HAT MAKERS STRIKE
WILL RAISE PRICES

NEW YORK, Jan. 1S.-The open shop
and fight to the finish was the action
decided upon by the Hat Manufacturers
association at a meeting held here yes
terday to discuss the situation growing
out of the strike of hatters which began
Friday.
An effect of the strike, according to
the manufacturers, will be rise in the
price of hats, as the trouble occurred
in the busy season.
Twelve members, comprising the board
of directors of the Hat Manufacturers
association, attended the meeting. Presi-
dent Samuel Mundheim, who was in the
chair, made the announcement after the
meeting that the manufacturers had de-
clared for the open shop and were pre-
pared to fight to a finish. He said the
number of strikers was between 1900
and 10000, but there were many nom
union hatters out of employment, and
that eventually the places of the strik-
ers will be filled
1.-THE manufacturers feel that they have
not been treated fairly he said. 1.-The
strikers should have given us notice, ac-
cording to their agreement and the &C
ton should have have been taken by a
vote of the union"
Mr.. Mundheim, in discussing the dis
continuance of the union label by the
manufacturers, which precipitated the
strike said:
THE laoel is of no advantage to the
manufacturers and indeed, is not wanted.
Very few people who buy hats notice
whether the label is in 1t or not"
The manufacturers president ridiculed
the report that the union had 100000 with
which to make the fight. He said, how
ever, that the hatters' union was one
o. the strongest labor organizations in
the country. ts.. ....s 9...-

DR.. LANDRUM WILL
GO TO LOUISVILLE

The deacons of the First Baptist church
will meet next Wednesday night and set
about TO secure a successor to DIR. w. w.
Landrum, who rendered his resignation
fro mthat pastorate Sunday morning
DR.. Landrum will preach his goodbye
sermon in Atlanta on the first Sunday in
ebruary. He will take up his new work
at the Broadway Baptist church, Louis
Vile, KY, on the second Sunday of that
month. Some time this week he will leave
for a short vacation in Florida.
For the past two weeks DR.. Landrum's
call to the Louisville church has been
known and his acceptance of that call
generally conceded. Vigorous efforts were,
nevertheless, made by the Atlanta con-
gregation to retain him. Immediately af-
ter Sunday school exercises Sunday morn
ing he rendered his official resignation. 1t
was accepted with deep regret.
In going to Louisville Dr. Landrum will
be more intimately connected with the
Southern Baptist Theological seminary,
the greatest institution of it's kind in the
world. He is a graduate of the seminary
and is at present on it's board of trustees.
The Broadway Baptist church is the fore
most Baptist church of the south.
DR.. Landrum has been serving the First
Baptist church OF Atlanta for nearly
thirteen years. He succeeded DR.. ]. b.
Hawthorne. The handsome new church
at 'Peachtree and Cain streets was built
during the latter years of his pastorate
and IS perhaps the most impressive visible
sign of his work here. The real record of
his service, however lies in the inspira-
ton he has been to his own people and
the hundreds of friendships he has won
among the people of Atlanta as a whole.
No minister of the city was ever more
widely beloved.

FIGHTING PROHI LAW
IN ALABAMA COURTS

MONTGOMERY, Ala. Jan. 16.-That
the prohibition battle is now on in earn
est, and hardly begun, is evidenced by the
fact that fights on the question are still
waging in Montgomery, Selma and Mobile.
In Mobile the fight has not yet assumed
mandamus proportions, directed to have
whisky licenses issued. In Selma the case
has been pushed UP to the doors of the
supreme court, through refusal of the
probate Judge to issue license, and he
cause of the failure of the judge of che
circuit TO issue mandamus.
In Alabama's capital city, the Cook
Brewing company's case has hardly been
disposed Of before other liquor cases en-
gagged the attention to all sides.
Judge A. d. Sayre, of the Montgomery
city court now has two liquor
cases before him-both of the cases re-
questing mandamus proceedings. The first
case is that of w. ]. Johnson, retail
liquor dealer. against Judge of Probate
CASTOR requesting mandamus to show
cause why licenses was not issued, and
the second case is one of the CAPITAL
City Brewing company, a wholesale con-
Germ, against the Louisville and Nashville
railroad, requesting the latter to show
cause why il, the railroad, will not per-
NIT the shipping of white top and near"
officially he company desires to ship 20 FIT.
Deposit. on the L. and N. railroad, city
in prohibition territory.
Both matters are under the advisement
of Judge Sayre, while decisions in both
cases are being expected at an early mo-
ment-probably today. The anti forces
still maintain their position that the pro-
hibition laws are illegal; they claim, in
cidentally, that the opinion of Judge
Thomas G. Jones, OF the United States
court for the middle district of Alabama,
when carefully read. will admit of this
belief They point with pride to the fact
that an undue lengthy process of law
will cause the matter to revert to the
federal court, as promised by Judge
Jones. Messrs Troy, Watts, Letcher and
Lee Well are busy fighting the anti bait
tie. and have been studying the constitu-
tionality of the act ever since the mat
ter was preached. 1t is quite probable
that the constitutionality will be tested
in supreme court in the course of a
month.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Six Washing

and a local newsboy today received sub
penas to appear next week before fed

presumably in connection with state
ments appearing in their publications,
bearing on the Panama canal purchase.
So far as il has been possible to ascer-
tain. the following were the only ones

With the exception of Mr.. Crist. who IS
commanded to go to New York and
present himself Monday morning, before
the grand jury of the circuit court, for
the southern district, the parties are d.
rected to appear before the federal
grand jury of the District of Columbia

All of the parties, when interviewed,
declared that they were wholly ignorant

Roosevelt Behind Suit?
In his special message to congress Of
December Is, regarding the charges Of
corruption by, or on behalf of the gov
eminent in the matter of the canal pur-
chase the president announced that the
attorney general had under consideration
the form in which proceedings for libel
against Mr.. Pulitzer should be brought
Never before has such action as the
United States government suing for Grim
inal libel been taken. The president, in
his message, was most emphatic in say
! ing that il should not be left to a private
citizen to enter the suit and he was par
ticular to state that he did not believe
I'VE should concern ourselves with the
particular individual who wrote the lying
and libellous editorials, articles from COR
respondents. or articles in the news coll
umns The real offender is Mr.. JosepE

1t therefore is inferred that the cor
respondents were summoned as witnesses
and not with the ultimate idea OF making
them co-defendants.
