Plans Forming |
(By International News Service.)
~ WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.~The lines
of attack and defense of the league
‘ of nations oomstitution, read to the
gienary session of the peace confer
ence by President Wilson, were tak
tng form in the Banate today l
Preliminary skirmishing was ex-|
' pected this afternoon, but the main
battle of opinion is not expected be
fore the constitution draft s actoed
wpon by the peace conference. I
PBenators expect that many amend
ments to the proposed onn-tltutmn'
will be offered. especially by the rep- |
‘yesentatives of the smaller powers
These amendments, they belleved,
. would be rejected for the most part,
and the constitution approved by the
sonference practically as it was re
ported.
Principal Objections.
" The yprincipal objections in the
Benate to the covenant as it was
‘ 1. That it does not make clear
- what agency is to control the naval
and military forces that may be eall
gcpon to enforce the judgments of
league.
L That it leaves to the judgment
_of an outside agency how grea! shall
'he the reduction in the armaments
‘of the several members of the league.
~ Theae will he the two main points
":on which the attack of opponents
of the League of Nations idea in the
Benate will center. There are many
minor objections and at the same
time many of the general ideas con
‘tafned in the constitution are com
mended, even by those most bitterly
to any departure from the
~' of “no entangling alliances.”
Views as to Success.
. Benators on both sides were in
efned to agree that the league of
Nations will be successful only in so
fur as it Is successfully administered
This ldea was expressed by Senator
“Hitcheoeck, chairman of the foreign
gl‘l:nu committee, and Senator
¥ administration whip, both ar
g““ supporters of the idea, and by
' #enators Borah and Knox, two of its
_ epponents.

“No-Beer-No-Work”
Plan of Labor Likely
To Cause Stir Here
The “no beer-no work™ movement,
started by unicn labor of New York
as & protest agalinst nation-wide pro
hibition, is destined to provoke a spir
ited fight among Atlanta union or
ganizations when official request by
the New Yorkers for action here is
received, it is the expressed opinion
of leaders, who Saturday awalted its
arrival with especial interest.
It was stated that the New York
plea, when official notice arrives, will
be given due consideration and that
dofinite action will be taken by loeal
labor vodies, but the labor men hesi
tated to venture a suggestion as to
the possible outcome. It. generally
was conceded, however, that the
movement would not recelve as strong
backing In Atlanta and the South as
has been Indicated it will attraet in
other sections. It was regarded as
very doubtful that the Southern la
boring men would go to the extent of
Joining in a strike to force the Gov

Opinion Divided.
It was pointed out by one labor
leader that the Atlanta and Georgla
unfon men are pretty badly split on
the prohihl\l:: question, one element
favoring bee and light wines as a
solution to the porhibition problems,
another backing absolute prohibition,

tion question into the affairs of the
unions, holding that it is entirely an
Outside matter. This difference in
sentiment, it was suggested, presaged
some lively discussion whenever the
“no beer-no work™ question is raised.
The New York labor men, accord
ing to information from that city,
have planned to ask every labor or
ganization in the United States to act
on the proposition of calling a natioh
wide strike to induce the removal of
beers and light wines from the ban
of the new “dry” amendment to the
Federal Constitution. The move to
submit the proposition to labor In the
remainder of the country was report
ed to have been indorsed by 300,000
labor men in New York. No objec
tion was raised by the New Yorkers
to outlawing whisky, it was said.
Concerted Action Likol:.
Atlanta labor men were of the opin
fon that the movement would gain
considerable momentum outside of
the Southern States, and said that,
regurdless of whether a natlon-wide
strike is called, they anticipated some
kind of concerted action before the
new amendment becomes effective,
“The Sowth already is accustomed
to prohibition, but it will strike other
sections of the country pretty hard,
and indications now are that there
will be a mighty loud clamor for beers
and light wines,"” remarked one prom
inent lakor man, who has been closely
studying the situation.

NEW YORK, Feb 16« Jeramiah
O'Leary, on trial for violating the
espionage act, intimated through coun.
sel Friday that his defense would be
based upon efforts to prove that all pro
German beliefs entertained by him ex
Isted before and not after the United
States enterad the war
In outlining the case for the defense,
Colonel Thomas Felder, chief counasel
for O'Leary, declared that before the
United States entered the war “meo
anhd women in various walks of life had
their opinlons and were entitled to their
opinlons
‘While 1 knew many who were not

