The supply and demand in {he market necessarily chidnge these dif ferences from time to time, and when these are ascertained they are ngortm to the department of agriculture. ased on these Jl"mm:u, dally telegraphic reports »f the market are furnished to the/goveru ment at its request. To ascertain the different values between Ihe twenty-odd commercial grades of cot jon, it has been customary for years for L):n cotton merchants and other parties terested 1o meet, discuss the relative values of different grades and determine yow much each grade is on or off middling fotton, which is taken as the basis, someo ‘f the grades having a value above mid ling and some below. As far as we Ccan moertain, this is custemary In every Siz \blée market in the /eotton beit. These Mlferences are not binding on Any oné, but jpresent the ideas of various merchants 18 1o the commercial value of different grades, and the ideas of differences ascer mined from such discussions are generally ssed to standardize the difference in lim e used in buying or selling in this mar ret.

We have every confidence in Mr., Atkinson’s honesty of purpose and his fairness and we believe he will yet give the 'men what they are asking for, which i{g nothing more than right and just. “The men have voted to stand pat until they do get a living wage, The ' only way this strike can be ended is for the street car company to give it to them. We are going to give them every opportunity to do so.” Mr. Reardon, who also spoke to the men, declined to comment on the ac tion of the union men after receiving instructions from the international board to return to work in accept ance of the arbitrator’'s decision. STRIKE CONDEMNED. All detalls and questions connected with the strike of the street car men were “threshed out” at the session of the directors of the Chamber of Commerce which Mayor Key at tanded ns a @member of the board. The resoiution adopted at the meet~ ing follows: “Whereas, the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce in its membership of 3,- 400 business men and women repre sents the business and clvic inter ests of Atlanta; and “Whereas, the business intérests of our city are being vitally and in juriously affected, and the civic in tersets especially, Including our echools, are suffering by reason of the strike of street car motormen and conductors: and “Whereas, in our opinion this strike is absolutely unwarranted, involv ing as it does a repudiation by these gtrikers of their contractual obliga tions and a reunuciation of the prin ciple of voluntary arbitration for which organized labor stands; “Therefore, be it resolved, that we condemn this strike as unwarranted and unfair, and call upon every labor organization in Atlanta to aid in up holding their own principles of free-' dom of contract and voluntary arbi tration, and urge that these strikers, HOW TO DARKEN 1 GRAY HAIR 1 A Cincinnati Barber Tells How to Make aßemedy for Gray Hair Mr. Frank Harbaugh of Cincinnatl, Ohin, who has been a barber for more than forty years, recentlyl made the following statement: “Anyone can prepare a simple mixture at home, at very little cost, that will darken gray hair, and make it soft and glossy., To a half-pint of water add 1 ounce bay rum, a small box of Barbo Compound and 1-4 ounce glycerine, These ingre dients can be bhought at any drug store at very little cost.

Due to the effi cient method by whica transportation was furnished in gemng employees to and from work, the necessity of clos ing earlier has been eliminated. Here’s a new way to avoid having to walk to and from your work dur ing the strike. It was tried out suc cessfully by a “walker” in East Hun ter sireet Thursday morning. When this man, whose identity was not discloged, left hime in East Hun ter street, he pinned a big placard on his pack, that read. el OB He had gone but a short distance when a passing automobilist, at tracted by the sign, stopped his car and rendere dthe necessary response to the “8 O 8. Atlantans are getting better ac quainted through the medium of the street car strike and the “give a lift” custom which has sprung up among Atlanta autoists, Although the good samaritan or “give a lift” plan came into vogue early Wednesday morning on the in dividual initiative of drivers, Jack Lewis, vice president of the Atlanta Automobile Association, sought to make the system general by calling on all autoists to be on the look out for walkers, He also called on pedestrians .to exercise the privilege of hailing any passing automobile with a vacant seat and asking for a lift. \ s ~ MARIETTA, March 11.—Resolu "uons ugpholding the company's side of the street car strike have been adopted by the Rotary Club of Ma rietta, as follows: ‘ “That the Rotary Club go on rec~| ord as favoring the open shop and as favoring laws declaring strikes on public utilities illegal and re quiring all labor unions to be in corporated under State laws. Further, believing that a fair arbitration has been given the employees of the street ear company and they having declared a strike in the face of this arbitration, we urge the company to allow thier cars to remain idle un til thev are able to operate on an open shop basis. Further, that we request the governor to accord what ever protection may be needed.” The street car strike furnisned At lantans with a slight reminder of war time days when a parade of big army motor trucks passed through Whitehall and Peachtree streets early Thursday. The trucks were hauling negro workmen to Camp Gordon. Gov ernment authorities have established a regular truek train transport gerv ice. Mayvor Key does not appear to be disturbed oy the street car strike— in his private capacity, at least. He declined a dozen offers of a ride themselves, abide by the result of an arbitration duly entered into, and in the interest of Atlanta as Atlantans they return to their post of duty." MAYOR OPPOSES STRIKE. Condemnation of the action of the street car workers in going out on strike was unanimous at the sessnkon. Mayor Key said he had told the men they had made a mistake and had offered to serve as best he could in perduading them to return to work.! Mayor Ke ysaid he wanted to hear expressions from all the directors on the situation and after he had heard italks by President Fugene R. Black, [ P. Mcßurney, W. O. Foote, Charles T. Nunnally, R. K. Rambo, J. K. Orr and Forrest Adair he offered his plan to solve the question. The mayor -said that in his opin jon the whole matter should be sub mitted to a commission composed of Atlanta citizens that he would name. He said the case should be settled on its merits and that all details en tering into the dispute should be considered. He said the question of what the men should receive, the question of how much the company question of increasing the fare should was able to pay the men and the be submitted to this commissian and that the commission should have au thority to examine the books of the company to ascertain all the facts in the ocase. “The men should accept the arbi tration board report and return to work. This commission could then go into_the case and ttle it on its merits,” he said. ¥orrest Adair made a short speech in which he said the suggestion of the mayor is impossible as the com pany should not B® asiked to re-open the case after it hal teen settied by the arbitration board. He said +he Chamber of Commerce has nouth ing to do with what the company should pay its men. He said such a commission's findings would not be binding on the ctmpany. would not be binding on the people as to in creased fares and that agreements by the men had ben found not to be binding on them. “If the striking workers will notl listen to Mayor Key, who has their confidence,” said Mr. Adair. “I think the public is willing to put up with the inconveniences for a short time longer until the mayor or some per son who bhas their confidence, can Aonvince them that they have made a mistake,” said Mr. Xdair, President Eugeéne R. Black said that the sreet car workers have dealt the cause of union libor a deadlier blow than could have oeen deliverad in any other way. He said they had refused to abide by an arbitration bhoard although their leaders have fought for years for the right of vol untary arbitration, i SCHOOLS REOPEN. All city public schools opened on schedule Thurseday morning, it was announced by the city educational de partment, except ' Inman Park and Home Park schools, and certain classes in the English Avenue School. and pupils, starting from their homes earfer than was customary, were able to reach the buildings on time.

