It is interesting to note what has

the use of their advanced methods.

Athens taking an agricultural course
at the Univesrity. George Plunkett

THE COVINGTON NEWS, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1912.
ORGiA RAILROAD STRIKE IS
STILL ON; TRAFFIC STOPPED
(Continued from First page.)
cordingly feel that they should not
a-oitrarily dismiss these i.ew employ¬
ees in order to take bac k (he strikers.
e hu.. e a.s many employees jusi
row as we need,” officials in tho for
minals office stated. We have about
twenty-five men ac tually at work row,
and over fifty who are available as
soon as Pa Georgia railroad resumes
traffic and we have mare trains to
move in the Atlanta railroad yards
Hence we do net need the strikers.
But we are willing to take them back
u , fast as we have room for them.
Some of our present workers may
not desire to stay here permanently,
and we will take on the strikers when
they leave. That is all we can prom¬
ise.”
Immediately upon this instance of
the injunction the Georgia railroad be
gan to make preparations to dispatch
trains from Atlanta and from Augusta
en Wednesday morning. No passen¬
ger trains will be run without a mail
car, thus carrying the federal protec¬
tion. If on the first run violence is
offered the United States soldiers of
the Seventeenth regiment, stationed
at Fort McPherson, may be ordered
out to accompany the train.
No further trouble is anticipated,
however. Past experience, it is believ¬
ed, have taught the strike sympathiz¬
ers better than to attack a train thug
guarded. Hence it is probable that
the Georgia road will run its trains
tomorrow morning unmolested.
Freight trains will be operated at
cnee also One will probably leave
Atlanta sometime during Thursday,
carrying interstate shipments. There
has been no freight train to passover
U'e Georgia tracks since last Friday,
when an interstate freight was dis¬
patched, but was sidetracked about
Lithonia by strike sympathizers.
The injunction does not protect the
freight traffic to points along the
Georgia route between Atlanta and
Augusta, hence the strained condition
of freight traffic will be unrelieved
until the Georgia railroad deems it
safe to operate local freight trains al¬
so. The small towns along the
Georgia route have been sorely incon¬
venienced during the past week by
the absence of freight shipments,
while the business of the large ship¬
pers has beeen greatly reduced.
The agreement that has been
reached by the employees and the rail
road, so far, has not been made pub¬
lic. But it is understood that a satis¬
factory agreement has been reached
by the railroad and the conductors.
FARMERS’ UNION ISSUES CALL
FOR GREATER CO-OPERATION.
Sandersville, October 7.—Calling at¬
tention to the fact that, while the
cotton crop of the year ending Au¬
gust 31, 1912, was greater by 4,081,331
bales than that of the preceding year
yet the south received $107,074,825 les
for it, State President Laiwson E.
Brown, of the Farmers’ Union, has
issued a ringing statement asking
greater co-operation on the part of
the farmers to secure their just rights
through the union.
His letter is, in part, as follows:
“In our co-operative work and en¬
deavors, we need a; greater awaken¬
ing along agricultural lines. We need
oetter and more scientific agricultural
methods that will result in the con¬
servation amd improvement of the nat¬
ural resources of the land w r e culti¬
vate. We need better schools and
better community interests. We need
and are entitled to, better homes, bet
farms, better fences, better roads,
and a greater diversification, and more
scientific marketing of farm products.
“Lawyers, bankers and other class¬
es organize to advance their individ¬
ual and mutual interests and welfare,
ar.d to promote the common welfare of
all by exchanging ideas, spreading
knowledge and bringing about better
conditions, as well as increasing the
share of good things of life for not
only themselves, by a rational and
equitable system of distribution, but
also of all concerned, so too should
tillers of the soil and the millions up¬
on millions that follow the plow and
the flag, the part of real men, join
hands in a common cause. As long
as each undertakes to stand for him¬
self we are disorganized, and it will be
impossible in the struggle for exis¬
tence to enforce a businessl’ke and
equitable recognition of our rights,
duties and responsibilities.
“Everyone knows that prices are
fixed by speculations and combines
ar.d that the law of supply and de¬
mand is actually subverted and set
aside to the serious hurt and detri¬
ment of the farming class.
“Those in need of the products of
the farms can buy at a much lower
price, if the sellers are disorganized.
Organization is the only means by
which we can loosen the grip of the
great meat, provision and middleman
combination, and that will tend to
flee us from industrial and commer¬
cial and political enslavement. The
farmer must work out his own salva¬
tion, and by and through the Far¬
mers' Union he can accomplish this
—so I urge that you rally around our
standard and endeavor to arouse all
the enthusiasm possible looking to
tbe furtherance of these glorious pur¬
poses.”
