HOKE SMITH FOR STRIKERS.
Denounces College Students Who Ex-
ercised the Right to Work.

Atlanta, Ga, June 29.--The action of
the students of the State School of
Technology in taking the places OF the
striking railroad machinists has raised
II howl from the workingmen.
Il do not consider that any State in
stitution should tolerate within its walls
MS students, supported by the money of
the State, young men to take the places
of other men who have quit work be-
cause they believe they have Il grievance
and want to arbitrate it, but are not al
lowed to do So" said Hoke Smith, presi-
dent fthe Atlanta Board of Education,
in Il speech to the striking Southern Rail
way machinists gathered in the Fedora
ton of Trades Hall.
The words were uttered with great en-
phass and were received with frantic
applause. In his speech Mr. Smith did
not touch upon the merits of the strike.
His whole theme was arbitration.
Arbitration, he said, was the hope of
the future and it was principle that, ris
ing above individual labor troubles, in
volyed the welfare of the nation and
deserved the support of every class.
