Rucker Asserts Talmadge
Has Forgotten. Common
Man in Dictatorial Move
State Senator Lamar C. Rucker
of Athens, and Representative
Carlisle Cobb of Clarke county to
day were aiding the statewide
move among legislators to end the
chaog brought about by Governor
Talmadge's insistence on operating
the state without an appropria
tions act in violation of the Geor
gia Constitution.
Senator Rucker, who attended u
meeting of state senators in At
lanta yesterday to discuss the si
tuation, declareg the governor “has
conceived the idea that he is above
the common man.” -
Representative Cobb declares “1
cannot understand the governor's
recent doings unlesg he has the
insane dream of transrorming three
billion Georgians into a pitiful, sub
servient, cowardly mass — when
the people grow tired of military
usurpation, as they are sure to do,
they can easily stop it.”
: Rucker Statement
Senator Rucker's statement in
full follows:
“The present situation in Georgia
has been brought about by the im
maturity of our governor,
Since his victory at the polls
over practically no opposition, he
has conceived the idea that he is
above the common run of man.
As long as he was fooling with fire
crackers, like the Yankee million
aires, most of us hoped he was
finding the game both profitable
and amusing.
“But when he bheginsg to fool with
the dynamite of the Iliberties of
the people of Georgia, it is time
to exercise a watchful care over
him. > 3 : ;
“The constitution of the state of
Georgia imposes this duty of care
upon the legislature.
“The constitution of the state of
Georgia specifically provides:
“Public money, how drawn? No
money shali be drawn from the
wreasury except by appropriation
made by law—""
“No lawyer is needed to interpret
this language. Any fool, short of
a lunatic, can understand these
pialn words. .
“The governor has absolutely no
power to draw one cent from the
treasury except upon appropria
tion.
“His power expressly limited by
the law which says: ‘lt shall be
the duty of the governor to see
that the lawg are executed. For
this purpose he shall have power,
as commander-in-chief, to call out
the military, whenever, in his dis
cretion, the due enforcement of the
process of the courts shall be su
resisted and set at defiance as to
require such inter-position,”
“He has taken an oath to up
hold and support the conetitution
of Georgia,
“The people of Georgia have de
clared in their constitution as fol
lows: T
“The people of this gtate have the
inherent, sole and exclusive right
of regulating .their internal govern
ment and the police thereof, and of
altering and abolishing their con
stitution whenever it may be nec
essary to their safety and happi
ness.”
“And further, ‘The enumeration
of rights herein contained as a part
of this constitution shall not be
construed to deny to the people
any inherent rights which they may
have heretofore enjoyed.
“The militdry arm of the state
can not be used, except in case of
fnsurrection and aid of the due
process of the court. However,
lawlessness should not be met witn
lawlessness and if the military
force interfereg or attempts to in
terfere with the meeting of the
general assembly, the proper thing
to do is to adjourn to some other
place in the city of Atlanta, which
can be readily found.
“The time has not yet come whew
innocent blood should be shed.

munity have a masg meeting so as

ATLANTA. —(P)— Ten persons
were arrested early today as
fighting broke ' out between pick
ets and workers in front of the
American Hat Mawnufacturing com

Clothes were stcipped off one
girl, identified by other workers
as Ellen Fox, .when she tried to
enter the plant.
An attempted attack on one o’
the plant managers, L. P. Jouser
jr., brought renewed scuffling in
front of the shop. This was
quickly broken up by a detail of
12 nolicemen.
The trouble grew out of a g;trike
last April. . At the terminatfon of
that dispute, the company agreed
to reemploy strikers as increasing
business justified, union officials
said.
Union leaders lately have as
serted the -company’s business

workers and 75 non-union em
ployees were hired at wages rang
ing from- $3.70 to $10.75 a week.
Appearance of police thinned the
crowds and workers were allowed
to enter the plant two hours after
the fight started.
Pickets tore off Miss Fox’ dress
and coat, which were left in the
street as the fighting went on,
Another coat was hastily thrown
about the vietim.
