THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWE.
PUNS TO ACT
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 aak the incoming Leg
islature to Increase the efficiency of
the department of which he I* the
head, particularly In the matter of
It* friendly Intervention In dispute*
between capital and labor, wherever
h# may have reason to believe that
hit 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 conelders^lon. 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 do with these sugges
tions. It not only Is a new body —
that Is, composed largely of untried
material—hut all Legislatures prover
bially are alow to assume attitudes In
advance of the Introduction of teg.s-
latlon touching the relation between
labor and capital.
It perhaps Is sale enough to Kay,
howevere, that the chances of putting
ihrough a compulsory arbitration bill
are slim. There Is a disposition to
think that the Department of Labor
ould be made to play a better part,
through amplification of Its powers
snd discretions. In disputes between
capital and labor In Georgia than
haretofore has been •■'ossible, but there
Is no likelihood that the (State I.eg-
Islsture would be willing to set up a
board of arbitration with compelling
power*.
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 award* of such boards,
but It is doubtful whether the Legis
lature would care lo 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 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.
l>ater in the evening the North Car
olina Society, In Savannah, will take
Secretary Daniels out for an Infor
mal dinner and smoker. Mrs. Daniel*
will be taken charge by lady friend*
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 he about six hours, but the
program arranged will guarantee that
the frienda 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 "Bob’ Hardeman, of .Jef
ferson. will retain his well-earned
right end title to be known as the
Beau Brummel of the House "
Hardeman is a wonderful dresser.
His sartorial philosophy is exact and
altogether pleasing. On real hot days
-such us come inevitably when the
Georgia Legislature is In session—
Hardeman is a human cucumber In its
most fetching make-up. lie can de
liver a fifteen-minutes' speech, over
sowing with eloquence and emphasis,
vehement in appeal and animated in
gesture—and then sit down, us cool
ab 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 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:

Time and again he has been men

candidate It may be that he will
stick to his resolve never to enter the

activity never has been personal to

to the House or the Senate he would
be a moat valuable member

Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian,
PARIS, May 6.— A simple wav In

a distinguished French mechanical

spark magneto In case* the chauffeur
becomes sick or dies or is thrown
out of the machine.
Such a contrivance, he says, should

By far the most entrants are from
Atlanta, of course, for eight ponies

But look at the list of towns in Geor

DISASTROUS FIRE SWEEPS

PF.NSACOLA, FLA., May 5.—A
disastrous fire occurred at Molino, 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
Molino Mercantile Company’s store, a
meat 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

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.
