Within the next three days It Is

What the result will be If the officials

The fact that this action on the part
of the Atlanta operators follows almost
immediately after the Increase of 10
per cent in wages nllowed by Robert C.

Is recorded as unusual. Inasmuch as
the diffcient unions tnroughout the
country requested this raise-
This Is explained fully by one of the
union telegraphers, who claims that the
practices In vogue In the Atlanta office
practically nullifies the raise, and that
In consequence thereof the 10 per cent
raise eventually finds Its way hack Into
the coffers of the coritpnny, without
benefiting any one.

To Establish Ship Lina.
Ry for the moat Important develop
ment In the Immigration convention
ha* been the movement to establish
an Immigrant ship line between
vannah and a Kuropean port. Th* Idea
was first advocated by Governor Ter'
roll In hie address to the iconventlon
yesterday, and the afternoon session
established the fart that within thk
nest ninety days a regular line of
steamers will be eetabllahed between a
German port and Havannah, and an
Irregular line between ports of Italy
and the United Kingdom and Bavan-
nuh. with an Immigration alallnn un
der Federal supervision at Havannah.
Resolution* Adopted.
The report of the committee on reso
lutions was as follows:
"Whereas, The slate of Georgia le In
a condition which demands action with
respect to the Industrie* of the state on
the line of her material development,
throughout all Georgia and especially
In the Southern portion of the slate
complaint I* rife with respect lo a de
ficiency in laborer*. People who are
operating Industries, tor the want of
labor, find themselves unable lo make
progress: ami new enterprises are not
started for the reason that men who
have money are unwilling lo Invest It
In manufacturing or other Industrial
operations with the fact stating them
la the face that they will be unable to
operate them for want of laborers.
These things have brought about a
restless condition on the port of our
people, pspeclaltr In the southern.s*c-
Hons of the state, where efforts have
been pul on foot to Iniport negro la
bor front Cuba, Porto Rico and other
Weet Indian Islands.
Therefore, be It resolved:
I. That this convention favors Im
migration of the beet and highest type
which Is available, and desires that
steps be taken to keep out of the state
thfft lisas of people who will be a
menace lo our tgdqslrlal progress and
a higher type of civilisation.

I 1. Under existing Federal laws, all
efforts to secure Immigrants (and we
w-ant non* except those which are de
sirable) must be had under the diron-
tlon and supervision of the stale. It
Is, therefore, eminently Important that
Itbe state should taka the matter m

direction to such operation* an w in se
cure a sufficiency of good people to
meet our labor conditions.
4. Thousands of spindles In the cot
ton mills ore Idle and other manufac
turing Interests or* retarded, while
building Interests In many triacw ora
almost st a standstill. All for a treat
of a sufficiency of labor to property
conduct operations. Thro* conditions
added to tn* tact that we have minims
of actus of land In Georgia now lythg
Idle, which could be made to longsty
Increase the wealth of the state, i
to tntsnalty tbe need for active opera-
Hons In securing desirable Ima
lion to tbe state.
5. The fact that we have nut labor
sufficient to handle the spindle* ta tha
cotton mills which w* now have la <
cotton nulls which we now nave la op.
eration In the state. In addition to tb*
drawback which It occasion* oa ac
count of a decrease In tbe output of th*

will not Invest It In additional rnMsn
mills In Georgia. All of which la gross
ly detrimental to our material ps ffpese
and advancement.
