STORM TAKES
A HAND
GEORGIA RAILROAD STRIKE Is
FURTHER COMPLICATED BY
RAINS WHICH MAKE ROADS
INPASSaBLE FOR TEAMS.

ATLANTA, May 26.-Another
heavy blow was dealt today to trans
portatlon IN the territory affected by
tue strike of the firemen of the
Georglt railroads, in which territory
the railroad service has been at d
sfandstill for nearly four days
The blow today come in heavy
rains which have made the roads
almost iIapassable and stalled many
of the automobiles aud tong wagon
trains which had been transporting
f8ad and other necessities.
T. Is learned authoriatively tonight
that tie strikers are willing 10 take
ont engines drawing L. 5. mails If
requested to do So. They have re-
served the right. however, to say
whether they will carry passengers.
How less than one hundred strlk-
ing Georgia railroad firemen were
aGle 10 stop practically all train
service ia territory of 10 miles
long and from twenty-five To one
hundred miles wide was the knotty
problem into which [. 5. Com
missioner of Labor Neill plunged
after his arrival here tonight He
held long conference with General
Manager Scott of the Georgia rail-
road.
The officials of the road are in al
most continual conference and 1t was
reported that some directors strongly
favored Governor Smiths proposition
for each side to select three
Georgians as arbitrators. Hand cars,
automobiles and interurban cars
made little impression upon the thirty
thousand pounds of delayed mails in
the Atlanta post Office. Here and
there in the strike district a rural
postmaster shouldered a sack of out
going mail and after hours of hard
work riding and walking managed 10
reach an unaffected railroad station.

Ch!mneys Shaken Down
and a Few, Fires
Started By the Over
turning of Stoves
OF SHORT DURA-
TION - AFFECTED ILLINOIS,
IONA. WISCONSIN. INDIANA.
AND MICHIGAN.

CHICAGO. May 26.-An earth
quake shock. lasting only a few Sec
onds, was felt In the States of
Indiana. Illinois, Wisconsin, Michi-
gan. Iowa and contiguous territory
beginning at S:41 this morning.
Early reports covered the territory
from Springfield, Illinois, through
Davenport. Iowa, and Janesyille,
Wisconsin. north to Muskogee. Mich.
Through territory affected the
only damage reported was of minor
nature. Several small fires were
started by the oyerturning of stoves
and many chimneys were razed.
Aurora, Illinois, suffered par
ticularly in this respect. At Beloit,
Wisconsin. all the college buildings
were rocked violently and many per-
Sons experienced difficulty in remain
ing on their feet.
From the reports that have been
gathered the shock was most severe
ly felt in the Lake regions of
Michigan and Wisconsin. Disturb
anee of the waters of the lakes. how
ever. Nwas slight so far as has been
learned,
Considerable fear was felt for a
time with regard to the effect that
might have been had in the deep
mine workings of the copper region
Advices from Calumet and other min
ing points. however. state that the
men underground were made but
slightly aware of the disturbance and
that no damage to the underground
workings occurred.
Reports on the shake have been
very eonservatively handled TO this
time and the damage has been given
in the minimum. The fact that in
a number of localities heard from
people were thrown from their feet
indicates that the shock was more
severe than has been told.
