Among the veterans attending the
reunion from Nashville, Tenn., are
three men who were with General
Forrest, and who participated in vir
tually all of the principal engage
ments with the “prince of the saddle,”
as General Forrest was commonly
known.
Captain C. B. Temple, Captain A.
‘H. Cross and William Johnson, the
last named a negro, all of whom are
past 70 but young and spry, were
noted featur®s of the parade Friday
morning and each tells an interesting
and vivid story of the great Civil War,
Captain Temple, who says he is 73
years ‘“young,” enlisted in Nashville
at the age of J 4 in 1862 and followed
Forrest in his principal campaigns
throughout Georgia, Tennessee and
Mississippi, receiving two wounds in
the battle at Price Cross Roads and
at Harrisburg, Miss.
TELLS OF BATTLE.
Captain Temple relates his experl
ences at the beit'e of Peachtree creek
at the beginning of the siege of At
lanta in which his regiment partici
pated and almost wiped out. This is
his first visit to Atlanta since that
time and he says he wouldn’'t have
missed coming here for anything.
At Rome, when Forrest, with 516
men, captured General Streight’s com
mand of 1,620 men, Captain Temple
led a company of men past a strategic
point three times to mislead the Fed
eral general, who later surrendered
and saved Rome from destruction. He
also participated in the battle around
Harrisburg, Miss., when General For
rest with 700 men by strategy con
vinced General Stringer of the Union
army with a command of 6,000 men,
that he possessed a larger force and
effected a surrender of the over
whelming Federal numbers. In this
battle just prior to the Federal gen
eral's surrender Captain Temple was
wounded in the head but refused to
leave the field.
Capt. A. H. Gross, who is 77 years
old, was a sérgeant of field artillery
with the First Tennessee Regiment,
and seved under General Lee in the
Tennessee and Virginia campaigns. He
fought gallantly in the battle of Shilo
and in the Richmond siege with Gen
eral Breckenridge, surrendering at
Appomatox courthouse in 1865, |

ATLANTA, GA., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1919
By DUDLEY GLASS,
For more than two hours Friday
many thousands o; Atlanta and Geor
gia folk, thronging! the sidewalks and
overflowing into the streets despite
ropes, policemen and Boy Soouts,
watched the march and countey
march of the Confederate veterans in
the 1919 reunion parade.
Traffic police familiar with street
crowds said the throng which wit
nessed the reunion parad was by far
the greatest Atlanta ever had known,
not excepting those vast assemblages
of the _Libery Loan' and peace
pageants ;
“Only two aeeidents of serious na
ture were reported. *4. F. Pouncey,
an 80-year-old veteran from Ozark,
Ala., was struck by a motorcycle
ridden by Policeman Shumate. He
was taken into the Arcade Building
and afterward sent to Grady Hos
pital.
Miss Louise Stanley of Kirkwood
fell two and- one-half stories from a
window of the Norris Candy Com
pany in DPeachtree street into an al
ley while watching the parade. She
was rushed to St. Joseph’s Infirmary
and"at 1:15 o'clock was reported
dylng. . ~. g
Down the modern Peachtree street,
lined with tall buildings and ablaze
with bunting, 'marched 10,000 aged
men, some of trem wearing the faded
gray, each of them adorned with the
bronze Cross of Honor which marks
the veterans of the sixties,
In the ranks weotre many who re
membered marching down that street
-—~then hardly .more than a country
road leading into the city from
Peachtree Creek-—fifty-five years ago
when Sherman’s cannon were roar
ing in the-distance and Hood, having
fought\ the good fight against over
whelming odds, had determined - ‘o
lead his graybacks southward on the
Jonesboro ‘road and leave the town
of Atlanta to its fate,
There were scores who remembered
the Atlanta of the great retreat, the
blazing buildings and the ashes
which marked the Union general’s
noted marchs to the sea.
A DIFFERENT MARCH,
But . this march down Peachtree
beneath the flying flags and amid
the cheers. of many thousands was
by no means a retreat. It was a
march of victory—of the victory of
health and will' and indomitable
courage over the assault of Father
Time. |

muskets of the Confederacy. Their

Police and other officers in many
Georgia cities and towns Saturday
are on the alert for the masked au

Friday morning, robbed the Fairburn
Banking Company at Fairburn, twen
ty miles from Atlanta,
The bandits got about S2OO, bound

saved from them $50,000 in ‘currency
and bonds in the vaul.
The ' bandits, in- their flight, dé

