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.

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. Mi Wickersham's published state ment that the terminal strike was a sympathetic one is not m accordance with the facts," mid Mr. Sines today \L e do not go on sympathetic strikes The trainmen and eonductots have mt engaged In a strike of any magni tude in seven years, except that on the Grand Trunk two vears ago We 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 ISBRUKENUPIN shobtorder 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 edge. the superintendent, did not teach them anything, but instead made the ■“■■■L.-.J !J ■■ J "Law Brofhtrt for Imported Velour Hats | For refined elegance the imported Velours are unsurpassed in new Fall Hat stylos for men.

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.” WOMAN IS FINED S3OO FOR KILLING SPOUSE DANVILLE.

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 coming election.
