FOCH TO ADVANCE IF RUNS BALK AT TERMS
Says U. S. Must Control Packing Houses
The momentous conference which
has been in session in Atlanta dince
Monday, with delegates from all
Southeastern States representative of
the larger Protestant demominations
under direction of the Inier-Church
World Movement for church unity,
came to an end Wednesday afternoon
at 4:30 o'clock, after the adoption of
a program that breathes the spirit of
progressiveism and world democracy.
As an earnest of the intention of
the movement to attack vital issues
withcut “camouflaging behind a lot
of glittering generalities,” as Dr. C.
B. Wilmer put it, the conference took
a direct and uncompromising stand
en the negro question, declaring as
one of the principal aims of the
Southeastern conference to concern
itself with the fostering of just and
amlicable relations between the races
and pledging itself to a program of:
Justice for Negro.
1. Guarante#ing the negro just
treatment in the courts of justige.
2. Extension of opportunity to se
cure better living conditions and more
wholesome surroundings, i
3. Attempting to secure for the ne- |
gro courteous treatment and clean!
traveling accommodations. I
4. Fxtension of educational up_uor~‘
tunities for negro youths. !
The principle of the league of nn-"
tions as advocated by President Wil-!
son received unqualified illti(ll‘fii'nl(’nt.!
the conference being of the opinion|
that such a league must be founded |
on Christian democratic principles in |
order to accomplish the aim of world
peace. ‘
Organized labor came in for unani-:
mous indorsement. I
The pronouncement of the confer
ence on industry was as foilows:
For Living Wage.
*lndustrial justice should dnmi’n:itv’
in industry. We stand for a living|
wage for the employee, a fair return|
in service and interest to capital,
with full recognition of the right of
the consumer to good service and rea
sonable charges. Labor, capital and
the middle man must regard them
selves as partners in enterprises for
the benefit of the people. We recom
mend arbitration in all industrial dis
putes.”
Considerable discussion was evoked |
by the proposal of this “plank,” it be
ing considered too conservative by the
radicals and too radical by the con
servatives. Dr. Wilmer in discussing,
the proposal sald: |
“If you believe in the iron law nfl
supply and demand you do not be
lieve in the religion of God.
“By industrial justice we mean in
dustrial democracy, and by industrial |
democracy we mean that labor should |
have a voice in the management of
and a share in the profits of indus
try.” |
The conference declared as a basic!
prineiple of the organization thml
women should be given equal rights
and privileges and be equally rn-pr--~|
sented on the governing bodies of the
movement,
The plan of holding periodical local
interracial conferences for the discus
sion of common problems was in
dorsed without opposition, i
Debate Over Negroes. ’
The principal debate of the session
wag over the adoption of the program
for amelioration of the condition of
negroes. While there was no opposi
tion to the intent of the program, the
bold wording drew some <-rnn-t,-'m‘
from Alabama and South Carolina
delegates, who contemded that an in- |
dietment was being made against V.h("
South and that the section should be
a declaration by “Anglo-Saxons” of
friendly intent toward “other races.”
In reply to these arguments this re
markable statement was made by Dr,
Durham:
“The Sontheastern Conference owes
to the nation a demonstration of Ity
genuineness In the movement by at
tempting to solve its own most press
ing problems. We must attack the
negro problem as such without at
tempting to hide what we mean under
a lot of verblage.
, “The negro has grievances and it
will do us no good to bury our heads
in the sands of generalities, The new
spirit of the hour demands that thn‘
Christian chureli take a definite stand
for the rectification of these griev
ances.”
Churches Must Lead.
Dr. M. Ashby Jones, speaking to
the question, sald:
“We are not gathered here for mere
fellowship, however sweet that might
be, but to unite our efforts to the so
lution of vital problems. The church
must here determine to follow no

