STRIKING CLERKS
DEFEND ACTION
Say Downs is Attempt
ing to Disrupt
Union
Striking clerks of the Central of;
Georgia Railway here today authoriz
ed a statement to the public, setting:
forth their side of the controversy
with the railroad company. In this
statement the clerks allege that Gen-;
eral Manager Downs of the
is “striking at the very heart” of
their brotherhood, with the idea of
completely disrupting it, and that be- i
cause of the action of Downs in is- '
suing an ultimatum to individual
clerks requirin'- them to return to!
their jobs, closed every avenue I
through which a conference might be
held, in which proper recognition’
would be given them and negotiations,
carried on. The clerks further assert!
in their statement that their action’
was taken “in protest against the vio-;
lation of the Esch-Cummins act by |
the officials of the Central of Georgia
Railway Company,’’ and that they
have full confidence in the ability of;
their own officers to handle their in-I
teiests in this controversy.
The Statement.
The statement, which is a lengthy:
one sets forth the intentions of the;
strikers in detail as follows:
“The following are the reasons for I
the officers of the Brotherhood of,
Railway Clerks not having partici- \
pared in the General Chairmens’ Con
ference held in the office of Superin
tendent Baldwin, Macon, Ga., May
2hth, 1920, together with a state
ment of facts which we trust will be I
sufficient to set right any wrong im- 1
pression that might have been made!
through the press upon our good citi-’
zens who have so strongly confided in ;
us and have been so patient with us
since our trouble began: ;
T. The general chairmen consti
tuting this conference reviewed the
files of the officers of the Brother
hood of Railway Clerks immediately
after the clerks left their jobs on
May 18th, and advised the officers of
th? Brotherhood of Railway Clerks
that their findings were entirely sat
isfactory as to the legality of our ac
tion, and that they had been author
izde by the heads of their respective
organizations to tender their support.
The possession of these facts, on the
basis of which they received their
authority to support us, made any
further investigation unnecessary and
the holding of such a conference a
violation of the principles and tradi
tions of organized crafthood.
Downs Ignored Officers.
“2. General Manager Downs issued!
his ultimatum for the return of the
clerks directly to the individual clerks
and not to their officers, thus ignor
ing such officers and closing every
avenue through which a conference
might be held with them in which.
proper recognition would be given;
th m and negotiations carried on. We
cannot accept this action of the gen-!
era] manager in any other light than
striking right at the very heart of our
brotherhood, and a direct attempt
to completely disrupt it, and we sub
mit to the public that in the fact
of this action our officers could not
have become parties to this confer
ence or any similar conference, with
out having surrendered the sovereign
ty of their organization and the honor!
and dignit” of its constituency.

consented for our general chairman,!
Mr. Thomas, to participate in the con-J
ference it was his understanding the
general chairmeri were to take their
findings stated in the first paragraph
of this notice before Mr. Downs, and
bring whatever force necessary to
bear on him to effect a settlement
with us. But, when he learned that
the attitude of the general chairmen
was so very unfavorable to the Broth
erhood of Railway Clerks and their
officers in charge, he immediately
withdrew Mr. Thomas from the con
ference.
Action In Protest.
“4. We reiterate that we know ex
actly what we are doing, as our ac
tion was taken in protest against the
violation of the Esch-Cummins acts,
by the officials of the Central of
Georgia Railway Company, and, while
we admit that no man is entirely im
mune from mistakes, we have abso
lute confidence in the capacity of
our officers to handle our affairs, and
we believe fully in their sincerity
Our vice grand president advises that
any statements issued by Mr. Downs,
or other officials of the railway com
pany, to the effect that he, in any
way, or at any time, has “admitted’’
that our action is illegal, is unquali
fiedly FALSE, and in line with the
many other misleading statements be
ing given out by them which distort
facts and only operate to widen the
breach and delay a just settlement of
this controversy, all cf which tends
to increase the burden upon the busi
ness public of our community and the
entire Southeastern section of our
country.

