nil-, ATLANTA UKOKCIAX AM) XIAVri. u CABLE NEWS Dr. Hall Delights Auditorium Audience Time Here for Employers to Take Heed of Voters They Are Making, By B. C. FORBES. "Ail progress is forced by the mob." * * • That was the statement snarled at me by a workman. * * * , “The rich never budge until they are forced to,“ he added. “Universi ties don’t advocate reforms until the people have clamored for them and are far on the road to getting them.” * * * These blunt assertions are worth thinking over by the capitalistic classes in America, especially by thosr? who are striving might and main to stem the tide of progress toward applied democracy. The “mob” sooner or later has its way. The more it is crushed, the longer it is unfairly treated, the more radi cal its revenge—recall the French Revolution, thfe overthrow of various dynasties in modern times, the social revolution now going on in Britain. * * • Reactionaries in this country should not shut their eyes to the handwrit ing on the wall. The farther the scale of justice is depressed on one side the greater its rebound. * * • Among those who specially need to consider their ways and readjust their attitude are: Employers who pay starvation w ages. Owners of sweatshops. Manufacturers who exploit child labor. Corporations who, through monop oly. patents or other means, rob the public. Financiers who rake in millions from railroad and other corporations which they control. Directors who use their office to cheat other security holders through wpecuiation in the shares of their companies. Bankers who are foolishly trying to stop the Federal Government from controlling the nation’s cur rency system and who want to run things their own way. Railroads which have been ex ploited for the pockets of a few In siders instead of being ru® for the service of the public. Corporations which adhere to se crecy—no doubt for very potent rea- I sons. Politicians who aspire to ride above the wishes of the “common people” and who fear what they term “mob rule." Judges and legislators of the stripe that fatten their bankrolls by liberal remittances from Standard Oil and other corruptionists. Promoters who foist questionable and worthless securities on the pub lic. Bankers who are opposed to form ing a proper system of credit for the nation's farmers. The Coal Barons, who still do as they please. The “mob” are bent upon reforms touching all these. * 9 * Many responsible financiers are beginning to see straight. Others are still blind. Recent events have opened a few eyes. The once-arro- gant house of Morgan & Co. has been brought to its knees over the New Haven scandal. The once-overbear ing Standard Oil gang has been brought to its senses and is now spending sleepless nights over its sins —because found out. The latest wreckers of Railroads have had an uncomfortable time. Politicians of the “stand-pat” kind have been put to rout. Corporation managers who used to trample upon their workmen ajid upon the public have learned a lesson, although many of them are still obdurate. * * # The vote of John D. Rockefeller. J. P. Morgan, George F. Baker, or Jaooff Schiff counts for no more than the vote of the workman with whom I talked. And there are more work men than there are Rockefellers, j Morgans. Bakers and Schiff?. * * * Give tlie “mob” a square ilea!. Grant them reasonable concessions VOLUNTARILY. Do not wait until they FORCE fair play, for when they 110 they are apt to take revenge for what thev were unjustly deprived of. * * • Not long ago an interview with a 111 : Ik-wagon drivor was printed >11 thi.- olumn. In It he peladed for more humane treatment. I have since been in touch with the corporation em ploying him, and hope to be able to chronicle one gratifying case of con- ■rssions being granted voluntarilly. The trouble with many companies is that they do not THINK enough about the kind of voters they are making of their men. « « . Is it not tipie for employers to lake stock of the kind of voters they are making of their men? Burlesque Theater Opening Postponed The Columbia Theater, the home of burlesque In Atlanta, will not open to-night, as advertised.

Haight, representing the Liverpool Bill of Lading Conference Committee, announces that European cotton interests have taken final ac tion toward the permanent organiza tion of the Cotton Bills of Lading Central Bureau and the uniform and permanent use of that bureau for the protection of the cotton trade against forged documents.

