THE STRIKE
I, Jno. C. Graham, Jr., of Anniston,
of No. 60 of Atlanta, struck and walk
ed out from the Western Union office
of Atlanta, leaving a salary of $60. and
went to work for the Columbian Wood
men, and am now a free man making
above 2200 per month.
All those out now can do the same
by calling on Jonathan B. Frost, Co

BARGAIN DAY AT
TICKET OFFICES
Continued from Page One.
was with the Southern, In selling
tickets through from Atlanta to points
on the Tallulah Falls railroad.
The most noticeable effect of the
new rates was on the Western and
Atlantic to points on that road In
side the state. To Dalton, for Instance,
there Is a saving of over a dollar. It
Is 29 miles to Dalton, and the Western
and Atlantic formerly charged 23.00 for
an even hundred miles. Now the two-
cent rate Is applied to the 99 miles,
making a saving to the passenger of
21.02. It was also noticeable on short'
runs on the Atlanta and West Point
road. This Is a two-cent road and
tickets were sold at this rate to West
Point, but no through tickets were sold
on other roads.
Interstate Rate Same.
The prices on Interstate tickets Is
not yet affected. It costs as much as
ever for a ticket to New York, although
a great part of the Journey Is made
through Georgia and North Carolina,
which have cheap rates in efTect. This,
however, will be remedied later on.
The railroads have not yet had time to
figure out the schedule of rates on
this basis. ■'
It is the same way with a ticket to
Chattanooga. The old rate Is charged,
and to get any benefit, a passenger
must buy a ticket to the state line and
then get another ticket to Chatta
nooga. In this event, however, his
baggoge would only be checked to the
point within the state.
While the short mileage to Rome
from Atlanta Is over the Western and
Atlantic at 41 miles, the part of the
Journey on the branch road from
Kingston to Rome is still at three
cents per mile. A ticket costs $1.17-to
Kingston under the new rate, and 66
cents from there to Rome, under the
old rate.
All sorts of complications aro ex
pected to arise because of the mileage
of different lines to given places.
From here to Macon the Southern has
the short mileage and the Central has
to meet It. From Macon to Savannah
the Macon, Dublin and Savannah, a
three-cent-a-mlle road, has the short
mileage to Valdosta and from there to
Savannah Its trains run over the Sea
board, at 2 1-2 cents a mile.

The officials of the Southern Bell
Telephone and Telegraph Company
Monday morning decided to abolish the
night rates for long distance telephone
calls.
It is presumed that the dlscontlnu
ance of these rates will be effective at
once, although no statement to this
effect was made.
The Southern Bell, along with other
long distance companies, up to a few
months ago had a special night rate
for telephone calls. Several cbmpanles
abolished this rate some months ago
and more recently the American Bell
did the same.
Monday morning It wns given out at
the headquarters of the Southern. Bell
that the night rates would be abol
ished In Georgia.
It Is denied that the strike of the
telegraph operators, which crippled the
telegraph business, caused the cutting
off of this special night rate.
The cause given officially Is that the
establishment T>f the night rate caused
so many people to wait until night to
give their calls that it congested the
lines and made the service unsatisfac
tory.
The Southern Bell officials state that
(he change will relieve this congestion
at night, thereby Improving the serv
ice. Tho officials say also that the
discontinuance of this rate will cause
a reduction In revenue -to the company,
In that fewer people will use “long
distance" without the special rate.
The officials preferred advancing the
night rate to the day rate, rather than
reducing the day rate to the night rate,
a means of relieving. the conges
tion at night.
Whether or not the night rates will
be re-established after the telegraph
companies are In better shape to com
pete Is a matter of some doubt and un
certainty.

Box Party At Game Given
By Member of Popu
lar Firm.
No more Jolly party of fans ever
whooped things up for Atlanta than
the employees of the Daniel Brothers
Company, who occupied a row of boxes
at Ponce DeLeon at the afternoon La
bor day game.
L. J. Daniel saw an opportunity to
kill two birds with one stone. He could
entertain all his employees, their wives,
and sweethearts, and at the same time
by so doing could get together os loyal
a bunch of fans ns ever strained
lung or mobbed an umpire.
Mr. Daniel wants Atlanta to win that
pennant. Also, he wants his employees
and their aforesaid sweethearts and
wives to see and help them win
Accordingly, he conceived the
Idea of taking all of them out
his guests Monday afternoon, and the
Idea conceived It was at once executed.
There were about sixty In the party
altogether and all sat In boxes. In the
Intervals between Innings, the party
stopped yelling for Atlanta long enough
to cheer their host, Mr. Daniel.

