The danger that the strike, if pro-

became serious today when Vice Pres

Georgia Railroads business to other
roads will cause the firemen of those
roads to vote on whether or not they
will accept diverted freight. 1t was
reported here today that about 100
cars Of Georgia Railroad freight had
been diverted over other lines. Mails
and passengers usually carried by the
Georgia went by other roads and in
few instances automobile service was
resorted to. Preparations are under
way by postoffice authorities to estab-
lish an automobile mail service be-
tween Union Point and Athens, Ga.
