bottlers battle over
ATTACK ON UNION LABOR
President Hugo Calls
Union Supporters
Cowards.
CONVENTION REFUSES
TO PUBLISH ADDRESS
Walter Stapleton and Childs
Carr Stand Up for Un
ions and Answer
Hugo.
A red hot time developed In the final
business session of the American Bot
tlers' Protective Association convention
In the Kimball house Wednesday.
Unionism and Its relations to the bot
tlers brought on a stormy meeting, and
some caloric utterances resulted. Pres
ident Hugo deserted the chair to de
fend his address of Tuesday, In which
he made some caustic remarks about
unionism.
"A man who will employ only union
labor Is a traitor to hla country. If
be signs a contract to do so he Is both
a coward and a fool.”
He made a savage attack on Samuel
Gompers, president of the Federation
of Labor, and said that Gompers' threat
to depose forty congressmen who had
gone contrary to his demands, was a
big bluff, and that the whole business
was a game of four-flushing.
George W. Tucker, of Philadelphia,
brought on the storm, ana after he had
done so, stood squarely In the brunt
of It. Tuesday D. L. V. MoffeJ, of Bos
ton. moved to have copies of file presi
dent's address printed and sent out to
bottlers all over the country The mo
tion prevailed.
Moved to Rescind.
Sleeping a night over It, however,
seemed to have changed the viewpoint
of many of the delegates. The attack
on unionism made them shy of the
question. Then Mr. Tucker moved to
rescind the action.
Up came VValter Stapleton, of
Brtdegeport, Conn., In a rousing de
nunciation of the attack on the unions,
and said that It was unwarranted and
uncalled (or. He said that the sigoll
bottlers got their patronage from union
men and their famine*/ nml a man
would be a fool to Indorse anything
that took the broad from his own and
his rhlldrcn's mouths.
In this view he received the support
of ('hades Carr, while pandemonium
turned loose In the hall. Throughout
the attack President Hugo sat quietly,
but his Jaw drew down In an aggres
sive manner, and the glint of battle
came Into his eyes. Then he took the
Uoor:
Hugo 8poke Plainly.
"You come here under the plea that
you didn't want my addreaa printed
because It would cost $400 to do so. I
was prepared to take the wind out of
your sails by offering to pay the ex-
r nse of It out of my own pocket. But
knew your plea was not the truth,
and thnt your objection lay much
deeper than that."
Turning to Mr. 8tapleton, he said:
"You may depend on union men for
your trade.”
"I do," was the sharp retort.
"Yes, but you are not this whole
convention."
"Maybe not, but I am as much of It
*s you," came the reply. ,
President Hugo then stated that the
bottlers were squarely up against this
union question, and that It was nothing
but arrant cowardice to dodge It now.
He said that only one man In fourteen
belonged to the unions.
"It Is not a question of honoring me
b) minting that speech, but whether
yu have manhood enough to stand by
•he principles I set forth In It. Are you
! if to lay down like a set of whipped
iu >" if you don't stand to me l brand
every man voting to rescind as a cow
ard—the most contemptible term ap
plicable to man."
“Alatne Greats Bunksr Hill.”
As he concluded President Laxenbee,
of the Texas bottlers, came forward
and shook his handf
That's the stuff. The Alamo greats
Bunker Hill." 1
But President Hugo lost his fight,
and the convention voted to rescind.
Afterwards President Hugo said he
would have the speech printed »nd
ient out at his own expense.
The convention was tardy In getting
down to business Wednesday. Sched
uled t„ begin work at 10, It was 11
"Clock before the gavel fell. The aes-
: u i> to the clash on the union ques-
was decorous. There were reports
>mmittee* covering purely class la.
Interest to the bottlers,
communication relative to the
t,fo' ona , pur ® food law was of Impor
tance in that It was stressed that the
>' » mic would actually help Instead
■ injure the bottlers' business. The
S IDLE:

