Chicago, July s.—Hope for a speedy
settlement of the country-wide strike
of railway shopmen was seen tonight
In statements issued by Chairman
Hooper, of the Railway 'Labor Board,
and President Jewell, of the shop
1 crafts, who ordered the strike, in re
ply ot a letter from Chairman Hooper,
which is regarded as conciliatory.
President Jewell declared the strik
ers were willing to "consider any ne
gotiations with anyone in authority
for a settlement of the strike,” adding
that "we are willing to confer with
anybody authorized by the railroads
to bring peace to us, 1 include or ex-;
elude nobody, but if the labor board,
for instance, came to us with a defi
nite proposition, we would not hesi-j
tate to consider it.”
Jewell then made public the shop
mens’ vote on the three issues, show
ing ninety-four and seven-tenths of the
men voted for a strike on wage reduc
tion; ninety-seven and one-tentli on
outside contract labor, and ninety-six
an dtwo-tentlis on the working rules.
In railroad circles it was declared a
way had already been cleared for a
full settlement of the gravest issue,
contract work, by an agreement of
twelve roads to abolish outside con
tracting.
President Jewell said so far he had
received no overtures toward a settle
ment and had made none. He declar
ed his statement was in the nature of
an explanation and that he was not
receding from any original demands.
Chairman Hooper, in a letter to Jew
ell, denied that the latter’s charge that
the Board was unfriendly to employes
or had "outlawed” strikers. “It only
accepted your statement that the
striking men were not employes or
carriers.” The letter said also "it has
not. however, used the rasping word
‘outlaw’ at any time.”

ON BROADIIELD ROAD SOON
Road from Sterling to Dixie
Highway, Toward Jackson
ville, for Which Funds are Al
ready Provided for, Will Re
ceive Attention Shortly.
The regular monthly meeting of the
Glynn county commissioners was held
yesterday morning at 10 o'clock in
stead of Tuesday at that hour on ac
count of the Fourth celebration and a
surprise was sprung when Constance
Miller, for sixteen years a member
and for twelve years chairman of the
Board, announced that for various rea
sons he would ask the Board to accept
his resignation, and while this will be
done Mr. Miller will remain with the
Board until the next regular meeting,
the first Tuesday in August. There
were certain matters which would
have caused what could be termed ir
regularities in the bond issues and for
the purpose of having nothing of this
character present itself, Mr. Miller
w'll still be with the hoard as chair
man until the next meeting.
The resignation wijvcause sincere
regret with all people. Mr.
Miller has been rightfully termed the
“father of the St. Simon highway,”
and he is in a great degree responsi
ble for the excellent roads now here
and those which are soon to be built.
Another interesting annonnoemenl
made by the commissioners yesterday
was the fact that advertising for bids
will soon begin and work will start
within a short time on the Broadfield
roads and also the three miles or more
through the Buffalo Swamp, this to
start at Sterling and connect up with
the Dixie Highway.
Mr. Miller’s resignation from the
Board was caused by business reasons.
Walter Miller, who has been with his
father in the furniture establishment,
is soon to open a “Dollar Limit” store
in the Peachtree Arcade in Atlanta
and will leave shortly for the purpose
of making preliminary arrangements

ger and operator. With him are asso
ciated some of Brunswick’s prominent

Mr. Arnold are intending to give some
real entertainment to radio fans in
this vicinity. . '
The hoy fans can now put up their
little crystal sets and get real music

and amplifiers. The broadcasting set
was installed on the 3rd and tested
