Tioket service at the Terminal Sta
®on, suspended for a few hours
*rhursday by the walkout of station
employees, was restored to some ex
tent about 2 o'clock, when several
general passenger agents and other
higher officials of the roads operat
ing into the station took places at the
ticket windows and provided passen
geérs with transportation. It was
stated by railroad authorities that
this service would be augmented fur
ther, and that the public would not
be inconvenienced by the walkout.
Several experienced baggage men
were said to have been engaged to
care for the baggage passing through
the Terminal, removing trouble at
this end.
The walkout at the Terminal Sta
tion, Union Station and the Consoli
dated ticket offices included ticket
sellers, train callers and baggage men
as a protest against the action of G,
B. Harris, district passenger agent,
and other officials of the N, C. & St.
L. Railroad in selling tickets and
checking baggage for service on the
W. & A-N, C. & St. L. route.
The walkout in the Terminal Sta
tion was the most effective, practical—l
ly every employee there going mn.i
The number who struck at the Termi
nal Station totaled more than 100
men and women, whiie twelve went
out at the consolidated ticket office
in the Flatiron Building and thirteen
went out from ihe UUnion Station
Few on Job. :
At the consolidated ticket otfice
tickets were still being sold by fiye of
the officials of the Railroad .»\dmmis-I
tration, but the crowds who failed to
arrive long before the usual time lim-!
ilts were forced to go away Hvkelless.‘
The Union Station force walked out
in a body, but tickets were being |
sold Thursday by the station agent!
and baggage was being cliecked from
this station by G. B. Harris, district|
passenger agent of the N, C. & St. L..,!
whose actions at the Terminal Stn-[
tion precipitated the general walk-|
out, At the Union Station there was
a jam of passengers at the ticket
window and great confusion in the
baggage room, where Harris was ul-'
tempting to handle the work of sev-|
eral men |
Director Explains. {
B. L. Winchell, director of rail-}
roads for the Southern region, made |
the following statement concerning|
the administration’s side of the con- |
troversy !
It is a matter of regret that the |
publiec will be temporarily and un- I
necessarily inconvenienced by the
action of the ticket sellers, baggage l
' clerks, mail handlers, gate men and l
certain other classes of employees
who have heretofore served the ’
railroad administration |
We received a demand this morn- |
ing that the ticket agent at the *
Terminal Station (not a member of i
the Clerks’ Brotherhood), must re-;
fuse to sell tickets and that-the |
general baggage agent must check |
no baggage over the Nashville, |
Chattanooga and St. Louis Rail
road; further, that the trains of |
that line should not be announced [
n the station for the information l
sos the public and that the station
gates must not be opened to allow
passengers to enter or leave the !
Dixie Flyer |
The gate was very properly aopen- |
ed by the superintendent of the sta- |
tion for the public accommodation ‘
Strike Called. I
The local chairman of the Broth
erhood at the Terminal Station
now advises, “as a result we have
suspended business in the ticket |
office and around the Terminal Sta- |
tion” :
The U'nited States Railroad Ad
ministration will take the steps |
nocessary to resume the operation |
of«this station and to replace the |
ticket clerks at the consolidated |
United States Raliroad Administra- |
tion ticket office who have also ad- |
| vised us of thei rintention to retire |
from the service at 10:30 o'cloek |
i this morning !
‘ Terminal in Confusion, i
Widespread confusion prevuailed at
| the Terminal Station, with no one but
| military and city policemen to direct
the outgoing and incoming crowds
| 'ven the information bureau sus
pended business. Passengers desiring
to take trains at this station were
compelled to leave what baggage they
had, except what eould be carried in
their hands: they could secure no in
formation, purchase no tickets, and
had to find their own trains. There
were no callers to call the departing
trains, no gatemen to direct passen
gers to the proper tracks and no signs
to indicate on what track the various
outgoing trains were standing

Seven huge airplanes similar to
those used in bombing raids overseas
flew over Atlanta shortly before noon
Thursday, having made the trip of
113 miles from Americus in 1 hour
and 10 minutes, a rate of little less

The aviators proceeded directly to
the country club at Bast Lake, where
they landed on the west side of the
golf course. The landing was with
out incident, save slight damage to
the wing of one machine incurred in
an effort to dodge a flag left standing
on the golf course. A committee rep
resenting the Southern Aero Club and
the Atlanta Woman's Club met the
fivers, who were given luncheon at
the East Lake Club house. Their ex
hibition flight over the city was post
poned until 2:20 p. m. because of the
tardiness of Colonel Bishop's train.

planes have visited Atlanta there
