COMMISSIONER OF LABOR
NELL TO TAKE HAND

Washington. d. c., May 24.-As the
result of appeals to the federal board
OF mediation to use its efforts to set
tie the strike of the firemen on the
Georgia railroad, Commissioner of La
Dor Neill, a member of the board.
viii leave for Atlanta. This decision
followed conference here today.
The conference was between Dr.
Meill and Chairman Knapp, of the in
terstate commerce commission, the
other member of the board Of media
tion under the Erdman act.
BY both sides to the controversy the
board was appealed to, with the view
of adjusting, ii possible. the Difficult
ties which have grown out OF the
employment of negro firemep by the
railroad
General Manager Scott of the Geor-
ga railroad, telegraphed Chairman
Knapp that the officers of the road
would be glad to have the board of
mediation use its efforts to settle the
trouble Telegrams were also received
by the board from persons represent
luS tHe StiIhlhS HfeInen indicating
their willingness to have the board
take up the matter with the view of
reaching an amicable conclusion. 1t
was decided that Dr. Nell should con-
fer at Atlanta with representatives OF
both sides. 1t is quite likely DR..
Neill may go from Atlanta to Au-
gusta
1t has not teen determined definitely
that the board of mediation will un-
dertake formally an adjustment of the
controversy, as the members are not
satisfied that it comes within the
powers of the Erdman law. That act
provides that the board may enter up
on a settlement of controversies in
volving wages, hours of labor, regu
lations and conditions of labor.
The chairman may join Nell by
Wednesday. Postal officials take some-
what a more hopeful view as the re-
suit of advices from Augusta. saying
that the movement of the mails on
branch lines between Athens and I'm
ion Point had been resumed. Two
mail cars went through yesterday be-
tween Augusta and Atlanta, attached
to freight trains.

A Confession in Cotton

When the Tariff Bill was pend
ing the cotton manufacturers of
New England demanded and Sc
cured revision upward instead of
revision downward for the sched-
ule affecting them. They declar-
ed that the cotton industry could
not possibly stand a reduction of
the import duties.
A few days ago a Boston news
paper published a big display ad-
vertiSement for the sale Of new
stock in a cotton mill located in
Boston. To show how profitable
cotton stock investments had beer
In the past, a list of eighteen
mills was given together with
their capitalization, surplus and
dividends for 1907.
An analysis of the table shows
that the dividend averaged q per
cent on capital stock, that accum-
ulated surplus was almost as
much as the capital and that the
market value of the stock of the
eighteen companies was almost
two and One-half times the par
value.
Therefore, Congress increased
the ''prOtection' on an industry
in which the value of stocks =
market quotations and accumula-
ted surplus being taken into &C.
count. over the par value, and
which, in addition to this increas
IN value, are paying 2lper cent
dividends.
Of course, New England could
not maintain this cotton infamy.

other infamies, without aid from

appointed to watch over the younger
and see that they all secure their food.