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.—Prompt
educational and “Americanization”
measures, such as the “illiteracy bill”
now before the House education
committes, should be taken to pre
vent the spread of I. W, W.-ism and
Bolshevism, Secretary of the Inte
rior Franklin K. Lane told commit
tee members Friday. He wants a law
to make the “melting pot of nations*
really melt.
“The couptry is very fortunate that
the Butte Sopper miners’ strike did
not spread over the entire land,” he
sald, explaining the causes of that
strike and drawing attention to the
fact that the men were all foreigners,
with whom American labor men
could not reason.
The illiteracy bill, he stated, ap
propriates $5,000,000 annually, in
creasing the amount every year until
the total appropriation becomes an
annual one of sl2 500,000 for the edu
cation of native and foreign-born il
literates. Proper co-ordination of
the educational and Americanization
agencies of the United States and the
States were urged by the Secretary,
who pointed to the alarming figures
on native illiteracy as shown by draft
questionnaires.

stores, and several large tramp ships
lying in the various slips. After burn
ing neariy an hour, during which the
fertilizer section was reduced to
ashes, spectators believed the witua
tion was under control.
About this time flames appeared in
the cotton section of the Seaboard
wharves and before they could be ex
tinguished had gained rapid headway,
Whether these oecurred from wsparks
from the fertilizer plant or from the
Ascensun de Larrinaga, a PBritish
tramp steamer which was removed
from one of the Seaboard slips with
fire in her after crow’s nest, which
caught from the fertilizer plant, is
uncertain. Some spectaturs say the
flames leaped the wharf on which are
located the rallroad offices to the
cotton pier, and others say the cotton
shed was ignited from the burning
crow’s nest,
' Spread to Lumber Pier,
After gaining headway on the cot
ton pler, the flames soon spread to
the lumber pier, whereon was several
million of feet of lumber awaiting
ships. From the lumber pier tnoy
swept onto the naval stores pler and
reached several thousands of barrels
of rosin and spirits of turpentine,
On account of the loss of records,
raillroad officials were unable to enum
erate accurately the losses of freight
on the wharves, They say the cotton
wharf had about 16,000 bales of ¢ot
ton, both sea island and upland. Cot
ton losses alone are estimated at be
tween $4 000,000 and $5,000000., Na
val stores included mearly 3,000 bar
rels of spirits of turpentine and of
rosin, divided aoout evenly, Included
in the freighti loss were about 50,000
bags of sugar, which were consigned
to the French French Government.
Besides these commodities there were
lt;:umnds of tons of fertilizer mne-‘
rial,
Three Ships in Peril. |
Three valuable cargo ships were
imperiled with the flames and had
to be removed, under emergency or
ders, into the stream and floated down
the channel. Two of these were Brit
ish tramp steamers, the Ascensun de
Larrinaga and the Kelvenbrae, The
other was a schooner. |
Karly in the conflagration the flames
reached 19,000 tons of high-grade ni
trate of soda, which were stored in
the fertilizer plant where the fire
originated. For a quarter of an hour
the city, resounded with the explo
sions of this material. Firemen and
the fireboats quickly abandoned the
fight to seek safety from its erup
tions.
Besgides the losses of the fertilizer
plant and the three Seaboard Air Line
piers, a large quantity of railroad
equipment, about 30 freight cars, was
burned,
Every tug owner in the port volun
teered for service in fighting the
flames. Lady stenographers in the
Seaboard offices volunteered to save
the records and furniture of the office
and moved the stuff to safety.
The Seaboard wharves were re
garded among the finest on the South
Atlantic coast and represented an as
set of approximatel), $5,000,000 to the
company. They were the chief
wharves of the entire system, which
has valuable water terminals in Nor

Thirty Georgia editors, repre~enting
the principal weeklies and s aaller
cailies in the State, were in session
Saturday at the Hotel Ansley to form
an organization for increasing the
volume of foreign advertising in their
papers and all other reputable papers
of Georgia.
The meeting was called by Paul T.
Harber, of The Commerce Observer,
president of the Georgia Press Asso
ciation, but he stated at the beginning
that it was not strictly a meeting of
that association. It was called to
form a distinct organization, for busi
ness only, and was intended to em
brace all the papers in Georgia which
desire to avail themselves of the ben
efits of co-operation. Mr, Harber said
that letters from many editors unable
to attend the meeting indicated their
readiness to abide by any action it
might take,
Want Definite Information.
“The big advertising agencies want
definite information, and we must
equip ourselves to furnish it,” ex
plained Mr. Harber. ‘“They want to
know about the population in our
counties, the type of people, their
ability to buy advertised products.
They want statistics of a varied na
ture. There is no way for them to get
this information n>w.
“The advertising agencies and the
big foreign advertisers are looking
for good newspapers which will fill
their wants and sell their goods. That
we have not had our share of this
business before now is largely be
carLse we have rot met the agencies
halfway. We have not gone after
their business, but have waited for it
to come to us. By working together
we can obtain a much larger share of
the big foreign advertising appropria
tions for all the good papers in Geor
gia.”

