TO STOP STRIKE
AUGUSTA. GA.. Oc. 12.-With five
the National Guard under
arms. 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

“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

It is known that a nutr.be; of the men I
now employed in the yards are not I
