GILLS T.H’S
PLATFORM
2-SIDEO
Proposes Social Reforms, and
Speaks of Great Trusts at
the Same Time.
BITT’ALtt. Sept. 2.—Governor Wil
«'ii turned his big guns on Colonel
Roosevelt today in a speech which he
delivered to an enthusiastic Labor day
throng of many thousands at Brauns
nark. The Democratic candidate for the
presidency was cheered from the tno
im nt he arrived and the hearty greet
ing he received reached its climax at
the park. Analyzing the Progressive
platform of Colonel Roosevelt, the gov-
■ rnor said:
■There is a very singular feature
about the platform of the nev party.
Il has two sides and two tones. It
speaks warm sympathy with practical
ly every project of social betterment
io which men and women of broad
sympathies are now turning with gen
erous purpose and on that side it is
refreshing’to read. It may be intcr
nrcied in tile light of some interesting
things Mr. Roosevelt has recently said.
Mr. Roosevelt declares his devoted
■oilicrenee to the principle of protec
tion- Only those duties which are
manifestly too high, even to serve the
interests of those who are directly pro
tected. ought, in his view, to be low
• red. He declares that he is not trou
bled by the fact that a very large
mount of money is taken out of tht
pocket of the general taxpayer anad put
'iiio the pocket of particular classes of
protected manufacturers, but that his
oneern is that so little of this money
gets into the pockets of the employees.
I have searched his program thorough
ly for an indication of what he expects
m do in order to sec to it that a larger
proportion of this 'prize - money gets
Into the pay envelopes and i have found
only one suggestion.
About the Minimum
Wage Proposition.
"There is a plank in the platform
which speaks of establishing a mini
num wage for women workers, and
I suppose that we may assume that
'he principle Is not in the long run
meant to be confined in its applica
tion to women only. Perhaps wc arc
justified in assuming that the third
tarty looks forward to the general cs
iblishment by law of a minimum
It is very likely. I take for granted,
at if a minimum wage were estab
shed by law the great majority of
mployers would take occasion to bring
’■ ir wage scales as nearly as might be
down to the level of that minimum, and
t would be very awkward for the
kingman to resist that process suc
ssfully. because it would be danger
ous to strike against the authority of
llk Federal government.
"Moreover, most of his employers —
at any rate, practically all of the most
powerful of his employers—-would be
sards and proteges of that very gov-
■ rnment which is the master of us all.
for no part of this program can be dis
cussed intelligently without tremen
bering that monopoly, as handled by
it, is not to be prevented, but accepted.
It is to be accepted and regulated. All
attempt to resist it is to be given up.
It is to be accepted as inevitable. The
government Is to set up a commission
whose duty it will be not to check or
defeat it, but merely to regulate it,
under rules which it is in itself to frame
and develop, that the chief employers
will have this tremendous authority
behind them: what they do they will
have the license of the Federal govern
ment to do, including the right to pay
the wages appioved by the government.
Attitude of Industries
Toward Organized Labor.
"And it is worth the while of the
working monos the country to recall
what the attitude toward organized
labor has been of those master- of con
solidated industries, whom the Federal
government is to take under its patron
age as well as under its control. They
have always been the stout opponents
of organized labor and they have tried
io undefmine it in a great many ways,
some of the ways they have adopted
iv- worn the gul-e of philanthropy
nd good will, and have no doubt b< en
used, for all 1 know, in perfect good
faith. Some of them have set up sy s
"uk of profit-sharing* of compensrf

World's Greatest Long
Distance Runner Held
Prisoner at Ellis Isle
, Officials Trying to Determine
Whether Athlete is a “De
sirable Immigrant.'’
NEW YORK. Sept. 2. —Hans Koieh
mainen, of Finland, the greatest long
distance runner in the world, who
wrested more than one victory from
Americans in the international Olympic
games at Stockholm in July, is being
held today at the doorway of the Unit
ed States until the authorities can de
termine to their own satisfaction
, whether the great athlete is a "de-
I sirable immigrant."
Kolehmainen. who arrived here yes
terday from Glasgow upon the Anchor
liner California, was detained at Ellis
Island facing possible deportation.
The athlete was accompanied by his
brother. William. They came here not
as athletes, but as workmen bent upon
making the land of the Stars and
Stripds their future home. The twain
came as third-class passengers and
were dressed in typical immigrant fash
ion with loose fitting clothing, ungain
ly shoes, tweed caps and red bandanna
handkerchiefs knotted about their
necks. Hans speaks no English and
was the most amazed man on the
North American continent today be
cause his entrance into the land of
promise had been barred His brother,
William, tried to explain to him that
the authorities must surely be making
a mistake, but the wonder in Hans'
big ox-like eyes only deepened. Wil
liam speaks a few words of English.
The two brothers kept to themselves
on the voyage over and refused to min
gle with the other emigrants.
Prominent athletes, upon hearing of
■ the Kolehmainens' plight, immediately
took steps to help them.