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.—Two men are
dying as the result of a spectacular
daylight robbery of a Madison avenue
jewelry store near the Ritz Carlton Ho
tel Friday afternoon and a thrilling pur
suit of the bandits through crowded
Fifth avenue.
Two men armed with guns entered
the jewelry store and forced the owner
and manager, George Graham, into an
anteroom. Then they took diamonds
valued at $7,500 and rings.
They were followed by George Reed,
a negro messenger boy, whose cries of
‘“Thief!"” ‘“Thief!” caused a crowd of
ggdestrlans to pursue the robbers. The
ndits ran west to Fifth avenue, keep
ing the crowd at a distance with revol
vers.
Running down Fifth avenue, they
turned east, still followed by the ever
increasing crowd. When they had al
most reached Madison avenue again a
man named McGovernor, a railway
clerk, employed by the New York Cen
tral, dashed headlong at the bandits.
They opened fire on him, two of the
bullets taking effect and causing
wounds which have been pronounced
fatal
A chauffeur on a passing automobile
leaped to the sidewalk and hurled a
monkey wrench at the nearest bandit.
The wrench struck the bandit, Sydney
Goldstein, behind the ear, knocking him
to the sidewalk In the excitement the
other bandit escaped.

FOR 2 STORES
Proceedings growing out of the ad
ministration of the estate of the late
J. H. McKenzie, wealthy Atlantan, by
his som, Ralph I. McKenzie, were
started in Superior Courf Saturday
by four Atlanta business concerns, as
creditors, who asked the court to set
aside the sale of two stores, as made
by young McKenzie, and to appoint a
receiver for the stores in order to in
sure the sum due them.
The bill, filed by Attorneys Walter
8. Dillon and Dorsey, Shelton & Dor
sey, charged that young McKenzie
had disposed of the store properties
at an inadequate price and then failed
to make an accounting to the court
as administrator. McKenzie, who was
connected with a local cotton oil con
]cern. was said to be in South Caro
ina.
It further was set out that the ad
ministrator had contracted debtis
without authority to the amount of
SII,OOO. The action was brought by
the Beck & Gregg Hardware Com
pany, the Naticnal Biscuit Company,
the Brower Candy (Company _and
Cohen Bros. The indebtedness of the
administrator to these four specific
creditors was said to. be about s£soo,

COLUMBIA, 8. C, Feb. 15.—The
Equal Suffrage League of Columbia
has appealed to Mayor Blalock to re
quest the members of the Women’s
Party, who are to wvisit Columbia on
Monday, to refrain from any demon
strations or utterance of disloyalty
to the President. The Equal Suffrage
League emphasizes that it is a branch
of the National American Woman
Suffrage Association, the tactics of
which are diametrically opposed to
the spectacular practices of the Wom
an's Party. In the appeal to Mayor
Blalock. the Equal Suffrage League
says:
“Hearing that a permit has been
given to the Women’'s Party for a
street meeting on February 17, the

The conciliatory offices of the
United States Department of Labor
were Friday called upon in an effort
to reach a solution of the differences
between the International Brother
hood of Electrical Workers and the
electrical contractors of Atlanta, it
was learned Saturday morning,
One or more agents of the Federal
Department of Labor will be instruct
ed by the Secretary of Labor to in
vestigate the situation with a view
to bringing the strike to an end. John
Bridwell,.one of the department rep
resentatives, has already arrived in
the city.
That the strike situation has taken
on more serious aspects, despite the
fact that six of the contractors have
signed an agreement with the union
and ended the strike in their plants
| was the opinion of some of the build
ing trades unionists Saturday. They
claim to have information that the
refusal of the electrical contractors
to sign an agreement with the electri
cal workers is dictated by the Build
ers’ Exchange and that the contrac
tors are not holding out on their own
initiative,
It is also contended by the building
trades workers that the ficht against
the electrical workers is the first move
in a carefully planned attack on all
the building trades organizations, and
that the electrical workers were first
affected because their contract was
the first to expire,
This phase of the situation will be
carefully gone into at an executive
session of the BRuilding Trades Coune
cil at the Labor Temple Sunday
morning at 10 o'cloek, at which the
executive board of the Atlanta Fed
eration of Trades also will be pres
ent.

I WAYCROSS, Feb. 15.—The Chamber
'of Commerce campaign for new mems
‘bers will start Tuesday morning and
will continue for three days. The work -
ers are divided into two grouns to bhe
be directed by an admiral and a gen
eral. Fach group is divided into three
working committees and as the selection
of these workers was done carefully,
Some exciting and interesting times are
to be expected, as the competition is
already showing ‘‘color.”
. Three thousand dollars is the mini
mum amount to be asked for, but with
practically every citizen of Waycross
realizing the necessity for a live organ
ization, it iz probable that £5,000 will be
subscribed to supplement the $3,000 ap
propriated by the city and county.