Jacksonville Nurses
Abandon Sick to Go
On Strike for Raise
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Feb. 18,
Nearly 50 trained nurses of St
Luke's Hospital of this city are on
a strike today because an increase
in salary was refused. Only-a few
nurses are left in the big hospital
and several members of the Red
Cross have volunteered to assist
until some definite decision can be
made by the strikers. A meeting
of all the prominent doctors here
was held last night, at which time
nothing eof much importance con
cerning the strike was done.
This is the first strike of its kind
in Jacksonville. A large number of
patients are in the sick wards and
the condition is termed serious by
several officials of the institution. |

imonths’ compulsory military training
for every healthy American boy whea
‘he attains his nineteenth year-—as the
fundamental basis for genuinely pre
lp.lrin&' American manhood for t,hej
enforcement of world peace, is Rep
'resentative Julias Kahn's plan tc-r}
military training. ‘
} Trained in arms as he approached‘
‘marz ho~d, the American would be able
’io say to the rest of the world, “I not‘
‘only want peace, but I demand it, and
"l mean to have it.”
- Americans—millions of them—were
itrained from boyhood to strike hard
i-’\t a foe, were fully prepared to shoot
‘[stmighl, hike or ride hard, or other
}.wlse fight on every day—would not
unly create preparedness—but lasting
peace.” |
; Advocates Army Bill. i
| Representative Kann, who is rank
iing Republican member of the House
military affairs committee, advocated
this plan in taking up the cudgel for
! the temporary American army of
27,679 officers and 509,909 men,pro
vided in the $1,117,289,400 army ap
propriation bill when consideration of
the measure was resumed.
Kahn agreed with some of his Re
publican colleagues that the proposed
“stop gap” army might prove im
practicable because of an insufficient
number of officers and men willing
to volunteer to serve in it until the
lend of the demobilization period, but
he declared it ought to be at least
tried out.
Jompulsory military training and
service were, however, the only really
effective way to genuin® military pre
paredress und usefulness, he stated
lemph.\tiv:cll)n As the next chairman
| of the House military affairs commit
tee, he would urge upon the next—the
Sixty-sixth (®ngress—with the Re
| publicans in control, the passage of
'legislation for compulsory ilitary
training of every American boy capa
ble of bearing arms at the age of 19,
he said.
Result of Training.
Required to devolte six months of
bhis nineteenth year te military train
ing by such legislation, Kahn ex
plained, the American boy-—millions
| of them--would grow to manhood
Isuffii-x‘nmly versed in the complex du
ties of the modern soldier to make
Fim an apt scholar to be reckoned on
in the preservation »f ‘world peace.
“Genuine preparedness means the
ability to fight effectiveiy,” Kahn con
tinued. “Genuine preparedness is the
only common sense way to discourage
any hostile notions any other nation
may entertain in the future toward
the American people
“Arly nation would think twice be
fore attempting again to disturb the
world’s peace if she knew the Amer-4
scan was trained to fight—and willing
and able to fight, if necessary to main
tain that peace all of us, so much
desire,
“I hope the American people will
never again see the day when they
will find themselves unprepared for
| war, but above all I hope they will
! never again find themselves unpre
pured to enforce peace, on a humani
tarian, a sensible, and unselfish and
a practicable basis-—not on a mili
taristic basis.

War Declarations.
War declarations require ‘special
legislation” under the terms of the
temporary constitution which has just
been adopted by the German national
assembly.
Entrance of Germany into the pro
posed league of nations must have the
combined sanction of the national as
sembly and the State committee (rep
resenting the various States making
up Germany).

