At 5:30 o'clock Saturday morning
the five big swimmings pools of At
lanta went into commission, and a
host of bathers pald the necessary
dime required of those of 14 years and
over for a sunrise dip in the inland
surf. The five pools are at Pied
mont Park, Grant Park, Oakland (‘nyi
PPark, Maddox Park, and Moaley Park,
The charge is made necessary by mn‘
fact that the pools will have to oper
ate without an appropriation from vlw‘
city, and thus will have to pay their
own way. They are on@ trial of 35
days, to mscertain if they can be mado
self-sustaining—and it will take
$1,760 a month to run them.
~ The bathing rules this year re
quire two-plece suits and bar the
pretty white silk creations, the park
authorities at all times being the
court of last resort in judgment on
whether a bathing suit meets the de- |
mands of propriety. |
There wans a notable assembly of
swimmers at all the pools, the largest
probably being at the new Grant Park |
pool, where the swimming kept up
until well along in the morning with
prospects of an even larger crowd !or}

This is the last day of the Salva
tion Army campaign.
That was decided late Friday night
b, the little band of faithful ones
who have stuck through two weeks of
hard and disappointing work. If At
lanta wants to contribuie, it has had
every opportunity. There's no use in
ccntinuing the appeal any longer
Atlanta has raised $72,600 of its
SBO,OOO fund and is therefore §7,500
short of its goal. That amount could
easily be raised in one day if there
were a big band of campaigners on
tha job with Atlanta’s old-time “pep.”
But the campaigners are not™ there
and the “pep” is missing,
The fund was swelled Saturday by
a gt of SSOO from the Georgla Rail
way and Power Company. w
In his letter accompanying the gift
Mr., Arkwright said:
“In view of the extremely excellent
gervice rendered by the Salvation
Army, we feel that it would be un
just and unfair to fail to contribute
to ite fund when we have contributed
to all the other war work activities”
Mr. Arkwright's address at the Ad
vertising Club luncheon several days
ago was one of the most eloquent
tributes to the work of the Salva
tion Army at home and abroad that
has been delivered during the cam
paign in the South
Last efforts to round up a few dol
lars were made this afternoon by
met at 2 o'clock at the Soldiers
Camp Community Service They

paign, collecting money in eaptured
German helmets,
Dave Webb's committee of Adver

all the members who pledged their ef
forts so enthusiastically will be able

Four Hundred Thousand to Walk
r Out Unless Local Trouble Is
| Adjusted at Once.
CHICAGO, May 31.—Unless the
tcrms of an ultimatum served -today
upon officials of the A. T. and T. and
other companies at Atlanta are coms
piled with by noon Monday, 400,000
commercial telegraphers and tele
phone operators will go on strike at 3
o'clock next Monday afternoon.
This announcement was made here
today by J. F. Campbell, secretary
treasurer of the Commercial Telegra
pter® Union, upon receipt of word
fiom 8. J. Konenkamp, president, that
the ultimatum had been delivered in
At'anta.
, The ultimatum demands that about
100 girl telephone operators at At
»
larta who recently were discharged
because they had affillated with the
union be reinstated by Monday noon.
President oKnenkamp was in Mon
treal. Canada, when he sanctioned the
delivery of the ultimatum. He is now
on his way to Washington, D. C,
Officials of the union maintain that
the action of the Atlantaz companies
in discharging the girl operators is in
violation of instructions promulgated
by Postmaster General Burieson,
Tley are hopeful that Burleson will
take steps to prevent the strike
It was also declared that should
the strike be called 200,000 railway
telegraphers may joln it later.
Phone Strike Here
Appears Inevitable
A strike of all telegraph and tele
phone operators in Atlanta, involving
2,000 men and women, and cutting
Atlanta off from all wire communica
tion with the outside world except by
railroad lines and press servicel, ap
peared inevitable Saturday afternoon
when officials of the telephone opera
tors’ union and the Southern Bell Tel
ephone Company had failed to an
nounce any agreement after having
been in conference since L 1 o'clock. It
is the plan to begin the strike at 3
o'clock Monday afternoon. The local
strike also threatens to involve all the
telegraph and telephone employees in
the United States,
The commitiee of employees re
mained in conference with George
Yundt, vice president of the Southern
Bell, for two hours, at the conclu
sion of which it was announced that
no basis of agreement had been reach
ed and that the strike set for Monday
may only be averted now by action of
Postmaster General Burleson
Telephone officials contended that
no emplovees had been discharged
hecause of union affiliation and that
the demand for recognition of the
union can only be granted by the
Postmaster General I'he committee
of employees held to the charge made
by the union that the discharge of of
ficers of the union was based on no
‘n')u-r reason than their union affilia

and 40 building projects have been
tied up by the general strike which
began here yesterday.
’ In answer to threats of the em
’Dlfly“vs of the C(anadian National
’Rflllway to strike the company issued
an appeal to tne men to remain at
’Wnrk in the interests of the public,
There have been no disorders,
‘ The employees of the Toronto
Street Railway Company will hold a
‘mm-tlng tonight It is not thought
that they will join the strike, as their
agreement with the company does not
expire until the middle of next month.
The strike leaders declare that the
movement has not yet reached f{ts
full force, but will continue to grow.
Trades that are continuing at work
will be called out one by one, it was
said. There has not been much in
convenience to the public and the city
is calm.
x-Alderman Joseph Gibbons is at
tempting to offset any possible strike
by employees of public utilities com
panies by the formation of a public
utilities council
The employers’ association, which
was attempting to settle the original
troubles, has withdrawn its offers
gince the various trades have begun
to go out on sympathy strikes.
After calling attention to their of
fer of an elght-hour day and a u-}
hour week, the reinstatement of
strikers and adoption of the principhk
of collective bargaining, the employ
ers said
“The metal trades employees un-‘
fairly induced the men in other trades
to strike, thus breaking agreements.”
