STRIKE IN
SOUTH IS
NOW ENDED
Textile Workers in Georgia
Cotton Mills Viii at Once
Return to Work.

Fall River. Aug. THE big strike OF
Ga. which was looked upon as test
OF the strength OF the United Textile
Workers OF America, has been declared
off by the executive committee of that
body.
The committee met here and did con-
siderable business, the most important
being that based upon the announce
ment that the strike at Augusta. Ca, in
the John c. King mills. had been declared
off on August /.
II was decided after a lengthy discus
sion OF the question that the mills had
secured so much help that the strikers
could not win and they were so instruct
ed by the officials OF the Textile Workers.
This action ends one of the hardest
fought battles known in the textile in
dustry between labor unions and mill
owners In the south.
These operatives went on strike last
April for a 10 per cent. advance I'm wages.
Operatives I'm Georgia and the southern
part OF North Carolina went out on
strike in sympathy.
These sympathetic strikers, at q meet
ing between their committee and the
King mill officials were allowed TO look
over the books OF the company. and
found the claims OF the mill owners cor
rect They then returned TO work. Some
thing like $4,000 in all was sent from
all over the country.
Many members OF the committee say
that while the operatives have lost the
strike, trade unionism In the south has
received strong impetus. and Is steadi-
ly growing.
One member said that applications have
been coming I'm every day asking for
charters for labor unions in the south.
The members are much pleased at the
showing made against what they con-
slider great odds.
All the labor secretaries Of Fall River
and New Bedford were present at the
meeting.
Upon a communication from Newman
ket. N H., in regard TO making up lost
time the secretary was authorized TO re-
ply that the national body had been al
ways opposed to making up lost time
and is so I'm the present instance.
The question OF sending a representa-
tive OF the national organization to New
market TO adjust the trouble there, was
referred 10 the emergency committee.
The next meeting OF the executive com
mittee will be held October Is, in Wash
ington, D. c.. and at that time reports
will be made up 10 be submitted TO the
National Convention In that city on Oc-
tober 81.

Justice D!ckey 50 expressed his sur
prise when the divorce case OF Pitman

IN Brooklyn yesterday.
TOO MUCH FATHER-IN-LAW.
I'VE often hear OF mother-in-law In

don't know about, this father-in-law; l
will hear you on that point" he went on
addressing Lawyer Frank Harney Field,
who appeared for the defendant, Waiter
c. Pitman.
Pitman is a, wealthy Brooklyn man and
organizer OF the American Steel ard
Copper Plate company, at No. l2O Clas-
son avenue Brooklyn. His wife seeks di-
vorce on statutory grounds.
She is the daughter OF Charles III.
Covel, president and owner OF the New

other in Schoes street. Brooklyn
She AYERS that last spring her husband
while on % business trip 10 Chicago was
accompanied by woman who was not

Lawyer Field said he did not deny the
charges as TO tho trip TO Chicago last
spring but he does emphatically deny
the charges made against the character
OF the innocent young Brooklyn woman

wife's father were in the same business at
rtoa Ghnp af for

start an opposition concern

wife gave away the secrets of her hus-
bands business TO her father. which en-
abled him 10 undermine the young man.
"Pitman and his wife lived happily until
last year He had been true TO his wife
until she deserted him. I believe his ia
ther-in law broke up his home. His ac-
quaintance with the Brooklyn woman
was formed after his wife had left him. y
Lawyer Heyn denounced the statement
that Mr. Brown a nephew OF Judge Addi-
son Brown had written letters to Mrs.
