rhlnlsts from all parts of the system

cussed In a general way. but no details
were made public. The conference. It
was stated, was railed by the Southern
railway and not by the machinists
themselves.

largest shops were Howard C. Bueck,
secretary of the committee, of Salis
bury: A. O. Hollingsworth, Macon: Ed
ward Gardner, Richmond: George Eh-

been promoted to a higher line of work.
This Is taken to mean an average re
duction of 10 per cent In wages.

Keep full the ranks with newer

The years that try and mar and mend.

OIL MEN CHASE
KIDNAPED INDIAN
BOY TO GET LAND
“The eight-hour law, which goes Into
effect now very soon, requiring rail
roads to have three shifts every 24
hours, will call for more telegraph op
erators than can possibly be supplied
Immediately,” said Professor Johnson,
manager of the Atlanta School of Te
legraphy.
“The good schools of telegraphy,
which are thoroughly and practically
equipped and which are under the
management of experienced and effi
cient telegraph men, will have all they
can do during the next several months
supplying this unusual demand for op
erators.
“An official of one of riie x leading
railway systems wrote to the'Atlanta
School of Telegraphy this week and
wanted to know how many operators
could be counted on from this school
during the next several weeks.
“The time Is now opportune for those
young people who desire to go Into
the profession of telegraphy or rail
roading, and the Atlanta School of Te
legraphy* offers, I believe, advantage*
not to be found elsewhere in this
state.
"As it Is one of the Institutions of
the long established Southern Short
hand and Business University, It goes
without saying that Its patrons’ Inter
ests are well served.”
Call or write at once for Informa
tion. Enter the coming week and get
ready for the big demand for operators
which Is near at hand.
