Stanley Wants the Legislature to
Permit Department to Arbitrate
Capital-Workers Disputes.
By JAMES B NEVIN.
Commission of Labor H. M. Sian
ley likely will ask the incoming: Leg:
islature to increase the efficiency ->f
the department of which he is the
hfsad, particularly in the matter of
its friendly intervention in disputes
between capital and labor, wherever
he may have reason to believe thnt
his services would be welcomed or
calculated to bringr about a solution of
questions involved.
This, in all probability, will open
the way to other propositions for leg-
laiatlve consideration, and somewhere
along: the line a compulsory arbitra
tion bill likely will be presented.
It is too early to say what the* new
Legislature will do with these sugar 1
tlons. It not only is « new body *
That is. composed largely of untried
material—but all Legislatures prover
bially are slow to assume attitudes in
advance of the introduction of legis
lation touching the relation between
labor and capital.
It perhaps Is safe enough jto say.
howevere. that the chances «.f putting
through a compulsory arbitration bill
»re slim. There is a disposition to
think that the Department of Labor
could be made to play a better part,
through amplification of its powers
and discretions, in disputes between
capital and labor in Georgia than
heretofore has been "osslble. but there
Is no likelihood that the State Leg
islature would be willing to set up a
board of arbitration with compelling
powers
It is possible that a provision for
special 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 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 Georgia
will be opened wide in the next Gen
era! 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 United
States destroyer from Port Koyal,
ft 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.
Pleaaant 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 ajid amoker. Mrs. Dapiels
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.
< \, 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 ne>y membership of the
legislature produces something of a
surprise by way of a good dresser,
it now’ seems probable that Repre
sentative “Bob' Hardeman, of def
ferson, will retain his well-earned
right and title to be known as the
• Beau Brummel of the House'
Hardeman is r 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 w4th 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 He is al\va>s
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

Dr Joe P Bowdoln of Adairsville.
w ho has just been elected grand high
priest of the Royal Arch Masons of
Georgia and grand master of the
Grand Uouncil of the Royal and Select
Master Mason* 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 Baxley
Banner carrier the following interest
ing statement: "Senator R Toombs
DuBoFe, 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, sit in recess, 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. DuBose is in thorough
accord with any plan to get better 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 pr<>
posed re-offering of the Tippins bill
in the House of Representatives.
The State press seems to think L
people got enough of that fight in rt

Such a contrivance, lie says, should