The robbers escaped in an auto
mobile with only- S2OO, bank officials
announced.
Cashicer Green, with his hands tied
behind’ him, his feet bound with
strong twine, and a gag In his
mouth, narrowly escaped cremation,
being forced to erawl through almost
.5L focating smoke and with: flames
J close behjnd him to the door left open
by the robbers. He plainly showed
Friday the effects of his thrilling
experience. '
~ Mr. Green, despite his peril, first
crawled to the vault and managed to
close the doors, thus saving the books,
papers and records of the bank from
being burned. "
The two buildings were a mass of
wreckage Friday, only the outer walls
being left standing. :
The third building damage® is
owned by L. M. Hobgood, of Fair
burn. The flames ate away a goodly
jortion of the roof of this structure,
ruining- several offices on.the second
floor, and Qdoing considerable damage
on the first floor. All of the strue
tures are two .stories in height.
MiSS RICH HAU}L
THe S2OO obtained by the bandits
had been received in-the bank after
hours Thursday and had not been
placed in the inner safe of the vault.
It was lying . loose in. the. vault 7 and
the robbers had no difficulty in get
t'ing it. Although'the bandits mt:aed
a rich haul in the inner safe, they
worked valiantly to reach it, Cashier
Green stating Friday that they de
mained inside of the vault, tamper

The robbers were unable, however,
to make the slightest impression on
the time lock, which was set to g 0

Cashier Green said he could hear
the bandits talking, and learned .that
they werc greatly peeved ahd dis
appointed because they had neglected
“to bring sufficient tools and ma

wds ‘unable to catch all they said,
however, as, when they entered the
vault, they pulled the doors shut

The entire sectiofi about Fairburn
was stirred by, the daring crime and
a great crowd gathered in the main
street in front of the burned struc

wrought by the bandits and to dis

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.—The ins
dustrial conference was forced t‘ ade
Journ today until Tuesday. {
So many resolutions and plans fo®
‘curing the ecomomic and industriall
unrest have been submitted to the
conference that the committee of fif+
teen has been unable to form a Te=
port on any of them. Without this
report from the committee, the cons
ference can take no action. Thomas
L. Chadbourne, is chairmen, ans
nounced that the committee would
meet next on Monday morning. :
Wide differences of opinion on
practically all questions are held by,
\the membßers of the committes of fit-'
teen. Ons of the zrags is the labor
i ~esolutivn calling for a settlement,
|ot the steel strike by a committee of
six from the conference. Heated des|
‘batm already have been held. No dex
Icuion has been reached. }
EMPLOYERS' PROGRAM, :
The employers group in the cons
‘ference, headed by Harry A. Wheel-|
er, ‘a Chicago banker, submitted
“platform of principles,” which thot
employing interests of, the country
consider vital in governing the re<|
lationship tnat must exist between,
capital and labor. ' :
Chief among the principles set,
forth is the idea that the ‘“open”
shop must be maintained throughout|
the country. In that part of the
platform was this significant state-!
‘ment: »
“No employer should be required
to deal with men or groups of men'
‘who are not his employees or chosen
by and from among them.” Slgicd
' This was generally interpreted as
‘in direct opposition to the prlnclplu!
of -international trades unionism nndz
the settlement of disputes by inth‘
national officers. it
. OUTSIDERS BARRED. {
The platform held rigidly to the
principle that "“outsiders” have Ml‘\
the right to interfere in the rela
tions of employer and employes. !
Regarding the settlement of induss |
trial disputes the employers said: |
TEN PRINCIPLES. |
With full recognition of the vitad
importance of these conditions and!
with due realization of the great re
sponsibility resting upon mnup*
ment to secure their practical mfl-;
cation in industrial gffairs, we submit
ten principlés which we regard as
fundamentally sound in the interests
of industry, of those employed or con='
cerned in industry and of the peopls.
as a whole. ’
“There should be no intentional re«,
strictions of productive effort or M‘E
put by either employer or the em=:
ployée to create an articificial scar
city of the product or of labor in or
der to increase prices or wages, nor,
should there be any waste of the D“"
ductive eapacity of industry through
the employment of unnecessary labor
or inefficient management.
“Each establishment should develop
contact and full opportunity for in«
terchange of views between manage
ment and men, through individuar or:
collective dealing or a combination of
both, or by some other effective
method, always predicated on bath
sides on honesty of purpose, fairness
of attitude and due recognition of the
joint interests and obligation in the
common enterprise in which they are
engaged.
MUST CONSIDER WORKERS.
“It is the duty of management to
make certain that the conditions un
der which work is being carried on
are as safe and as satisfactory tomo.
workers as the nature of tha busi
ness reasonably permits. Every :i
--fort should be made to maiq 1
steady employment of the workers
both on their accounts and to in )i
efficiency. Each establishment should
study carefully the cause of unem
ployment and individuaily and in co-"
operation with other establishments
in the same and other industries
should endeavor to communicate and
to maintain conditions and business’
methods which will result hl Y
greatest possibie stability in the em
