Danger of a General Strike of
Trainmen Passes When Arbitra
tion Agreement Is Signed,
RAILROAD MANAGERS RECEDE
Withdraw Demand That Griev
ances of Systems Against the
Unions Be Heard Jointly.
NEW YORK, July 28.—Arbitration
as provided by the Newlands amend
ment to the Erdman act was official
ly proclaimed the dove of industrial
peace to-day when the managers of
the Eastern railroads and the 82,000
conductors and firemen, who demand
a 20 per cent increase in pay, agreed
, to settle their differences amicably.
This means that all danger of a
general strike such as seemed inevita
ble for many weeks has passed. It is
a victory for the employees, as the
managers’ committee representing the
43 railroads involved receded from
their demand that the grievances of
the roads against the unions be con
sidered jointly with the wage ques
tion.
The agreement to arbitrate was
signed at the Manhattan Hotel to-day
in the presence of the Board of Me
diation. The next step will be the
appointment of the arbitrators, of
whom there will be six.
The Conductors and Trainmen’s
Unions, acting jointly, have selected
as their arbitrators Lucius E. Shep
pard, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the se
nior vice president of the Order of
Railway Conductors, and Daniel L*.
(’ease, for 22 years editor and mana
ger of The Railway Trainman, the of
ficial organ of the Brotherhood. Mr.
(’ease is a resident of Cleveland and
is on his way here. Mr. Sheppard is
already in the city.
The conference committee of mana
gers announced that they would name
two members on next Tuesday, and on
tha day the four arbitrators will hold
a meeting and endeavor to fix upon
two others. Should there be any dis-
ts-riisfaction concerning the selection
of the fifth and sixth members, the
new law provides that they be named
by the Board of Mediation.

Martha Washington
Ivy for D, A. R, Hall
Representatives of Thirteen Original
Colonies to Plant Slips About
’76 Memorial Portico.
WASHINGTON. July 26—Repre-
rentatives of the thirteen original col
onies will gather in Washington in
the early fall and plant an ivy taken
from Martha Washington’s garden at
Mount Vernon about the thirteen
monoliths that make the '76 memorial
portico of D. A. R. Hall.
Mrs. William Camming Story, pres
ident general of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, was visiting
Mount Vernon recently when the hap
py thought struck her of getting some
of the historic ivy for D. A. R. Hall.
After communicating with the regents
of Mount Vernon they gladly assented
to her wish and have agreed to fur
nish the s'lips for the D. A. R. plant-
Ing.
The D. A. R. in the thirteen original
States will select members from their
organization to do the planting for
them. Mrs Story, who is an ardent
horticulturist, will personally assist.

