Cold Wave to the Gulf-NO Damage
TO Vegetation.

Atlanta, Ca. Dec. 20.-The cold
wave which for the last week has COW
cred the S nth, today equaled all
records since 1884 for the first twenty
days of the month of December and
lowered in some localities all former
minimum temperature readings. AS
far south as the Louisiana and Gulf
border intense cold prevails, though
no serious damage to vegetation has
been reported. Some snow fell in
Nashville early this morning, the mer-
curry dropping to 2 degrees below
zero. The thermometer registered the
same in Chattanooga. No serious in
terruption has occurred to traffic
further than that boats plying from
Memphis are tied up by heavy floating
river ice.

TO BE NO COMPULSION
Senator Hanna Talks on the New
Arbitration Plan.

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator
Hanna, chairman of the committee of
thirty-siX appointed at the capital
LABOR conference in New York, was at
the White house today and talked
most hopefully of the results of the
conference.
81 consider the conference" said
he, "the greatest step ever taken for
the speedy settlement of disputes aris-
ing between labor and capital The
organization of capital, which has
come to stay, was an evolution natur-
ally preceded by the organization of
labor, which also has come to stay.
The concentration of the interests of
the two sides into the hands of COM
paratively few individuals will make
for the best interests of both. The
public must not get the idea that we
are TO revolutionize everything relat-
ing to the condition of labor and
capital or that the jointcommittee isto
undertake arbitration by complusiou.
In fact, we are opposed to compulsory
arbitration, We believe we can ac-
complish more by getting into closer
touch and contact with labor. The
first step will be to establish a rela-
tionship between the two interests and
this will serve as foundation to
work on. While We do not expect
that there will be no strikes, they will
be minimized as result of the con.
ciliation and arbitration policy"
Mr.. Hanna said heexpected the com
mittee to meet during the winter to
adopt sby-laws and elaborate still
further the scheme of arbitration.
