Howell, ; of Nebraska, armed with a gold sealed i certificate of election from the secre- ■ tary of state of Nebraska, is on hand today and has started the contest. How ell demanded the seat of Victor Rose water. acting chairman of the commit tee. The fight to get control of the na tional committee will take precedence over all the fights. It will start as soon as the committee gathers for its first meeting, and the preliminary skirmish ing already is under way. Howell, the first of the contestants on the ground, asserts that he Is and has been, the national committeeman from Nebraska, and that Rosewater is only a holdover. Howell says he be came committeeman on May 17. the day that he qualified under the Ne braska law. Claims Seat Under Nebraska Law. Heretofore the national committee men have held office until after the na tional convention. Chairman Harry S. New. of the sub-committee on arrange ments. says that the rule will be ap plied this year. Howell asserts that, the committee already has adopted a rule recognizing the statutes of the va rious states as authoritative, and that under these statutes he is entitled tn ,his seat. "There Is no question but that I am. i under the laws of the state, the only man entitled to act as a national com- I mitteeman from Nebraska," he said. "I am not making an application fori permission to sit at this time for per- | I eonal reasons. As lam the first and j only national committeeman from No- ■ hraska recognized by the laws of the: state and elected by a majority of the' voters of the Republican party. I be- ; Ileve I would not be doing my full duty unless I filed my credentials at this j time.” Harbinger of G.O.P. Bolt at Chicago CHICAGO.

I r' i KICKERS’ I COLUMN If you are unhappy, have a grouch or a i grievance, here’s the j place to tell about it. Transfer Time Limit Too Short. To the Editor: Please allow me space to make the following complaint against the Georgia Railway and Elec tric Company: I want to call attention to the time I allowed on transfers, which is very j meager. Now, for instance, we will Aboard a car at Copenhill at 6:15 a. m. : Fare is paid and transfer given on re- I quest as per rules of the company: the time punched on the transfer will be found to be 6:20 a. m. or 6:25 a. rm. and the patron transfers at Mitchell and Broad streets, car arriving there at about 6:25 or 6:30 a. m. As is ' ; generally the ease, we miss the con- Inection and must wait on the next ear. . 1 which may be running on a ten or I twenty-minute sehiglule. Then the i transfer is no good, as you will be po- i litely informed, ami it is a case of dig | down for another nickel. The trouble is due to not allowing i enough time on transfers. It is true I that.there are people who form a hab- I it of attempting to use overdue trans- i fers while shopping, etc., but this is not liable to occur to our working men and women during the earlv morning hours, and at least twenty minutes should be allowed on all transfers during the day. ' It is only a fair and just demand. As a matter of fact, the people of Atlanta should be enjoying the six tickets for 25 cents. Yours trulv, STRAPHANGER. V ' ■ • ' ■ / ■ W®'- K\ i wX ; ;J VxU. , ..

Miss Nina Gentry to Try to Duplicate Her Second Scores Abroad. It has remained for an Atlanta girl to invade the native home of golf, with the idea of demonstrating once and for all time that the brand of the bonnie game we play down in this neighbor hood is about as classy and well exe cuted as the article they put up on the heather where they’ve been playing I since goodness only knows when. Miss Nina Gentry, who is well known throughout the South as a golf ex pert. is in London with her father. W. T. Gentry, head of the Southern Bell Telephone Company, and a party of At lanta relatives and friends They’re going to do France and Vien na. the Rhine country and nearly every storied spot in Europe before their re turn in July. Miss Gentry has taken with her her entire golfing outfit, and so have some of the rest. But it Is on Scotland that the Atlanta girl has particular designs, and even before she begins her sight* j seeing she's going to invade all the his toric links of the heather country tn; see if the playing which has won her fam° an d records throughout the South land can't' be duplicated abroad She will play over the green at St Andrew which is the premier golf links in the world, and she will even tread the grass of Skibo, w here .Andrew Car negie holds forth when he’s abroad.

N. Y ND ARBITRATION IN HOTEL STRIKE New York Proprietors Defy : Waiters, Declaring They Will Never Recognize Union. NEW YORK, June 3.-—Efforts of the state board of arbitration to effect a settlement of the waiters strike which has now affected 51 hotels and restau rants were rejected today by the hotel managers. ’’We are able to serve our customers and only unconditional surrender of the strikers of their demand for union rec ognition will bring peace negotiations, was the ultimatum from the hotel men when approached in the interest of a settlement. Revised figures on the numbers of waiters and cooks who had struck showed that 4,500 employees were out. The strike leaders declared that they would never surrender on t+ieir demand for union recognition. That the struggle has only begun was the declaration of Financial Secretary Bloehllnger, of the International Hotel Workers union “When our campaign is in full swing, he said, "we will not only be able to get 100,000 hotel and restaurant work ers out in this city, but 200.001 through out the country. Strikers Have Resources. "There is plenty of time. We can hold out for six months and have plenty of money.” "We have no objection." said Presi dent Reid, of the Hotel Men’s associa tion, "to meeting the two representa tives of the stat ' board at any time, hut it might as well bo understood in ad vance that any effort to have us recog nize the union and treat with the union leaders will not be considered. That is something we will not do. We will close every hotel in New York first.” The hotel managers planned to make today the crucial point of the effort to break the strike. With 300 members of the Queen society here from Montreal and Quebec and a large importation of negro waiters, they had four of the largest strike-breaking firms In the country at work getting waiters and cooks for the inside work and "strong arm" men for the outside protection. Not since the Brooklyn Rapid Transit strike have so many strike-breaking agencies been employed in this city at one time. BAGMEN MAKE OFFICERS AND INITIATE DOZEN MEN Caspian Guild, A. M.
