment of prisoners.
Another set of reformers that is
1 xceedinglv busy just now. is com
posed largely of women who are seek
ing to have the state establish ;iu in
stitution of its own for the care of
wayward girls. This movement has
grown out of the agitation for better
morals in Atlanta and other cities of
the state. A bill has already been
prepared and will be introduced in
H e legislature as soon as it meets
providing for the establishment of
such an institution to which young
girls may lx* sent under certain cir
cumstances when corr-ctlve methods
are needed.
Such an institution was establish
ed for Fulton county three or fou”
years ago. and its reports indicate
that it has done a splendid work. The
county lias contributed regularly to
its maintenance. % and at the meeting
of the county commissioners this
week, they decided to take it over
permanently as a county institution,
upporting it from county funds.
Legislators are already beginning
to got letters and circulars from
lb si* ami other reform organizations,
grid there is little doubt that their
mail will be piled with these appeals
right up to th * meting of the general
assembly and then some.

they are exce-dingly active around
legislative assemblies, and there is
i.ot a busier little* lobby ever gotten
together than that which represents
t'i- Georgia women who want to vote.
Georgia politicians are not blinding
their eyes to the fact that womans

i::g to culminate in accomplishment;

Prohibition successes of the pas
have emboldened the prohibitionists
to g«> to almost any extent. They had
a setback last year when Governor
Rrown vetoed the Tipping hill, hut
they took renewed courage from the*
fact t.iat they had with ti.iem almost
two thirds of both houses of the leg
islature.
They are coming hack at it again
this year. The new hill has already
been drawn. It is reported it is in
t; e bands of the man who is going to
introduce* it. but 'his name has not
yet been disclosed. I; is also said
the men's tin* is. in must respects, ex
actly like the T'ppins bill which was
vetoed last year. The attitude of the
present legislature as to prohibition
is yet to be determined. The* prohibi
tionists are claiming a good workng
major:v. and they count on getting
tihe bill to Governor Slaton. It is also
said they are counting on ‘his signa
ture. Politicians, on the other hand,
who incline to the local option side
of the question, have already figured
out two or three slips in these calcu
lations.
The trutth is nobody really knows
Just ‘how the new legislature -stands
as to prohibition, and there isn’t
much likelihood that it will he known
until the* test has been made.
Then there is tJhe "committee on

little cudgel for the slaughtering of
unwelcome legislation. It came pret
ty near killing tthe Tippins hill last
year; but the strength of the prohi
bitionists in the house and the fact
