MASSMEETING TO CONSIDER OPENING UP OF EXPORT TRADE Think Risk of Shipment Not So Great As Supposed—General Suspension of Work on Piers—Five Thousand Longshore men Idle—Steerage Passengers Fall Off 300,000 New York.—At a mooting tomorrow of tho New York chamber of com mere* « Mpc'laJ committee appointed to consider for opening up ex port trade will make its report. The committee has held conference* wltn merchants and hankers by many ot whom it hag been contended that the risk of shipment to European ports is not so great as has been supposed. It. was generally believed by the com mittee members and others that the shipping situation would be relieved in a fw day 8. Idle Pier*. The piers of the Harnburg-Amer lean and the North German Lloyd lines in Hoboken, N. J., where seve ral liners of each company are tied up, there is a general suspension of work. It is estimated that 5,000 long shoremen are out of employment and 200 teamsters and about 1,000 freight OPPONENTS RAPPED BY HARDWICK BEFORE AN AUDIENCE OF 3,000 Fine Impression Made By Senatorial Candidate in Atlanta- Armory Speech—Crowd Enthusiastic For Hoke Smith. Representative Stands By His Record Atlanta.—Congressman Thomas W. Hardwick’s address at the Auditorium Armory Monday night served to bring out the largest gathering of the year to hear a political speech in Atlanta. There were from 2,500 to 3.000 peo-, pie on hand when the orator of the evening was introduced by James L. Key of Atlanta. The speaker touched hardly at all up<»n tiie parcel poet matter, in which bgjlind Governor Slaton have differed sb widely, nor did he devote any time tri the tax equalization act, when he has been fighting. Praises Hoke Smith. His time was divided between his own record In congress and Governor Slaton's record in the legislature and in the executive office. It was evident that the orowd in the auditorium was overwhelmingly for Senator Hoke Smith and corre-| spending!y hostile to Thomas E. Wat son. Time and again Mr. Hardwick’s laudatory references to the senator were applauded to the echo, while his denunciation* of Mr. Watson were equally as effective as applause pro ducers. Mr. Hardwick took the position that handlers have been discharged by th* large transfer companies. Business In the flipping dlstjri-ct of this city Is also at a standstill. 12,000 Parsons. The poor commissioner of Hoboken estimated today that of the 5,000 men employed on the piers while they are In full operation 3,000 live In that city. This means he said that about 12,000 persons would have to be provided for by the city unless the shipping situ ation was speedily relieved. Some relief from this situation may result, however, from the absence of the usual influx of Immigrants. The falling off in steerage passages from abroad for the year up to last week, as compared with the same period of last year was 300,069, which accord ing to steamship agents and contrac tors means a corresponding decrease In the supply for the labor market. It would be a' mistake to send Inex perienced men to congress at this time, and replied to the criticisms of his absence by showing three wires from Oscar Underwood, stating that his presence in Washington 1» hot needed at this time. “When I am needed, I will go to Washingtonsaid Mr. Hardwick. Denounces All Opponent*. The congressman was unsparing in his criticism of Governor Slaton, and particularly because the governor would not accept his Invitation to a Joint debate in Atlanta. "You wouldn’t hire an Inexperi enced man to run your business or your farm," he declared. "You would weigh the applicants and choose one with experience, and the same Is true In sending a man to the United States senate. My experienc has taught me the ropes In W’ashlngton and if you send me there your Interests will be well protected." Calls Slaton Coward. He prefaced his remarks with the declaration that since Governor Sla ton would not meet him In his home town. It was Impossible to make charges to his face. He said the gov ernor had been groomed to run against Hoke Smith, but had "run away.” ‘ He is a Doinlnecker rooster, not of the game variety,” declared Mr. Hard wick. "and the ‘spurs’ on his legs are nothing but feathers.” Mr. Hardwick referred to the Grant fortune, which he said was behind the Slaton candidacy and said but for that the governor ‘‘would not be heard from.” He called Governor Slaton "the artful dodger” of Georgia politics and a tlght-rope walker w r ho could span Niagara Falls without a pole. Mr. Hardwick started In bad voice but finished much better. He ex plained that he had made 179 speech es and that hla throat wae very sore. —Atlanta Georgian. $6 00 Palm Beach Bntt»; $2 95 Sea sucker Suits; $3.75 Linen Suits, at F. G. Merttna.
