THE ATLANTA (JKOKCIAN AND NEWS,
SOCIETY WOMEN TAKE
ATLANTA TRAFFIC
; - fate of the new traffic ordi-
an ce which Mill be presented to the
• v < 'ouncll Monday afternoon by a
! , ;n r committee of the Council and
v, e chamber of Commerce has be-
Yimf! extremely uncertain on account
mited opposition to some of its
pa i -f-s b\ society women who drive
nitomobiles.
\lan> members of Council declared
Monday that they were being sub-
p,i :o a pressure they were power-
to resist, toughened as they are by
P manv conflicting currents of i>o-
-a! sentiment. Women who drive
heir own machines have been visit
ing their offices and cal'lng them by
p pphone to protest tlrat the new
aw against parking au*omobiles in
o downtown districts would abso-
o ■ spoil their shopping
Thr fight of the women r.ss gained
impressive support in the persons of
v heads of a number of big stores.
•r,e of the arguments for the new
ri’ffio law is that it would benefit
p trade of departments stores by
iraring the entrances of parked an-
omobiles and make entrances easier.
The attitude of some of the store
,eads that they are opposed to dis
using the leisurely women shop
py who drive their machines and
oa\e them standing in the streets
has given a number of members of
Council a bewildered feeling, espe-
: ;i: 1 y since many of the women have
a ’Pmi in person and demanded pro
tection.
Public Hearing Likely.
There seems to be little doubt that
p new law will be referred to a spe-
al committee of Council for a pub-
hearing. Whether the provision
prohibiting the parking of machines
:n any one block for more t
thirty minutes within limits
aiding the whole downtown shopping I
district w ill be stricken is a matter J
of doubt, but the activities of thej
women practically assures the elimi
nation of tlie 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 women is doomed.
During the meetings of the joint
committee on traffic law revision of
Council and the Chamber of Com
merce it wag generally considered
that whatever laws proposed ..would
be passed by Council and signed by
Mayor Woodward. The lament of
doctors and business men who are
in tile 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
tire 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 tire 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 be taken
not to interfere with the convenience
of the women.

JOE JOHNSON NOT
BOWED BF 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
Gaynor.
“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."