Committee.
to
About 200 striking machinists gath
ered In Federation hell, In North For
syth street, Wednesday morning to re-
relve the report* ot the committee ap
pointed at the meeting Tuesday.
No change has been reported In the
strike situation at the shops of the
Southern road. The big buildings have
closed down and not a wheel has turned
since Monday, The machinists claim
that an unsuccessful attempt was made
Tuesday to supplant the union men
with strike-breakers, but the pickets
persuaded the non-union men not to
Interfere, and they left the vicinity.
There la not the slightest Indication
of any trouble, as the strikers are or
derly, and none but the pickets remain
about the vicinity of the shops. Ex
cept for the newspaper reports, none
but those directly affected by the strike
would know that the machinists had
walked out.
F. W. McCabe, business manager for
the machinists' union, said Wednesday
morning that there were no develop
ments In the situation.
"There has been no change In the
strike," said he, "which would bear di
rectly or Indirectly on the situation.
The committees nre all out yet and
nothing will be known until they make
full reports. The machinists will hold
meetings In the Federation hall every
day as long as the strike lasts."
TAR SWIMS
TO SHORE IN GALE
AND SAVES LIVES
Detroit,. Mich., Oct. 10.—Two boats
wrecked, two others hard aground, two
lives lost and a score or more' laved
by the merest chance or by the brave
efforts of rescuers Is the story of Mon
day's storm on the lakes.
When the Foster ifhick In the dark'
ness of the night and the fierce storm
threatened to grind the wooden craft
to pieces In short order, death to the
crew seemed Inevitable. Ed Jacobson,
a sailor, taking a desperate chance that
only seemed inviting death, with
line held In his teeth plunged Into the
rough sea nnd swam for the shore,
which he reached after a desperate
battle with the waves. A breeches buoy
was rigged up and the remaining mem
bers of the crew were brought safely
to the shore.
Of the crew of the Pasadenn only
two were lost. The crew of the wreck
ed Ada Medora were saved, although
the boat was pounded to pices.
FIFTEEN CHINKS CAUGHT.
Providence, R. I., Oct. 10.—With the
capture In this harbor of the schooner
yacht Frolic and her load of. fifteen
Chinamen, who were being smuggled
Into the country, the local police and
the Federal Immigration authorities arc
still In the dark as to the syndicate
that Is behind the enterprise. The of
ficers of the boat escaped.

brought his count up to three nnd two.
Oil his next attempt he sent a slow
grounder lo Donohue, which the drat
baseman fielded perfectly. Schulte tried
a bunt, but Rohe picked up the ball
nnd threw him out at first. No hit*,
no runs.
Reulbach threw two balls when Hahn
met the third. It was a grounder to
Stelnfeldt, which was fielded to Chafice.
When Jones batted a magnificent sil

lustily. White put two strikes over on
"Slugger" Stelnfeldt In a hurry. The
third ball missed the plate by a half
Inch. Stelnfeldt smote the next nnd
made a clean single to left. It was

The big gates of the Georgia state
fair swung open Wednesday morning
at 10 o'clock and the first day of the
home-coming of Georgia-born was on
to continue until October 20.
A chilly October wind made over
coats comfortable, but failed to pre
vent the throngs of visitors from going
out to the grounds to Inspect the ex
hibits In the main hall and to ,seek
amusement on the midway.
The "ballyhoos" unllmbered their
husky voices and after noon the mid
way began lo wake up nnd take on a
business-like appearance. Nearly all
of these attractions have brass bands
and the noise made things look Inter
esting.
Several prominent Georgians were on
the grounds early In the day. Gov

WINTRY WEATHER MAKES
ATLANTA STEP LIVELY
"Brr—. gee, It's cold!"
“Where did I leave my overcoat last spring? Where'd I put my
gloves?”
"Have you ordered that ton of coal? Why didn’t you? And we need
some weather strip* on that north window."
Atlanta awoke Wednesday morning to greet a real winter day. Half
the city shivered on Its way uptown. There was a display of last sea
son's overcoats and an atmosphere of/mothball* and camphor.
Business at the soda fountains waa dull Wednesday morning. Th
rew druggists who had read the forecast and prepared hot chocolate and
other winter drinks were In luck, but the Ice Dill* were smaller than
for many months.
It was almost freeilng weather. At the .bureau the official record
showed $8 degrees between * and 7 o'clock, only 6 degree* above freez
ing point.
But it will take only a few hours for Atlanta to get used to It. The
chilly weather will put more vigor Into the city, the snappy breeze* that
whistle around the comers will merely make people step livcljer. The
state fair will draw Just a* big a crowd and unless the cold Is accompan
ied by high wind* the airship will sail as announced.
