SAYS UNION
No Attempt Made to Run Geor
gia Trains. Despite U. S. In
junction Protection.
With Charles P. Neill. United States
commissioner of labor, acting as an in
termediary between the union trainmen
and President Wickersham, of the At
lanta Joint Terminals, efforts to end
the Georgia railroad strike were re
newed in Atlanta today without any
definite result.
It was said authoritatively that if
■ settlement "is reached it will be at
Augusta.
Mr. Neill would make no statement
about the negotiations. He held sev
eral conferences with Wiekersham and
a long consultation with Vai Fitzpat
rick and G. H. Sines, vice presidents of
the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen
and will go back to Augusta tonight
Mr. Neill was working hard to affect
a settlement, and many were of the
opinion that he would succeed, but the
situation was unchanged this after
noon.
No Strike on Other
Lines, Says Sines.
There is no probability of a strike on
other railroads in sympathy witli that
on the Georgia. I will go further and
say there Is no possibility of such a
strike," said G. H. Sines, vice president

Terminal Question
Only Issue Now
AUGUSTA. GA., Oct. 9.—Vice Presi
dent Clark, of the Order of Railway
Conductors, is en route to Atlanta this
afternoon to join Vice Presidents Sines
and Fitzpatrick, of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen who are in confer
ence with the chairman of the commit
tees of conductors and trainmen of all
the Atlanta roads. United States Com
missioner of Labor Neill left Augusta
last night for Atlanta to endeavor to
bring about a settlement of the At
lanta Joint Terminal employees ques
tion.
While no statement would he made
by Vice Presidents Gregg and Murdock,
of the conductors and trainmen, respec
tively, in regard to the general strike
that is threatened, still they say they
are determined to maintain their or
ganizations. It is.generally understood
that a strike can be declared without
the formalities of balloting by the con
ductors and trainmen of all the roads
entering Atlanta.
men, today. Mr. Sines is in Atlanta for
a conferenc? with leaders of the train
men and conductors.
"There will be a conference here to
day with representatives of the na
tional organizations of conductors an 1
trainmen and the chairmen of all locals
on roads running into Atlanta,” he con
tinued "When such a conference oc
curs there I- always an Impression in
the public mind that a strike is con
templated. That is wrong. We don’t
want strikes. They are the last resort.”
No effoit was made to run passenger
or freight trains out of Atlanta today,
despite the Federal injunction issued by
Judge Grubb > < ■-telday re.straining the
union men from interfering with the
malls. At the postofifice. officials of the
mail service said they had not been In
for med of any intention of operating
mail trains today and weie routing
their Augusta mail by other roads, as
for the past week.
Union men resent the action of Ftd
eral officers in serving officia's of the
unions with copies of the injunction
v, rlt.
"There lias not been the shadow cf
an accusation that we or any of the
union men have offered to molest a
ttain or inte sere witii its operation,”
said Mr. Sines.
It is true that all disorder following
tile strike has been caused by persons
along the line of the road, friends and
relatives of the strikers, while the
union men themselves have refrained
t om disturbance. Some of them may
have pa rticl put rd in the disorder in the
Union station last Sunday, but this can
not be stated as a fart.
Lal I'lt zpatrlck. of Indianapolis, one
of the national officers of the train
men’s organization, is in Atlanta with
Mr. Sines and will lie present at the
conference. Officers Murdock and
Gregg, of the two unions involved, are
quoted as saying in Augusta that the
conference is called fo 1 the purpose of
considering ’the arbitrary attitude of
the officials in the matter of the At
lanta terminals, the diversion of freight
and other matters of extreme impor
tance to every road in Atlanta."
While it is said no st like is contem
plated. it is known that trainmen on
other roads resent the fact that they
are required virtually to assist in break
ing the Georgia strike by handling
freight over their lines which have been
diverted from the Georgia, thereby re
lieving that system of the clamor of
shippers Should they be ordered to go
Into the yards of the Georgia road and
move freights off its tracks it is prob
able they would refuse. All such freight
has been handled by the strikebreaking
employees of the joint terminals for the
past few days.
The Atlanta joint terminals, com
posed of the West Point, the Louisville
and Nashville and the Georgia road, r ■-
fused yesterday afternoon to take back
tile 40 employees who went out when
the trainmen struck This is the last
bone of contention. The unions hold
that the terminal employees are a part
of their union and their strike was not
i sympathetic" one. as charged by of
ficials of the tetmlnals. The officials
insist that the Georgia strike was none
of the business of the terminal em-
I loyees and they should not have gone
out.

