Following is a report of the meeting printed this morning by the New York Times. “The Web Pressmen’s union. No. 25. th' New York branch of the organiza tion, voted a* a special meeting in Bee thoven hail. East Fifth street, last night not to obey In'ernational Pres ident George L. Berry's orders calling for a strike on Hearst papers through out the country. Vote Against Strike Almost 4 to 1. ' In so far as this <jity is concerned, the pressmen voted against a strike, although in doing so some of them ad mitted after the meeting they laid themselves open to the risk of having their charter revoked by the interna tional governing board. “The vote against the strike stood 582 to 139, and was taken after a con ference of about two hours. “President Edward W Edwards, of the New York branch, told the meet ing of Berry's orders, and advised that the question of obeying or ignoring them would be put to a vote.

' President Berry, who issued his or ders from Chicago, was expected at the meeting last night. He was reported to have started for this city, with the in tention of taking charge of the situa tion here, and his absence was com mented on and was practically made an issue by several of the speakers last night. Speakers Praise Hearst's Attitude. “Mr Berry orders this strike," de clared one speaker, “and is supposed to come here and handle it. He ap parently hasn't interest enough to at tend the meeting.” William Randolph Hearst came in for praise in the course of the various speeches. His attitude toward labor was advanced as an argument against a strike on his newspapers, and was received enthusiastically. “Among all the speakers there was none who advocated the strike, and no argument in favor of it was advanced. “Though the vote revealed that some thing more than a fifth of the members ire.sent were in favor of the strike, hey apparently lacked u spokesman to dvance their views. Most of the two lours which the meeting was in ses sion was taken up with arguments igainst the strike.

T.’s Come to Atlanta by Hundreds From All South for Three-Day Talkfest. If ths Jesup One-Price Grocery Em porium runs short of sardines and cheese this week it can't afford to wait for Charley Johnson or Bob Watson to drop isj with his grip and order book. The boss of the grocery will have to get busy on the long-distance telephone and send in his own order. The way sta tions will see no drummers this-week. They are all in Atlanta. They began coming in bunches early today, all dressed up in the clothes they usually keep for the towns their best girls live in; all lugging suit cases with suits in them instead of samples, and all ready with the smile and the hand shake. Doesn't Mean IJ Can’t Treat. Every- one of them wore in his lapel a pin with the insignia. “U. C T.,” which doesn't stand for “U Can’t Treat," as popularly reported, but quite the re verse. They all belong to the Georgia- Florida division of the United Commer cial Travelers, an organization which has its brand on every traveling sales man in the South except those corralled by its rival, the Travelers Protective association. U. C. T.'s in Procession. Those who had arrived in the city early met the more belated delegates at the Terminal station on In-Coming trains today, and at 9 o'clock the pa rade, headed h y’the Fifth regiment band, moved down Mitchell street to Whitehall, down Whitehall and Peach tree streets to the Piedmont hotel. Each delegate in line carried a grip, and the colors of the order, yellow, white and blue, decorated every hat. They insisted that the band should play nothing except "Everybody’s Do ing It” and to that tune the travelers marched as enthusiastically as old Con federate veterans would to the strains of “Dixie." The Atlanta delegates said that the tune meant "Everybody's com ing to Atlanta." while the Columbus delegates, who are hot after the next convention, declared that the tune was an omen that "Everybody’s Pulling For Columbus." Will Be Here Three Days. They are in Atlanta for a three days Convention at the Piedmont hotel, to elect officers of the grand council and plot together for better ways and mean: for hypnotizing retail merchants into signing their names on the dotted line. There will be several business sessions and more or less business talk. But if you call one of the members over in a corner and ask him why he came, he'll tell you he couldn't afford to let his rivals get together where he couldn’t keep his eye on them. Atlanta chapter No. 18 is the host of the convention, and its members are hustling to elect <.'. K. Ayer to one of the high offices of the council. They are not particular which seat he lands, so long as it is close up to the top. and they propose to put him there if they have to stay up all night winning votes.

I GALLEDTAFT'S woth President's Reciprocity Plan Wouldn’t Give a Square Deal, He Declares. BRADFORD JUNCTION, OHIO. May 16.—“ i called his bluff." exclaimed Colonel Roosevelt here today in a speech denouncing President Taft for hit* reciprocity attitude. The ex-president talked to 1.500 peo ple from the rear platform of his car. He said: "I supported the president’s reciproc ity effort at first only because I thought it would immensely benefit the con sumers. When I learned later it wmrked to the advantage of the beef trust and the millers trust, because it let In raw material free and kept up the tariff on the finished product, I had to put my self against it. Then I found that the president deliberately was using my support of the measure to influence the people against me. Well, I just called his bluff, if I may be permitted to use such a term." Farmers Cheer Lustily. The crowd, the preponderance of whom were farmers, cheered lustily as Roosevelt, urged that they get out next Tuesday and vote against Mr. Taft. "I know it’s hard to give up your time from the plow' now,” said the colo nel, "but if you don’t get into this fight the professional politicians will take, advantage of it. This is your govern ment and you have got to take some trouble about it The boss ojily gets his chance because the people don’t come out. We want the farmer to hit the boss hard.” Reverting to reciprocity, the colonel observed: "Mr. Taft's plan would not give you a square deal." EXTRA PPTL'IT. On Trains.

With his call for a spiritual quickening in the church, Dr. Carson mingled the warning that the year 1911 showed "a comparatively small number of accessions.” and he drove this home with figures that told the story. The accessions to the Presbyterian church in 1911. said the moderator, were a total of 72.883 in 10,051 churches, and 3,759 churches reported no additions to mem bership on confession of faith, while Continued on Page Three.
