Salary Committee Rejects Plea of
-Mayor Key and Discounts Pos
sibility of Danger in Move.
Representatives Say Cody’s Men
Have Not Authorized Them to
Withdraw Wage Raise Petition.
Atlanta firemen will ignore the re
quest of Mayor Key to withdraw their
petition for a flat S3O monthly in
crease in salary beginning October 1.
Despite the executive's appeal to a
delegation Friday and to the general
body of firemen in a speech Saturday,
the petition will go to council at the
regular session Monday.
This course was declared certain by
the salary committee, which obtained
the unanimous endorsement of the
Board of Firemasters, in a statement
issued Saturday. It was signed by
Assistant Chief W. B. Codey and Cap
tains C. E. Pritchett, Tas Short, Earl
King, Claud Reid and S. M. Smith.
The statement follows:
HIGH COST OF LIVING.
“The undersigned salary committee
was appointed by the Atlanta Fire
men’s local No. 134 to present to J.
R. Seawright, chairman, and the
Board of Firemasters, and W. . B.
Cody, chief of the fire department,
their request for an Increase of S3O
per month, beginning October 1, 1919,
of the salaries of the firemen of At
lanta, the present maximum salary,
officers excepted, being only sllO per
month. While there are a number of
reasons why it is right that this
should be done, the only reason on
which the request was predicated is
the greatly advanced cost of living.
“The request was prepared and
presented, by thé committee in a
body, to those to whom it was ad
dressed, while they were in session
Wednesday, August 27, and the same
was unanimously endorsed, without
a single dissenting vote. We may
say the Board of Firemasters are
members of the General Council, and
are appointed from that body by the
mayor. The General Council, before
whom the question will come for final
settlement, will meet Monday, Sep
tember 1, and it is the pgrpose of this
committee to appear before them on
that date with the request above re
ferred to. -
TO PRESS DEMANDS.
“The Friday afternoon papers car
ried a story to the effect that Mayor
Key had called a committee of the
firemen before him and asked that
the firemen withdraw their request,
giving as his reason for making this
suggestion that for the city to grant
this inerease would, in his judgment,
tend to encourage profiteering, and
that the committee, acting in behalf
of the firemen of Atlanta, had con
sented to his sugsestlo\n and with
drawn the request.
“The story is especially misleading
in that the public coyld very natur
ally infer that the committee referred
to was the salary committee, when
such is nn;ého case, this committee
never havi met Mayor Key on the
subject, or béen invited by him to do
so. Furthermore, we could not, even
if we had thought best and desired
to do so, have withdrawn the request
we have submitted for the reason
that we were not appointed and au
thorized by the firemen to retreat
in the matter but only to press for
ward. &
KEY'S VIEW DISCOUNTED.
“We wish to assure the firemen of
Atlanta, and their friends throughout
the city, that we shall present their
request to the honorable mayor and
General Council on Monday next, at
which time we hope to be able to
gatisfy both the mayor and the coun-
Jcil that his fears as expressed in the
papers will not materialize if our
very modest and conservative request
should be granted, The firemen have
never made and hope never to make
an unreasonable or unmeritorious re
quest of our mayor and concil, and
certainly, the one we are now making
is beyond all question just and fair,
and we confidently expect they will
promptly and gladly grant the same
when they have heard and consider
ed the matter as it will be presented
to them next Monday.
“The mewspaper stories referred to
mention the possibility of the eity
gupplying the firemen at cost with
some of the canned stuff, ete., which
it can purchase from the government,

John Dunwody Is
- Still in Atlanta;
So Are His Grips
Atlanta likes most folks—in fact,
its mighty hard for Atlanta to let
some of them go.
And so it happens John E. Dun
wody Jr.,, of 57 Fast Merritts avg
nue, who is at present doing organ
iza.tion{work in North Carolina, 1s
still with us in our fair city, in
stead of traveling fiorthward in his
automobile,
Mr. Dunwody almost got away.
In fact, he had two handbags filled
with personal property in the rear
of his machine ready for the trip.
Going through the city, he stopped
at the corner of Hunter and White
hall streets and walked to the At
lanta National Bank at Alabama
street to cash a check.
When he returned, the rear seat
of his tar was empty. So Mr. Dun
wody is here, searching for his
property. He announced he would
be unable to leave until the'stores
open or he finds his belongings. He
offered a liberal reward for the re
turn of the bags.

NEW YORK, Aug. 30.+American
fliers, piloting DeHaviland planes
equipped with the latest model Lib
erty motors, captured first, second
and third honors .in the speed con
test of the New York-Toronto amr
derby, and probably in the handicap
contest, too.
Lieut,B. W. Maynard, in a D. H.-4,
won ,in 467. 1-4 minutes; Lieut. Dan
B. Gish, who also used a D. H.-4, was
second, completing the round trip in
503 1-4 minutes and Sergt. A. B.
Coombs, who chose a D, H.-9, fin
ished third in 511 minutes flat.
While the official lists have not
yet been confirmed by the Toronto
judges officials of the American Fly
ing Club authorized this statement
tonight.
as a substitute for a salary increase,
but as the supplies in question are not
of the character needed by the fire
men and their families, they using
staple rather than fancy groceries,
this would not help very materially in
the solution of the very serious prob
lem eonfronting us.
Mention is also made of the possible
extension of ten days’ credit on such
supplies. We would say, and we
trust that we may say it with pardon
able pride, t tahthe Atlanta firemen
have as good credit, in proportion to
their means, as any body of men,
either business or professional, in the
city of Atlanta or the State of Geor
gia. It is not a question of obtain
ing eredit, but of paying our bills if
we do accept it.

