Augusta Is quiet today and no rioting is expected. The fact that all of the saloons are closed and no cars are being run after nightfall reduces the possibilities of disorder. Augusta is about as dry a town as any in Georgia. The action of the Central Trades council last night in agreeing to a prop ositio'n made at a meeting of citizens to appoint a mediation board composed of five men to try to bring about a set tlement of the car strike is expected to prevent a general strike in sympathy with the carmen. Nothing will be done further in regard to the sympathetic strike until next Wednesday night, when the trades council holds a regu lar semi-monthly meeting. If a call for a special meeting Is not Issued before that time. The guard at the power house has been doubled and would-be rioters, re membering the shooting of three citi zens by the militiamen some time ago, are not expected to start any trouble. The strike of carpenters and tinners that started yesterday has been in dorsed by the Central Trades council. Good citizens here from the ranks of the merchants, professional men. capi talists and tradesmen hope that Au gusta will soon be normal again U. S. Court Not Protecting Trains MACON.

Continued From Page One. may know who or what is subject tn criticism and its just condemnation “A railroad is a quasi public corpora tion —having devoted its property to the public use, the public has an intc est in its use and a right to insist that it be used for the public convenience. "A citizen who takes service with a public service corporation, in a meas ure and in a qualified sense, is a public officer and as such devotes his serv ices to the public, and should alway beat this in mind. “We know nothing of the merit., of tlijs controversy, but we do know th, public is interested in the results of this unfortunate controversy, which has brought about a total suspension to i of the services which it has a right to expect and demancT. and for the lack of which it is suffering. Somebody at Fault, Board Declares. "Somewhere, and by somebody, there is fault oi' blame worthiness. "The commission has all along appre- I eiated the delicacy of the situation and ■ the danger of embarrassment from anv I ill-advised action or effort on its part I in the premises and has heretofore in j stituted no inquiry, in the hope thiv i some settlement would be secured b> i tlie principals themselves or throug.i the efforts of mediators. "The commission does not desire even now or in the near future to mm e in the matter, and will not except un der a sense of duty. "It has therefore directed the chai man to closely watch the situation f i a while longer, and unless there be , resumption of service within a verv brief period, to issue a rule nisi, di rected to the Georgia railroad and the Atlanta Joint Terminals, requiring them !to show cause before it for'the pres- I ent suspension of their services to t I public." The Georgia road sent out train ,\'o 2 from Atlanta to Augusta at B;3i o'clock today, an hour late. No Fed eral officer was on the train, but it lefi I the Union station without any demon i stration and with the mails and severa I passengers on board. No trains were operated yesterday, though they were made up in Atlanta and Augusta an ; ready to leave. No reason for holding them was. given by the road officials. Says Half of Strikebreakers Quit. Union men say today that more than half of the strikebreaking workers em ployed in the joint terminal yards quit last night. Officials say this is untrue and that but a few men have left It was said by a union man yesterday afternoon that nearly all the men had signed an agreement to quit work last night. At . the office of Chairman Wicke - sham, of the terminals, it was sa today that the road would stand by i ■ agreement and take back all the st . ers for whom room could be found, but all could not be given work at this tiim Officials said they did not know just I how many men had quit work. Th,' I said J. B. Edvvaids, a conductor on the I Western and Atlantic, had got t > I strikebreakers together last night and I addressed them witli a view to pm- I suading them to leave.
