GEORGIA RAILROAD STRIKE
 DOUBLE CRISIS TODAY.
Train Carrying Mails Only to Start
 Status of Negro Firemen.

Atlanta, Ga, May 27.--A double cri- sis is expected tomorrow morning in the Georgia railroad strike.
 First will be the starting of twelve trains which although carrying mail only will go through community intensely interested as to whether white or black firemen will feed the engines and inclined to draw infer ences from the makeup of the crews. The community en masse has sup ported the racial contention of the strikers and grave fear is felt here tonight among the men who for forty eight hours have been working for some solution of the difficulty
 The second consideration is the fact that the fate of the attempts at arbi- tration may be known by noon tomor- row. It is reported that United States Commissioner of Labor Neill has noti- fled General Manager Scott of the rail- road that he must tomorrow morning make final decision as to whether he will accept arbitration.
 The determination to run the mail trains leaves two problems still open for settlement:
 First. in what manner the negro shall be allowed to work; and sec ond, the question of the interference with interstate commerce and its pos- sible result in federal intervention. The Conferees believe that a great gain has been made in eliminating the postoffice departments dilemma, leaving the fed eral part of the problem for the in- terstate commerce commissioners on- ly.
 Augusta. Ga, May 27.-Mail trains will be started out of Augusta, Atlanta and other terminal points along the Georgia railroad tomorrow morning. The crews are to be made up at the general offices of the road here. They will be partly of negro f1remen and partly of white firemen not members Of the brotherhood. The mail clerks will all be negroes. There will be twelve crews handling ten trains tomorrow. Ten of the ffremen marked up for the trips are negroes.
 Atlanta. Ga. May 27-When 1t be- came definitely known here that negro hremen are to be used on some of the .1nadl trains tomorrow on the Georgia railroad. messages were sent to the most important points along the rail- road asking the authorities to use in- huence to see that no demonstrations are made against the trains.

 Neither Man Injured.
 Neither of the participants was fn- jured. as they were separated by Sen stor Clapp. Porto Rican Commissioner Larrinaga, a number of senate em- ployes, and several newspaper cor respondents.
 The versions of Mir Bailey and MT. Manning are in substantial agreement as to the cause of the trouble, and differ only as to the number of blows struck by each.
 Met After Senate Adjournment.
 A bitter attock upon the author of an article in the New York Times, charging that Senator Bailey had play ed into the hands of Senator Aldrich by his course. and demanding an inn mediate vote on the income tax amend ment and had thus caused a split of the forces supporting such an amend ment, was made by MT. Bailey on the floor of the senate today. MT, Man ming accosted MT. Bailey after the ad- journment of the session to inform him that he was inaccurate in suggesting republican senators as a possible source of inspiration for the article.
 "Liar," Says Mir. Bailey.
 According to both Mr. Manning and Senator Bailey, the former disclaimed authorship of the story, and at the same time stated that the inspiration for it had been Mir. Bailey's demands for immediate vote and his ''hazing' of republican senators who favored the income tax proposition, but who did not support him in his demands for a vote at the present time.
 Mir Bailey asked who did write the article. and at the same time declared, it is said that the man who had writ ten it was liar" According to both

 OF INCOME TAX QUESTION.
Postponed by the Senate Until 10th of
 June.

Washington, May 27-By the de- cisive vote of 50 to 33 the senate de- cided today to postpone until June 10 the further consideration of the in- come tax question in connection with the tariff Consideration of the sugar schedule was continued, but after two amendments to it were voted upon the senate switched off to a discussion of the possibility of getting vote on the Bailey income tax amendment. MT. Bailey presented his argument for a vote in his usual forcible manner, but did not succeed in prevailing upon Senator Aldrich to concede a vote in advance of the tariff schedules. MT. Aldrich declared that he would not agree to a vote on the income tax in advance of the schedules so long as he was in charge of the bill
 The two amendments to the sugar schedule on which votes were taken were those eliminating the Dutch standard test from the tariff schedule and lowering the duty on refined sugar from 1.90 cents per pound to 1.S2 1-2 cents per pound. Both were defeated, the former by vote of 36 to AT and the latter by a vote of 32 to 53.
