Thousands of Workmen Will Be
Thrown Out of Employment
After Monday.
More than 140 industrial plants op
eérated by electric power, including
cotton mills employing thousands of
operatives, will be shut down begin
ning Monday at midnight, to remain
closed until rains in the Carolinas and
the North Georgia mountains replen
ish the reservoirs above Tallulah
Falls.
Notices were sent the owners of
the plants by Rawson Collier, sales
manager of the Georgia Rallway and
Power Company, following letters two
weeks ago, in which a warning was
given. 1t was expected then that the
current would be cut off a week ear-
Mer, but small rains relieved the situ
ation to some extent. But these rains
did not spread over the Tailulah F.ulls
watershed, and the river is now lower
than it has been since the great pow
er station wee bullt, The Chatta
hoochee River, too, is at an extrer ely
Jow stage, hardly any power being
available at Bull Sluice, The com
pany has been driving its Atlanta
auxiliary steam plant to Its utmost
capacity for several weeks, but this is |
not equal to the demand for current
from the industrial plants along the
hydro-electric lines,
The order affects only industrial
plants scattered along the company's
lines, and does not disturb the street
car system, the electric lighting and
pumping of any town supplied
E the company, nor domestic con
sumers in Atlanta. The company ex
pects to produce enough current to
supply these customers unless mat
ters reach a much worse stage than
now exists, The 40 or more cities on
the Hnes, however, have been request
»d to economize in lights and In water
-ugpuod by electric pumps.
he QGeorgin Railway and Power
Company is at work on a reservoir
far up the Tallulah River, and above
the lake which now supplies the Tal
lulah hydro-electric plant. When
completed, probably a year or more
from now, this reservoir wil have
twice the capacity of the present Tal- |
lulah Lake, and is expected to store
enough water to carry the eompany
through any drouth,
A number of the factories affected
have auxiliary steam plants, which
were put out of commission when the
electric system were adopted, but
which can readily be returned to op
eration. The Adifficulty of obtaining
coal and the high prices prevailing
will prevent some of these from using
steam power, however, Many of the
plants affected are on Government
work.

Senate Approves Elder’s Bill Pro
viding for Public Warehous
ing System,
Establishment of a State controlied
and operated cotton warehousing sys
tem wag approved by the Senate Fri
day afternoon in adopting a bill by
Senator Elders, by a vote of 30 to 5.
County warehouses will be establish
ed all to be under a State warchouse
commlission, and public weighers and
inspectors will be appointed, )
A feature of the bill relative to the
insuring of cotton, which was found
objectionable by many, was elimi
nated by Mr, FElders himself, who got
through an amendment to provide
that the cotton deposited in the
warehouses would be insured in the
name of the depositor and not of on
insurance company.
Opposition to the measure came
from Senators Council, Redwine,
Brown, Humber and Weaver, Mr.
Couneil declaring that it would mean
a complication of the present ware
housing system and wonld make it
possible for a few persons to gain a
monopoly of the cotton business of
Georgia,
