SETTLEMENT OFSIBIKE HOW worn Georgia Officials Refuse to Re employ 40 Men in Atlanta Joint Terminals. SCHEME TO BREAK UNION OF TRAINMEN. SAYS CHIEF Settlement of the Paschal and Morgan Cases Reached--Tie Up of Road Complete. AL'GI'STA, GA.. Oct. 7.—-According .to a statement made Monday afternoon h\ Vice President James Murdock, of tiir Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen. ,iie Georgia railroad strike would have n settled and al! the men would have son back to work this morning if offi i lalt of the road had not refused to take back the men working in the Atlanta joint terminals who went out. There me about 40 of these men. It is charged io M Murdock that the road has en ■■.. ;\ored for a long time to separate . se men working there from those working on the road itself. The charge made is that the road would like to jave the men in the Atlanta terminals b oken away from the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen so that the road otrd "hire and fire" them at will. The statement made by Mr. Murdock 'owes as a surprise, as this was the first intimation of any question regard ing he men In the Atlanta, terminals, 'he seitlement of the Bachal and Mor gan a’er it- generally understood, vou'd have ended the trouble. According to Mr. Murdock, the (Geor gia railroad has recently injected the ’etminal affair Into the controversy. A basis of settlement in the Paschal and Morgan cases was reached last night, the termlna.l affair alone is now a bone of contention. Just how the Pas ’■'lal and Morgan cases had been set tled is not stated. However, the break in tlie negotiations caused by the At lanta. terminal ca.se may cause every thing to be gone over again. The Georgia railroad officials refuse to make, any statements in regard to their future plans and do not indicate whether or not they will ask for a Fed eral court injunction so that they may operate their mail trains. Sunday Train to Atlanta Last One.

CLERCTBKK OSO IN Niroi FIGHT Decide to Uphold Stand Taken by the Men and Religion Leaders. INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE IS HINTED AT BY JACKSON Pastors Convinced They Mis understood 'Bulletins Extra.’ One Refuses to Give In. Ma’ion Jackson and John J. Eagan, leaders of the Men and Religion For ward Movement, and their advertising campaign as it affects the mayoralty situation, were given unqualified in dorsement by the Evangelical Ministers association today. AA ith but a single exception minis e s who Sunday denounced the now famous "Bulletins Extra" for what they claim to have been a support of James G. Woodward for mayor, today admitted that they had misunderstood or mis read the bulletin The Rev. G. M Eakes, of St. Johns Methodist church, alone stood by his guns and voted against a resolution to indorse the committee advertisements. "Mr. Chambers has answered this question asked him to my satisfaction.” said the Rev. Mr. Eakes, "and for that reason I can not support a resolution which will put this body Into polities again and befog this issue. Intimation Made of Independent Candidate. The action of the ministers associa tion means that the quasf-political bul letins of the Men and Religion Forward Movement, under the entitlement of "The Churches In Our Midst,” will con tinue with the support of Atlanta di vines. The interrogation seeking an indorse ment of Police Chief Beavers and his action in closing the houses in the segregated district, will be hurled at the two candidates for mayor a second time. x i And unless one or the other answers this question to the satisfaction of the movement and the ministers an inde pendent candidate, backed by the move ment may enter the mayoralty lists at the general election In December. Facts Distorted, Declares Jackson. AU this and more took place at a meeting of the Evangelical Ministers association, held in the First Baptist church today. Here what promised Sunday' to prove a disintegration of the concerted movement against vice in Atlanta was pronounced a misunder standing. The fight whether or not it involves political questions. will be fought out along the line Marion Jack son and John J. Eagan direct. Tn a vehement defense of the "Bulle tins Extra,” the advertisement which caused the trouble, Marion Jackson de nounced the Woodward campaign com mittee for what he termed a willful mis construction of the facts. Want to Know Who Will Support Chief. "If any man on God's green earth,” he ’sa.ld, “can construe that bulletin as to be in favor of one candidate for mayor as against another. I want him to give me his logic. The Woodward campaign committee used isolated phases and sentences to suit their pur pose. "On this point, however, I and my associates will be Insistent. The Men and Religion Forward Movement and the ministers of Atlanta have asked Chief Beavers to do this thing. He has done it. Now the churches and the movement must support him, and we have the right to know, and will know, who will support the police chief for his courageous act and wh<f will knife him." Planning Beavers' Political Death. "Already forces are at work in At lanta planning Beavers’ political death. Is it right for the churches which have demanded that he close these houses fail now to support him in every way? For this reason we have asked both candidates to state publicly their at titude regarding Beavers and his ac tion. This and nothing else. "And let me say here, whether or not the ministers of Atlanta continue to ask this question. I will while there is breath in my body.” "In case neither candidate.

