union recognition, but that even a
committee from the ranks of the
strikers will not be treated with. The
Postal has prepared a form of con-
tract which every applicant will be
required to sign before given employ
ment.
The Western Union has not adopted
any form of contract but is requiring
each operator to make application for
work as an individual The contract
of the Postal reads as follows:
4 hereby agree, if given employ
ment by the Postal Telegraph Co.,
to render full and faithful service at
all times, refraining from all agitation
and interference with the company's
business, and | further agree that |
will work carefully and well with ev-
cry operator, union or non-union."
The statement of Superintendent j.
Levin of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company that former Atlanta
operators were leaving the city to re-
new their work with the company in
other cities vehemently denied by
the representatives of the dissatisfied
telegraphers.
The telegraphers say further that
they have established an employers
bureau for the striking operators and
that places are being found as fast as
applications are made.
The commercial telegraph compan-
les claim that business is being hard-
led as rapidly as received. The Pos
tai Telegraph Company said that the
strike was over so far as they were
concerned and that they were doing
almost their normal business.
There has been no decrease in our
force" the officials said.

According to representatives of i'm
portant interests very close to the rail-
roads, the lines of this state will make
no fight against the order of the State
Railroad Commission making passen-
ger rates effective Sept, 2, but will
offer a compromise proposition in
stead, asking for the establishment of
a fiat 1-2 cent a mile basis on the
larger railroads, if not upon all the
lines.
This proposition is said to have been
studiously considered by practically
all the executive officers of the differ
ent roads operating in this state. A
meeting behind closed doors has been
in progress for the past three days
in Atlanta.

Gospel to it's teeming millions.
AS Korea is very much in the public
eye at present, due to the more recent
invasion of the Japanese, Mr.. Ger
dimes discourse upon the people, their
habits and customs was all the more
interesting to his large audience.
The afternoon session was wholly
devoted to League business.
Upon adjournment at o'clock the
Leaguers came down to the Gospel
tent and joined heartily in the meet
ing there, conducted by Rev. j. L..
Irwin. The sermon was an able one
and held the close attention of the
congregation to the finish.
At the night service, at o'clock, an
other large and interested audience
filled the big tent. Services today at
the usual hours.

PLANT TO ENLARGE
BUSINESS is GOOD
Other Cities Operate Mills at a
Profit.

The last time an effort was made
to establish a hosiery mill in Ameri-
Gus, and there have been several such
attempts, those who oppose cotton
mills and kindred industries killed it
off promptly with the cry that 'it
wouldn't pay" Columbus has long
operated such mill, and at great
profit to the company. 1t is reported
that the Topsy Hosiery Mill is pre-
pairing to make additions to its plant
that will give employment to 100 more
people The mill is now receiving a
good deal of new machinery that is
ment of the original building.

IN SEVERAL CITIES IN THE STATE

In Americus, as already stated il
the Recorder, not an insurance
policy will be cancelled upon any sa
loon business, but after the prohibi,
tion law goes into effect the compa-
nies cannot write insuranc on saloons
and barroom fixtures, except at theil
own risk and this they seem unwil-
ling to do.
In case of a fire then they would
have to appear in court and reveal
that they insured a company to do an
Illegal business and this would place
them in an embarrassing position, one
| they do not want to occupy
In many Georgia cities the insur-
ance companies are cancelling pol
icies in force, and renewing none.
So far the policies that have been
cancelled and those that have been re-
fused to be renewed, apply only to the
retail dealers, but wholesale dealers
may have to suffer in the same way
and operate their business.
The insurance men feel the loss
that this will cause their business.
The companies will feel the loss, too,
but they are giving up a profitable
business and good income to be on
the safe side of the law
All of the cities where there are
saloons the saloon men are having
trouble in having their insurance pol
icies renewed. This is true of AL
bany, Augusta, Macon, Atlanta and
all of the other wet cities of Georgia.
No figures are available to show the
loss that will be entailed by the in
surance companies and their agents,
yet the loss will be a heavy one, and
in case of a fire will be still heavier
on the saloon keepers who are COM
PEELED to operate from now on with
out protection.
The furniture and fixtures in the
saloons will be practically worthless
after the prohibition law goes into eff
feet and for this reason no more poll
cies are being taken out either on the
fixtures or on the saloons
In a number of cases thesaloon men
will have to conduct their business
from now until the first of the year
at their own risk

LOWELL MILLS

5000 Workers Take Holiday

LOWELL, MASS, August 23.-When
the clatter of the loom ceases in Low

for nearly two weeks. The shutdown
is for the sole purpose of giving the
$4,000 mill workers an opportunity to

The UNION OF TWO
CHURCHES REMOTE
1t Is Not Thought That AMIGA
BILE Basis of Agreement
Can Be Reached.
MUCH DISSATISFACTION.
INDIANA SYNOD WILL ENDEAv-
OR TO BRING PRESBYTERIAN
AND CUMBERLAND PRESENTER
IAN CHURCHES TOGETHER.

When the Indiana synod Of the
Presbyterian church meets in Rich
mond next ear, at the First Presbyte-
rian church, it is evident that the I'M
ion of the Presbyterians and Cumber-
land Presbyterians in the Hoosier
state will still be far from complete.
By action of the general bodies OF
these two denominations it was decid-
ed that there should be a union OF
church interests. but in the Cumber-
land membership there are many VINO
are dissatisfied, and who will fight
against union to the bitter end.
The situation as ii now stands. is
told in the following dispatch sent out
from Petersburg. Ind:
The semi-annual state meeting of
the Indiana synod of the Cumberland
Presbyterian church is in session at
the First Baptist church here. There
is an enrolment of thirteen ministers
and twenty delegates representing the
church in all parts of the state, and
from the reports of the delegates it is
estimated that there are in the state
of Indiana, 1900 loyal Cumberland
Presbyterians who refuse to recognize
the union of the Cumberland Presby-
terians and Presbyterian church. and
the meeting here is more for the pur-
pose of reorganization than anything
else
The Rev. L. NJ. Johnson of Mattoon
ILL.,, addressed the meeting Wednesday
on church development and was fol.
lowed by the Rev. j. G. Goodnight. OF
Lincoln, ILL.,, who explained the differ
ence between the belief that is to be
accepted in joining the union and the
Cumberland Presbyterian faith. He
stated that the Unionists teach strict
Calvanistic principles, while the Cum
berland Presbyterian church teaches
free salvation to all who believe. The
church property question was not dis
cussed. but left to the discretion OF
the courts. The synod elected the
Rev. G. w. May of Chandler Ind. mod
orator and the Rev. J. l.. Stocking OF