ed that Herr Scheidemann had not

Telegraph dispatch to The Interna
tional News Service from Amsterdam
today said Scheidemann’'s appoint
ment had formally taken place.)
Synopsis of Constitution.
The following is a synopsis of the
temporary constitution as it was
amended before its approval Monday:
1. The assembly’s object is to adopt
a permanent constitution and national
laws,
2. The Government's proposals to
the assembly require the sanction of
a committee representing the several
free states. This committee is headed
by a Government member from each
state, the members from the larger
states being apportioned to one vote
for each 1,000,000 inhabitants; how
ever, no state may have a membership
bigger than one-third of the total
membership of the committee,
3. The committee is entitled to ad
dress the assembly at any time.
4. The as®mbly will adopt a fu
ture constitution, but the territory of
the free states shall not be changed
except with the consent of the inter
ested state. Laws will be adopted
and may be referred to a referendum
vote by the President if a disagree
ment arises,
5. Unimportant points are referred
to the old German constitution.
Power of President.
6. The President will conduct the
:epublic’s affairs with authority to
represent Germany in matters of in
ternational law. He will sign foreign
treaties on behalf of the republie and
receilve Ambassadors, but each dec
laration of war and each policy treaty
requires special legislation Foreign
"l‘-‘lfil'fi require the combined sanc
ion of the assembly and the state
committee, including agreements with
countries in the proposed league of
nations,
7. The assembly will elect a presi
dent with an absolute majority and
the president retains office until his
successor is elected upon the basis of
a permanent constitution,
8. The president appoints the cabi
net, which will control the supreme
ccmmand of the army and navy. The

ATLANTA, GA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1919
John H.” Towers Is
Picked by Secretary
Daniels for Big Work
Former Rome Boy Is Rehevedi
From Duty to Prepare to l
Beat the World.
When the United States flies its
first airship across the Atlantic
Ocean and thereby beats Great Brit
ain, which is also making plans for
the first trans-Atlantic flight, it is
probable a Georgia man will be
handling the controls and directing
the job.
Commander John K. Towers, for
merly of Rome, Ga,, is the man picked
for the job by Josephus Daniels, See
retary of the Navy, according to in
formation which has leaked out in
Washington. Commander Toters a
few days ago was relieved from duty
with the Naval Bureau of Operations
and detailed to formulate plans for
the flight. It is hardly expected the
big aireraft will be ready before mid
summer, and the flight wil await
favorable winds. But Towers thinks
the United States Navy can be ready
as quickly as England, if not guick
er,
Secret Comes Out.
Secretary Daniels, asked for details
by reporters at Washington, declined
to give any, but said an official an
nouncement would be made later.
The Navy Department had intended
keeping everything secret, but the
transfer of Commander Towers gave
it away.
“Do you expect to beat the British
in making the first flight across the
Atlantic?” Secretary Daniels was
asked.
“We hope to beat the world,” he -
replied.
Commander John Towers, of Rome,
is the naval flyer who naturally
would have been chosen fer the big
flight, He distinguished himself in
the earliest days of naval aviation
by flying over Vera Cruz when the
American squadron under Admiral
IMletcher was there on “business” a
few years ago, and when Admiral
Fletcher visited Rome some time lat
er to inspect a proposed armor plate
plant site, he paid high tribute to
the Rome boy who had proved his'

mettle in the brand new branch of
naval affairs,
Commander Towers-—then only
Lieutenant Towers — married the
beautiful Miss Lily Sarstain, of fash
ionable Mayfair, in London, in 1915,
after their meeting at a shooting
party near Edinburgh. She was a
noted beauty and heiress, and it was
reported at the time that one of the
conditions she imposed upon him
was that he quit flying. But that
must have been a mistake, for Tow
ers has been one of the Navy's most
prominent and daring aviators since
the outbreak of the great war,
The rmite to be taken in the first
trans-Atlantic flight probably will be
from somewhere nemr New York to
the Azores Islands, and thence to
England or Ireland. The first leg of
the flight, from Long Island to San
Miguel, would be about 2,350 nautical
miles. The principal problem is that
of building an aircraft which can
carry sufficient fuel for the long
flight.

WASHINGTON, Feb, 13.~The
charge that British spinners are be.
ing permitted by the administration
to control the price of American cot
ton was made in the Senate this aft.
ernoon by Senator Hardwick, of
Georgia.
He demanded the removal of the
embargo which prevents the shiprnonll
of American cotton not only to the
former enemies of the United States,
but to neutrals as well,
“The cotton growers of the South
are entitled to demand that the de
pressing influence of the embargo be
removed at once,” Hardwick said.
“The South must bear a large portion
of the tremendous tax burden the
Congress is about to place on the
American people. It will be unable to
do so unless some way is found to
give it a fair price on its cotton.