followed on the heels of the secretary's
visit to the West, let It bo known that

order. In the appointed places and
without delay or confusion, union nfter
union fell In at the proper time and
position. Once under way, the long
line moved with measured tread out
Mitchell to Whitehall to Peachtree to
Forrest avenue, then counter marching
to the corner of Whitehall and Hunter,
where the parade concluded.
To pass a given point required ex
actly thirty-five minutes, and the pa
rade, with no straggling or drawn out
formations, was over a mile In length.
Dy common consensus of opinion,
this was one of the best and most nota
ble Labor Day parades In the history
of the Atlanta Federation. In the num
ber of unions represented. In the num
ber of memb 11 In line. In the unique
and handsome floats and the general
effect, It was distinctly one of the best
showings ever made In this city.
In that long line of marching'hosts
there were moldcrs, carpenters, butch
ers. printers, dairymen, blacksmiths,
engineers, stove makers, all the varied
industries that go to make of Atlanta
a great manufacturing and Industrial
center.
High-Class Men.
One was strongly Impressed with the
appearance of the men forming the
parade. Though marked by the signs
of hard toll, they were all clean-look
ing. strong, healthy, Intelligent men
and youths. An onlooker observed that
It was the highest class of laboring men
he had ever seen on parade, and that
he had observed them In practically
every big city in the Union.
The celebration of the day will be
completed Mondnv evening In Turn
Vercln hall, when addresses will be de-
llvered by Governor Hoke Smith. H. H.
Cabanlss, Jerome Jones, E. W. Martin
and Walter P. Andrews.
After the Parade.
White City will be the principal scene
of the afternoon celebration, though
thousands will attend the baseball game
'and fill Ponce DeLeon Park to over-
llowlng. The afternoon program will
be entirely Informal, the crowd being
left to Its own amusement.
The Labor Day orations will be de.
llvered Monday night at Turn Verein
hall, with Governor Hoke Smith as the
principal orator. H. H. Cabanlaa, Je
rome Jones. E. W. Martin and Colonel
Walter P. Andrews will be among the
speakers. Dancing will follow the for
mal exerclsei.
Uniformed Unions.
The parade proper—that Is, the rep
resentations of the various Atlanta
lodges—began with the second divi
sion. Each organization was attired In
some uniform either characteristic or
fancy.
By reason of the fact that It Is the
mother lodge of a great organisation,
local No. l. International Machinists’
Association, took the lead, having In
Its ranks over 200 members. On the
float was a miniature steam engine,
running at full steam, under the di
rection of Its maker, Oscar F. Camp
bell.
Then came the standard of the mold-
ers, who were out id gay attire; then
a full representation of the stove
mounters, followed by half a hundred
coppersmiths and almost as many boll-
er maker*.
Carpenters and Joiners.
The Carpenters and Joiners' Union
led the second division. Its float was
small house on wheels. A house
party of children rocked comfortably
on the front and rear porches. The
little guests were Ilelolse Chambers.
Lottie West, Ruth Bledsoe. Lillian
Bartlett, Bertha Bartlett and Eula
Green.
The bricklayers, brightly dressed,
followed their float, which was a well-
made 'brick residence on wheels. Be
hind them came the plumbers, each
amred with an Iron table, Into which a
little solder had been dropped as
realistic touch.
The granite cutters, sheet metal
workers, painters and paper hangers,
Interior marble workers and cement
workers' unions constituted the rest of
the division.
Printers Turn Out.
The printers, with their uzual' exhi
bition of loyalty, were out In good
numbers. For the first time the book
binders took part In the parade. The
pressmen and stereotypers had full del
egations.
The new union of butchers, with Its
float representing a meat market, came
next and was followed By the horse-
shoers, who were dressed In red shirts,
with bared arms and leather aprons.
Their standard was In the shape of a
large horseshoe. ’■
The telegraph' operators, who came
Immediately following, were the pets
of the crowd, by reason of the strike
which they are conducting. They dis
tributed hand bills, reading: "Mall
your own telegrams nnd keep the
change. Ninety-five per cent of the
combined Western Union and Postal
operating forces are on a strike for an
eight-hour day and 16 per cent Increase
In wages.” The lady telegraphers in
their tnlly-ho were saluted by the print,
ers as they passed on Whitehall street.
The stationary engineers, the brew
ery workers and the bartenders were
all represented In the parade by strong
delegations.
The fifth division consisted of the
colored organizations, which were un
usually strong in numbers. All wore
summery uniforms and made a fine ap
pearance. There werer the bricklayers,
the plasterers and the painters, each
union having a hundred or more mem
bers.

