trenehnent NsseAafl.


Atlanta, March "A bulletin post
ed upon the main entrance doors to
the Southern Railway shops in South
Atlanta attracted the attention OF all
employees, machinistS,, helpers, black.
smiths, boiler makers. carpenters,
painters and apprentice boys Tuesday
when they knocked of for midday
lunch.
The bulletin advised them that with
the conclusion of tho days work the
shops would shut down indefinitely;
that only q number OF men sufficient to
meet the actual demands would be re-
tanned on the payrolls Of the various
departments.
To the. men who have been earning
the daily wage scale fixed by tne road
and the working men mutually, that
bulletin meant that about score Of
the full force In each department
would be retained, while the bulk OF
the trained men in each line, except
the carmen, would find themselves
idle.
But to the employers It meant that
50 much of the old force as Is neces-
sary 10 keep in condition the rolling
stock OF the road would be continued
on the payroll, the reduction In the
force being made imperative, 1t Is
said, in order to retrench
Not the slightest intimatiun had
been given the men that reduction
In the force was even contemplated,
The great majority of the men let out
have been working at the shops for
years, some Of them In fact, ever since
the shops we're started in Atlanta.

ANSWERED present"
When Democrats Had Chance in
Congress to Vote for Bryan Bank
Deposit Plan They Dodged.

In a recent interview Judge Walter
/. Smith, Member Of Congress, said:
at the last session OF Congress a
currency bill was introduced by Mr..
Jno. S. Williams of Mississippi, leader
Of the Democratic side of the House
and Democratic Senator-elect from Mis-
sissippi.
This bill not only provided for the
cure of all the ills of our currency sys-
TEN, but contained provision for the
much lauded national guarantee of
bank deposits. On the 9th day Of last
March Mr.. Williams arose in the House
and stated that he had been furnished
with advance sheets Of an editorial to
appear in Mr.. Bryan's Commoner, com
menting upon this bill and asked that
these advance sheets might be printed
in the Record, and leave being granted
they were so printed.
In the editorial Slight criticism was
made upon triling details of the bill,
but upon the whole it was declared to
be an ideal measure that ought to re
ceiye the support of every Democrat,
1t was also stated that the Dill had been
prepared after conference of the lead
ing Democrats Of the Senate and House
at which Mr.. Bryan was present.
When the Republican currency
measure was brought up in the House
it was provided by the rule that it
should be in order to move to substitute
this bill of Mr.. Williams. which, it
should not be forgotten, contained Il
provision for the national guarantee Of
bank deposits.
AS the time drew near for the close
Of the debate and for some reason no
Democrat offered the bill, Mr.. Kahn of
California moved to substitute the
Williams bill for the Republican bill
Immediately there was great confusion
on the Democratic side of the chamber
and a hasty consultation as to what
should be done. Finally six Democrats
voted to substitute the Williams bill for
the Republican measure, % Democrats
voted against it and % Democrats yot-
ed present without being paired,
The question was not on the adop-
ton Of the Democratic bill, but was
whether the Democratic bill, containing
the national guarantee Of bank deposits
was preferable to the Republican meas
ure, and on that question only six Dem
ocrats voted Yes % Democrats voted
no and % Democrats without being
paired voted present, In other words,
about three-fourths Of all the Demo
Gratis had no opinion whatever one way
or the other MS to whether their bill
with the blessed guarantee Of bank de
posts in it, was better or worse than
ours

William Jennings Bryan stands to

months of the fiscal year the main
tenance of that vessel cost Sale, 531 02.
Of this amount $232,749SS was for the
pay of her officers and crew. Com
muted rations amounted to $18,8769O
For pilotage and postage the sum of
$1,617.71 was expended. The value of
stores expended in the various depart
ments was as follows: Ordnance,
ST., 645.09; construction and repair,
$7,339.62; steam engineering, $780,
S29.45; equipment, $7,2S7.09; supplies

Gun Practice Is Costly.
The $11,64509 expended for ord
nance was mainly for the powder and
shell used at target practice. A CORE
spondent who is with the fleet esti-
mates that the cost of the ammunition
expended at target practice in Magda-
lena bay alone foots up to a total cost
of $150,000. THAT expenditure" he
says, in giving the views of the Off
GERS, lis not expensive. On the con-
trary, it is the best money spent by
the United States navy. 1t is the pre-
MUM of insurance paid annually for
