Receiver Ordered For H. & F. S. R. R.
Macon.—The Hawklnsvllle and Flor
ida Southern railway, operating from
Hawkinsville to Camilla via Worth,
was ordered in the hands of a receiver
by Judge H. A. Mathews of the Bibb
superior court, The receivership was
asked for by the Georgia Southern and
Florida railroad, which claimed the
Hawkinsville line is indebted to it
in the sum of $40,000. J udge Math
evvs named R. B. Pegram of Atlanta,
resident executive officer of the
Southern railway, as received. The
Hawkinsville and Florida Southern in
its answer admitted its insolvency, and
it was also admitted that ever since
the railroad administration took over
the line the road has been operating
at a loss of from $10,000 to $18,000 a
month. Besides the debt, which is
rapidly soaring, the interest on th«
bonds is accumulating and the man¬
agement of the road could offer no
solution for an even break, The re
ceivership stops the interest on the
bonds.
Hucksters Outwit Housewives
Macon.—Macon’s curb market,
which opened recently, did not prove
to be the howling success that had
been predicted, largely for the reason
that the hucksters put one over on the
women of the city, and bought up all
of the produce from the farmers be
fore the women appeared on the scene
with their market baskets. When
about 300 women, armed with market
baskets. marched from the city hall
to the curb market, they found the
entire space occupied huckster wag
ons, the majority of farmers having
departed for home, and consequently
prices were not as low as expected,
and the women had their trouble foi
nothing, since they could have boughl
the same things from wagons right
ir. front of their own doors.
Plan For- Labor Day Celebration
Atlanta.—The Labor Day committee
of the Atlanta Federation of Trades
representing every craft in Atlanta
met at the Labor Temple on Trinity
avenue, to formulate a program ol
participation in the celebration of La
bor Day, Monday, September S. The
principal feature of the celebratioi
will be a big parade of the workers
composing the unions which will be
staged on an even more elaborate
scale than the great parade of Iasi
year.

1 WASHINGTON TO RECOGNIZE
DE LA HUERTA REGIME
IF REFORMS ARE ASSURED
Mexican Ruler Must Give satisfactory
Pledges That He Will Main¬
tain Order
Washington.—The Mexican sltua
tlon Is receiving more careful study
by the American government than has
any subject since the Paris peace con
ference, it was stated, at the state
department. This is with a view to
according recognition to De La Huer¬
ta’s provisional government,
satisfactory assurances are given that
it can and will maintain order and
will live up to Its obligations respect
ing the protection of the lives and
property of foreigners.
American officials, it is stated
tlioritat'.Vely, are impressed with
evident sincerity of the expressions
of De La Huerta and of the efforts
to bring- about order in Mexico, but
they have taken note that the active
workers In the various departments
of (lie Mexican government have not
.been changed and that the newly ap¬
pointed cabinet officers leave the
work of their offices chiefly to the
same men who conducted the affairs
under Carranza.
Reports reaching Washington from
Mexico City state that foreigners who
went to the Mexican capital to com¬
pose the differences between their
companies—agricultural, mining and
manufacturing—are forced to deal
with the very men who hampered
ilieir wofk.
Iglesias Calderon, the special envoy
sent by De La Huerta to urge recog¬
nition, w ill ask for another conference
with Acting Secretary Davis
Caught, in Kis Own Trap.

The Bpom Of LaFollette Was Crushed,
When LaFollette Refused To
Run On Platform
Chicago.—Parley P. Christensen, a
Salt Lake City, Utah, lawyer, a mem¬
ber of the committee of forty-eight,
was nominated as the presidential
candidate for the new farmer-labor
party by its convention.
Christensen was chosen on the sec¬
ond ballot. Christensen was elected
over Dudley Field Malone of New York
by a vote of 192.5 to 174.G.
The “farmer-labor party was tjre
name chosen by the convention of the
new political party.
Robert LaFollette, Jr., notified the
new party leaders that his father would
not run under any circumstances on
the platform adopted.
The., labor group was dominant When
the new fusion party adopted a plat
form late in the day, July 14, in prep
aration for the nomination of candi
dates.
A minority report from the platfortn
committee was sponsored by three
0 f the five representatives of the com
m ittee of forty-eight, but was defeat
e( i by a vote of slightly less than
three to one.
The majority report was signed by
the flve i abor members of the commit
ee on resolutions and two of the par
ty of forty-eight’s representatives. It
was adopted by a big majority, which,
on motion, was made unanimous.
Defection from the ranks of the new
party began when it was shown that
the minority report would be over¬
whelmingly defeated. James Fergu¬
son, former governor of Texas, was
the first to openly pull out of the
meeting. He was followed by dele-,
gates from several states, none of
whom were identified with the Labor
Party.
A near stampede developed when an
attempt was made to forestall intro¬
duction of the majority platform re¬
port by the submission to the con¬
vention of a report that was reputed
to be acceptable to Senator Robert M.
LaFollette. The senator’s friende
launched the attack with a declara¬
tion that the convention was boss-rid¬
den and clique-controlled and that the
(senator’s own platform ideas had been
burled in secret committee meetings.
The storm broke with all the fury of
a riot and LaFollette delegates were
quick to seize the psychological mo¬
ment to spring theiy presidential
boom, ’ i

AWARD TO AVERAGE 50%
TO 60% OF AMOUNT ASKED
BY R. R. BROTHERHOOD8
Indications Are Men Will Not Accept
Compromise And General Walk
Out Is Feared
Chicago.—'The railway labor board,
created under the Esch-Cummins
transportation act, will hand down,
July 20, its first award, Increasing the
pay of virtualy all the two million rail¬
road employees of the country.
On the eve of the decision, reports
from reliable quarters indicated the
aw ard would average from 50% to 60%
of the amount asked by the men, or be
tween five hundred million and sir
hundred million dollars of the billion
dollar total they sought.
Whether an award on the basis re¬
ported would be acceptable to the men,
no union officer is prepared to say.
Nearly one thousand brotherhood chair*
men and executives held an all-day*
session recently to discus union affairs,
and adjourned till the morning of the
20th of July, when they will receive
the board’s report.
Feeling of pessimism was evident;
when the union leaders met and pri¬
vately they did not hesitate to declare
that a general strike was a possibility,
Later, however it was virtually cer
tain that the union chiefs themselves
would not call a strike, but would sub
mit the question of accepting or re- ,
Jeeting the board's award to a referea
dum.
One of the subjects being discussed
ts whether the leaders can hold the
men together long enough to submit
the award to a referendum vote, as la
provided by union rules. Some lead
era say the temper of the men is such
they doubt whether an immediate
walkout unauthorized and uncalled
could be averted if the men are not
satisfied by the board’s decision. :
Working Overtime To Move Cropf
Topeka, Kans.—Men employed In thj
locomotive shops of the Santa Fe rail¬
road here went on a nine-hour day;
adding one hour to regular time, iq
order to increase the output of loc<*
motives for moving the nation’s grain
crops. The car repair shops went 09
a nine-hour basis recently to work?
overtime on grain cars, The two
forces comprise 2,600 men.
Depends on Point of View.