OPERATORS SALUTE
OLD EMPLOYERS
The striking telegraphers’ union, with
Its realastlc float and tally-ho full of
ladles, aroused more enthusiasm per
haps than any other organization.
When they passed the Western Union
and Postal offices—their old working
places—the strikers, walking two
abreast, gave a yell by way of salute
that brought their former bosses and
the other Inmates of the building to
the windows.
The scene on their float looked like
a slice from a telegraph office. The
operators were working away at the
Instruments, one sending and one re
ceiving. The idea was carried out
thoroughly, even down to the paper on
the typewriter.
From float nnd tally-ho posters ad
vising tho public to send their tele
grams by mall and save extra charges
were distributed. On the tally-ho were;
Miss Mamie Glttus, Mrs. GIttus, Mrs.
Wilson. Mrs. Westbrook, Mrs. E. Sum

Heard, Mrs. Stokes, Mrs. Johnson, Mrs.

GOAT CUT UP
IN BIG PARADE
Two little darkles, Marshie Johnson
and Edgar Yearby, seated In a tiny
wagon drawn by a goat, constituted
one of the most unique features of the
parade. They represented the colored
painters’ union, which was out In full
force. ,
Several times during tho parade tho
goat became unruly, threatening to
make for the nearest piece of paper
and forsake his honorablo position In
the procession. Timely assistance,
however, prevented any such catas-:
trophe, and throughout the long Jour
ney the hungry animal had to content
himself with pulling the wagon and
hoping.
CAPITOL CLOSED
FOR LABOR DAY
By order of the chief executive, the
state capitol was practically closed
Monday, In honor of Labor day.
Governor Smith was at his office at
the usual hour, but left In time to
take hla place In the parade. Other
offices In the building were open for a
short time In the forenoon for tho
transaction of important arid neces
sary business, but In the afternoon the
big building was deserted.
There were no new developments I
during the morning relative to tho pas- !
senger rate reduction. The office of
the railroad commission was locked
shortly after 10 o’clock. Tho only com- I
mlssloner there was Judge Httlyer,
who dropped In for a few minutes to 1
get his personal mall.
Sheet Metal Workers.
President C. H. Barnes, of tho Sheet
Metal Workers' Union, wns accom- i
panted by an escort of four girls, who I
helped support the handsome bronze
standard. The party rodo In a car-, j
rlage Just ahead of their union, which i
was out In full force. The young ladies I
were Misses Susie Windsor. Annie
Poindexter, Frances Smith and Jessla
Edwards.
BANNER BEARERS
OF HEFTY BUILD
Size was the striking thing about the
banner bearers In the Labor Day pa
rade. Although no prize was offered
for excellence In this line, each union
seemed to have made particular effort
to have the largest man in Atlanta as
Its standard bearer.
Walter Baer, of the Amalgamated
Meat Cutters and Butchers, and J. M.
Chambers, of the Carpenters and Join
ers, local No. 329, split honors In this
contest. Mr. Chambers Is 6 feet 6
Inches tall and weighs 240 pounds. He
Is three Inches taller than Mr. Baer,
who Is but 8 feet 1 Inches. The butch
er, however, outweighs the carpenter
by 30 pounds, tipping the scales at*270
pounds. John P. Davidson, 6 feet 4
Inches, weighing 210 pounds, of the
Bricklayers; A. G. McCune, 6 feet, ISO
pounds, of the Plumbers, and others
deserve honorable mention In this re
gard. 9
BUTCHERS MAKE
FINE SHOWING
The Amalgamated Butchers and
Meat Cutters’ Union, the youngest or
ganization In the parade, having been
organized In March, was one of the
best represented. The butchers were
out In full force and had a well design
ed float, allowing part of a meat- mar
ket. with sides of beef, tempting chops,
well cured hams and a real butcher
cutting away on a chopping block.
