Many are wondering whether Judge H. A. Mathews, of the Superior Court, Will take cognizance of the Central Labor Union’s resolution. Some hold that the union men may be adjudged in contempt of court for their ac- Uon. The resolutions particularly per tain to the Law Enforcement League's petition for permanent in junction against fifteen saloons and to Judge Mathews’ action in desig nating the prices at which ice may be sold in Macon. Already one of the petitions against the saloons has been granted, and the saloon has been put out of business by a permanent injunction. The oth er petitions are pending in court and set for hearing in November. As to the ice proposition, Judge Mathews acted on the petition of the Southern Ice Company against the Atlantic Ice and Coal Company, the Macon branch of a big Southern combine, and fixed a scale of prices. The Southern Ice Company alleged that the other and older and stronger company was cutting rates so low ihat it would be forced out of busi ness, and asked for an injunction. The Judge granted only a temporary or der. but arranged prices that must obtain during the entire ice season. 35 to Cross Hot Sands of Desert Savannah Shriners to Initiate Candi dates in Columbus Sep tember 24.