S. IS AIM OF Georgia Farmers Join Committee in Planning for Success of Atlanta Exhibition. Arrangements for the annual Geor gia Corn Show, under the auspices of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, will be discussed by the com show committee of the chamber, of which H. G. Hastings is chairman, at a meeting to be held this week. The committee has already decided to hold the show during the first week in De cember In the corridors* of the State Capitol. Responses which corn growers of Georgia are making to the appeals of the committee and the Chamber of Commerce indicate the show this year will eclipse any that, has yet been held. Farmers are taking greater in terest in the exhibition than ever be fore. Both Mr. Hastings and W. H. Leahy, aetin gsecretary of the Cham ber of Commerce, receive letters daily from all parts of the State requesting Information about the show. “We expect to have one of the best corn shows in America In Atlanta in December.” said Mr. Leahy Monday morning, “and if the interest that the growers are manifesting can be taken as a criterion of what the show will be, our expectations will be realized. The corn yield in Georgia this year' L larger in quantity and better In qual ity than ever before in the history of the State, and the exhibits of the farmer at the corn fihow will be proof of the fact that Georgia is living in an era of unequaled prosperity. “If the present rate of increase keeps up it will be only a few years before Georgia become? one of the best corn-producing States in the Union. The action of Georgia farm ers in recent years, in raising more corn and turning their attention to diversification of crops instead of de pending altogether on cotton, is trace able directly to the influence, of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce and the corn shows that originated with the chamber. These corn shows have proven to the farmer that it is possi ble to grow as good corn in Georgia as anywhere else, and that they are alive to their opportunity is proven by the annually increasing yield of grain.” Atlanta music lovers heard one of the best programs of the year at the Auditorium Sunday afternoon when I-Yederick Hall, of Kaddon Heights, N.

COTTON GOSSIP WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.—There was af steady increase in the scale of wages paid to labor In this countrj’ in the past six years. This was ac complished in the face of a steady re duction in the working hours of labor. The Department of Labor reports that labor now is receiving more re muneration for fewer hours of toil than ever before.

CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 15.—Weather developments over Sunday were as pre dicted ami distinctly favorable. The map this morning shows part cloudy to fair in Texas and Oklahoma; only a little precipitation at a few’ points. Gen- erally cloudy in the Central and East ern States, with a general rainfall, light to moderate, except heavy in the Mo bile district. There was no storm, mere ly a rain formation moving from Texas eastward. Rains are needed in the Eastern States after ten days of d a weather. Indications an* for generally fair W’eather in the Western States, ex cept possibly a few light showers in Northeast Texas; cloudy unsettled and rainy weather in the eastern half of the belt. The opening here was about 12 points higher in sympathy with New York and the strongly bullish disposition there controlled the market throughout the morning New York wires that the buying is on reports of damage. Such reports are usual, wherever there is a rainy spell at this period. While these rains lower the grade ol current pick ings, they are beneficial to crop develop ment and lowering of grades is really no bull argument, as loAver grades are more subject to the competition of cheaper cotton of other growth, such as Indian cotton. The permium for better grades will undoubtedly advance, while this rainy spell lasts. The detailed Govern ment weather records show a heavy rainfall Saturday in the Central States# Louisiana.

Shipments for the week show a gum over those of the same period a year ago, and sales by our traveling representatives surpass those of any corresponding week for a number of years. A general advance in the prices of domestics has been announced and the market continues firm, jvith an upward tendency, and there is "good call f or this merchandise at the higher prices. There also has been a strengthening of prices on print cloths a*.d on some lines of ginghams. Salesmen have gone out during the week to hook orders for spring busi ness on ginghams, knit underwear, muslin underwear, gloves, hosiery and linens. Hosiery can not be imported in the same quantities and qualities as were possib’e two years ago on account of the increased cost of materials and labor in Europe The advance in the cos' of material and labor entering Into kid gloves for spring will offset any reduction that has yet been contemplated in tariff schedules Still further increase is probable in the cost of skirts, as an im portant portion of the medium qualities of skins come from countries in Europe where the flocks have been devastated by the Bulgarian war- ATLANTA LIVE STOCK MARKET.
