PLANS TO HOT
Stanley Wants the Legislature to
Permit Department to Arbitrate
Capital-Workers Disputes.
Bv JAMES B NEVIN
Commission of Labor H. Al. Stan
ley likely will ask the incoming Leg
islature to increase the efficiency >f
the department of which lie Ik the
head, particularly In the matter of.
it* friendly intervention in disputes
between capital and labor, wherev r
he may have reason to believe that
hla services would be welcomed or
calculated to bring about a solution of
questions Involved.
This, in all probability, will open
the way to other propositions for leg
islative consideration, and somewher
along the line a compulsory arbitra
tion bill likely will be presented.
It Is too early to say what the new
Legislature will d<* with these sugg
’ions. It not only Is a new bod>
that is, composed largely of untried
material—but all Legislatures provor
bially are slow to assume attitudes in
ad\anco of the introduction of legis
lation touching the relation between
labor and capital
It perhaps Is safe enough to say,
howevere. that the chances of putt In
through a compulsory arbitration bill
re slim There Is a disposition to
think that the Department of Labor
eon Id be made to play a better part,
through amplification of its powe
and discretions in disputes between
eapital and labor in Georgia than
heretofore has been tssible. but there
Is no likelihood that the State Leg
islature would be willing to set up >
board of arbitration with compelling
powers.
It is possible that a provision for
spec ial boards in special cases might
be enacted—a board composed of one
representative each from the disput
ing parties, they to select a third —
with further provisions for making
binding tlie awards of such boards,
but ft is doubtful whether the Legis
lature would care to go further than
that.
There is little doubt, however, that
ihe entire question of the relations
between capital and labor in Georgia
will be opened wide in the next Gen
eral Assembly, and some genuinely
constructive legislation is anticipated.
It is certain now that Secretary of
the Navy Daniels and his party will
arrive in Savannah on board a Tinted
States destroyer from Port Royal.
S. C., at 6 o’clock Sunday evening.
May 11.
The Secretary and his wife, togeth
er with Mr. Palmer, will be driven at
once to the residence of Mr. and Mrs.
Pleasant A. Stovall, whose guests
they will be during their stay in Sa
vannah.
Later in the evening the North Car
olina Society, in Savannah, will take
Secretary Daniels out for an infor
mal dinner and smoker. Mrs. Daniels
will be taken charge by lady friends
at the same time.
The party will leave at 1:20 a. m.
the following morning for Raleigh. N.
C\, their home, over the Seaboard Air
Line Railway
Their stay in Savannah will there
fore only be about six hours, but the
program arranged will guarantee that
the friends of Secretary and Mrs
Daniels will see something of them at
that time.
Unless tlie new membership of the
Legislature produces something of u
surprise by way of a good dresser,
it now seems probable that Repre
sentative '‘Bob" Hardeman, of .let
ferson. will retain his well-earned
right and title to be known as the
Beau Bruinmel of the House."
Hardeman is a wonderful dresser.
IIis sartorial philosophy Is exact ami
altogether pleasing. On real hot days
-such as come inevitably when the
Georgia Legislature is in session
Hardeman is a human cucumber in its
most fetching make-up. He can de
liver a fifteen-minutes' speech, over
flowing with eloquence and emphasis,
vehement in appeal and animated in
gesture and then sit down, as cool
ns a cold storage plant and as free
of perspiration as a tadpole.
Hardeman never wilts a collar,
never mops his alabaster brow, and
never pants for breath, lie is always
and ever the same immaculate and
well-groomed "Bob.'
And the man in the next House, if
such man there be. who robs him of
his title will have to go some— that's
all'
Dr. Joe P Bowdotn. of Adalrsville,
who has just been elected grand high
priest of the Royal Arch Masons of
Georgia and grand master of the
Grand Council of the Royal and Select
Master Masons of Georgia, is one of
the most popular men In Northwest
Georgia, and has figured prominently
in the politics of that section for sev
eral years.
Time and again he has been men
tioned as prospective legislative ma
terial. but always has declined to be a
candidate. It may be that he will
stick to his resolve never to enter the
General Assembly—for his political
activity never has been personal to
himself—but if he should come either
to the House or the Senate he would
be a most valuable member.
The current issue of The Baxh y
Banner carries* the following interest
ing statement: "Senator R. Toombs
Du Bose, of Clarke County, will intro
duce at the next Legislature a bill
providing for a tax commission whose
duty it shall be to gather data on the
situation in the State, and, with the
aid of the Attorney General and
Comptroller, ait in reress, hear any
citizen who may wish to appear be
fore it and report to the next Legisla
ture recommending legislation which
the facts and conditions they find may
warrant Mr. DuBove is in thorough
accord with any plan to get better tax
laws enacted and to get definitely a
the situation he favors a commission.”
Apparently, the Stale press is no’
warming up particularly to the pro
posed re-offering of the Tippins bill
in the House of Representative?
The Slate press seem- to think i
f <•* • g*;' • noug ; of t ..,i' fit;.., .
sr Legi'*iutur . and tha: they won, I
setnbly if it would let them off ’his
