until last November was president of the
Southern Car and Foundry company, was
In town yesterday, in consultation with
Messrs. Beale and Woods. Captain FL
lott sold out all his interest In the COM
pany when he retired from the presi-
dency of the company. and stated yes
terday that he was not interested directly
or indirectly In the affairs of the company
excepting the friendly interest that a man
naturally feels for a concern which he
has fostered and brought to high plane
of success. He says that he cannot con-
ceive how the company can have been
brought to such a pass when he turned
1t over to the purchasers in flourishing
condition In every respect He further
stated that he was here because Mr.. Beale

that he would have omesnlng to give out

There seems to be considerable discus

the affairs of the company. If the prece-
dent established in the ELAN Drug COM
pany case controls. it will undoubtedly
be the federal bankruptcy court.

FARLEY MAKES REPLY.

Mr.. Farley then spoke at some length
with great earnestness defending the
position already taken by him and ending
by demanding that the miners must
kow at once what the operators proposed
to do He deprecated a rupture when
they had approached so near to one an
other, but he wanted to know definitely
what the operators proposed and was I'M
willing to wait until Monday.
Mr.. Percy spoke, urging In fairness that
the operators be granted the time asked
for.
Chairman Flynn then stated that 1t was
only fair to allow the time requested by
the operators. and that their suggestion
should be adopted by the convention.
with the proviso that the time for the,
resumption of work be deferred to a later
day than July %.
The joint conference adjourned to meet
at q p. m, Monday July %.

BUGGY SMASHED
BY c. OF G. TRAIN
c. H. MORGAN WAS SERIOUSLY
INJURED, BUT HIS SON, WHO
WAS WITH HIM, WAS NOT HURT.
HORSE KILLED.

c. NJ Morgan. a Confederate veteran
aged G. years, and his son, aged 1s
years, were struck by a Central of Geor-
gia train yesterday morning while cross
ing the tracks at Fifty-nfth street in
Woodlawn Mr.. Morgan was seriously in
iured but the boy was not hurt.
The horse they were driving was in
stantly killed and the buggy was de-
molished. 1t seems little short of mar
velous that both Mr.. Morgan and his son
were not killed or fatally injured
Mr.. Morgan was returning from a visit
to some ore mines on the mountains. He
states that the whistle of the engine was
not blowing as he neared the track and
that he failed to hear any bell il one
was being rung. The boy makes the same
statement. When the train struck the
buggy it hurled Mr.. Morgan and the boy
off the track and 1t was to this that
they gave the credit of their escape.
Mr.. Morgan was brought TO the Office
Of DR.. Dabney, physician for the Cen
trail, and his injuries were attended to-
1t is feared that the injuries are internal
and that Mr.. Morgan will not be able to
live owing to his age. He has two bullet
wounds and a bayonet wound received
during the civil war.

leave that matter open we will submit
1t to the miners. One more word: | am
glad that Captain Bush admits that the
operators have lost something for that
proves that they must make at least a
little something when they do work"
The operators a this point adjourned
to another room for discussion and after
being out for a half hour returned
Walker Percy addressed the convention
in behalf of the operators, saying In brief
WALKER PERCY SPEAKS.
1.-The operators have made a proposition
for open arbitration. covering all the
points In controversy. There has been
great difference of opinion among them
as to making It, The operators think that
the demands of the men should have
been less. But they have made the propo-
sition and they made 1t in good faith.
Now conceding that all are IN FAVOR of ar
bitration the question arises how to make
the proposal to arbitrate effective.
IF the selection of the NTH man was
left entirely open, could the four ever
agree? There are two with interests that
are Numerically opposed to the inter-
ests of the other two. Would they ever
be able to agree on any one for the fifth
man. We wished to make the selection
easy, by proposing men who hold life po-
sitions, to select from. These men could
not be influenced by partisanship. These
men would not be looking for our votes
next year. They are men of high charac-
ter and Independent position. We were
doubtless Influenced by the precedent es-
tablished by the selection of Judge Gray.
in the Pennsylvania strike. lie virtually
decided the whole thing. ana the record
of his action made Us suggest man
who held a similar position. We could not
ask a man from another state who had
no interest IN Alabama to come and set
tie our disputes, but we felt that It would
be proper to ask one of the federal judges
of Alabama.

SUGGESTS JUDGE PARpEE.

The first of the men proposed Is Judge
Don A. Pardee of New Orleans. He very
probably might not care to act. so we
proposed the district judges of the Uni
ted States Circuit court in Alabama

He has no interest In this district. He

fer to Judge Thomas G. Jones of Mont
gomery.
But Mr.. Farley land l assume he
speaks for you alb has no confidence in
any of these judges-he Is not satisfied TO-
pick the fifth arbitrator from them We
wish to be fair and we did not come here
to split hairs. We suggested the nemes
of these judges in good faith for the
reason that the selection of the fifth man
could be made quickly and issues
brought to a speedy determination You
have declined our suggestion. Fairly will
not trust any one of them. We will try
again. We will try to amend our propo-
sition so that it may be acceptable to
you. But many of the operators are not
present. We will call full meeting for
10 O'Clock Monday morning and formulate
a proposition which we will report to you
later In the day. We will base our propo-
sition on the proposals made by the
miners so amended as to meet the case
The operators will withdraw with the
understanding that this full meeting will.

Why try to select the man beforehand?

want to dictate from whom the fifth man

Mr.. FARLEY REPLIES.

"There is no one in this meeting who
Is more gratified than I am at the propo-
sition on the part of the operators to
arbitrate. There is only one thing about
1t that I do not like and that Is the
method Of appointing the fifth member
of the commission. Judges of the United
States courts may be all that Captain
Bush says-and more. AS this proposition
looks to me 1t is only a repetition of the
scheme that they endeavored to work on
the miners in the anthracite strike in
Pennsylvania. But we will not accept
the Judges from whom to select an
umpire. We know them and we know
their records toward organized labor in
the past, and ] for one. don't believe that
they have been converted.
