In the I hird ward, S. S. Shepard polled a plurality v *te for council, with Carl N. Guess second, but there was no majority, and Shepard and Guess must run it again.

GEORGIA ROAD RUNS TWO TRAINS AS STRIKERS JEER Above, Trainmaster Chapman, of the Georgia railway, leaving the locomotive cab after arranging for the running of the first train. Below, one of the strikers trying to show a strike-breaker the error of his wavs. SEPTEMBER POSTAL RECEIPTS SHOW BIG INCREASE OVER 1911 The receipts of the Atlanta postoffice for the month of September shpw a substantial Increase over the same month of last year —52,257.22. The total receipts for the past month amounted to $99,295.21. The receipts for the month of September last yeat were $97,037.99. While the increase is not as great as is shown by some months. Postmas ter McKee says it shows that "things are still growing and are not at a standstill.” Detectives on Guard, But Hoots Only Express Union Men’s Disapproval as Cars Pull Out From Atlanta, While Another Train Starts Out at Augusta. Many of the Imported Men Induced to Drop Out by Idle Trainmen—Mail Car Hitched on to Give Added Security—Railroad Declares Itsi Passengers Will Be Safe. Two passenger trains bearing United States mails were operated on the Georgia railroad today, the first since the conductors* and; trainmen’s strike began Tuesday night. One train left Augusta early in the day. The other pulled out of the Atlanta Union station at o’clock, manned by a strike-breaking crew. There were grav** doubts expressed that either would reach its destination without disorder,! for the road is lined with strike sympathizers who live in <the small towns. Trainmaster Chapman and officers of the road superintended the making up of the train in Atlanta, the regular joint terminal force having refused to handle Georgia rolling stock. The engine and coaches pulled out after an hour’s delay, amid the jeers of a hundred or two strikers who filled the station, but there was no real disorder. By orders of road officials, the mail car was attached to the rear of the train, in order to prevent strikers or their friends from cutting off coaches without interfering with the mails. One railway mail ser vice employee, it was reported, refused to go out in the car unless it was placed in its usual position, but another took his place. Trains Run on Time Without Trouble Both trains were running on time and without any attempt at interference at 2 o’clock this afternoon, stated Trainmaster Chapman. The train from Augusta passed Madison at 11:85 and was reported from other stations as being on its schedule. It was due to arrive in Atlanta at 2 o'clock. The Atlanta and Augusta trains passed at. Social Circle at 12:45 o’clock. Freight traffic is still tied up on the Georgia road. No perishable freight is being received and that from other roads is being routed over connecting systems. The yards are comparatively free of freight. The train from Augusta arrived here at 1 :50 without having ex perienced any difficulty whatever on the trip. Preparations were immediately made for the running of No. 28 this afternoon at 3:25. There was no indication at 2 o’clock that tho strike would ex tend to any other system. The strike in the joint terminals affects only the Georgia, the Louisville and Nashville and the Atlanta and West Point freight terminals. Other roads which use the old sta tion as a terminus are not having any troubles. Strikebreakers From Philadelphia Here. According to reports. 53 strikebreak ers recruited in New York and Phila delphia. arrived in Atlanta at an early hour this morning and were secreted in various downtown hotels. By 9:30 o’clock the railroad’s men had dwin dled to some fifteen men cooped up In offices of the company at the Union station waiting for No. 2 to move. A doaen of the near-strikebreakers fell into the hands of union striking conductors and trainmen congregated in the Union station, and after a half hour of argument decided not to go to work. The men were taken to the O. R. T. hall and will be taken care of by the union as long as they remain neu tral. Strike-breakers Won Over To Union Side. According to a statement made by J. T. Hunt, one of their number, at least twenty of the men recruited to break the strike dropped off the train en route to Atlanta and an equal number disappeared when Atlanta was reached. He said that the majority of them had come to Atlanta under misrepre sentations. They were not informed, he maintained, that they were hired to break a strike. He said many were not skilled trainmen and bad been em ployed as fast as they applied in an swer to advertisements In New York and Philadelphia newspapers. Officials of the Georgia railroad were confident tills morning that No. 2 would make the run to Augusta with out interruption and the opening of the line after the 36-hour tieup would mean that traffic would be resumed. One train a day is the schedule that the company hopes to maintain from now on. Conductor Doesn't Show Self In Crowd. A. E. Wheatkof was the name regis tered by the strikebreaking conductor who took out the train. He was a big man in a brown derby, and he had not shown himself in the crowd until just as the engine backed into the shed and was coupled to the train. Chief Clerk Slaughter, of the Atlanta offices of the road, and several other office men and a special agent or two were on the train to assist the untrained crew with information as to local points. HOHL EDITION 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE Bob Winlock, of Augusta, was the engineer In the cab. He is blu®-eyed and slightly built and the men say he has a reputation for nerve. For an hour before the train left he stood at the head of the stairs in the Union sta tion leading to the dispatcher's office, away from the crowd. John Curry, a 200-pound black ne gro, was the fireman. It was Curry who handled the shovel on the first train out of Atlanta in the firemen’s strike of a few years ago. He merely showed his white teeth in a grin when, asked If he was afraid to make the trip. The engineers and firemen an* not affected by the strike, their unions not having acted in this affair, and 1 , they will operate trains when ordered, unless it is shown that they are sub jected to especial danger. In that case they will insist on adequate protection. Negro Porter Only Person In Pullman. The train carried a combination ex press car with a safe and several pack ages, two day coaches, one Pullman with a negro porter as the only occu pant, and the mail car at the rear end, loaded with pouches and carrying several railway mail service employees. Placing the mall coach on the rear of the train was looked upon by the strik ers as an unfair trick to use the power of Uncle Sam. The regulations require the mail cars to be at the front of the train, they say. If it were carried there, strikers might board the train, cut off all the cars behind the mails and still not Interfere with Uncle Sam. With the malls on the rear, they can not interfere with any of the train ahead without crippling the mail serv ice, something they are very shy of doing. The scene at the Union station was interesting. More than a hundred strik ing conductors and trainmen gathered under the shed and discussed mattery, but there was no loud talking, no threatening language, except when several strikers cornered an imported strikebreaker and began telling him what might happen down toward Li thonia or Union Point. As fast as the imported workers reached the station they were surrounded by clusters of strikers, who talked them out of fight ing the union men. Most of them were easy to handle. Talk Strikebreakers Out of Filling Places. "These strikebreakers aren't regular railroad men.” said one of the strike leaders. "Most of them are New York and Pittsburg bums who signed or for a free ride South and good eatlnr on their way. They never had anj Idea of breaking a strike. They wen ready to duck as soon as they landei here. Sure, we'll feed them and tak care of them if they act decent an>* square. We took a whole bunch up t
