there was aim st a otnmpede of atrlkera
th(a morning to get back to work,
some at tho men who applied ot t'he
offices of tho Brooklyn City railway
said the vote of the delegates was elm-
nly a “bluff," but that the secret older
was for the men to get back to work
i best they could.
At 5 o’clock over 100 of the men who
went on strike had applied for work
at the Ridgewood atiiWra- Supertm-
tendent Goodwin have them a showing
nnd sent them to President Lewis' of
fice. The same course was pursued t
the other denote. President Lewis did
not have time to consider the matter
today, hut he put their applications on
file. The men who were taken hack
will be hired Under Individ nil con
tracts and put to work betide non
union men.
Later tn the day it developed ttiit
the return of the strikers to work wue
tlie result of a blk split in the ranks
of District AssenSbly No. 75. At the
meeting ls»t night. It Is said, tlwn'
was a great row. Same of dhe ma«ter
workmen of local a«senlMlo» insisted
that tthe strike should be draltred off,

Atlanta. Feb. 14.—(Special.)—The
oommission appolntetl by tflse legis
lature to make mo exhibit of the state's
resources at the Cotton Staavt and In-
ternaalonal Exposition, autd the exposi
tion company are about to lock horns
over the question ot bousing chw Geor
gia exhibit.
When the question of making the ai>-
ptopriatlon was pealing before the
legislature, the board datum tho ex
position -people agreed to furnish the
boUMing for the state'* show If the
state wouhl give the money necessary
tn colleot and maintain It. Several
apeeches of the active friends of tho
expost ten company, and of the exposi
tion people .themselves, before commit
tees are cited by the board to show
the promlii* made In ordsr to secure
the 217.500 appibprOadota.-
At *h« outset the board undertook
to supply She building for the state by
Itaown effort*. Contributions of mate
rial. etc., were solicited from promt
n<ot people all over tho slate and a
Special agent iwus put tn the Held to
work up Oho Idea. All this work hns
failed so far. however, and now tli-
board has determined to call upon the
egpoSstlon company to fumleli tho
building ltaett as per laAuUio made
when the legislature was In session.
If tha exposition oonnpany refuses to
provide the state a building It is prob
able that the board -will take the posi
tion that-they cannot use the money
appropriated by the kvlilature. anti no
state exhibit will be made. Those who
hold this view think the wppropria-
tied was only mode with the under
standing that the exposition company
should furnish the state a building,
and unless this purt of the agreement
Is esu-rtod out they cannot see -their
wuy clear to using -She appropriation.
Another thing that la trouuitng the
board is that the rati roads have all
dflollned to recognise the claim* of the
state oommtaston for courtesies to Us
agent In orte-ctlng an extablt. Tho
railroads say they win only contribute
transportation to the exposition cosn-
pmy direct. This heavily handicaps
the stato commission, and the situation
In this rest*** Is rendered still further
unexplainable by the fact mat tM
railroads will receive more penmanwvt
benoflt from a tine Geoswla exhibit
than from all the balance ot the show
combined.
A* a member of the board put tt In
a conversation. It looks tike the rail
roods are boycotting the taste exMbtit.
At today's meeting of tho board Mr.
Kelley, who ha* been on a trip through
the stats for two weeks, trying to raise
funds to erect the Mat* building, re-
portal Butt IIS nad bran iSSSib'S to *5
anything on that Cln*. The people are
not able to give to such on undertak
ing, and, betides, he reported that
many believe the expowtson company
should provide th* bulldkvr.
The board therefore abandoned the
idea of raising funds to put up a state
bulkltnr ami will have a conference
with th* -board of directors of the ex
position company next week snd then
make the formal demand upon the ex
position company to put up the build
ing for the state exhibit.
Atlanta. Feb. 14.—(Special.)—The ex
ecutive board of the Southern Hallway
snd steamship Association was In ses
sion today, pasting upon n loi «: iou
tine work, mostly the settlement of
appeals from the state committee.
Among the railroad men, tlie sett,e-
merit of the future of the Southern Pas
senger Association ha* been a live sub
ject. The roar!* could not get along
wltliout a passenger association, but
things have been In an unsettled stab*
for month* past, over the details ot
the new agreement. All the line* re
cognized that it would be wiloldal poli
cy not to have » passenger associa
tion. but In order to carry their partic
ular points, certain line* In tlm old or
ganization threatened to throttle tho
association. All the wrinkles hate beets
smoothed out, however, and the new
agreement, which la to be algiuvl on the
12th of next month. Is satisfactory a'.l
around.
The new association will be aeparato
and distinct from t-lie Southern Rail
way and -Steamship Arts,relation. It
will have a regular passenger commis
sioner, who will have no other duties
