Local Committee Works on Sup
plementary Summary—Success
in Fight Predicted.
The Atlanta regional bank com
mittee started work Monday on a
final “breaf," embodying facts and
figures requested by the national or
ganization committee at its hearing
here, which will be forwarded to
Washington when completed, as the
last word in what the committee
members believe to be a strong and
convincing case for Atlanta.
"We are far from counting our
chickens yet,” stated J. K. Orr. chair
man of the joint committee, who
made a brilliant address before the
national board in opening the argu
ment. "But without undue boasting.
1 may say that we all feel confident
that Atlanta will land the reserve
bank for the Southeastern territory,
and that the district will be substan
tially as outlined in our case."
Ottloy Hopeful of Success.
John K. Ottley, another member of
the joint committee, stated that he
regarded Atlanta’s chances as good.
"Better than we thought before the
hearing.” he said. "And I may add
that the more cities heard after ours
was presented, the better our own
case looked. When the hearing closed
Saturday afternoon Atlanta's stock
was well up.”
John W. Grant, also a member of
the joint committee, was in New
York while the hearing was being
held here.
Board to Get More Data.
"I find on my return a very tired
but thoroughly hopeful bunch of
workers.” Mr. Grant said. “In New
York the big business men and bank
ers seem generally of the firm convic
tion that Atlanta is the logical plaet.
for a reserve bank in the Southeast.”
The six arguments heard for At
lanta and the eight briefs filed with
the national board are to be supple
mented, at the request of the board,
by the brief now in process of con
struction. When it has been com
pleted and filed with the national
board at Washington the case will
rest entirely with the national com
mittee. which is expected to make its
decision in several months.
it is necessary to go over thor
oughly all the evidence submitted,

MILLS ViOLATING
LAW.SAYS JUDGE
County Official Urges Compul
sory Education as Help in
Checking Child Labor,
Sixty-four per cent of the cotton
mills of Georgia are willfully violat
ing the provisions of the State child
labor law. asserted Judge W. W. Tin
dall, of the Juvenile Court of Fulton
County, who conducted the Sunday
evening services at the Ponce
Avenue Baptist Church. Judge Tin
dall quoted from statistics compiled
by the Government to substantiate
his charge.
"Ignorance is responsible for this
condition of affairs.” said the judge.
"What we need most in this section
of the South is compulsory educa
tion.”
He said the argument that compul
sory education would necessitate a
double school system, one for the
whites and one for the negroes, is
pure buncombe.
"We have the negro problem to
face here, and in what better manner
could we face It than to leach the
negro to take care of himself?” asked
Judge Tindall
The North, he said, has had a more
difficult situation than the negro
problem to deal with, the mainte
nance of an element of population It
could not assimilate—the foreigner.
