TTEARST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA, GA., SUNDAY, JULY 27, 1913. 5 A 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.

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.

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.

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. :1 HURT Waiters Back of Bill To Prevent‘Tipping’ Measure Provides Fine for Both ‘Tip per’ and Recipient of Bounty, and Reward for Informer. 1 _ 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.

Suffragists Plan National Campaign Women Who Now Possess Franchise Will Aid Movement In All Other States. 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.
