ATLANTA TRAFFIC
f . "nie of the new traffic ordi-

Joint

came extremely uncertain on account
cl a inited opposition to some of its
matures by society women who drive
automobiles.
Many members of Council declared
Monday that they were being- sub-
1, ,'ted to a pressure they were power-

t r many conflicting currents of po-

their own machines have been visit

teiei'hon 0 to protest t/at the new
law against parking automobiles iti
downtown districts would abso-
. ; o!> spoil their shopping
T -f fight of the women ns gained
impressive support in the persons of
i ;r rarls of a number of big stores,
one f i he arguments for the new

i •• trade <»f departments stores by
rieariug the entrances of parked au
tomobiles awl make entrances easier.
The attitude of some of the store
heads that they are opposed to dis
turbing the leisurely women shop-
j,pps who drive their machines and

las given a number of members of
Out il a bewildered feeling, espe-
riallv since many of the women have
railed in person and demanded pro-
teciion.
Public Hearing Likely.
T>re seems to be little doubt that
t . new law will be referred to a spe
ll 1 c ommittee of Council for a pub-
i;iring. Whether the provision
pi tihiting the parking of machines
in ajij one block for more than
thirty minutes within limits in
cluding the whole downtown shopping
district will he stricken if a matter
of doubt, hut the activities of the
women practically assures the elimi
nation of the feature making it il
legal to leave a machine at all with
out a chauffeur on Peachtree and
Whitehall and several tributary
streets. It looks as though any fea
ture of the law tending to present
serious interference with the shop
ping of w omen is doomec^
During the meetings of the joint
committee on traffic law revision of
Council and the Chamber of Com
merce it was generally considered
that whatever laws proposed would
be passed by Council and signed by
Mayor Woodward. The lament of
doctors and business men who arc-
in the habit of coming downtown in
their machines early in the morning
and leaving them standing in front of
their places of business all day
seemed vain. It was proved that
their personal interests conflict so
sharply with the general public good
that they must be legislated against
and ordered to move their cars off
the principal streets.
Women’s Work Fruitful.
The action of the women is a
godsend to this class of men. Their
complaints have caught the ear of
Council in a way that the business
men could never hope to do.
Some traffic law revision is bound
to come from the recommendations
of the Council and Chamber of Com
merce committee. Councilman Albert
Thomson, who is leading the opposi
tion. and has announced that he
would make a motion to refer the
whole matter to a Council committee
for a public hearing, said that much
more rigid traffic laws were needed.
But it seems Monday that the whole
matter :s to be reviewed again; and
it is certain that pains will he taken
not to interfere with the convenience
of the women.

JOE JOHNSON NOT
BOWED BY DEFEAT
Joe Johnson, former Atlantan and
recent manager of the Tammany
campaign in the New York mayoralty
race, left Atlanta for New York Mon
day at noon, but not before he pre
dicted a new and long life for Tam
many, despite the terrific defeat of its
candidate, Judge McCall.
Mr. Johnson and his wife have been
visiting for the last several days at
the home of his sister, Mrs. A. S.
Hook, near East Lake.
"Because a few thousand men left
Democracy to vote against it at the
last election, there is no reason to
think that those men can disorganize
the party,” said Mr. Johnson.
"Mr. Murphy won’t retire unless he
wants to. There is no man in the
organization to put him out. Of
course there are four years barren of
jobs for party members to go through
with, but still Tammany has expe
rienced years as bad."
Mr. Johnson ascribed Tammany’s
defeat to its overthrow* of Governor
Sulzer and Its repudiation of Mayor
Cl ay nor.
"The decisive issues were entirely
outside of the mayoralty campaign.”
he said. "Sulzer, however, will disap
pear soon. He and old Doc Cook will
be in the same class before long."