Sister of Senator Smith Outlines
Reasons for EnfranchisingThem
in Georgia—Will Enlist Teach
ers in Campaign for the Ballot.
“They say women who vote will
neglect their homes!”
Mrs. Frances E. Whiteside, Atlan
ta suffragist leader, threw out her
hands and laughed.
“Don’t you know,” she argued “that
women will not neglect their homes
and domestic duties to vote as quick
ly as they will for bridge and society
and their pleasures?”
She is a convincing advocate of
equal suffrage, is Mrs. Whiteside.
That is why they call her the “lead
er” in the Woman Suffrage League.
Mrs. Whiteside yesterday outlined in
general th© plans of the league, which
include a State-wide campaign, en
tailing probably a considerable
amount of stump speaking, in order
to prepare for a forceful petition to
the Legislature next year. The
league will become affiliated with the
national organization, which will aid
in the campaign in Georgia by send
ing capable speakers.
Many Teachers in Ranks.
Mrs. Whiteside told of the growth
of the suffrage movement in Atlanta.
Herself a school-teacher, she is
proudest of the fact that many school
teachers have joined the league.
“Next fall I will enlist 50 or 75
more,” she said.
Mrs. Whiteside, who is Senator
Hoke Smith’s sister, has been ac
tive in suffrage work for many years.
Her prominence as a public iigure
was enhanced last week when, at the
equal suffrage rally in Taft Hall, over
which Mrs. W. L. Peel presided, she
delivered a short speech that was the
feature of the evening.
The applause with which she was
greeted lasted for several minutes,
and the commendations of her speech
that subsequently have been heard
are numerous. Mrs. Whiteside’s
speech, reduced from outline, is:
‘The greatest problem of humanity,
to-day is the conservation of the hu
man race. Yet while that relic of
antiquity, the disfranchisement of
woman, remains in force, but little
real progress can be made.
“During the dark ages, when brute
force ruled, man guarded his home as
the wild beast his lair, and the wom
en bore the burdens of the world.
As civilization advanced, women still
bent to their tasks, and not until fac
tories, manufacturing plants and pub
lic industries deprived them of their
occupations did they seek opportu
nity in the broad arena outside of
home.
Pledge to Women.
“In 1786, when our Revolutionary
fathers were planning our Constitu
tion, Mrs. John Adams and the wives
of other patriots w r rote their hus
bands, ‘Do not forget the women in
this new charter of freedom.’ Nor
were the women forgotten in this
new Constitution, which reads ‘to se
cure the blessings of liberty to our
selves and our posterity, we do or
dain and establish this Constitution
for the United States of America.’
The bitterest anti must acknowledge
that women are ‘posterity.’
“Then I would ask, ‘Why are wom
en not voting?’ rather than ‘Why
should women vote?’ Woman has
been enslaved through her religious
beliefs. For centuries ministers and
elders have preached St. Paul to the
women, until ‘Let your women keep
silence in the churches’ has become
a veritable excommunication.
“Women dared not utter a remark
or express an opinion outside the
precincts of her own private dwelling.
Yet ^Christ was just to woman, to
the Magdaleen He said, ‘Neither will
I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.’
This, even though God had punish
ed David for his sin.
“There are to-day 8,000,600 of wom
en wage earners in the United States
alone, 8,000,000 of reasons why wom
en should vote. And many thou
sands of these women are in our own
State. Women, the world over, are
reformers: they are in the minority in
the vicious classes, in the majority
where there is work for the better
ment of the race. We ask you to aid
us that we in turn may aid you to
enact such legislation as to render
impossible such a tragedy as that
which horrified our city a few months
ago.
Nurses of tho Future.
“A few days ago at a big suffrage
rally in Houston. Tex., the speaker
was eloquently advocating the bal
lot for women, when a voice called
out from the audience, ‘When the
women go to the polls to vote, who
will take care of the babies?’
“ ‘The candidate,’ was the prompt
reply.
“It has been said that woman is
unfit for the battlefield, that she can
not serve on the police force, nor is
she suited for the Jury. How many
men face death on the battlefield?
Yet every moment 1 hundreds of wom
en are battling with death to bring
new lives into the world.
“To-day women are on the police
force, they are serving on the jury,
they are sheriffs, mayors, State su
perintendents of schools, county su
perintendents, city superintendents.
Wonderful is the change that the
last 50 years have wrought.
“One ounce of fact is worth a ton
of theory, and one State in which
equal suffrage has proved successful
bears more weight than all th e theo
retical anti-suffrage speeches since
time began.
“Recently, in Washington, a jury
Mrs. Prances E. Whiteside, sister of Senator Iloke Smith, who
is a leader in suffrage movement in Georgia. Mrs. Whiteside out
lined her views on question to mass meeting of 1). A. R. chapter.

Atlanta Postal Authorities Think
Recent Increase to Twenty
Is Only a Beginning.
Great commercial possibilities in
the parcel poet are s»*on through the
prospect of an increase in the pack
age limit to 100 pounds, which At
lanta postoffice authorities expect as
the next move of the Federal Postal
Department.
Beginning as an experiment with a
limit of eleven pounds, the parcel post
achieved a vogue that was unexpect
ed. Last week came Postmaster Gen-
feral Burleson’s announcement of the
proposed change in the weight of the
package limit to twenty pounds. In
Atlanta the announcement was re
ceived, accompanied by the following
statement:
“It was predicted that during the
first year of this new service 300,-
000,000 pieces would be handled. From
the data we have in hand, it is safe
to estimate that we will handle twice
that many.”
Atlanta clerks announced that the
limit would have been made 25 In
stead of 20 pounds had It not been
for the fact that the last adminis
tration stocked the department with
20-pound scales, and that the cost of
replacing them would have been too
great to ignore. Hereafter, they
give assurance, when scales are pur
chased. the limit capacity will be 100
pounds.
The average weight of haul of the
rural delivery wagons is 24 pounds,
and the average capacity is 400
pounds. It is therefore asserted that
there is much room for increased
service.
Opposing the increase in limit come
representatives of railroads who have
protested formally to the Interstate
Commerce Commission against the in
crease in size of the parcel post pack
ages on the ground that it would cost
them $20,000,000 of revenue annually
which they now receive from express
companies.
It was urged that in the enactment
of the parcel post law’ Congress al
lowed the railroads 5 per cent addi-
| tional pay for the increased business
thrust upon them, and that if the
proposed changes were made the
j roads would be entitled to a corre
sponding increase.