“old Dobbin” Now Being Hayed
and Wheated for Voyage
.
Overland to Macon, |
i 1
If old Dobbin continues-to hit on
six cylinders, the kiddies at the
Georgia Industrial Home, six miles
from Macon, will have all the food
and clothing they need during the
fall and winter, but should he de
velop any serious form of engine
trouble the kiddies would = likely
have a different story to tell round
about the time Santa Claus makes
his annual appearance.
old Dobbin is now being “wheat
ed and hayed"—no, not “oiled and
gassed”—for am overland trip to
Macon for the purpose of collect
ing food, clothing and money for
the children at the home. The trip
will be made from Atlanta by Hen
ry J. Langston, special representa
tive of the home, who is hopeful
that by the time he drives his faith
ful “hoss” into the home -yard the
wagon will be filled to overflowing
with things that the children will
need to keep them warm and com
fortable during the fall and winter.
LEND A HORSE.
The horse and wagon which Mr.
Langston will use in.his overland
journey were donated to the home
by W. E. Wimpy of Clarkston, Ga.,
and harness for the horse was do
nated by the Crumley-Sharp Hard
ware Company of Atlanta. The um
brella fastened to the seat of the
wagon is a gift of the King Hard
ware Company of Atlanta.
There is only one objection Mr.
Langston has to playing the Santa
Claus stunt for the little orphans,
and that is he much prefers to drive
two horses on a long trip of the
kind he is getting ready to start.
Although he ® about ready to hop
off on the journey, he declared Sat
urday that “if some good brother
were to drop another horse down
the chimney the plans could be
easily rearranged to provide for the
third member of the expedition,
The home was founded in 1899
by W. E. Mumford for the care of
homeless and dependent children. It
is non-sectarian and is supported
entirely by voluntary contributions.
It is chartered under the laws of
Georgia and furnishes educational
advantages such as offered by the
public schools through the seventh
‘ grade,
| In speaking of the work being
\ done at the home, Mr. Langston
said:
“We are doing a great work that
will count for time and eternity.
We need the help of every big
hearted, patriotic man and woman
in Georgia, and we ought to have
it. We earnestly insist that every
good citizen of our State investigate
the institution and see what we are
doing for the homeless and helpless
children.”
Nobody will be overlooked by Mr,
Tangston when he makes the trip
to Macon. He will not object to
filling the wagon so full it will spill
| over the sides. In fapt, he has pre
‘ pared for just such an emergency
by carrying along a set of side
boards.
Nothing In the way of wearing
apparel or food will be rejected, but,
‘ on the other hand, everything of
fered will be taken, and If it can
' not be used in the home will be con
vertad into cash for the purchase of
lu’niflln.

| the trip-by the middle of this week,

PARIS, Aug. 30.—The Congressional
Committee on War Expenditures and
Treatment of Prisoners which came
to France to secure information from
Gen. John J. Pershing, commander in
chief of the American expeditionary
force, met the commander today, but
the interview lasted only four min

“We will certainly get General Per

Johnson, head of the committee., “The
committee had ample authority to
detain him in France and force him
to testify, but deemed that a discour

it s e ot
teous thing to do on foreign soil. We
particularly wanted to ask General
Pershing why American soldiers were
sent into battle on the morning of
the day the armistice was signed
when many American lives were
needlessly sacrificed.
“This committee came here to get
General Pershing's views on respon
sibility for mistreatment of Ameri
can soldiers, on the court-martial
laws, the burial of our dead and con
cerning the military operations, par
ticularly those on November 10 and
11, 1918, We regarded it important
that General Pershing should give us
the benefit of his intimate knowledge
on these affairs.”
Shown a copy of the committee's
statement, General Pershing said:
“All of the activities of the Ameri
can expeditionary force are open for
investigation, but I found it impossi
ble on the last day of my stay in
France to comply with the commit
tee's request, as all of the records
have already been shipped to the
TUnited States.” |

At a meeting Friday of the execu
tive campaign committee of the
American Cotton Association, Geor
gia Division, Maj. Devereaux F. Mc-
Clatchey was appointed membership
campaign director for the drive which
is about to be launched over the State
in conjunction with similar drives
throughout the South, |
Having been for many years in pub
lic life, he is one of the most promi-i
nent and best known men of the
State. He has served the Georgla‘
Legislature for a number of years,
first as assistant clerk of the House
of Representatives and later as secre
tary of the Senate.
He is perhaps best known by reason
of his position as executive secretary
to the Federal Food Administration in
Georgia during the war, in which po
sition he met an unusual amount of
responsibility with the utmost ability
and unfailing energy.
GETS UNADDRESSED MAIL.
. Although absent from his regular
duties with the Southern Bell Tele
phone Company for the last two
vears, the president of that company
has consented to lend him to the
Georgia Division of the American
Cotton Association for the duration of
the present campaign.
He comes to his new duties with
admirable equipment. His long as
sociation with the Legislature and
with the Food Administration has
given him one of the broadest ac
quaintances in the State. So well
known is he that a letter was recently
mailed from a down State point whose
only address was a picture of Major
McClatchey pasted on the envelope—
and it came safely to its designation. ‘
The campaign for membership will
go forward rapidly. Mr. McClatchey
is surveying the field to line up his'
county organizations, and at the same
time is making a canvass for chanter
memberships, |

| The members of the campaign ex
ecutive committee of the Georgia
Division are elated over their new

“If there is one man in the State
of Georgia who can line up every
farmer with the American Cotton As
sociation, that man-is Dereveaux Me-
Clatchey,” said J. A. Davis, the sec
retary.
Reports from the various parts of
the State which were turned in at
| this meeting shows that interest in
the association is mounting high.
When the actual drive begins in the
near future, there will be few cot
ton farmers in Georgia who will not
be enrolled, according to those who
have been out in the territory.
