by President.

Washington, May 25.-The De-
partment of Justice has given Attor.
ney General Wickersham free hand
to deal with the Georgia Railroad
fremen's railroad strike which is in
terfering with the mails. Several
communities through which the road
passes have given their ultimatum
that the trains over the road will not
be permitted to carry negros or
strike-breaking firemen. The result
is that no trains are running and the
mail Is being congested at distribut.
ing points. The immediate cause of
the strike was the discharge of ten
white firemen and filling their places
with negroes. Commissioner of La
Dor Neill Is due to arrive at Atlanta
tonight to make an effort to settle the
trouble. 1t Is not at all unlikely that
deputy marshals may be called into
service to accompany the trains on
which the mail is being transported
and 1t may become necessary to have
recourse to the use Of United States
troops to open up the lines.

nouncement is made in Spokane that
the Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget
Sound Railway Company, which will
soon run it's trains across Washing
ton, has completed plans to operate

the stations will also demonstrate for
the benefit of farmers in the vicinity
the value of crop rotation and teach
them the uses of the latest approved
apparatus for conserving soil moisture,
also how to prepare crops for the
market.
