ATLANTA, GA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1906.
PRICE:
HAVE YOU JOINED THE LEAGUE?'
IT IS GETTING HEADY TO ACT;
BE A CHARTER MEMBER IN IT!
You Can’t Wait for Others; If You
Want Relief You Must Fight for
It—Ask Your Friends to Join.
Tell Them the Story of Jackson-
ville-The Story of Cheaper Light.
ORGANIZATION MEANS SUCCESS;
THOUSANDS NEEDED FOR FIGHT
Have you joined the municipal league!
Do you feel like saving some of your gas and electric light bills
or had you just as soon keep on paying big rates f
Municipal ownership can save you, money. Atlanta can make
gas and electric light and sell it to you cheap and still pay ex
penses. There won’t be any big dividends to corporations then,
But YOU must help to do it.
YOU can’t sit down and wait for others to go ahead. If YOU.
want relief YOU must fight for it. .
There are enough of. YOU. If all the men who are tired of big
bills will get together and express themselves, the counoil will pay
attention to th,em.
There’s a mighty big power in a big organization of voters.
Members of the council know who put them there, and they
are mighty likely to obey the voice of the people.’ But they want it
to be a loud voice—and a voice with a definite WANT inspiring it.
Arp YOU doing your shall! If not, why-not!
The lengue is growing. The list of names is away up in the
hundreds now. But it ought to be even longer.
Perhaps you have signed an application blank and sent it in.
The Georgian has a tall stack of signed applications on file. If
your name is among them you have done something.
But that is not all. Have you talked to your friends! Have
you tried to find if your sentiments are shared by your next-door
neighbor!- Are you doing anything further |o push forward the
movement.you have indorsed?
If you were out electioneering for one of your friends would
you be satisfied to vote and say nothing! "Xo, you would get busy
and gain more votes.
Municipal ownership is v one of the best friends you will ever
know. It will be a friend which will'put money in your pocket;
which will help you to cut down that monthly expense. It will let
your city save a big share of its lighting bills.
YOU have a personal interest in this matter. If YOU want to
help yourself it would be wise for you,to gain some strength for
YOL’B side.
The league is getting ready to act. In n few weeks a meeting
will be called by,the leaders in the municipal ownership movement.
It will be held in a big hail and it will be wide open to the public.
There will be hundreds who will ally themselves with the pur
poses of the league at that meetings But the league would like to
open that meeting with more than a thousand members. The more
the better., Thousands will be needed for the battle.
Be a charter member. Sign the application blank. Ask your
friends to sign. Tell them what Jacksonville, Fla., has done. Show
them the difference in cost of lights in Jacksonville and Atlanta.
Show them that the Georgia Railway and Electric Company charges
*1 a thousand for gas that costs the company less than 40 cents.
Show them that the same corporation—no competition, you see—
charges them from 8 to 12 cents per kilowatt for electricity, while
Jacksonville charges a maximum of 7 dents and makes a profit at
that figure.
At the forthcoming meeting a method of gaining the desired ob
ject will be taken up. It will not be necessary to burden the city with
a bonded,debt. An.electric plant can be combined wjjh its water
works plant, according to experts. Or n combination gas and electric
plant, successfully in use by mnn.v corporations, can be built. The
city will have no trouble in borrowing money ou its land and fran
chise, The latter will be its most valuable asset. The details will be
shown satisfactorily.
What other cities have done and are doing Atlanta cau do—
and WILL do. A business which can make big dividends for a cor
poration can pay expenses for a city and the difference will go, to
file consumers. If YOU would like a share in those profits paid'by
the gas nnd electric companies, all you must do is to join the munici
pal ownership league—and WORK UNTIL IT GETS WHAT IT IS
JKTER.
YOU WILL BE A STOCKHOLDER IN YOUR OWN COMl’A-
NV AND WILL DRAW YOUR DIVIDENDS IN REDUCED LIGHT
lill.LS. THE CITY WILL BE THE COMPANY AND THE CITI-
ZKNS THE STOCKHOLDERS. THIS IS ONE OF'YOUR OWN
BUSINESS AFFAIRS. ARE YOU GOING TO WATCIf YOUR
OPPORTUNITY!

