THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY. MAY 5, 101f 1 JIDPIP DllPrUII Florida to Honor Pfiniv rnwTF^T LHuUn DUflLHlJ Secretary of Navy rum ullli 1 Ld 1 WE TO ICT US I 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 | Governor, Cabinet and Legislators to Meet Daniels in Pensacola To-morrow. PKNKaCO: a FI A , 1.1a., ... I reiary 0- the Navy Josephuf* Dan- I ic's, a. companied by Mrs. Daniels and I his aide, Commander Palmer, pnasod through Pensacola last night en route to New Orleans.

Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. PARIS, May 6.—A simple* way in which passengers in a runaway auto can Mtop the machine is suggested by a distinguished French mechanical engineer What he urges is the in- Btalation at the back seat of the auto of a contrivance for controlling the spark magneto in case the chauffeur becomes sick or dies or is thrown out of the machine.

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.
