ATLANTA Ca, Aug. 1.-Two hundred
women and girls employed at the
Fulton bag and cotton mills in this
city struck this morning because of
employment of negro help by the man
agement. The operatives learned yes
terday that % colored women were to
be put to work in the folding depart
ment to-day. The white females en-
ployed in the mills gathered about the
main entrance this morning and
awaited the arrival of the president,
Mr.. Jacob Elsas The newly-employed
women were already there. When
the president came the white women
explained that they wanted to know
whether it was true that he proposed
to put negroes to work with them. He
said he did and the white women re-
fused to go to work. At noon the 400
men employed in the mills walked out
in obedience to the orders of the Tex
tile Workers union and in sympathy
with the striking female operatives.
This forced the closing down of the
factory. Strikers gathered in angry
groups about the mills and for time
it looked as though there would be
riot. The Fulton Bag & Cotton Co. is
one of the largest concerns of the kind
in the south. About 800 men, women
and children are affected by the strike.

One girl was instantly killed, another

however, of serious nature nor sufli-
cient to interfere with regular train
service. The damage to wagon bridges
and roads will cost the county several
thousand dollars.

the foreign demand would eclipse all

to indicate that the st, Louis pool