Demands War on Assignation Houses and Cheap Hotels—Suggests Health Certificates Before Marriage. Home For Wayward and Com mends Chief Beavers’ Crusade. A crusade io eliminate the white slave traffic in Georgia and tin street and assignation house evil in Atlanta is urged in the long awaited report of the vice commission, submitted Io the city council today. t hies Beavers' crusade against the ’‘houses in our midst” is up held. and a policy of repression is urged in dealing with the social evil. I'ln report is embodied in 27 typewritten pages, and goes into a discussion of the social evil from psychological, economical and moral viewpoints. It declares that efforts have been made to lead astray young women of the best families of the city. It declares that the worst evidences of evil are the assignation houses—ninny of them on the principal streets of the city—and immoral women on the streets. The commission urges a gen eral clean-up of the city. Lectures on Hygiene In Schools Proposed.

I It recommends thai separate parks be provided for white people and negroes. If urges better hospital facilities for the treatment of venereal diseases. A home for wayward girls is pointed out as one of the city's big needs. It declares that there is a "white slave’’ traffic in the state, engaged in luring girls from the smaller towns to the cities.

Orville H. Hall. George H. Boynton. \V. G. Hum phrey. Edgar G. Ballinger, George I. Walker and R. N. Pickett. Urges Campaign on Questionable Hotels. "The commission finds that one of the greatest menaces to our young people and an evil for which there is abso lutely no excuse, is the assignation ho tels and oorning houses on many of our principal streets, which furnish a place of ruin to the young girls living at home and at work. They should not be tolerated. "We believe that the best way to handle this question is to adopt a policy of suppression, not in a spasmodic way, but with a continued vigilance by police authorities, and that this should also extend to rooms occupied by women of questionable character In the business sections of the city, and that a general clean-up campaign should be Instituted in such sections. "One of the greatest evils arising from this source is the fact that many young girls, having no proper places of amusement and naturally seeking pleasure in the evenings, are lured to these places, frequently by companions of their own sex, who are not known to he immoral. Erlends are Introduced who take them to places of amusement frequently of doubtful character, and In this mannet form a familiarity that leads to their ruin Police Should Regulate Amusements. "A great many children grow up without the proper care and are left to form associations that ultimately lead them into vice. "This condition also is brought about by the fact that we have not yet suf ficient schools along industrial lines where these children ran be given a proper training qualifying them for the duties of life. We believe that the board of education should give careful thought to this particular phase of the subject and consider Hie question of an industiial course in the grammar schools. "There is Hliolhei class of children that air neglected, whose parents do not have to work, but w ho permit their children to roam the streets and go to places of questionable amusement, thus forming habits that will almost certain ly lead to Immorality. Another deplorable fact is that la,gr numbers of children of both races are allowed to main the streets without iiii'n guardian 01 chapeiun until late hours nt the night, frequenting places HOME IDITION 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE URGES CLEAN-UP JUDGE FITE TO BE CITED BE COURT OF APPEALS State Tribunal Decides to Cah Cherokee Jurist to Explain Criticisms. Unless it reverses its de term! nation within the next few hours, the court of appeals of Georgia will cite Judge Augustus A. Fite, of the Cherokee su perior court, before it for contempt. The judge will be called upon to ex plain away satisfactorily to the court, of appeals certain contemptuous, sneer ing ana unbecoming public criticism of the court of appeals or suffer such penalty for contempt as the court may inflict, which is imprisonment for ten days and a fine of SSOO, or both, in the discretion of the court rhe court of appeals recentlv re versed Judge Fite, for the second time. In a case from Gordon county. In handing down its reversal the court of appeals criticised the judge of the lower court for the way in which he had handled the case. This brought forth from Judge Fite a bitter and scathing attack on the court of appeals. In which lie unmerci fully lambasted the court. This was in the form of a newspaper card pub lished in Sunday’s newspapers of a week ago. The court of appeals took this matter under consideration on Saturday last, and since then lias been debating with Itself whether to cite Fite for contempt or not. The court today decided to summon him. and the writ likely will be given to the sheriff of the court of appeals for service this afternoon. of questionable amusement, and we be lieve that this should be remedied by proper police regulation. Recommend Schools As Community Centers. “We believe that more attention should be given to helpful amusement for the children and young people of our city, and to this end would sug gest that the board of education be re quested to allow public school buildings to be used as community centers, where the children, with their parents, can congregate in the afternoon and even ings. “We believe it would be a good idea for the board of education to elect one or more male instructors on sexual hy giene for the boys of the seventh and eighth grades of the grammar schools and In the high .school, to visit these various schools at staled periods, hav ing the boys segregated to themselves, and lecture and instruct them on this subject. "There is a class of women who fre quent our prominent streets, accosting men ami young boys, inviting them to a life ol shame and degradation, and owing to the Increasing population of our city, this form of vice is becoming a serious menace and should be oblii orated, and. we believe, can be doti» without evil effects, and we reeom mend that our police commission tak< pioper nens in thia direction.