Heart Trouble Fatal to
Notable Lawyer and
Banker
SAX ANNAH, June 7—William W.
Osborne, prominent lawyer and for
many years political leader of this
section, known over the state and
the entire South as an attorney of
ability, died Sunday morning at 10
o’clock. He had been affected with
heart trouble for some time, but only
for several hours prior to his death
was it thought that the end was near.
Mr. Osborne is survived by his!
wife, who was Miss Louette Dale
two daughters, Mrs. Charles Houston,
of Indianapolis ,and Mrs. Guy Stev
ens, of New York, and four brothers,
Dr. Elton Osborne, Dr. H. D. Os
borne and Howard Osborne, all of I
Savannah, and J. D. Osborne, of At-1
lanta.
Mr. Osborne was in his fifty-third I
year. He was born at Graniteville,
S. C., October 19, 1867, but lived!
here since boyhood. He was a stu
dent at Mercer and later was gradu- ■
ated from the state university. He'
began law in the office of Denmark!
& Adams and was later a member ,
of the firm of Pope, Barrow & W. W.
Osborne. For some years he has been !
senior member of the firm of Os-,
borne & Lawrence.
In 1906 he organized the Exchange!
Bank and was president of the insti-i

president of the Georgia Bar Asso-|
ciation and was recognized in many
states as a brilliant advocate. He!
was solicitor general of the eastern
circuit for four terms, 1898 to 1908 J
As a member of his firm, of which
Alexander A. Lawrence was the oth
er member, he was one of general
counsel for the Savannah Electric
Company and has reoresented many
other clients, whose interests de
manded special legal ability. He was
active in politics for a number of
years, and, while of late he had per
sonally sought no office, he was un
usually agrgessive in the advocacy
of his views on matters of local,
state and national moment.
He represented Chatham in the leg
islature for two years and this dis
trict in the state senate for two
years. In the house he was chair
man of the committee on immigra

An inexperienced mother is offer
at a loss to know whether her bab;

may not understand the serious na
ture of certain conditions. The bes
indications of a perfectly health;
baby are a steady gain in weight an<
quiet, peaceful sleep.- If baby show
fretfulness, sleeplessness, gas or sou
stomach, or is inclined to constipa
tion, it should have attention.
Most of the baby’s troubles conn
from improper assimilation of food
resulting in indigestion. This lead
to faulty elimination, and of course
baby doesn’t develop properly. Whei
these symptoms occur, a good bab;
laxative will generally suffice, bu
great care should be exercised not ti
give baby strong, irritating drug

One of the best laxatives for babie
is “Baby Ease,” a perfected prepara

■Mr 1
It does not seem to make any dif
ference who takes Plank’s Blood Med
icine the result is the same if taken
either by young or old. Here is a case
of a veteran of the Grand Army of
the Republic, a man who is over 75
years of age, being completely re
lieved of a long time attack of Bron
chitis which as anyone can tell you
who has had it, there is hardly any
thing which is more nerve-racking
or which will pull you down in health
quicker. For over two years Mr. I. D.
Morgan, a visitor here and who re
sides in St. Loius, suffered as few
men have; it was particularly hard
with Mr. Morgan on account of his
years and consequently harder to re
a lieve. He says that he came to this
V city on March 12th, this year, after
suffering intensely at his home, with
! the hope that Florida’s balmy climate
' and a life out doors would help him;
, but instead of getting better he con
\ tinued to grow worse and just
s coughed night and day almost with
‘ out stopping, until he was so run
down and impoverished that he de
spaired of ever getting well or even
e better. One day while sitting in Hem
ming Park he read in an ad how a
g prominent local man had been so
, much helped and although he had
” tried many so-called “cures’’ with
y out result he was so impressed with
t the statements made that he decided
0 to once more see if there could be
s any help for him. The first bottle of
e Plank’s Blood Medicine eased his
. cough and the second bottle gave so
much relief that he began to feel
s hopeful and the third bottle practi
,- cally cleared up. this two year old
•- Bronchial cough. Mr. Morgan was so
run down that he could hardly breathe
- nerves were all gone and life was
d anything but a pleasant dream
f now, thanks to Plank’s Blood
v cine, he is getting around more like
k a young man than one of 75 years
and expects to leave for his home at
v 1541 Welston Place, St. Louis, Mis
souri, in a short time and intends al
so to surprise those who thought he
would never return alive. Mr. Morgan
has gained substantially in weight,
also. For many years he was Chief
of Police in Wellston, East St. Louis,
and has been a member of Ransom
Post, G. A. R., since the days he
[. marched with Generals Thomas and
Sherman. He also followed the work
“ of engineering and has been connect
ed with many public improvements
in his native state. Plank’s Blood
Medicine can be secured at Nathan
Murray Drug Co., and all good drug
stores. Price $1.20.
When a Woman is Nervous—Worrieb
Most women neglect their health,

Any woman will find that neglect
does not pay. A little more atten

finds that Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre
