“Will Never Arbitrate.”
According to the railroad officials
T A. Gregg, of the conductor’s union,
d James Murdock, of the Train¬

men’s union, have
would be one strike which would n e v

4 no train in charge of a union conduc¬

union officials say.
Incidents of The Strike.
Just before one o’clock on Tuesday
morning, following a conference with
the representatives of the Order of
Railroad Conductors and the Order of
Railway Trainmen, officials of the
Georgia Railroad issued the following
statement;
“It is probable that the conductors,
flagmen, baggage masters and yard
trainmen may withdraw from our ser¬
vice.”
A ballot was taken by the represen¬
tatives of the organizations and they
voted overwhelmingly for a strike.
They then gave the road until 10 on
Tuesday morning to accede to the
demands made upon the road before
a general strike order should be
sent out. This, however, wais plain¬
ly a formality, since conferences
lasting from immediately after noon
Monday until after midnight failed to
bring about amicable results.

MOBLEY’S COVINGTON, GA. MOBLEY'S
hood of Locomotive Engineers stated
in Augusta Tuesday morning that
they would remain neutral in the mat
ter at present.
The demands of the employees in¬
cluded the reinstatement of Conduc¬
tor J. T. Paschal, who was discharg¬
ed for an alleged violation of the 16
hour law. It is claimed by the road
that he allowed his engineer to work
overtime, although he did not do so
himself.
That the Georgia railroad strike
will probably not affect the trainmen
and conductors of any other railroads
operating in Georgia, was the opin¬
ion of labor officials in Atlanta 1 ex¬
pressed last night.
No action toward a sympathetic
strike has been considered by the
Order of Railway Conductors or by
the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen
and there is no indication of a desire
on their part to cause a sympathetic
strike.
W. C. Stradley, chief conductor of
the Order of Railway Conductors, Di¬
vision No. 180, of Atlanta, state! that
no strike action, was being considered
by the members of that order. All
tne conductors of the Georgia 1 rail¬
road are members of tlie Augusta di¬
vision of the Order of Railway Con¬
ductors.
The strike order, going into effect,
will probably tie up the traffic of the
Georgia railroad, which is the only
direct router between Atlanta and
Augusta.
Dixie Roads and Men Balk The Me¬
diators.
Washington, October 1.—Unless
stubbornness which has marked the
stand of both parties to the contro¬
versy between the southern railroads
and their trainmen is broken
the next forty-eight hours, the medi¬
ators are expected to give up the case.
This was the situation last night im¬
mediately following two sessions the
mediators held with the trainmen.
Conferences will continue today.

taken, by the mediators it is said
neither side has attempted to aid the
government's agents by conceding the
slightest point. If the efforts of the
mediators finally fail, the controversy
probably will be submitted to a board
of arbitration.
Mayor Barrett Wires to Clements
For Aid.
Augusta, Ga., October 1.—At mid¬
night all other avenues seeming to
be closed, Mayor Barrett wired Jud
son C. Clements, of the interstate
commerce commission, in Washington
to take a hand, if it is possible, in
the street car strike and bring about
mediation under the Erdman act. Mr.
Clements replied that he would re¬
fer the petition to Messrs. Knapp
and Neil.
Mr. Barrett takes the position that
while street railways are exempt un
aer the act, the fact that this road
operates interstate for the movement
of pasengers and freight, and is a
mail contractor, the law can be made
to apply.
Efforts were made throughout the
day by the mayor and a committee
representing the city council to get
the contending factions on common
ground in such a way that arbitra¬
tion can be arranged. The company
takes the position that there are cer¬
tain things they cannot arbitrate with¬
in their property rights.
The city was quiet throughout to¬
day, but no effort was made to oper¬
ate any street car, at the request of
the military authorities. Three of
the local companies of militia were
disbanded, leaving only one company
of soldiers on guard last night.
Preparations have been completed
for the court-martial today of Cap¬
tains Jowitt and Henderson and fif¬
teen members of the militia in con¬
nection with the shooting of three
citizens last week. Major Claude C.
Smith, of Atlanta, will act as judge
ad vocate.

It isn’t Veneer That Really Counts.
It’s what a man Is, not what he has,
which makes him a real man, after
all. Acquired powers have their fas¬
cination, it must be admitted, but,
compared with genuine qualities, are
not important. Which do you wish—
the ability of a husband to swear at
you in seven languages, or a loving
tenderness that will prompt your hus¬
band to speak words of sympathy to
you in commonplace accents? Are
you contemplating living with clever¬
ness that can cut you to the heart, or
with a great tenderness of nature that
can sympathize?
Technical facilities, encyclopedic In¬
formation, polished manners, all ac¬
quired points, usually attract a wom¬
an. They are veneers, and the wise
girl will look beneath. A continental
bow, a polite speech of apology with a
French phrase thrown in, can never
counterbalance the black eye given In
a blind rage.
Corner on Idols.
H. E. Huntington of Pasadena, Cal.,
has done a foolish reactionary thing.
He has bought 57 idols, brought them
from their original Japanese temple,
and installed them in his grounds so
that he can worship Buddha in seclu¬
sion. How much better It would have
been if he had got statues of some
of the American idols and put them
up so that the populace might wor¬
ship. He could have several political
favorites, Mammon, two or three base¬
ball heroes, several moving picture
cowboys, a ten-foot statue of an Amer¬
ican silver dollar, a leading vaudeville
actress, an aviator, a fat hog for Chi¬
cago, Kansas City and Omaha visi¬
tors, and statues of a bull moose, an
elephant and a donkey.—Pennsylvania
Grit.
Thoughts to Live Up To.
No trouble dies so soon as one that
is patiently borne.—Seeker.
Love should be absolute love, faith
Is in fullness or naught!—Browning.
Wondrous is the strength of cheer¬
fulness; altogether past calculation its
powers of endurance.—Carlisle.
A word Is dead
When it is said,
Some say.
I say it just
Begins to live
That day.
Every right action and true thought
sets the seal of its beauty on person
and face; every wrong action and foul
thought its seal of distortion.—Rus

Warm Floors and Healthy
Children Make Happy Homes
There is no better way for you to avoid worry and expense
than by insuring your children’s health.
Warm floors in the home, which is the children’s play
house in winter, are assured when using Cole’s Original Hot
Blast Heater.
The steel base and body construction allows the heat to be
radiated to the floor keeping it warm during the coldest weather.
Cole’s Original Hot .Blast Heater
The Cleanest—Easiest to Care For
Burns Soft Coal, Lignite, Hard Coal, Crushed Coke,
Wood and Cobs.
Users of coal must remember that the ordinary heater is
a big care to operate. That its smoke and ashes entail dust¬
ing, curtain washing and carpet sweeping. Think then of the
ease of operation and the cleanliness of Cole’s Hot Blast.
Cole’s Hot Blast has a guaranteed smoke-proof feed door
open tl\e feed door and the current of air draws the smoke
directly across the top of stove to the stove pipe—away from
the opening. Contrast this simple, cleanly feed with the side
door in an ordinary heater. The side door used on other
6toves permits escape of dirty smoke, unpleasant gas and
accumulated soot drops from it. If you overfill a side door
stove, coal falls to the floor. And note this, you cannot
make a side door heater air-tight—an everlasting advantage
in favor of Cole’s Hot Blast which is air-tight and guaranteed
to remain so always. •
No fires to build—the fire is never out in this remarkable
heater from fall until taken down in the spring.
Better select one today—surely it is the heater you need—
