 This morning General Manager Scott of the Georgia Railroad an uounced that he had been notited oy F. A. Burgess, assistant grand chle1 of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En- gineers, that engineers cannot be ex- pected to continue on duty unless aly- en adequate protection.
 MT. Burgess action is believed to indicate the grounds upon which the engineers may base justification fer a walkout.

TREATMENTS STRIKE GROWING SERIOUS State and Federal Authorl- , ties Taking a Hand in

TROUBLE SPREADING
Officials of Organization Claim it is Contest For White
 Supremacy.

Atlanta, Ga, May 22.-The strike of white firemen on the Georgia Rail- road, entering upon it's fifth day to- day, with it's already accompanying acts of violence and intimidation gives promise of more serious corse- quences.
 State and Federal authorities are taking extraordinary precautions the latter on the grounds of protect ing the mails-to prevent interfer- ence with the operation of train ser vice on the road. but it is realized that the situation is developing into one of seriousness.
 At small towns along the Georgia Railroad between Atlanta and Au- Eusta much feeling has been mani fested by those who sympathize with the. strikers, it having been publicly proclaimed by the officials of the Or der of Locomotive Bremen and En- ginemen that the strike is based upon question of white supremacy resulting in little display of race feeling at these wayside stations.

 The purpose of the meeting, as sc lected from the joyful remarks of Dr. Wilson and Mir. Bullitt when they met is to give Princeton it's press agency of national scope.
 Publicity" is the title of the dus- cussion and Dr. Wilson and John Maynard Harland of Chicago will take part in the discussion. Dr. Wilson declares that the Princeton men gathered here are the best adver- tisements the university could have.
 The meeting will be called at 9:30 o'clock today and officers and the next place of meeting will be select ed. John w. Barr Jr. of Louisville is mentioned to succeed Mir Shea. An automobile party to the races will be given today.

life according to its instincts which
frequently lead it to the feeding place
of an elephant, but the minute the ele-
plant sees the tiny mouse he quakes
with unfeigned terror, raises his trunk
high in the air and trumpets loudly.
The white people need not be afraid
of such Afro-Americans as seek resi-
dences in so-called Exclusive" neigh
borhoods, they will find their black
neighbors as well behaved, as we'll
dressed and as up-to-date in every
thing as themselves as a rule, and
as much inclined to be let alone, more
so, perhaps, than themselves.
One of the troubles with the whites
seems to be-. that when they see
blacks finding pleasure in the identical
things that give them pleasure, they
appear to be robbed of all their pleas
ure or satisfaction. Why it should
rob one person of the pleasure he
derives from eating an apple to see
another also eating an apple even if
he is black, we cannot conceive.
'Tis said. Limitation is the sin
cerest flattery," therefore our white
brothers and sisters ought to feel fiat
tered when we initiate them. They
usually raise little objection when we
initiate their vices, surely they ought
not to object to our imitation of what
they deem their virtues. .-,. .. e..

migrants they cannot possibly hope to
develop their great natural resources
as they are capable of being devel-
oped. e. ~ ~ ...:,-,.
Few, if any, of the southern legis-
latures took the warning in good faith.
They continued to present seductive
claims for foreign settlement, but
they let their wicked laws remain on
the statute books Prosecutions in
the federal courts failed of their pur-
poses because of local prejudice.
1T is a most significant thing that
the foreigners are once more aban-
doning the South almost entirely, and
they are doing that, of course, because
of reports of officials of Italy, Austria
Hungary, Russia ana other European
countries, who found it necessary to
advise their home governments that
any of their citizens who went into
the South under any conditions were
liable to Imprisonment fro a mere
money debt or owing to broken con-
tract with a planter" y. Vs..
1t is historical fact that, immedi-
ately after the adoption Of the 18th
Amendment, the Southern states es-
tablished state of peonage far worse
than that of slavery; and, as shown
by Jas. G.. Blaine, Carl. Schurz and
other eminent statesmen, thereby rem
dered absolutely necessary the adop-
ton of the 18th Amendment. The
institution, in modified form, still
exists in the South, it's most noted vic
Tins being white foreigners. In. a
word, white foreigners are so com
monty the victims of outrage in this
country that their home governments
are giving the matter very serious at
tention. And, in some cases, as in
that of the tobacco destroyed by the
Night Riders in Kentucky, the home
government is itself the sufferers, be-
ing the owner Of the property. <.

sown. - -@-s-