ment that the terminal strike was a
sympathetic one is not m accordance

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9,
Injunction Hearing
At Macon Monday
MACON. GA., Oct. 9.—The Federal
injunction in the Georgia railroad
s trike, signed by Judge W. I. Grubb in
Birmingham yesterday' afternoon, was
recorded in the district court clerk’s of
fice in Macon today. It will be de
termined Monday’ morning at 11 o'clock
at a hearing in Macon before Judge
Grubb, whether the order shall be
made permanent.
"All persons interested are com
nwndAd to show cause at this time
why the injunction shall not be made
the permanent order of this court,” so
reads the order.
The order is specifically directed
against Horace Clary, Clary,
Lazenby. J. S'. Fitzgerald, E. E. Gray,
Pierce B. King and all other persons to
whom notice of this restraining order
shall come.”
It is stated here that effort will soon
be made to resume regular schedules
on the Georgia railroad, at least to the
extent of carrying the mails, and on
each train there will be a number of
special United Stales deputies, sworn
in by Marshal George White, of Ma
con.
Sensational Charges
By Strikebreakers.
Some of the affidavits made by strike
breaking employees of the Georgia rail
road In support of that company's peti
tion so; the injunction are truly sensa
tional.
W. B. Booker, conductor, who left
Atlanta October 4 at 3:BS p. m., in
charge of a passenger train, accuses
Sheriff Clary, of McDuffie county, of
aiding and abetting a mob which
stopped the train at Dearing. Con
ductor Booker says the mob was intent
on getting the conductor, and that
therefore he posed es a passenger. He
says, how ever, that an auto was sent to
Thomson, eight miles distant, for the
son of Sheriff Clary an<l that he (Book
er) was identified by the younger Clary’
.is the conductor. Booker swears h
then appealed to the sheriff for protec
tion and that the sheriff said:
'Protection, hell; 1 hope they’ beat
you to death when they grt you down
there across the track'.”
Booker says the mob then took him
across the tracks and beat him fear
fully with knucks, billets, stones and
pistols, and that he escaped by running
away. He says he waited for the train
in the woods a mile from Dearing and
flagged it by taking off his shirt, set
ting file to it and waving it—it then
being dark.
do not want strikes when we can avoid
them."
The question as to how far the govJ
ernment injunction against interfer
ente with mails will protect pa-sengcr
trains j s a knotty one. It is anticipated
that the road will take advantage of
the injunction to attempt to operate
trains bearing passengers, buggage and
express, as well as mails. It is even
possible that a freight train might be
sent out with one bag of mail in the
caboose.
Hie injunction also covers interfer
ence with interstate freight, which in
cludes practically everything. It has
been ruled by the courts that one
package of freight destined for a point
beyond the boundaries of the state con
stitutes an interstate movement for the
whole train of cars bearing that pack
age. The unions have protested bit
terly against such a construction of the
law.
Sheriff C. VV. Mangum, of Fulton
county, received a telegram today from
Superintendent Brand, of the Georgia
road, notifying him that the writ of
injunction had been issued. He did not
seem impressed.
Superintendent Brand has no juris
diction over me," said the sheriff “Such
a notification amounts to nothing. Be
fore 1 shall take cognizance of it 1 must
be notified by a government official
and in an official way.
"But there won't be any disorder in
F ulton county as long as I’m sheriff.
Nobody expects to have any trouble."
Sheriff Mangum is a veteran railroad
man and a member of the trainmen's
organization. He has steadily coun
selled the union men against any act
which would injure person or property.
Officials of the joint terminals stated
that the men employed to take the
places of the terminal workers were not
"strikebreakers." but experienced rail
road men who were hired permanently.
They offered to take back such strik
ing employees as they could use with
out discharging tnese new men.
Vice President Sines denied that ex
perienced railroader* were at work In
the terminals.
NURSES’ STRIKE

