I TTTE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. 11 CAPITAL MUST L Time Here for Employers to Take Heed of Voters They Are Making. By B. C. FORBES. "All 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 m America, especially by those 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, the overthrow of various dynasties in modem 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 wages. Owners of sweatshops. Manufacturer* 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 speculation in the shares of their companies. Bankers who are foolishly trying to stop the Federal Government from controlling the nation’s cur-1 Mrs. Pearson's Voice Charms Audiences Mrs. Frank Pearson. the best- known singer in Atlanta, will sing this evening at the banquet to be given in the Ansley Hotel, In honor of Mr. Fred K.

The “mob” are bent upon reforms touching all these. * * * Many* responsible financier* 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 gdng has been brought to it* senses and is now spending sleepless night* ofter 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 u*ed to trample upon their workmen and 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 Jaeoff Schlff counts for no more than the vote of the workman with whom I talked. And there are more work men than there are Rockefellers, Morgans, Bakers and Schlffs * * • Give the “mob” a square deal. Grant them reasonable concessions VOLUNTARILY. Do not wait until they FORCE fair play, for when they do they are apt to take revenge for what they were unjustly deprived of. ♦ • • Not long ago an interview with a milk-wagon driver was printed in this column. 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 cessions being granted voluntarily. The trouble with many companies is that they do not THINK enough about the kind of voter# they are making of their men. 0 • • . Is it not time for pmployprs to take stork of the kind of voters they arc making of their men: COTTON NEW YORK, Sept. 16.—Trading at the opening of the cotton market to day wan brTak ana first prices were at a net advance of 7 to 14 points from Sat urday’s closing quotations Those work ing for an advance were encouraged oy the continuous rains in Texas, which It Is believed have oeaten out a lot of cot ton and lowered the grade. Liverpool shocked the leeilngs of the bear contingent d> meeting the full ad vance due before the local market opened, with spots equally as blah.

Shipments for the week show a gain over those of the same period a year ago, and saies by our traveling representatives surpass those of any corresponding w’eek for a number of years. A general advance .n the prices of domestics has been announced and the market continues firm, s with an upward tendency, and there is good call for this merchandise at the higher prices. There also has been a strengthening of prices on print cloths and on some lines of ginghams. Salesmen have gone out during the week to book orders for spring busi ness on ginghams, knit underwear, rnuslin underwear, gloves, hosiery and linens. Hosiery can not. be imported in the -ante 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 cost 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 skins, 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, MINING STOCKS.

Enthusiasm IsRunningHigh In Pedalmobile Contest (&(( “Gee, ain’t it a peach! Couldn’t I speed some if T had one of them! How many are you going to give away, Mister?” These are some of the remarks to be heard around The Georgian Office where the big red “Georgian Flyer” is on exhibition—the one just like The Hearst’s Sunday American and Atlanta Georgian will give to each boy and girl who secures forty new subscrip tions to the paper before October 1. There are many earnest workers and the subscriptions are coming fast. It would only be a wild guess now’ to say who will win the first fifteen cars and receive the Charter Membership Certificates to the Atlanta Pedal mobile Racing Club. These Cer tificates will entitle the holder to compete in any or all races and events to be held in the near future. Pedalmobile Clubs are to be found in many of the large cities, having been promoted by some of the largest and best newspapers in the country. This sort of sport may be new in At lanta, but in many particulars the Pedalmobile races are to the children what the Auto races are to the grown-ups. In fact, they are handled a good deal on the same order and are interesting to the parents as well as the children. These little machines are not to be confined to pleasure alone, but can be put to good use in many different ways. In some cities carrier boys wdio have won Pedalmobiles may be seen distributing their papers in them. All these cars are well-made and serviceable and will surely gladden the heart of any boy or girl who is fortunate enough to w r irt one. These cars are now on exhibition in the window of O. C. Polk Dry Goods Store, 29 South Gordon Street; South Pryor Tee Cream Parlor, 353 South Pryor Street, and Imperial Tire and Tube Company, 349 Peachtree Street. While attending the Odd- and-Ends Sale at Polk’s Dry Goods Company, be sure to notice the “Georgian Flyer” in the window. OUTSIDE WORKERS.
