Atlanta, Ga, July lo.-At the
meeting of the State Ladies Aux
iliary TO the Locomotive Engineers
the State guide, Mrs. Green, said:
The part women should take
in the issues stirring labor unions
is 10 stand shoulder to shoulder to
obtain arbitration, and to encour-
age all measures calculated 10 OBJ
viate the necessity Of strikes; one
OF their first interests now should
be to make every effort to bring
about arbitration that will insure
the labor unions and the capt. alists
coming TO an undcrst anding. Then
the rest Of the civilized world will
NO longer look upon us and suggest
that the seeds for revolution are be-
Ing sown, or any other such proph-
ecles at intimate the arrest of the

81 think 1t neccssa airy that women
Of Tie labor unions post themselves
with facts pertaining to the present
status of the labor problems. Wo-
men are great inspiration in such
times as these.

REVOLT LIKELY
AGAINST ADDIIKS
From the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.

from the ibiaucl9hia Evening Bulletin.
Reh oboth, Del. July 2o.-lt has
been said that "the very walls have
ears. " Had they tongues also the
walls of one of the cottages at this
place would reveal an Interesting
story Of the intriyucs and manoeuvres
of certain politicians OF the Addicks
Republican persuasion, having for
their object the filling Of the two va
cant Scholarships from this State
without allowing j, Edward Addicks
the pleasure of being one Of the oc-
cupants.
During this week conference was
he'd in this cottage, at which the
subject of the Senators was preached
and the suggestion made that Secre-
tary Of State Layton would make a
suitable successor to Governor Hum
in the event of the latter's elevation
to the Senate
The suggestion was not favored
by | ayton, however, on the ground
that there are greater cmolumentS
attached to the Office OF Secretary
OF State than that o. Governor.
The tull program, according 10
the story that comes from this par
tlcular cottage, involves the cleo
ton 10 the two Senatorial vacan-
cies OF Governor Hum and Lieu
tenant.Governor Cannon. This
would advance Secretary OF State
Layton to the Governship, or, should
he decline the promotion, Attorney
General Ward.
The possibility OF both the Sec
rotary OF State and Attorney-Ge
eral refusing to accept the profer-
ed Governorship would throw the
succession, in turn to Harry {. Elll-
son, president pro TEN OF the Sem
ate, and ]. V. McCommons. Speaker
Of the House.
In any contingency however it was
understood that if Secretary of State
Layton would rot consent to be Gov
crnor he was to he reapponted to
his present Office lT the new Govern
or whoever the latter might be.
But Hum and Cannon for the Sena-
to:ships is part Of the program about
which there was no dissens ion and If
the signatures Of the tweuty-sevcn
Republican members Of The General
Assembly can be secured TO an agree
mcnt to vote for them or for any
two men outside Of Additks, the pro-
gram viii be carried through.
/ President Mckinney want those
Senatorial vacancies filled, To Gov
crnor Hum lie has made personal
appeal for the bringing about of
this result. Mr.. Mckinley, it is
said, cared nothing tor Addicks,
and it is minated that he is dis
gusted at Addlcks dog in the
Manager policy at his inslstence
upon "Addicks or nobody which
has resulted in depriyins Delaware
for the first time in the history of
the State, Of all representation in
the United States Senate. And so.
instead of 'Addicxs' or NOBODY
the Senatorial slogan in the near
future promises to be Hum and
Cannon.