Collision With Handcar Results in
Serious Injury to Seaboard
Air Line Officials.
Rounding a curve at a rapid rate
just beyond Lilburn, on the the Sea
board Air Line, a motor inspection
car making the trip from Athens to
Atlanta, occupied by G. H. Furman,
general train master, of Abbeville, S.
C., and W. H. Hardin, chief inspector
of transportation, of Portsmouth, Va„
crashed into a hand car Saturday aft
ernoon.
Furman and Hardin, seeing that the
collision was inevitable, jumped. Fur
man landed in the limestone filling
beside the track. His face was badly
cut and he was severely shaken up.
Hardin was thrown violently to the
ground, sustaining a fractured hand
and dislocated right ankle, together
w’lth internal Injuries which mav
prove serious. The two men were
rushed to the Atlanta Hospital, w'here
they were placed under the care of
Dr. Frank Eskridge, physician for the
Seaboard.
The hand car was moving slowly,
which enabled the laborers on board
to Jump without Injury. Both cars
w ere completely demolished.
Dr. Eskridge stated at a late hour
Saturday night that he could not tell
how severe the internal injuries of
Mr. Hardin might prove.
Suffragists Plan
National Campaign

Will Aid Movement In All

WASHINGTON, July 26.—Plans for
a widespread campaign for "votes for
women” to be carried into all the
States of the Union not now having
suffrage w’ill be laid at a conference
of the National Council of Woman
Voters here August 13, 14 and 15. An
nouncement to this effect was made
to-day at the congressional commit
tee headquarters of the council.
of women was empaneled to sit upon
a breach of promise case. The wom
an plaintiff was suing for $5,000 dam
ages. The jury gave her $1 on the
ground that the man was a liability
rather than an asset, and she was
better off without him.
“Best Man” le Woman.
“The Chief of Police of Denver,
Colcv, says that his ‘best man’ is a
woman. In 1912 an ordinance was
passed giving the city control of the
dance halls, skating rinks and other
commercialized amusements. To Miss
Josephine Roche was assigned the
difficult task of inspector. From the
first the ‘lady ‘cop’ was an amaze
ment to the male police.
“She refused to consider these boys
as criminals; she carried neither club
nor gun, and the public feared for
her safety. On one occasion an abus
ive officer thrust himself into a dance
w’here he berated the young fellows
who were devoting themselves even
more to noise than to the dance. Nat
urally these sturdy Irishmen did not
relish reproof in the presence of their
best girls.
“The officer soon measured his
length upon the floor, and so thor
ough waJi the youth that he was
about to administer his ‘ ’steenth
punch,’ when Miss Roche appeared.
She rebuked the boys, rescued the
fallen officer and placed him on a
car. There were no further fears for
her safety.
"Mr. Neal’s picture of the hus
band’s tender care for his wife is a
beautiful one. If each husband plan
ned to keep well alw’ays, to make a
fine income, to live a long life and
then, when he had laid his wife
aw’ay, to lie down by her side, the
picture would be beautiful and com
plete. But—there are 8,000.000 of
wage-earning women in this coun
try, and we must look upon this pic
ture.
“We ask you to join our Woman
Suffrage League and bear your part
in this noble w’ork.”
Husband Held for
Fine Against Wife
Takes Place of Spouse as Defendant
to Disorderly Charge, and
Is Locked Upr"
Peyton Jones, No. 12 Myrtle street,
was held as hostage for five hours
while money was being raised to pay
the fine of $10 and costs that had been
assessed against his wife, Mollie
Jones, by Recorder Broyles.
The case against the Jones woman
was for disorderly conduct.
When the case was called Saturday
Peyton Jones appeared and declared
that inasmuch as his wife was sick he
was willing to take her place as de
fendant. So Judge Broyles heard the
evidence and fined the wice $10 and
cosris.
Jones made an exhaustive search of
his pockets and found that he lacked
several dollars of having’ enough
money to pay his wife out of jail. So
he was locked up in.tne cellhousc* and
stayed there for five hours, serving
his wife’s sentence, untii friends came
to his aid with the necessary money.
ST. LOUIS. July 26.—An ordinance

This ordinance has had the back
ing of the union waiters of St. Louis,
who are now striking in the principal
hotels and restaurants. The bill pro
vides a fine of from $T0 to $50 for
each offense, both the “tipper” and re
cipient of the “tip” being subject to
