Stanley Wants the Legislature to
Permit Department to Arbitrate
Capital-Workers Disputes.
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
Commission of Labor H. M. Stan
ley likely will ask the Incoming Leg
islature to increase the efficiency of
the department of which lie is the
head, particularly In the matter of
its friendly intervention In disputes
between capital and labor, wherever
he may have reason to believe that
his sendees would he 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 somewhere*
along the line a compulsory arbitra
tion bill likely will be presented.
It is too early to sav what the new
Legislature will do with these sugges
tions. It not only Is a new body—
that is. composed largely of untried
material—but all Legislatures prover
bially are alow to assume attitudes in
advance of the introduction of legis
lation touching the relation between
labor and capital.
It perhaps Is safe enough to say,
bowevere. that the chances of putting
through a compulsory arbitration bill
are slim. There is a disposition to
rhink that the Department of Labor
could he made to play a better pari,
through amplification of its powers
and discretions, in disputes between
capital and labor in Georgia than
heretofore has been possible, but there
Is no likelihood that the Slate Leg
islature would bV willing to set up a
board of arbitration with compelling
powers.
It is possible that a provision for
•pedal boards in special oases 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 the awards of such boards,
but it is doubtful whether the Legis
lature would care to go further than
that.
There is little doubt, however, that
the entire question of the relations
between capital and labor In Georg I \
will be opened wide In the next Qcn-
nra! Assembly, and some genuinely
constructive legislation is anticipated.
It is certain now' that Secretary of
the Navy Daniels and his party will
• rrive in Savannah on board a United
States destroyer from l*ort Royal,
S. C., at 6 o’clock Sunday evening,
tfay 11.
The Secretary and his wife, togeth
er with Mr. 1’aimer, 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.
■ he following morning for Raleigh, N.
O.. 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 the new membership of the
Legislature produces something of a
surprise by way of a good dresser,
it now seems probable that Repre
sentative “Rob” Hardeman, of Jef
ferson. will retain his well-earned
right and title to be known as tho
■ Boau Brummel of the House.”
Hardeman is a wonderful dresser.
His sartorial philosophy is exact and
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
as 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, lit* 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 .Toe P. Bowdoin, of Adalrsville,
w ho has just been elected grand high
priest of the Royal Arch Masons of
Georgia and grand master of the
Grand Council of the Rovnl 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 n
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 Baxley
Banner carrier the following interest
ing statement: "Senator R. Toombs
DuBose, of Clarke County, will intro
duce at the next Legislature a bill
providing for a tax commission whose
duty it shall he to gather data on the
situation in the State, and, with the
aid of the Attorney General and
Comptroller, sit in recess, hear any
citizen who may wish to appear be
fore it and report to the next Legisl.-.-
Ture recommending legislation which
r he facts and conditions they find may
warrant. Mr. DuBone is in thorough
accord with any plan to get hetter tax
laws enacted and to get definitely at
The situation he favors a commission.”
Apparently, the State press is not
warming up particularly to the pro
posed re-offering of the Tippins bill
in the House of Representatives.
The State press seems to think the
people got enough of that fight in th
ast Legislature, and that they would
be much obliged to the General As
sembly if it would let them off this
time

Such a contrivance, he say s. should

broken only in case of emergency.

Attracts Record Attention.
Never before in the South bus a
newspaper contest attracted the at
tention that the Georgian and Amer
ican’s pony outfit contest is drawing
Nominations come in by telegraph,
telephone and mall. Nearly 100 con
testants already are in the race, and
It Is likely that the number will be
greatly Increased within a few day*.
An early start is a great advan
tage. Late comets are at something
of a disadvantage, and as the Geor
gian and American want to see all
on an even footing, it is hoped that
if you contemplate backing a candi
date, you will send in the name of the
boy or girl at once.
By far the most entrants are from
Atlanta, of course, for eight ponies
are to be given away in Atlanta alone.
But look at the list of towns in Geor-
l.i which are represented—a partial
list, riot corrected up to the minute.
Every mall brings more, but here are
few:
Even Come From Alabama.
Lithonia, Decatur, Blakeley, Fi.
AJcPherson, Union City, Forsyth
Rome, Sparta, Barnesvllle, Fayette
ville and Bolton.
Then from outside ihe State, auch
widely separated localities as Ander
son, S. O., and Piedmont, Ala., are
represented.
In answer to many Inquiries, the
subscription books for the use of
contestants, now are ready and may
be had on application.
These books contain nil the rules
of the contest, the limits of the dis
tricts, subscription rates and votes
credited for subscriptions of various
lengths. Contestants, upon Recuring
a new subscription, fill out a page
one of these books which gives
the subscriber a receipt, is a voucher
for a certain number of votes for the
contestant and a record for our offices
to assure the new patron that lie will
get his paper promptly and at the
right address.
Made Easy for Contestants.
Everything is being made easy for
tho contestants, and you never saw
anything more convenient than these
books.
Coupons good for votes are appear
ing dally in the Georgian. Many
shrewd contestants already are sav
ing them, and getting their friends
to save them. Remember, in the
daily Georgian, each coupon is valued
at five votes, and in the Sunday
American, the coupon Is worth fifteen
votes. From seven consecutive pa
pers, you can get 45 votes, and 45
votes weekly will help win a prize.
Here is a word for parents who
perhaps have been contemplating the
purchase of a pony for the children:
Do not overlook the Georgian and
American offer. You intend of course
to buy a good pony. But the Geor
gian and American have used the
services of an expert in picking the
twelve to be given as prizes. This
Is service you could not get, or af
ford if you could get it, in the pur
chase of one pony.
DISASTROUS FIRE SWEEPS
MOLINO, NEAR PENSACOLA
PENSACOLA, FT, A.. May 5.—A
disastrous fire occurred at Moll no, 20
miles from here on the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad, last night, sever
al business houses being entirely de
stroyed. It is Impossible to learn the
value of the property destroyed. The
Mollno Mercantile Company’s store, a
moat market, a blacksmith shop, a
restaurant, an Ice house and one res
idence burned.
In your hand you hold a
five-cent piece.
Right at the grocer’s hand
is a moisture-proof pack
age of Uneeda Biscuit. He
hands you the package—
you hand him the coin.
A trifling transaction?
No! A remarkable one—for you
have spent the smallest sum that
will buy a package of good food;
and the grocer has sold you the
most nutritious food made from
flour—as clean and crisp and
delicious as it was when it came
from the oven.
