TJIK ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY. MAY 5. 101?,. I 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 time. 1 Florida to Honor Secretary of Navy ; Governor, Cabinet and Legislators to Meet Daniels in Pensacola T o-morrow.
