EXPRESSMEN’S WAGE AGREEMENT REACHED
HOOVER DECLINES TO COMMIT HIMSELF TO DEMOCRACY;
SENATE TO HECKLE WILSON OVER NEW APPOINTMENTS
| R
Results of His Refusal to Line Up
With Democrats Waited With
Interest—Friends* See Chance
{ Pevelopments 1n the agitation to
induce the subcommittee of the State
Democratic’ Executive Committee to
place the name of Herbert Hoover on
the ballot in the presidential primary
of April 20 were awaited eagerly by
Democratic leaders Thursday, follow
ing receipt by Secretary Hiram L.
Gardner of Eatonton of a telegram
from Mr. Hoover, that he “had not
been identified with the Democratic
party before the war.” and that “he
_ diG not intend” to file his name in
the Georgia contest.
This message from Mr, Hoover was
construed by Democrats generally to
mean he has put the fight squarely
up to bhis friends in this State, and
declined to commit himself to the
Ifemocratic party, g
. While no definite move had been
made Thursday, it wsas believed' the
principal backers of the former food
administrator, including the Dem
ocrats who filed the original petition
with the subcommittee for placing
his name on the ballot, would at once
renew-their insistence that this name
go before the voters of Georgia in
the primary. It was pointed out that
Mr. Hoover did not place any ban,
whatever, on the activities of his
friends in Georgia, or elsewhere. He
gimply made it plain that, bevause of
R the fact that he had not been a party
man, he personally would not ask the
Democratic committee to give him a
place on the Georgia ballot.
HOOVER’S MESSAGE.
Mr. Hoover, in stating his position
as a non-party man, explained that
his connection with the government
ir® the war was “solely a war serv
fce.” This telegram follows:
New York, Feb. 26, 1920,
Hon. Hiram I’4. Gardner,
Secretary State Democratic Execu-
A tive Committee.
Eatonton, Ga.
1 feel confident that it is not nec
essary to dwell at lemgth upon my
gratitude to you for the honor im
plied in your letter of February 22.
1 especially appreciate it, since I
was not identified with the Dem
ocratic party before the war, and my
A official connection with the govern
ment has been solelv a war service,
and consequently not of a partisan
character.
I have not been able to persuade
myself at all that any real publie
serviee will be performed by injecting
myself into the race for the nomina
tion to the greatest honor at the dis
posal of the American people,
Therefore, aside from any other
reason, 1 do not intend to file my
name.
HERBERT HOOVER.
The telegram from Mr. Hoover
eame in response to the letter of in
quiry written to him by Secretary
Gardner by direction of the subcom
mittee. It was in answer to the
question as to whether he wished to
I qualify as a “Democrat” and have his
name placed on the Georgia ballot.
FLYNT SBEES NO HOPE,
This action by the sub-committee
followed published statements of Mr,
Hoover, in which he declined to align
himself with either party. It was
hased on a rule of the sub-commit
tee that provides “the name of any
Democrat may be placed on the pres
idential ballot on petition of 100 or
more citizens, or by his own appli
cation.” Members of thh sub-com
mittee held that, unless Mr. Hoover
should qualify by declaring himself
a Democrat, his name could not go
on the ballot under the terms of this
rule.
{ Chairman J. J. Flynt of Griffin,
chairman of the State Democratic
Jixecutive Committee, in a statement
on the situation, made it plain the
message of Mr. Hoover eliminates

England, Pushed for Lead, Sees
Threatening Possibilities in
the U. S. Merchant Marine.
By ROBERT J. PREW,
Staff Correspondent Universal Service ‘
LONDON, Feb. 26.—England is in
dread lest America wrest from her
the supreme position in world ship
ping.
England does not consider the
present policy of the United States
Shipping Board and of her own do
minions “fair competition.”
England also fears America may
ultimately capture the world's coal
trade.
These facts were brought out in an
address by W. J. Noble before the
Chamber of Shipping of the United
Kingdom, of which he is president. He
said:
“The rise of the American mercan
tile fleet is one of the world facts
arising from the war,
GROWING STRENGTH.
. “It would be a profound mistake
to underestimate its growing,
strength. It probably will not con-!
tinue at its recent rate of progress, |
but the shipbuilding potentialities of
the United States justify the Amari-'
cans in hoping ultimately to occupy |
the supreme position.
“They are now, as in the middle of
the last century, following closely
upon Great Britain’s heels,
“l have faith in my own country
men as shipbuilders and ship own
ers. Britain is prepared to meet any
fair competition. But no one can re
gard the present policy of the United
States Shipping Board and that ot{
our own dominions as fair competi- |
tion.
BUILD AT ANY COST.
“The policy of each is to build upa
mercantile marine at any cost, rely
ing upon the national purpose to'
make good any deficiency, which isa
serious menace to private enterprise.”
In voicing his fear that America
might capture the world's coal trade,
Mr. Noble said America was now
putting coal aboard steamers at 30
shillings a ton, as against England's
figure of 100 shillings. The discrep
ancy, he said, was due largely to the
fact only 8 per cent of British coal is
cut by machinery, while America s
cutting 50 per cent of her output me.
chanically. The American miner, he
added, is producing two and a half
times the quantity put out by the
British miner.

