From The Baltimore Manufacturers Rec

1t is very doubtful if any other city in
the world of Atlauta's size would have the
courage to undertake such enterprise
as this the scale which this expo
sition has been planned. But for the fact
that Atlanta has never failed TO prove equal
to the occasion when tested in this way,
we might well doubt it's ability to measure
fully up to the responsibility that il has
shouldered. The Manufacturers Record
has faith in Atlanta and faith in ITS sue
cess. 1t will, we believe, give the world
an unanswerable proof of the tremendous
energy and executive ability of the people
of the south when once fully aroused of
the Importance of any undertaking. At
lanta typihes the awakening south, deter
mined to utilize to the fullest the material
blessings with which nature has favored it.

PECULIAR DAMAGE SUIT.
A Printer Sued For Not Fulfilling a
Contract He Made.

/
WABASH, Ind, Oct. ga peculiar
damage suit has been filed in the Wa
bash circuit court, designed to test how
far contract between an employer and
employee is binding. The plaintiff is
Nathan Meyer, proprietor OF hat
works. in this city.
When the works were established in
this city, three years ago, Oscar Busch.
printer, who has charge of the file let
ter on the interior of hats, was brought
from New York City under contract to
do the work. He was paid SIS week
and two years ago his wages were raised
10 $1s. A month ago he quit work and
said he would not return unless engaged
for two years at $50 week This was
acceeded to by Mr.. Meyer and a written
contract was drawn up and signed.
Friday night Busch sent word that he
wanted the balance due him, as he did
not intend working longer, and a check
for $52 was given him. Saturday morn
ing he did not appear and when re-
minded of his contract said it made no
difference as he was going east unless
his wages were raised to sos week.
Mr.. Meyer declined to entertain this
proposition and Busch not only refused
to come to the factory. but restrained
his assistant, insisting that he be en-
gagged at SIS per week for six months.
Payment was stopped on the $50 check
and suit for $4,000 was begun against
Busch.
Meanwhile the factory Is closed, 200
persons out of employment and the
works will not start until the latter
part of next week. when a new printer
can be hired and brought here.
