WHERE DO MALONEYS
MEN GET OFF AT NOW7

The city council seems inclined
to let Mayor Pratt deal with Thorn.
as Maloney and the protests from
the members of his union, who
claim that Maloney is not paying
the scale on his city contracts. A
lot of his men quit yesterday.
The matter Of the alleged failure
of Maloney to pay the scale was
called to the attention of the coun-
ell by member of Maloney's union
and referred by the council to
Mayor Pratt as the great champion
Of the oppressed laboring man."
Mayor Pratt then referred the
matter to the corporation counsel,
who reported back that Mr.. Ma
loney's designs on labor, il they
existed, were so deep laid and well
planned that there was no way to
reach him in the copious laboratory
of legal remedies possessed by the
city. This sounds good to Maloney,
and the report went back in this
way to the city council last night.
The action of the council says
to Maloney's men, Look to the
mayor" The mayors action says,
81 am powerless to help you"

The thing we who are blind want
most of all now is a chance to show
the public what We can do. Seeing
is believing" If our seeing friends,
instead of merely thinking that
what we do is wonderful, would in
vestigate our work, compare it
with that done by sighted people,
give us a chance. we then could
prove our ability.
Those who are fortunate enough
to be self supporting do not want
to be looked upon as prodigies, for
they are simply ordinary human
beings who are striving, despite
their handicap, to improve the fac

ISLANDER BILL
IN GEORGIA

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 17.-Geor-
gia will soon have a law upholding
the names and regulations of its
women, the bill introduced by SEN
ator McCurray having passed both
senate and house, with the Ger.
tainty Of the governors signature.
So widespread has been the ap-
prevail Of this measure that the
author has received requests for
copies from South Carolina and
Alabama legislators, who intend in
PRODUCING similar bills.
The measure makes 1t a misde-
meanor to wilfully and falsely utter
or circulate defamatory statements
about women and grew out of a
case in Hart county, in which SIAN
der nearly broke up a marriage be-
tween members of two prominent
families.
Shortly before the date set for
the wedding, the young man in
question was warned that his bride
to be was of questionable charac-
ter.
Upon hearing this the girls
father refused to permit the we'd
ding until he had Investigated the
charges. These were found with
out foundation, and their circula-
tors admitted they had lied. 1nere
being no Georgia law covering the
case none of the interested parties
prosecuted the defamers.
