General Clean-Up To
" Leave City Spotless
Every Nook and Corner in Atlanta To Be Free
From Dirt. 2
Atlanta is going to don her best
bib and tucker for grand opera week.
In order that the thousands of vis
itors who attend grand opera may
get the best impression of this city
as a real “spotless town,” the At
lanta Chamber of Commerce has ar
ranged for a general clean-up during
the week of April 14, preceding the
music festival. The motto will be
“A City Beautiful.” All that is nec
essary is the removal of a few dirty
spots and eyesores, and the commit
tee in charge is going to see that
they are wiped out, .
Every organization in the city is
being lined up for the drive against
dirt, and the campaign is expected to
be the most thorough in the history
of the city. The ‘churches, schools,
health and sanitary departments, the
women's clubs and labor organiza
tions will do their part in the drive.
Public school pupils, under the guid
ance of their teachers, will be de
pended upon for special efforts.

Commerce have named the following

of the troops.

PATAL CHIEF
AND I 3 ADES
ARE REMOVED
Burleson Fires Mackay, General
Counsel and Secretary of Com
pany for Disobeying Orders.
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, March 22.—" Ha
ving conducted themselves in such a
manner as to disadvantageously af
fect the interests of the Govern
ment,” Clarence H. Mackay, presi
dent; W. W. Cook, general counsel,
and Willjam F. Deegan, secretary,
have been remr~ed from the operation
of the Postal Telegraph-Cable Com
pany’'s land lines under Government
control, Postmaster General Burle
son announced this afternoon.
The order also Includes the board
of trustees of the company, and A, F.
Adams, president of the Kansas City
Home Telegraph Company, has been
appointed to succeed them, Burleson
added. |
~ The order, it was explained, was
made necessary by the fact that since
the Postoffice Departmiit refused to
grant that company the compensa
tion asked for the officials have ‘“re
fused or failed to follow out the in
structions of the department in the}
management of the properties, and
failed to put into operation promptly
the wage schedule and the eight-hour
day, and in various ways endeavored
to embarrass and discredit the Gov
ernment operation of the wires.” ‘
The reason for the refusal of the
department to grant the compensa
tion asked for was that the sworn
statement submitted to the Interstate
Commerce Commission in behalf of
the company placed the net income
for 1917 at $117,264, while the sworn
statement they made to the wire con
trol board as a basis for compensa
tion placed the mnet incothe for the
same year at $4,485593.34, it was
stated.
The value of the plant and equip
ment of the Postal Telegraph-Cable
Company sworn to in the company’s
return to the Interstate Commerce
Commission for 1916 was $6,647,472,
but the officials of the company de
clined to make any statement of val
uation to the wire control board, it
was explained,
Burleson Scored for
‘Crippling Postal’
(By International News Service.)
NEW YORK, March 22.—Postmas
ter General Burleson was charged
with trying to confiscate the Postal
Telegraph Company’s money in order
to pay it over to the Western Union,
in a statement issued tonight by Wil-
liam J. Deegan, who was removed as
secretary of ®he Postal at the same
‘tlll% that Clarence H. Mackay suf
fered official decapitation at Mr. Bur.
leson’s hands as the company’s presi
dent. Mr. Deegan said, in part:
“Burleson gives as a reason for the
‘order that we have failed to carry out
his orders and instructions. We do
not know what Bufleson refers to.
“This is all a pretense,
““The statement that we failed to
put into effect the wage schedule 1s
‘a distortion. We announced an in
crease of wages of all employees on
‘March 5, to take effect on January 1,
1919, which was more generous than
‘what Burleson ordered.
~_"““The three men who came to the
Postal Telegraph Building today to
demand our property were telephone
men. Not one of these men knows
the slightest thing about the tele
graph business,
“It is one of the most despotic
things in the history of the Govern
ment. We shall not surrender or
abandon our fight agalnst Burleson's
usurpations. His purpose very evi
dently is to destroy the Postal Tele
graph system, but he wil rail in that.
This turning of our property over to
our competitors, removing our oM
cers and giving our money to the
Western Union would be incredible it
it were not true.”
