TALMADGE'S ATTACK
ON COHEN, HOWARD
1S CONTINUED TODAY
(Continued rrom page one.)
gly on January 27, 1934,
“Jake Cohen always ran John
Holder's campaigns in The Atlanta
fournal, and is now trying to turn
the highway department back to
the old crowd.”
Defends Actlon
Defending his refusal to order a
minimum wage scale of forty cents
an hour for highway workers in
Georgia, Governor Talmadge de
clared that seventy-five per cent
of organized labor is going to vote
1o return him to the governor’'s
chair.
Replying to a -statement yester
day by J. Sid Tiller, president of
the Ceorgia Federation of Labor,
who said that ‘the decision must
be made whether we follow the
governor backward and downward,
or the president inward and up
ward,” Governor Talmadge declar
ed that “J. Sid Tiller and a few
others of ‘his kind, want to dictate
to the government of Georgia to
pay the Negro the NRA wage scale
of forty cents per hour.”
“J. Sid Tilley knows that a lot
of this work is done in the coun
try,” the governor continued, “and
that white women will be picking
cotton right beside the road and
see the Negro drawing that wage
scale. X X X <
“He knows it would not be right,
nor fair, for me to have the state
tax money spent at a higher wage
scale than the local community
could afford to pay for private in
dustry. If he doesn't know it,
every member of organized labor
knows it, and everyone else.
Will Get Votes
“Seventy-five per cent of organ
ized labor is going o vote for Eu
gene Talmadge in this race for
governor. They are not going to
be fooled by any self-appointed
man telling them how to vote.
“Organized labor knows what
occurred ay Augusta, Georgia, last
fall, They remember that when
there was a strike at the textile
mills, I was petitioned to call out
the troops.
“They also remember that Sena
tor Lester, their representatives,
called me up, one night at .1330,
and asked me to call Steve Nance
here in Atlanta, and ascertain the
fact tifat it was not necessary to
call out the troops.
“No troops were called out at
Augusta, and Senator Lester, when
talking to me over the phone, was
surrounded by organized labor, an@
they all sent tHeir thanks for my
action in the matter.
Labor Grateful
“The great ranks of organized
labor are grateful, and appreciate
the fact that I accepted their pe
tition to investigate and suspend
the five Public Service commis-
sioners.
“The great ranks of organized
lgbor know my stand on this mat
ter was the one and only thing
that caused the opposition to me in
the present campaign.
“Organized labor is {nterested in
the wage scale of its own union
men, they don’'t want any self
appointed spokesman from their
ranks trying to ran the state gov
ernment and contaminate officials.
“They know that' this is com
munism of the worst form, and is
not going to be tolerated in Geor
gla'"
The governor ended with a plea
for a big vote on September 12.
“Let's have the vote on the 12th
of September to echo from Maine
to California, that every county in
Georgia approves of a man ré
membering, fighting for, and carry
ing out his platform after he is
elected,”

This, economists say, is bound to

factories going is imminent.
The financial dilemma was re
emphasized yesterday by the an

Hitherto foreign diplomats, jour
nalists and business men " have

varying from 38.80 to 4.05 marks

proximately 2.50 to the dollar.
The Reichsbank 'said the move
was necessary because of “the ex
tremely difficult foreign exchange
situation.”
Hitler must move cautiously in
foreign relations, many foreign
powers eye with suspicion nazl

ROWLAND STENHOUSE,
* 1399 Lanier Place, N. E., Atlanta.
“We began to cash in on the new low electric rates from the
start. I gave my wife a vacuum cleaner for an anniversary
present in December. . . . . We have operated the cleaner, in
addition to appliances w&already had, with savings of three
dollars on our electric bills for the first six months. . ...
We invested the three dollars (down payment) in an electric
refrigerator. On the basis of two monthe’ operation of the
refrigerator, we are saving money by luvu.t‘guit. and with
these savings we propose to purchase aw. ng machine
using the saving in laundry bills to pay for the machine and
its operation.”
MISS'S. GAILLARD,
* Box 51, Dahlonega.
“Since the mew low eleetric rates have been in force, I
have been able to install electric lights in my cottage. Be
fore this, I used the old-fashioned kerosene lamps, which
were continually getting out of order . ... and onr account
of their dim lght causing me much eye strain. At night
I had to retire early and discard reading and social activi
ties on account of poor light. Now each evening, I sit afiv my
drop lamp with its soft mellow light .., , . and read and
write all I want to.” :
MRS. J. B. NEWMAN,
* MeDenough, Ga.
“For forty years I have kept house in an old Colonial home.
During that time I have longed for the days when slaves
would come up from the quarters to do the work for the white
folks. Truly, this summer I have had these slaves ~ ....
efficient, immaculate, silent-working servants from the quar
ters of the Georgia Power Company. Due to the new low
rates, I have been able to put to work various electrical ap
pliances I could not afford in the past. ... . My electrie
stove in its clean, silent manner cooks my food, and my radio
hums ‘Lazy Bones’,”
W. 0. BOLTON,
* 1573 South Lumpkin St., Athens,
“We purchased an electric refrigerator . . « « . and we
have added another fan during the hot swmmer months.
Still our electric bills are only a few cents more than when
we were buying ice and doing with one less fan. I feel that
at a very conservative figure we are saving at least §55.00
per month ecompared with our bills and appliances of a
year ago.”’
MRS. J. P. TURNER,
* 912 Rose Circle, S. W., Atlanta,
“I was always afraid to rent an apartment without my lights
being included, for I thought my electric bill would run se
high, it would be impossible for me to pay it and my other
hills. But we undertook the responsibility a month ago and
I received my first bill and te my surprise it was only a dollsr.
