Senate Authorizes Investigation
OF ‘lnsidious’ Force That Has
Harrasscd Legislature
ATLANTA, July 14—The appoint
m ent of a committee of eight mem
ber; three from the senate and five
from the house, was authorized by
the senate Thursday to investigate
charges made in a resolution intro
duced by Senators Wohlwcnder,
Thomas and Lassiter that an ’ in- ,
sidious lobby has harassed I
,i the legislature and persistently ,
withheld iron! the P«°P le
•■x year- the right ta vote
on the 'e nding capital removal bill.”
Tnc i-.'olution went immediately to I
the house for action. ......
Senator La. iter declared that the
rubjcct of the capital removal has
had an effect on every important
measure introduced in the legislature
during the past five years. He claim
?d that a gnup of lobbyists had
been draining the Macon people of :
money, thereby forcing the people of I
Atlanta to provide funds to com- 1
bat the activity of the removal I
sere . that none of the people en- j
gaged in that activity want the cap- j
ital removal bill to its pas- .
sage.
Senator Wohlwcnder in speaking'!
for the resolution said that his home
county 1 Muscogee) would unejues- .
t onably vote to retain the capital in ■
the city of Atlanta, but that was not j
the question, that the capital belongs
to the people and they 7 have a right )
to vote on the proposition. In- dis* !
cussing the alleged lobby for and 1
against the bill, Mr. Wohlwcnder as- I
scrjwl? that not all of the persons
tharhad approached him from both
sides of the question were patriots.
Tn replying to a question asked bv
Senator Campbell, he said that an in
vestigation by the general assembly
would get at things and clarify the
atmosphere.

CHICAGO, July 14—A strike call
to 8,000 stationary firemen, engi- *
neers and oilers, employed on the
railroads of the country has been is
sued, Timothy Healy, international
president, announced today. The
/ ike is effective at 8 o’clock on the
morning of July 17.
The call was made in compliance
j with the recent referendum which
i favored a walkout, Healy said,
.uembers of the organization on sev
eral roads already have joined in a
sympathetic walkout with the shop
men, Healy tie.id.
Railway union leaders today said
they expected to hold the mainten
ance of way laborers in check and
prevent a general walkout in whicil
400,000 shop and truck laborers
threaten to join the striking shop
' men.
Disturbances continue to be re
ported. Attorney General Daugh
erty has been asxed to furnish 1,400
deputy marshals for strike duty
in Northern Ohio.
'1 he railway shopmen’s strike will
i not be called off, and the men will
not be ordered back to work, “up- 8
til justice has been secured,” B. M."
Je-.vell, head of the railway erapl >yc’s’
department of tire American Federa
tion of Labor, said last night in a
statement replying to the rail exeev
'tive ultimatum of Wednesday.
I The rail executives suggested that
the strike be called off and men ~
return to work, after, which differ
ences might be taken up before the
United States Railroad Labor Board.
Mr. Jewell, in last night’s state
ment, intimated that the reason the
executives refused Io meta .shop
crafts officer:; in an effort to med:- 3
ate the strike ak had been suggest- ;
ed, was that the railways hope to 3
destroy the employers’ organizations.
If such is the case, the statement |
said, the railroads are “due to <e
ceive a sudden awakening, and the
American public should charge them
with responsibility.

HARRIS SCORES CALDER
FOR LYNCHING REPORTS
j WASHINGTON, July 14.—(8y
Associated Press)—Reading into the
record a newspaper attack on the J
state of Georgia for recent lynch- J
lings in Wayne county, Senator Calti- I
1 er, of New Y’ork, provoked a spirited
' debate in the senate Thursday in a
1 which several southern senators par
! ticipated, including Senator Harris,
of Georgia.
The Georgia senator charged
Senator Calder with attempting tu 'J
exaggerate the true conditions by ;
inserting the story i-n the record, j
declaring that more hw’!ps.>ne»j
could be found in the city New York jsl
in a week than in the State of Gec»r
gia in a year. i
Referring to the Wayne county in- w
' c-lclent, the newspaper story said Gov- O
ernor Thomas W. Hardwick had of
fcred a high regard for the lyncherfe .J
, and was determined to break up -3
i lynching in the state. Senator Har
' cis took offense to the act of San
ator Calder, in inserting it in the
i record, while both he and Senator ,S|
; Watson, of Georgia, were absent
i from the chamber.
