Dr. Thomas H. Hancock, half owne) of the hospital, declared that if the.- , did not report for duty by noon toda they would not be allowed to report all. Fourteen nurses struck, Miss A. Dunmar:, who had but two more month.- to serve before receiving her diplont being the leader. At 11 o clock th'. | morning two reported for duty, but the others declare they will never go back They'll Take in Washing First. Miss Deila Cochran, one of the old; r nurses, said: •We'll go home and pick cotton, or wash, o' 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 has yet received a dip'oma. 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. Didn't Have Phones Before. Says Doctor. “I doubt If more than two of the fourteen had telephones in their own tomes before they came to the hos pital,” said Dr. Hancock In speaking of ’he strike. The girts 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 ‘ dge. the superintendent, did not teach ” anything, but instead made the older student nurses instruct the younger ones.

Noted North Georgia Mountaineer Slain on Top of Bald Mountain Coroner’s Jury Unable to Solve Mystery of Charley Tifton's Death in Fannin County. • ELLIJAY. GA., Oct. 9.—Charley Tip ton. a noted moonshiner of the north Georgia mountains, is dead. A cot- > oner’s jury has been unable to clear 1 up the mystery of just when and bv > whom he was killed. The general im- • pression here is that. Tipton, who was known as a desperate character, was shot to death by mountain clansmen : vho had some hidden grievance against 3 him. ’ Tipton was famous in this section • for his exploits as a moonshiner. He had been frequently arrested by rev enue officers for illicit distilling. News of Tipton’s death was brought here from the Bald mountain section, in a remote part of Fannin county. Children in that region by accident I found his dead body on top of the mountain. He apparently had been dead several days. He was shot to death while sitting on a log. there being two bullet holes through his body. His I coat was found lying on the log be side the body. Tipton was a man of unusual size and strength.

The commission last night voted unanimously to "commend the chief 1• >r his courage and bravery, and pledged to him Its hearty support in the en forcement of law." Thi- action fol lowed a lively debate as to the n -ea sily of any action at all by the com mission. some of the commissioners de claring the chief had merely done his duty and lliai it was not essential that the commission formally commend him every time he does his duty Ma'or Winn, Commissioners B. Iwe Smith. Vernoy, Johnson, Garner and McEeuchem all Insisted, however, that "it is up to the commission” lo form ally stand by the chief in a matter like the closing of the tenderloin. On motion of Mayor inn, the commission went on record as backing the chief. Commissioner Johnson created a stir by urging that all laws be enforced and sugg. .-ling that the police stop women from v i-iting locker clubs "We should enforce all laws, or wipe i hem off of the statute books," asserted Mr. Johnson. Some of the i ommls“i no r- disagreed with Mr Johnson, however, remarking that there is no necessity of digging up a lot "f obsolete ' blue" laws for enfonemem such as Ihe stopping ot trolley ears and closing of soda founts on Sunda v.

IXTRA 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE NO STRIKE ON OTHER LINES SHY ONION ELMERS Trainmen Declare Conference Here Today Not to Consider Sympathetic Walkout. NO EFFORT TO RUN TRAINS UNDER U. S. INJUNCTION Fulton Sheriff Awaits Official Notice of Court's Action. • There'll Be No Trouble.” "Tlmre is no probability of a sti ik ? or other ruilroads in sympathy with tha. on the Georgia. I will go further anr. sny there i.- no possibility of such a strike," said G. H. Sines, vice president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Train men, today. Mr. Sines is In Atlanta for a conference, with leaders of the train , men 'and conductor s. I here will ho a conference here to dn- with representatives of the na- Itional organizations of conductors and jl ainmen and the chairmen of all locals , on roads running into Atlanta,” he con- I 'ruled "When such a conference oc- I oiii s there is always an impression ir the public mind that a strike is con templated. T'. nt 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 ■i> spite the Federal injunction issued by fudge G übb yesterday restraining the union men from Interfering with the mails. At the postoffice, officials of the mail service said they had not been in formed of any intention of operating mail trains today and were routing their Augusta mail bv other roads, as for the past week. Unions Resent Action Os Federal Officials. I nion men resent the action of Fed eral offi< is in serving officials of thr unions v.ilii copies of the injunction writ. There has not been the shadow of an accusation that we or any of the union men have offered to molest a t ain or inie'fere with Its operation,’ said Mr. Sines. It is true that all disorder following the strike lias been caused by oerson c along the line of the road, friends and relatives of the strikers, while the union men themselves have refra’ned from disturbance. Some of them may have pa ticipat’d in the disorder in the I'nion -’ation last Sunday, but this can not be stated as a fart. Vai Fitzpatrick, of Indianapolis, one of the national officers of the train men's organization, is in Atlanta with Mr. Sines and will be present at th" conference. Officers Murdock am Gregg, of the two unions involved, at" quoted as saying in Augusta that thf conference Is called fo' the purpose of considering "the arbitrary attitude o the officials in the matter of the At lanta terminal!-, the diversion of freight and other matters of extreme impor tance to every road in Atlanta." Terminal Issue Blocks Mediation. While it is said no strike is contem plated. it i,« known that trainmen or other roadp resent the fact that the) are required virtually to assist in break ing the Georgia strike by handling freight over their lines which have been diverted fiom the Georgia, thereby re lieving that system of the clamor ol shippets Should they be ordered to gc into tile yards of the Georgia road ano move freights off its tracks it is prob able they would refuse. All such freight has been handled by the sti ikebreakin, employees of the joint terminals for thi past few days. The Atlanta joint terminals, com posed of the West Point, the Louisvill and Nashville and the Georgia road, r* fu-ed )• sieidav afte noon to take bacl iln 4o employees who went out whe the trainmen struck.
