Till. AUiA*S 1x1 .Li\.D iNJliWS, L PUNS TO SET 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 air 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 last Legislature, and that they would Le xnuen obliged to the General \ - *embW if -Mid jet them off thli* 1 ime. v- ’ Florida to Honor Secretary of Navy Governor, Cabinet and Legislators to Meet Daniels In Pensacola To-morrow. PENSACOLA. FLA., May 5. Sec retary of the Navy Josephus Dan iels, accompanied by Mrs. Daniels and his aide, Commander Palmer, passed through Pensacola last night en route to New Orleans.

Has a Way to Stop Wild Automobiles Install Contrivance for Controlling Spark Magneto, Urges French Expert. Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. PARTS, May 5.—A simple way In which passengers in a runaway auto can atop the machine is suggested by a distinguished French mechanical engineer.

In your hand you hold a five-cent piece. Right at the grocer’s hand is a moisture-proof pack age of Uaeeda Biscuit. He hands you the package— you hand him the coin. A trifling transaction? No!
