Well Known Labor Leader

CHARGE ANSWERED
Both Governor and Camp
Deny Charges; Declare

ATLANTA —(#)— A charge by
Francis J. Gorman, vice-president
of the United Textile Workers,
that Governor Eugene Talmadge is
using national ‘guardsmen to com
vel workers to accept wage cuts
and increased hours brought the
comment from the governor that,
“Georgia guardsmen don't forece
anyone to work.”
.Jln Washington, Gorman said,
reporis to our union headquarters
show that statée (Georgia), under
Governor Talmadge, to be the
worst .spot in the union” He
voiced a demand that the war de.

ernment equipment used by the
Georgia troops adding that “if the
troops are left in their camp,
bhereft of their guns and without
their uniforms, perhaps the gov
ernor will let them go home ana

zens,”
For Protection
Talmadge explained the {troop:

tile strikes not tc make anyone
work but to protect those who
wanted to against violence and in
timidation.
Gorman, in his statement, said
his information was that “the
state army is mobilized at Fort Ms-
Pherson under command of Adju
tant General Lindley Camp.
“We ahve reports of wage cuts,”
he continued. “Piedmont mills,
Atlanta, under the goverhor's guns,
have maised hours to H4-—the pre
code standard—and have given na
compensating wage raise. Atlan
tic Cotton Mills, Macon, also under
the governor’s guns, have raised
hours to 55 and have had the un
uttepable and indescribable inbu

Bouisson had lasted in office only

together ministers for a cabinet

As soon as Laval had left the

mately 425 seniors and gtraduate
students receive degrees, will be
divided into two terms. :
The first trem, it is announced,
is especially adapted .to needs of
teachers who are employed the
nine month school years. At the
University they will have access
to the elementary and high school
labbratory units ard will find all
certification required courses of
fered. !
Many courses will also be avail
able for the second term, Somcl
teachers working for degrees will
probably find it to their advan

the University in Athens. A num?
ber of regular University under
graduates are exepected back on
