THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN aivD SEWS.
r'ltlDAY, MAT IT, lOTr.
A CHANCE
“TO TON THE TRICK”
It is not necessary that a person have a
great deal of nerve, or a great deal of money,
to make a little money; the main requisite
being a little judgment and just enough atten
tion to comprehend the situation.
When you go into a locality and see hun
dreds of new houses just completed, and others
being built, it should not require a dynamite
or a drilling machine to open a train of thought
and reasoning in your mind.
If you suddenly sat on a hot stove you
would jump, or if some one suddenly fired a
a gun behind you it would startle you, or if
some angel suddenly appeared and emptied a
cornucopia into your lap, the contents being
pure gold pieces, you would be surprised, but
you would take it all the same.
Remember \vhat the famous author wrote:
“There is a time in the affairs of men when ta
ken at floodtide leads on to fortune and to
fame.” Who knows but that this may be a turn
ing point in your life; it is at least worth more
than a passing thought.
It would only cost you a nickel and an'
hour’s time to take a ride on either the Walker
to Westview car, or West End, Gordon street
. I
car; telling the conductor to put you off at Law-
ton street, look carefully over both routes, go
ing one way and returning the other; look at
Peeples Street City School; look at the Howell
City Park; look at the improvements on Hold-
emess street and all of the attractive, elegant
homes being built in this section.
You will gather sufficient information on
which to base a determined desire to get one of
the lots fronting on either' Lucile avenue, Dar-
gan street, Lucile place, or Oak street, which
will be offered at our Auction Sale next Tues
day afternoon at 3 o’clock sharp.
Get a plat and think it over! Call- at our
office next Tuesday at 2:30 and go with us as
our guest. Remember this property is inside
the present city limits, and you can get gas, sew
er and water for any of these lots.

MEN WERE "RAILROADED,”
SAYS SAMUEL GOMPERS
W-
DON’T
PRESIDENT 8AM UEL GOMPERS,
Head of the American Federation of Labor, who will deliver an ad
dress at the Grand opera house Friday night, and be the guest of honor
at a “dollar dinner” Saturday night.
bibor Leader Talks of Idaho Cases and
Compares Arrests to Russian
Tyranny. x • ,
President Samuel Oomjiera, of the
American Federation of Labor and one
of the most capable labor leaders In
the world, arrived In Atlanta Thursday
night and will be here until Sunday.
-V r. Gompers comes to Atlanta upon
the Invitation of the Atlanta Federation
of Trades and will deliver an address at
the Grand'Friday night at 8 o'clock, to
which the puhllc Is cordially Invited.
On Saturday night Sir. Gompers will le
the guest at a banquet to be given him
at the New Kimball House.
Not In ten years has the head of 'he
Federation of Labor been In Atlanta,
and when the Atlanta Federation of
Trades heard some time ago that Mr.
Gompers contemplated making a South
ern trip, another Invitation was extend-
ed him.
When seen at the Majestic Hotel on
Friday morning. Mr. Gompers talked
Interestingly to a Georgian reporter on
topics of Interest to the labor world to
day. A Client talker and eloquent
speaker, Mr. Gompars holds audience,
wherever he goes, and the Indlcatl me
are that a large crowd will greet him
at the Grand Friday night.
Mr. Gompers discussed th __ _
men’s big strike In New York cl»jr and
admitted that he had been asked to
endeavor to bring about a settlement.
Longshoremen’s Strike.
'So far.” he said, "I have not been
able to do anything, but I am not
through yet. in fact, we are never
through trying to help the cause of
organised labor. Strangely enough, the
striking longshoremen In New York are
about the only organised longehoremen
In the country who- are not affiliated
with the American Federation of Labor,
but that doee hot
prevent me from do
ing all I can to help them.”
Besides being president of the Feder
ation of Labor, Mr. Gompers Is flrxt
vice president of the National Civic
League, composed of the leaders In the
labor world and of employers of labor.
Moyer-Haywood Case.
"Yes." he replied In answer to a ques
tion about the Moyer-Haywood-Pettl-
bone case. "I have kept up with this
case and I think all the Indications
point to the Innocence of the accused
men. The Western Federation of Min
ers Is not affiliated with the organiza
tion over which 1 havo the honor to
preside, and I hardly think the accused
officials have much use for either me or
our organlsatlbn. But this feeling Is
not reciprocated. I want to see these
officials get a square deal and I don't
think their arrest and transportation
from another state to Idaho was a
square deal. Strong Influences havo
been working against them nnd to
prejudice the people. Even thoug
are not one of us, I want to set
helped, and want to see them get a
square deal.’’
Mr. Gompers denounced the manner
In which the prisoners were "kid
naped" from one state and taken to
Idaho, and asked what would be done If
an American cltlsen was charged by
Russia with being Implicated In and
preseht "In spirit’' If , a czar was mur
dered and the president was asked to
turn him over to the Russian authorl-'
ties. He said the accused miners had'
been given a similar deal and had. not
been allowed fo have a hearing.
In regard to the charges against
Mayor Schmlts, of Han Francisco, Mr.
Gompers said he could not believe the
mayor guilty, and that If he was. It
was through the power of Abe Ruef.
He declared Mayor Bchmlts was a lov
able man with a most charming wife.
Mr. Gompers Is well satlsfled with
the present outlook, but says he Is still
working for better things.
