By JOHN EDWIN NEVIN,
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.—A gen
¢ eral strike of the organized workers
in the jron and steel industry is in
evitable unless President Wilson can
find some means to avert it.
Leaders of the metal trades depart=
ment of the American Federation of
Labor so declared today. They said
that, so far as they personally are
concerned, there is nothing more they
can do. The representatives of the
steel workers presented the dectalls
of their side of the situation to the
President in th eWhite House yester
day, leaving the matter temporarily in
his hands. Nothing the President said
at that time has changed the situa

PERSHING REFUSES TO BE

Fulton County Committee Lops
Off $25,000 From Pay -
Roll Annually.
e
A shake up in the county public
works department-—the biggest to
take plece in any county department
in a long while—was made Kknown
Saturday prior to the meeting of the
County Public Works Committee
when it was announced that the de
partment this week had lopped off the
Jobs of seventeen employes, saving
to the county $25,200 annually in
salaries.
The seventeen hit by the official ax
included six road roller and steam
shovel engineers and eleven convict
guards and drivers.
The continued decrease in the num
ber of county convicts was given as
the reason for the wholesale slashing
of jobs. The number of convicts now
is only about 300, it was announced.
Formerly the total reached 700 and
800. The number has been falling off
gradually for some time. . 3
REDUCE GUARD FORCE, ‘
The decision to cut off the seven
teen jobs was reached at an executive
conference the early part of the week
between the Public Works Committee
and the heads of the departments af
fected—W. A. Hansell Jr, superin
tendent of public works; Oscar Jones,
assistant superintendent, and Capt, A,
A. Clark, convict warden. The offi
cials, at the same time, effected a
consolidation of certain of the convict
squads, so that the work in the pub
lic works department can be contin
ved without any erippling of its ef
ficiency.
Commissioner Oscar Mills, chair
man of the Pablic Works Committee,
nfpluin(wl that the reduction in the
force was rendered necvessary in or
der to cut down needless dverhead ex
pense td the county.
“We regretted to give up these
men, but it simply became a matter
of necessity to prevent a waste of
county money,” said Chairman Mills.
FORCED TO ECONOMIZE,
“We have delayed this action for
some timie in the hope that the situ
ation might reach: such a point as to
warrant the keeping of these em
ployees, but such a change failed to
materialize and we finally found it
necessary to let them go, The finan
cial condition of the county is such
now that the commission is forced to
ecconomize at every point possible,”
Chairman Mills attributed ‘the de
crease in the number of convicts to
the two *“big P's"-—prohibition and
prosperity. He sald:
“The convicts began to drop off
directly after the passage of the pro
hibition law, and now, since money
geems so picntiful, there has been a
great increase in the number of fines
paid by persons convicted of misde
meanor offenses Many negroes,
given a fine with the alternative of
a chaingang sentence, now pay the
fine, whereas in the old days they
went to the gang and worked on the
county's roads, This has brought
about a still greater decrease in the
numbe :of convicts, Most of the con
vicets the county recelves now coms
from Judge Humphries' court-—felony
cares where no fine is assessed.”

Ilddie Rickenbacker, ace of aces

“Engaged to Eddie Rickenbacker?
My goodness, no.
“There 'isn't one little jota of

make such a nice announcement.
I'd shout it and sing it and maybe
weep it to all the world, in my joy.
“Why, I scarcely know him and
haven't the slightest idea where the
dear boy is. And, for all I know,
he may have a wife and three chil=

“I guess’'the story got started 1
when, some time ago, Eddie and 1 '

