FIREMEN'S STRIKE IS DECLARED OF] (Continued from Page one.) anteed full protection to emloyee and property. "As an instance of lawlessness i is -proper to mention that Ithe air brake hose on sevenq ,f t4e ear have been cut while they wer detain ed at Lithonia. "Application through r agent a Thompson to the sheri of MeDuffi( Oounty for proteetionp-to our employ ees and trains has' brought the fol lowing response: " 'Sheriff says ne is powerless t< give protection to passenger trains Impossiblc k1,get deputies who are not strik. sin-athizers. He ha ade repeated efforts to get up pos es and does all in his power. Can not get municipal authorities to take any action. "Here again is an example of the complete failure of State, county and municipal authorities to protect em ployees and property, as required b3 law, which in the present condition is essential to the resumption of trair service. "If State, county and municipa authorties will exercise their powei for the protection of employees ani property the Georgia railroad wil have no difficulty in completely re storing trains of all kinds. (Signed) "Thomas K. Scott, "General Manager." Possibilities of Intervention. Today brought forth almost sim ultaneously the possibilities of speedy State or Feederal intervention be lieved by many persons of wide ac quaintanee with local conditions t< be heavy with danger of race trouble It is admitted that either Federal oi State authorities can run the trains and preserve armed order, but if th< railroad insists on its rights to negr< firemen it is feared that racial enmit and reprisals on negroes will be stir ried up in regions remote from thf railroad tracks. It is piinted ou thit not until the lynching of a ne gro at IUneointon, Ga., shortly aftei the strike began had there previous lv been a deliberate lynching in Geor gia for nearly two years. Negroe; bave met violent deaths during tha time, but they were killed while re sisting capture. Chairman Knapp, of the Inter State commerce commission, will ar rive here tomorrow and although i is understood he comes only to in vestigate and to offer friandly ser vices, the fact that interruption o: -Inter-State business by the strike ha not hertofore been given close atten tion here. leads to the surmise tha his v'>t may lead to some degree o: Federal intervention. State Could Operate Road. ofState intervention with.>ut thie us' offorce was proposed today by par ties heretofore neutral in the nego Itiatians. Representative Hooper Al exander, of the State legislature, an nounced that he made the followins proposition to the governor, namely that the exclusive privilege of th< Georgia Railroad and Banking comn pany to opt-rate~ trains over its line expired in 1881, thirty-six years afte the completion of the road, and tha now, therefore, the State can operat' trains over tthe lines legally, the sam as the road's lessees. Another pro positon was for receivership by th State. on the grounid of public wel fare and necessity. The status of arbitration for set tlement has remained unchanged. a] day owing to a freight wreck, whiei delayed for nearly twelve hours bha arrival of Fourth Vice Presiden Evans, of the Louisville and Nash ville railroad. His presence was es sential to further arbitration nego tiations. He arrived tonight. Race Issue Develops. T:he race issue developed today i1 what constitutes probably its tw< strongest holds on the Southern peo ple. The first of these was the un animity shown by an entire communm tv in resenting the forcing of negroe into their midst in a capacity t< which they chose to object. Thi feeing was evident within an hou .after nine negro firemen went ou on mail trains this morning. Th other sentime.nt was the instinct o Southern employers to stand loyall; 'by negroes who have rendered then long and faithful service. Such il a large measure, was the characte of the negroes who fired the train today. Because t.hese negroes have bee faithful, and because the railroad in sists upon recognizing their long ser vice, and has given them semiorit; over white men of shorter service,i one of the causes of the strike. Something stronger even than ra ial feeling hinds together the comn munity of whites which is backin; the striking firemen, and this is bloo, ties. The Georgia railroad firemne and other employees have been large ly -erute from the commnumit; GREA Si MILLINEF LADIES' At prices to make you buy.
