" Help City Defra Upon request of Pregldent 8. V. Sanford and Dean Paul Chapman ‘the county commissioners yester day agreed to join the city_on a fifty-fifty basis toward operation of the cannery to be built on the campus of the university. Dr. Sanford said that the appro priation will be for a period ot abouy six monthsg and asked for $75.00 per month, the same amount the city has agreed to provide. This money will be used in defraying the expenses of light, water and telephone service, The cannery, the university offi cials said, will employ about 164 persons, with a possible increase f twentw-five in the personnel of the abattoir. The cannery will be housed in a brick building near the cavalry barn on the agricultural college sampus, and work will be started probably this week toward enlarg ing the building and outfitting the plant, Government meat will be canned for distribution among the needy next winter. 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,” [ SPEAKS TO 15000 !

The financial dilemma was re emphasized yesterday by the an nouncement that registered marks wouid be barred to foreigners liv ing in Germany, Hitherto foreign diplomats, jour nalists and business men " have bought registereq marks at rates varying from 38.80 to 4.05 marks to the dollar. Now they will have to buy ordinary wmarks, beginning October 1, at the dear rate of ap 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 methods in Austria, where a threat of interventior looms. Hcpes are pinned on Franz Von Papen as special envoy to Vienna bug observers were doubtful he would be able to “keep the door open” for naziem, What to do with some 490,000 Austrian legionnaires In camps around Munich, close to the border, is a growing problem. They are expressing discontent at Hitler's scotching of their long-expectea march into Austria, One of Von Papen's first mis sions is expected to be the obtain ing of amnesty to permit these men to return. ” CORRECTION The Banner-ilerald wishes to correct an error in a headline in ‘Tuesday’s paper.

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. ... .

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.