Young Women’s Indignation at
Refusal of Telephone Privi
lege Doesn’t Last Long.
Thougn they had declared they
would never return to their work as
nurses in the Atlanta hospital until a
telephone for their own use was put in
the dormitory (for spooning purposes,
according to the hospital head), and
that they would pick cotton or wash
rather than submit, striking nurses at
tile Atlanta hospital donned their caps
and reported for duty at noon today,
the time limit set by Dr. Thomas H.
Hancock, half owner of the hospital.
The girls struck at 7 o'clock this
morning, the entire staff of nurses
leaving the hospital. While they were
out, the wives of the hospital doctors
and several graduate nurses from out
side cared for the patients. After be
ing out for four hours, two of the strik
ers thought life without a telephone
might be bearable and returned to
Mork. The others declared that never
would they come In again at 11:15
o'clock at night or do without talking
to their beaux whenever they liked.
They stayed free and jobless until 11:30
o'clock. Then dinner bell sounded at
12 o’clock and, as one person, they
marched solemnly into the hospital,
prepared for duty.
Fourteen nurses struck. Miss A. L
Dunman, who had but two more months
to serve before receiving her diploma,
being the leader. At 11 o’clock this
morning two reported for duty, but the
others declare they will never go back
They’ll Take in
Washing First.
Miss Leila Cochran, one of the old r
nurses, said:
"We’ll go home and pick cotton, or
wash, or do anything else to earn a liv
ing before we go back to work if they
do not do what we want them to.”
"There is no kick about the food
just as long as they give us long
enough hours off to chew the steak
they serve us,” said another.
The nurses, all of whom are really
students at the hospital, as none hat
yet received a diploma, say that a tele
phone was supplied them in the dormi
tory for some time, but that it was re
moved. They demanded that it be re
placed and the demand was refused.
Then, they say, when they wished to
go to the corner drug store and tele
phone the superintendent would make
them count it as one of the two off days
they were allowed each month.
"I doubt if more than two of the
fourteen had telephones in their own
homes before they came to the hos
pital,” said Dr. Hancock in speaking of
the strike.
The girls all signed an ultimatum
which was delivered to the superin
tendent.
The ultimatum declared that the
telephone should be replaced and the
hour for them to report at night on
their two nights off should be 12 in
stead of 11 o'clock.
They declared that Miss Maud Gull

BROWN FOR ALL OF 'EM
Both candidates for the mayoralty
nomination today claim the support of
Dr. George Brown, one of the mayoralty
candidates defeated in tl)e first pri
mary.
They produced signed statements
from Dr. Brown favoring the candi
dacy of both Aldine Chambers and
James C. Woodward.
The signing of the statement con
cerning Chambers was witnessed by
older student nurses instruct the
younger ones. Two hours in 24 was
alolwed them to sleep when on special
cases, they charged. Often one nurse
would have to serve the patients on
an entire nurse.
Strikebreakers Here
Jeered By the “Outs.”
All the nurses gathered on the front
porch of the dormitory, adjoining the
hospital, and discussed the strike this
morning and jeered the strikebreaking
nurses as they were brought in from
other hospitals. When Miss Matilda
Houser and Miss Maggie Edwards re
turned to work the twelve other nurses
rose and threatened all sorts of dire
things.
"Just wait till tonight,” they said.
“We'll duck 'em in the bathtub and
do ali sorts of things to 'em. They're
just scabs, the horrid things, and they
signed that paper, too.”
The remaining twelve will take lunch
at a restaurant at noon, they said, just
at the time they were ordered to re
port or to forever remain away.
"We don’t care whether we go back
or not,” said one. “I’ll bet this is the
first time you ever saw so many women
stay of the same mind for such a long
time.”

Carlos H. Mason, chairman of the city

cian. both of whom said they voted for
Dr. George Brown in the first primary,
but who are now for Mr. Chambers.
The statement is in the form of an in
terview.
Asks Support For Chambers.
After thanking his friends for their
support and declaring that the cam
paign has left no feeling of bitterness
in him, the statement, dated October 9,
says among other things:
A great many of my friends are
warm supporters of Mr. Chambers,
and while I do not know him very
well, I am thoroughly satisfied that
the affairs of this city would be
safe and secure in his hands; and,
as I before, I will not and do
not presume to dictate to any of
my friends what they shall do.
It is my belief that the welfare
of the city of Atlanta requires Al
dine Chambers’ election on the 15th
of October next. I would like to
see my friends support him.
(Signed) GEORGE BROWN.
The other statement is a letter to
Mr. Woodward, pledging his vote and
support. It is dated October 4. but Mr.
Woodward said it was not to be made
public until today. It says in part:
Pledges Aid to Woodward.
I wish to thus publicly notify you
and my friends that I shall openly
and earnestly support you in the
primary election that has been call
ed for the 15th Inst.
Your plurality of nearlj’ 600
votes was so decisive that it would
seem to me that you ought to be
given the nomination without fur
ther effort or discord. The law
that makes another election possi
ble applies to no other city in Geor
gia but Atlanta, and my recollec
tion is that the people by over 1,000
majority requested that the law be
repealed.
I again want to assure you of my
earnest support, and will aid you
in your campaign in any way pos
sible, and I earnestly hope and re
quest that my many friends who so
loyally stood by me will give you
the same kind of support in the