Forecast for Atlanta and Georgia:
I Generally fair today and tomorrow.
ATLANTA, GA.. MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 1912.
LABOR HOSTS
BANISH FOR
DAYCARE
INDTOIL
Thousands Desert City for Cool
Grant Park and Splendid
Festival Program.
Factory fires are banked today. The
tall stacks a e smokeless since Satur
day night. Shop doors are closed and
cotton mill spindles have ceased their
whirring for a day The men and wom
en - and the child workers, too —are
celebrating the one day in the year
they call their own.
Wisely , the Labor day committee i
' abandoned the parade this yea". On
, many September Mondays the worker?
have arisen early, donned holiday um
. forms and marched in the hoi sun be
hind brass bands, while wives ami chil
dren have sweltered on the sidewalks
waiting for the parade to pass.
But this year the unions decided on a
"safe and sane" celebration at Grant
park, where the atmosphere is several
degrees cooler and a great deal fresher
than in Whitehall steet. The working
folk are there by thousands today, fill
ing the pavilion, dotting the wooded
hillsides with splashes of gay color,
keening the popcorn men busy. They
crowded the trolley ears before the sun
had a chance to get In its work and the
park was well filled before half Atlanta
• had finished its breakfast.
Music of Three Bands
Enlivens the Throngs.
Three bands, all union musicians, of
I course, began their program early in
1 the day The hlg concrete pavilion was
given over to dancing. Farther down
the park another hand played every
thing from grand opera to ragtime.
: with a big audience sitting on the
grassy hillside. The zoo folk held a
regular reception from the start and
before the monkey cages the children
formed such a crush that it required
■ several cops to keep the smaller ones
from being smothered. Old Maud, the
elephant. entertained a constantly
grow ing circle of wide-eyed youngsters
and the parrots and cockatoos were
' taught enough new words to double
(heir already extensive vocabulary.
The Labor day exercises began yes
terday with a special sermon at the
Harris Street Presnyterian church, de
livered by Rev. Jere A Moore. A host
of union men gathered at the city ball
jus. before the service and their march
to the church was a Labor day parade
, without the floats and bands. The line
' was headed by President S. B. Marks.
. of the State Federation, and Carl Kar
ston, president of the Atlanta body.
D ■. Moore took for the theme of his
sermon “Ono Day’s Rest in Seven,” and
' discussed the principles for which union
labor is working. “More than 3.000.00 C
people in the United States are denied
a day s rest once a week," he said.
| “They are enslaved by employers
| seized by a passion for greed and gain.
Pleads for One
Day of Rest in Week.
“In Atlanta today more than a thou
! sand street car conductors and motoi -
1 men must work seven days in a week
'About 300 policemen are required to be
|on duty seven days in a week. Hun-
I.lron’s of clerks have no Sunday rest,
I being required to work in drug stores.
I tobacco stores, candy stores, and at
soda fountains, all of which are open
on Sunday in direct violation of the
laws of the state of Georgia, except the
drug stores selling what is necessary
to be sold on the Sabbath. ,
“The city grants her firemen one day
out of six. and that is right: but why
not give the policeman one day ii.
seven ?
“Is not lite Georgia Railway and
Electric Company prosperous enough,
and considerate enough, to give its em
ployees the privilege of resting one day
in seven?
“Should not the railroads heed the
law of the state and stop all unneces
sary moving of freight trains?”
Final plans for the Grant park cele
b ation were made at a meeting of
committees yesterday afternoon at the
Labor temple. W. C. Puckett, Cail
Karston, R. L. Corley and Dennis Lind
say made up the committee on program
and amusement. L. P. Marquardt, Je
rome Jones. William VanHouten. W. C.

August 30. 1907* Richard Mansfield.
“We pass; the path that each man trod
Is dim, or will be dim, with weeds;
What fame is left for human deeds
In endless age? It rests with God.”
Through the mail to this newspaper it
comes each year on the anniversary of
the great actor’s death from a convent,
where even the name of the sender is
hidden under the name bestowed by ths
church.
When Richard Mansfield was In his first

a young Maryland girl, by whom he was
loved in return. Her parents forbade the
marriage, then relented on condition that
Mansfield leave the stage and become a
Catholic. But she gave him up and en
tered a convent.
When Mansfield first, saw her she wore
white roses In her hair, and from time
I to time he sent to the convent a basket
of white roses, until the black-robed sis
ter became known to the. nuns as the
"sister of the roses.”
