The Government Demanded An
Immediate Settlement.
Arbitration Committee, Proceeding Un
der the Erdman Act, to Settle
All Diiferences.
Atlanta, Ga, -—— The striie of the
unfon tiremen, which for the past
week has caused a complete tie-up
ou the Georgin Railroad, Is at an end,
the tiremen have gone back Lo word
aud full tain service has been
resumed,
These results, which were haiied
with unalloyed delight from all along
the main line of the Georgia and all
its branches, came aboul as the
result of an agreement reached bet
ween Viece President Ball, ot the
gtriking firemen, and General Mau
ager T, K. Scout, of the Georgia rail
road,
The agreement was effected through
the intervention of Martin A. hnapy,
chairman of the interstate commerce
commission, and Charles P. Neill,
United States commissioner of labor.
The federal officers succeeded in
bringing the warring elements togeth
er. and where others have failed in
efforts to restore peace, have brought
about a tentative settlement, whica
it is declared is satisfactory to all
parties, pending final arbitration by
a board to be named under the Kra
man act,
The following notice to the pubne
was issued by Commissioners Knapp
and Neill immediately after the agree
ment was reached:
“To the Public: An amicpble
adjustment of the differences between
the Georgia railroad ana Its empiloy
ees, who have been on strike, has
been reached on a basis entirely
satisfactory to both sides.
“The strike has been called off and
complete train service is to be resum
ed immediately.
“MARTIN A, KNAPP,
“CHARLES P. NEILL.”
It is understood that under tne
agreement reached, the Georgia rail
road, so far as its relations with 1s
firemen are concerned, goes back
to April 10, the day when an order
was issued displacing ten white fire
men in the Atlanta yards, whicn,
it is said, was the original cause of
the trouble.
These ten men go back as reg
ulars and the negroes who supplantea
them are put out. Previous to April
10 there were no negro vard firemen.
However, the regular negro fire
men on the road are not displacea,
and the first passenger train that
went out of Atlanta under the agree
ment carried John Curry, a negro
firemen. Matters are tog stay as they
were prior to April 10 until a finding
is reached by the arbitration board.
to be named under the Krdman act.
For this board each side can name
either one, two or three men, It has
been customary for each side to name
one man, The representatives of
the parties at issue to choose an um
pire, and if they are unable to agree
one js named by the interstate com
merce commission, after which the
board takes testimony and makes up
its findings.
Chairman Knapp, it is declared,
told Vice President Ball, of the nre
men’s brotherhood, that if something
was not done the matter would be
thrown into the federal courts.
This would have been done by un
injunction to prevent interference
with the trains of the road, and had
these injunctions not been obey
ed, the only means of enforcing
them would have been to call on fed
eral troops. In view of the danger
of havineg federal troops brought into
the state, it is said that Governor
Smith brought pressure to bear on
Vice President Ball. As the governor
had refused to order state troops to
protect the railroad, General Man
ager Scott, of the Georgia, was ap
pealing for federal protection, and had
a settlement not been reached, a
very ugly situation would have been
likely to ensue in a few hours,
The terms of the settlement were
not officially given out, but it was
learned that they are substantially
as follows:
The men to return to work under
conditions existing at the time the
strike began, until final adjustment
Jjs made.
All negro firemen at the terminal
station will be dispensed with,
All discharged brotherhood firemen
will be reinstated.
It is conceeded that the firemen
have won two of the main paints at
issue by getting the negro fremen
out at the terminals and in having
the discharged men reinstated.
STATE’S ACTION CONDEMNED.

land Pregbyterian Church.

G., F. & A. RAILROAD SOLD.
J. P. Williams Buys Interest of Road's
Minority Stockholders.
Bainbridge, Ga.—The meeting of
the Georgia, Florida and Alabama
Railway directors resulted in Mr. J.
P. Williams, the majority stockholder,
buying out the interests of the minor
ity stock and bondholders, thus mak
ing him practically sole owner of the
road. He also purchased practically
all of the bonds of the road outstand
ing outside of his own holdings.
It appears that the management,
from some cause, was not satisfactory
to Mr. Williams ,but tlat the direc
tors and the majority of the minority
interests supported the general man
agr, he seeming to be an efficient
official and very popular with the
general public. The directors, to a
man, upheld Well, and stood at the
proposition that no changes should
be made., A compromise was finally
effected, as indicated above, and re
sulted in Mr. Odell leaving and as a
further result, Mr. Joe Hatch, vice
president, also resigned. It is under
stood that J. E. Tussey, whom Mr.
Odell brought to the road and placed
in eharge of the track department,
has been named by Mr. Williams to as
sume the general managership of the
road.
The physical condition of the road
is understood to be good at this time,
and train service very satisfactory.

Flying through space in advance
of a thunder storm, the balloon Mas
sachusetts, with William J. Van Sleet
as pilot, landed in a field in Munson,
Mass. The balloon was caught in
a* whirl and seemed to spin around,
while the car swung from side to side
at an angle of forty-five degrees, As
the balloon was released from this
eddy it was caught by swift wind cur
renis and swept across the Connect
icut river. One of the passengers,
watch in hand, figured that the bal

Your Cotton Crop Can Be Increased
It costs no more to cultivate an acre that produces
two bales of cotton than an acre which produces only
one-quarter of a bale. Why not see what you can do
with
° e o C lo
Virginia-Carolina
Fertili
Other men have been able to double and more than double
their yield per acre with a liberal application of Virginia-Carolina
Fertilizers.
Messrs. Lucas & Jackson of Kelsey County, Tenn., used Vir
ginia-Carolina Fertilizer on about 55 acres planted with cotton, and
say: ‘“We have the finest crop of cotton we ever saw, and all the
people around here think the same. We actually counted 447 bolls
on one stalk. Another stalk had by actual count 409 bolls, forms,
squares and blossoms. On abeut 8 acres we expect to make about
2qbales to the acre, and an estimate of adjoining farms not so fer
tilized and under other cultural methods, will yield only 1 bale to
five acres.”’
An interesting picture of the cotton I.Plants referred to will be
found in the new 1909 Virginia-Carolina Farmers’ Year Book, copy
of which may be had from your fertilizer dealer, or will be sent
free, if you write our nearest sales office. -