Mayor Makes Speech Asking
Withdrawal of Plea for
More Pay. -
Mayor Key in an address at Fire
Station No. 1 Saturday morning ap
pealed to about 200 firemen of the
Atlanta fire department to take the
lead in a broad movement by which
it is hoped to bring conditions back to
normal. |
The mayor's address was delivered
for the pupose of getling the fire
men to withdraw their petition for a
S3O per month increase in wages to
come before the City Council Monday.
The meeting was arranged by mem
bers of the firemen's committee
which conferred with the mayor Fri
day and to which the mayor had pre
viously outlined his plans.
The firemen have not withdrawn
their petition for the wage increase,
although it is understood that meet
ings will be sheld at some of the sta
tions Saturday for the purpose of
discussing the mayor's requaest.
LABOR'S CHANCE NOW,
In opening his address Mayor Key
declared that organized labor now
had its opportunity to win world wide
recognition for patriotism and hu
manity. ;
“I would like for the firemen to
take the lead in winning this recog
nition., I know their -demands are
justified, but a start must bé made
somewhere toward getting back to
normal conditions, and it would be a
fine thing for the credit to come to
the employees of the city of Atlanta. ,
“Unless some one takes the lead
in this direction and the strikes now
pending are averted,” the mayor said,
“we are going to experience losses
that will'make those we suffered dur
ing the war seem paltry in com
parison,
WARNS OF CALAMITY,
“If the operation of rallroads is tied
up by a nation wide strike it will
mean that millions of men, women
and children will be thrown out of
employment, for it will tie up trans
portation facilities to such an extent
that it will be impossgible to conduct
business. It not only will force the
rail workers themselves into a state
of idleners, but will force millions to
starve from the lack of work,
“It is the firemen of Atlanta that I
want to see take the lead in thé broad
movement that will place organized
labor as the most patriotic class of
people in the world, If you men take
the lead and other unions follow, it
will result in not only winning your
demands, but you will win the heart
of humanity along with them
“I do not blame the rallroad men,
nor do 1 blame you for wanting an
inérease in wages. During the war
every one was intensely patriotic and
made every sacrifice necessary to car
ry it through to a successful conclu
sion, but now conditions have re
versed and it seems s though the
higgest thought is how much we can
grab”
SCORES DEALERS.
Here the mayor took a wallop at
local dealers und landlords. MHe de
clared that it was enough to cause
the firemen to seek an Increase in
wages when they were charged dous
ble prices every titue they made a
purchase of food or clothing
The merchants foree us to pay SSO
to $76 for a cheap hand-me-down
sult of clothes, he sald, and the gro
cery dealers are Just asx bad about
charges for foodstuffs, and the land
lords are contributing their bit to the
pregent state of unrest by charging
unheard of rents so houses and
rooms to live in, These are the things
that are causing the great unrest
among workers, Lut un'ess some one
lk! irte things in the other direction it
{5 easy to ree what the result will be
in the end.”

Pershing, commander of the Amer
fcan A. E. F. in France, today de
clined to recognize the right of the
Congressional Committee on War Ex
penditures and Treatment of Prison
ers to question him for information.
The ‘“interview” between General
Pers¢hing and the congressmen lasted
only four minutes. :
| The meeting was arranged for 10
’u'v!«mk this morning at the general's

’:nrri\'ml they found General Pershing
absent. ‘
ARRIVES AT 10:30.
‘ General Pershing had gone to say
i good-by to f’rnmlor Clemenceau and
{:t was 10:30 before he reached his

{patient investigators.
The committee was headed by
Representative Royal C. Johnson of
South Dakota.
‘ General Peyshing, who is busily
{preparing for his departure for home
inext week, said he regarded the in
'u-rvir‘w as purely a “social call,” but
|the members of the committee took
{another view of it. The American
!(umm:md»r explained that he was
i\(-l') busy and,'in any event, the rec
lords of army transactions had all
Eho't'll shipped to Washington.
! NO “SOCIAL AFFAIR.”
’ After the conference members of

Pershing Tells
French Good-by
In Press Note
(By International News Service.)
PARIS, Aug. 30.—~“None of
us will ever forget the
period of the war when
the American forces were as
sembled and trained for battle,
under the protection of the ar
mies of France and England
while these armies were holding
the enemy at bay,” said General
Pershing in a farewell message
to the French press today. “Nor
will we ever forget when we
joined with you in the second
battle of the Marne.
“Upon this past foundation
our future relations must rest.
We will regard these days of
comradeship and strife and
struggle more and more an ever
lasting bond between our peo
ples.”
‘
The County Commission, in special
sessfon Saturday at noon, refused the
request of Grady Hospital officials
for $75,000 for the completion of the
new nurses’ dormitory.
* Commissioners, in taking this ae
_L_‘ionx made it plai nthat it was sole'y
due to the strained financial condi
tion of the county, the heavy burden
this vear of having to pay for all city
i’nm‘ovomnms, Sympathy for the
movement was expressed, but com
missioners said it was absolutely out
of the question for the county to give
the ‘city any more money this vear.
The request for the appropriation
was formally presented by Steve R.
Johnston, superintendent of the hos
pital, who explained that at least
$75,000 would be required to, complete
the dormitory. He urged that the
county make an appropriation, de
claring the hospital officials would
gladly receive anything “from $5,000
to the necessary $75,000."
Dr. W, L. Gilbert, chairman of the
County Finance Committee, explained
that the county now virtually |is
“broke,” that it is having to borrow
money to meet current expenses.
“We have already had to borrow
extensively and will have to continue
borrowing until the new taxes com
mence coming in latg in the fall—if
the banks should shut down on our
credit, we would be up against it in
reality.”
All of the commisgioners said they
would be glad to ald the hospital fur
ther if the treasury would permit. The
county, in the spring, appropriated
$25.000 for the dormitory, it being un
derstood at that time that this sum
would complete it