The first Importation of strlkehrenk-
s arrived In Atlanta Wednesday

Railway.
There are about seventy-live men In

Philadelphia and another from Chi
cago. Others, It Is said, will arrive
later. It Is thought that about 050
men, In nit, will be put to work at the
shops here to break the strike of the
local machinists. Other strikebreakers
are being sent to the other cities af
fected.
The union machinists met this
morning, as usual, nnd discussed the
situation. The pickets reported the
number of strikers, assuring the
union thnt there weren't a half dozen
real machinists all told In the whole
crowd.
"They brought the men here under
a misrepresentation," said one striker,
"and they arc leaving as fast as they
can. They heve shoemakers, carpen
ters and pthcr trades represented In
what they call these strikebreaking
machinists."
“Fun Has Just Begun.”
Mike Riley, chairman of the press
committee of the strikers, would make
no statement, other than to refer the
representnl Ive of The Georgian to one
of the "strike breakers,” and to re
mark. laughingly, "the fun has just
begun."
The .strikebreaker referred to gave
his name as James T. Healey, his homo
as Boston, and his occupation as
shoemaker.
Strikebreaker Talke.
"They told us,” he said, "that they
were going to fake us to Washington
and put us to work. In fact, they told
practically all the men that. Aa softn

■ "Four of the men jumped out of the
windows of the cars as the train

Washington, Oct. 25.—"That Arling
ton National cemetery soon will con
tain a memorial monument to the Con
federate dead who are burled In Its
confines seems to be certain," said Dr.
Samuel E. Lewie.
Dr. Lewis Is chairman of a commit
tee from the varloua Confederate or
ganisations In this city to raise funds
for the purpose. The same men also
will eelect the plans for the monument.
which Is to be either of bronze or mar
ble. and which will probably coat about
816.000. The committee declares that
the monument, will be built by a sculp
tor who Is an artist and that the me
morial will be a work of art.
So far, little has been done to raise
funds. While no definite date can bo
set for the erection of the memorial It
Is thought that a year will suffice to
plan and finance it.
SOUTHERN BUYS ENGINES
' 70 HELP WE A KEN STRIKE
Eighteen huge brand new Baldwin that the officials are counting on them
— - — ■- “ heavily to tide over the present sltuu-
locomotlves, now being set up In the
Southern railway shop* here, are ex-
ted to be effective factors as strike
breakers In the present walk-out of the
machinists.
These locomotlws are now being
prepared for service by a force of men
from the Baldwin Locomotive Works.
While nothing has been said by the of
ficials relative to these new engines, It
la known that they are counting on
them aa Important means in siding the
road In winning Its fight against the
strikers, it Is said that the Baldwin
Works employs no union men.
New engines require little work to
Yeep them In running shape for some
months. It is said, and with eighteen In
service In this territory. It la known able.
tlon.
But the Southern has apparently a
very grave proposition to deal with, for
the strike Is spreading. Diepafche*
Thursday state that ,00 men walked
out In Knoxville Wednesday because
of the arrival there of strike-breakers.
For the present, at least, the strike Is
confined to the machlnlats, but it la In
timated that there may be walk-oute of
other employees If the Southern does
not yield to the demands of the ma
chinists. Officials of the road are reti
cent about dlscusstgg matters just now.
The local strikers are firm In their
stand, and that they are In It to win
Thursday morning as ever. They
cussed the Importation of strlkebreak
are dispassionately, and were as con
fident of victory as ever.
"We know we are going to win,”
said a member of the strike commit
tee, “because we know they can’t get
enough machinists to do their work.
They can get enonwh men all right, but
getting machinists la another ques.
tlon.”
Professional strikebreakers have
habit of picking up any men out of a
Job and rushing them to the scene of
a strike,”'said one union man Thurs
day. "They think that by bringing
crowd of men Into deserted shops thi
the spirit of the strikers will be broken
nnd they will be bluffed Into returning
to work. Men a.t. often hired under
promise of work In their own line and
then rushed to another city to take the
place of strikers In an entirely unfa
miliar occupation.”
At the office of Master ^Mechanic J.
F. Shehan the officials refused to give
out • any- statement regarding strike'
breakers n* the strike. The Southern
has preserved this attitude since the
beginning of the strike among the
machinist*.
At noon Thursday, It waa stated by
one who Had been out at the shops that
the strike breaker* were on the scene,
but had not gone to work, hanging off
for some unknown reason.

tlon In passing a resolution roeom-

made a managerial matter: that It he
placed In the hands of a commission

divorced from politics.
Enthusiasm' marked tho discussion
which followed the reading of the reso

debate'and the flow o't oratory ilciugc,i
the convention until discussion waa
brought to a close by President Brline
man announcing that the question
would be put. Those wl|Q opposed the
proposition made several amendments,
but they were lost. ■ ‘ • 4
Immediately after the convention was
colled' to order Theo. Luth, chairman
of:the freight 1 and classification com
mittee, offered a report, the substance
of which was'an objection 1 to the ac
tion of the' Central Freight Associa
tion In curtailing the stop-over, privi
lege. This subject Is now receiving
the attention of the commltteo.and ef
forts are being made to get the privi

The report approved. the .Hepburn,

bill of lading. A protest from tho com
mittee Induced Texas roads tb restore
n recent curtailment of common packet
rates. The demand of roads for heav

vented and n demoralizing situation
was avoided. Thla point was vital to
shippers and the prompt action of the
committee prevented the Western clas
