Judge George Hillyer, of Atlanta, haa
been elected vice chairman of the Geor.
gla railroad commlanlon, and will pre
aide In the absence of Chairman Me
Lendon.
Judge Hillyer *ay» that hla election
tvae more a matter of form than other
wise. After two months 1 service on the
commission Judge Hillyer aaya he flnda
the work congenial to hla tastes and
habits. He finds most of the duties
matters with which he han long been
familiar, both In the law and the prac
tical application of hla knowledge to
railroad problems.
In an Interview Saturday Judge Hill
yer aaya Interesting things about the
railroad situation and the work that
Ilea before the commlsalon:
A Personal Inapection.
"Mr. Hill and I recently made a per
sonal Inspection of parts of the track
of one of the railroads upon which
there had been n report by the regular
inspector. Of course, It would be Im
practicable for members of the commis
sion to repeat such an Inapection In
its entirety by again going over tt. but
Its verity, or want of verity, ae the
cane may be, would be determined by
Judiciously sampling the work here and
there and at different points along the
line, as was done In the present case.
"It is the policy, and, as I understand
It, will be the practice, to call for re
ports from time to time, so that the
commission and the public may feel
assured not that defects. If any exist,
have been discovered, but that they
have been remedied, and this does not
refer to any one particular railroad
more than another, but alike Inspection
and effort to remedy will faithfully be
made as to all the roads In their turn,
one after another, so far as the meins
and resources at the command of the
commission will admit.
Won’t Injure Railroads,
"The commission does not wish to In
jure the railroads In any way, and will
be cautious and considerate In this
matter, aa In all others; but will act
with the vigor provided by law when
the necessity arises. In this matter,
as In most others,- wisdom lies In the
middle ground. The railroads should
have reasonable rates, and should
make reasonable repairs, so as to make
their tracks and trains safe, and do It
well and promptly. These are my own
views when here stated in this form,
but I have no doubt all the other
commissioners think the same way.
"Undoubtedly an unsafe railroad
track and. roadbed Is a menace, a con
stant menace, to life and property, and
U an unspeakable evil. It Is a remedla.
ble evil, and It would be a reproach to
the railroads themselves If It were
not remedied. If the different railroads
will apply themselves at once and dili
gently to this work, when, at unex
pected times and places, one of our In
spectors appears and finds everything
In good order and ae It should be, hts
report will show It, and the company
will be entitled to the credit.
"But, coming at unexpected times
and placee, whatever the Inspector flnda
Is wrong will surely be discovered, re
ported to the commission, and appro
priate steps taken to the extent of the
commission's powers and Jurisdiction
for applying the proper remedy.

OOOOOOOOOOOOChJOOOOO OOOlWOO
By a unanimous vote taken late Fri
day afternoon, the local union of the
Commercial Telegraphers decided to
suspend tbe telegraph strike, aa fore-
coated In The Georgian Friday, and, os
a result, tho officials of both companl-
and the Associated Press In Atlanta
have applications for more positions
than there are vacancies.
At present there are no vacancies
with the Postal In Atlanta, and ths two
vacancies that were there were filled
Friday afternoon by the men who hod
been out on strike.
Thera are still eight or ten vacancies
with ths Western Union in Atlanta, but
announced by the officials that
they era In no particular hurry to HU
these, as the men are not especially
needed at this time.
Superintendent J. Levin, of the
southern division of the Western Un
ion, says all tba offices In his division
are filled up and that there are no va
cancies. In Atlanta he says there are
■till eight or ten place* not filled and
that while he would like to take care
of the strikers, he has not the placee
for them at present.
Whet Strikers Lost.
'1 like the boys who worked with us
and who struck," said Mr. Levin. “As
a rule they were a fins set of men and
many of them were led Into the strike
against their-will. There were 116 op
erators who struck In Atlanta on the
Western Union and the average salary
they received was (68.74. This was
only the regular salary and to this must
he added the extra monsy made, which
was considerable. All over my divis
ion ths average salaries ranged from
268 to over |80, while some received
over 5100 as a regular salary. To Illus
trate what extra money Is made I
might cits ths case of a woman opera
tor In Atlanta whose regular salary
was only 528.50, but who received an
average all last year of 19$ a month.”
The Postal now has all vacancies
filled, with eight operators In the main
office and two wire chiefs and eleven
operators In the branch offices. Man
ager Alfred M. Beatty said that the
only two vacancies he had were filled
Friday afternoon after the strike had
been called off. He haa had four other
applications, he says, but has no place
to put these applicants.
One vacancy was filled at ths Asso
ciated Press by a striker, but all tha
other positions ere filled.
Go to Other Work.
Many of the strikers left town during
the early part of the strike and ac
cepted positions In railroad offices and
In other lines of business, so that the
list of those who can not get positions
Is not as large as might be expected.
An Idea of the money lost to the tel
egraph operators In ealary during the
■trike may be gained when It Is slated
that the pay roll each month of the
Western Unton In Atlanta at the time
of the strike was between $11,000 and
$12,000 a month.