So it seemed to hundreds of Deecatur people. The local was‘ one hour and five minutes late leav- | ing Decatur. Ir was sidetracked there to allow the morning through . train to pass. The through train picked up a few persons, but it stop ped so far down the track those gathered at the station did not know it. For all the delay the crowd re tained its good humor. Hope was | expressed that the streét cars would run soon, or the railroad would fur nish adequate service, Numerous automobile trucks, has tily equipped with seating arrange ments, have been pressed into serv ice. Decatur residents employed by large concerns in Atlanta, especially the department stores and the tele phone company, were provided with special conveyances by the em.- ployers. ¥ “Don’t use the telephone except for necessar ycalls. The street car strike has put a vast volume of new busi ness on the telephone wires and busi ness comes before social ch=t” was the message sent out to clubwomen Thursday by the home economics de partment of the Atlanta Woman's Club, of which Mrs. Newton C, Wing is chairman, * “We hope all women will join in this effort to save the valuable time of business men and women,” said Mrs. Wing Thursday. | ; ——— Walter Taylor, Atlanta's—er—cor pulent city clerk, approves of the street car strike—for himself. He entered his office thursday a trifle red, but, upon regaining his breath,l he announced he hadn't minded the little jaunt in from Tenth street. “With that sun and this strike I'll be alright in a month,” he observed. “That little boat of mine I bought when things were more prosperous got temperamental and went out in sym pathy with the car man. In a month I ought to be able to see my shoes again.” Taxicab men and jitney bus lines are doing an enormous business be tween Decatur and Atlanta. Many persons owning automobiles carried their friends, and fellow citizens strangers to them until the emer gency brought them together. While the cases of this kind were numerous the situation has not been relieved. It was a lot of fun Wednesday morning, this business of getting to work. At night, it wasn’t quite seo funny and Thursday morning all the laugh was gone from folks who live out Decatur way—Kirkwood, Oak hurst, Mynatt and the rest of the stops. ‘When the cars didn’t run Wednes day morning, nearly everybody piled or clung on” the local train from Augusta which passes through De catur about 7:30 in the morning. The conductor couldn’'t budge in ers unable to reach their classes would be paid in full STRIKERS’ FIRST MEETING. The street car strikers held their first daily meeting Thursday at 10 o'clock in the Red Men's Wigwam with between 1,000 and 1,200 in at tendance. The meeting was execu dve and was addressed by Teat, Reardon and Bell. ~ Groups of strikers congregated about the meeting hall for more than an hour before the meeting commenced. The majority of the men had changed their uniforms for civélian clothes and very few ap peared wearing insignia which iden tified them as striking employees of the Georgia Railway and Power Company. Although the original strike vote -was declared to be unanimous at the Wednesday morning meeting, there were many who voted against the walkout on the first ballot these, however, waiving their opposition later when the majority two-thirds controlled the vote under union rules and brought about the strike. Rasolutions adopted by a meeting of local young business men called on individuals to help protect the public and to voluntesr as street car operators until a settlement can be reached. Neither the power com pany nor the employees were criti cized, participants stating merely that the people should be protected and that quick action should be taken to resume car service. The document was placed at Five Points for signa tures.
