Thousands of Workmen Will Be
Thrown Out of Employment
After Monday.
More than 140 industrial plants op
erated 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 Carglinas and
the North Georkia mountains replen
ish the reservoirs above Tallulah
Falls,
Notices were sent the owners of
the plants by Rawson Collier, sales
manager of the Georgia Railway and
Power Company, following letters two
weeks ago, in which & warning was
given. It was expected then that the
current would be cut off a week ear-
Her, but small rains relieved the situ
stion to some extent. But these rains
did not spread over the Tajiulah Falls
watershed, and the river is now lower
than it has been since the great pow
er station was built. The Chatén
hoochee River, too, is 4t an extremely
Jow stage, hardly any power being
available at Rull Sluice. The com
m has been driving #t= Atlanta
liary steam plant to its utmost
capacity for several weeks, but this is
not equal to the <smand for current
from the industrial plants along the
hydro-electric lines.
The order affects only industrial
plants scattered along the company’s
Ilmes, and does not disturb the street
car system, the electric lighting and
water pumping of any town suppiied
by 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 lines, however, have been request
ed to economize in lights and in water
supplied by eleetric pumps. i
The Georgia Railway and Power
Company is at work on a reservoir
far up the Tallulah River, and above
the lake which now sapplies the Tal
lulah hydro-electric plant. When
completed, probably a year or more |
from now, this reservoir will have
twice the capacity of the present Tal.
Julah Lake, and is expected to store
enough water to carry the company
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 difficulty 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,
! Fstablishment of a State controllied
| and operated cotton warehouging sys
tem wag approved by the Senate ri
day afternoon in adopting a bill by
| Senator Elders, by a vote of 30 to 3.
i“unmy warehouses will be establish -
{ed all to be under a State warehouse
!f'nmmisfiim)._:.nd public weighers and
‘m\{u-vrnrs will be appointed. .
A feature of the bill relative to the
insuring of cotton, which was found
objectionable by many, wasg elimi
nated by Mr. Elders 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 nct of an
insurange company.
Opposition to the measure came
from Senators Council, Redwine,
bl!rnwn, Humber and Weaver, Mr,
“ouncil declaring that it would mean
a complication of the present ware
houging system and would make it
possible for a few persons to gain a
monopoly of the cotton business of
Georgia,