with the proviso that it shall fly the

The text of the bill follows:
“Re it enacted by the Senate and |

ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1920.
Roswell Railroad, Lawrenceville
Branch and H. and F. S, Op
erating at Loss, Says Miller.
At least three short line railroads
in Georgia, including the Roswell
{Railmad from Roswell to Chamblee,
and Lawrenceville Branch Railroad
from Lawrenceville to Suwanee, and
the Hawkinsville and Florida South
ern, from Hawkinsville to Camilla,
will be forced to suspend operation
after their return to private owner
ship, in the opinion of Henry W.
Miller, vice president of the Southern
Railroad, presented to the Railroad
Commission.
Mr. Miller told the commission the
last two roads named can not possi
bly, in hi opinion, take up the bur
den of expenses, inasmuch as they
have been operated at great loss even
under federal eontrol.
The railroads will be given back
to their private owners March 1 but
the goternment has agreed to guar
antee all expenses until September
1, after which date, in the opinion of
Mr. Miller, the roads will have to
suspend.
OPERATED AT LOSS,
The Roswell Railroad has been op
erated by the Southern Railroad since
the expiration of its charter ten years
ago. Mr. Miller estimated there has
been at least $50,000 loss in its oper
ation during the last nine months.
The Southern Railroad, he says,
will relinquish its authority over the
Roswell Rallroad after March 1. The
road is ten miles long.
Mr. Miller stated also he has sev
ered his connection with the Law
renceville Branch Railroad, which is
a separate corporation, but operated
with equipment and on rails owned
by the Southern. This road, he said,
has been losing from $5,000 to $6,000
a month,
There 1s some hope, however, to
save it if the city of Lawrenceville
wishes *to operate it. In that case,
the Southern will allow the road te
continue using the rails and equip
ment,
H. & F. 8. LOSING HEAVILY,
The Hawkinsville and Florida
Southern Railroad, Mr. Miller said, is
doing little or no business, and will
not be able to begin to make its in
come meet expenses, Thin road has
suffered much through federal con
trol as it is crossed by a number of
trunk lines, which took away much
of its business, ‘lt is 95 miles long,
and touches a number of important
towns in South Georgla.
With the return of the railroads
the Railroad Commission will re
sume its former powers over the eon
struction of depots and other im
provements. During the two years
of government operation and one
year previous, no work of that char
acter has been done. The commis
sion expects a deluge of such work
when the private owners get the
rails back, and it is announced that
the commission will assume the same
attitude towards these projects as it
formerly held, passing on petitions
for work, and ordering it when neces
sary.

Nomination of Crane as En

! (By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, ¥eb, 26.—The
‘quarrel between President Wilson
an antagonistic Congress is expected
(to break out in a new place as soon
'as the name of Bainbridge Colby, the
lnew]y appointed secretary of state,
comes up before the Senate for
confirmation.
It was predicted at the capitol to
day the Senate not only may take
its own time to confirm the appointee
but the President’s political enemies
would seize the opportunity to attack
him from a new angle.
The name of Charles R. Crane, re
cently announced at minister to
i(.‘.hina., is likewise before the Senate,
and in congressional circles it is
lsuid his confirmation will not go
through any more smoothly than
i that of the new secretary.
' Senator Philander Knox, Republi
ecan of Pennsylvania, was secretary
of state under Taft at the time of
Crane's first appointment as United
States representative in the Orient
and was instrumental in having the
new minister recalled before he had
reached his post.
Now, iln the Senate he will bhe
called upon, along with other Re
publicans, to pass upon Crane, ap
pointed again, this time by a Demo
cratic President.
Comment among Democrats {s fav
orable and that both Colby and
Crane will ultimately be confirmed,
is nowhere seriously disputed, Never
theless, considerable bitterness is ex
pressed in the camp of the Presi
dent’s political enemies and it be
lieved here that before confirmation
is finally voted there will be some
lively popping off of steam.
