MAILS TIED UP.
United States Deputies and Troops it
Necessary May Be Called.

Washington. May 25.--Each day that
the tie up on the Georgia Railroad con-
tinues because of the striking firemen
adds greater concern to officials of the
postof1ice department. The mails are
becoming congested at Atlanta. Angus
ia and other places.
Appeals are coming asking that
every effort be exhausted in an en-
deavor to provide the citizens with
their mail. So anxious are they to Sc
cure some kind Of service that auto
mobiles and other means are being en-
ployed for that purpose.
Up to the time the cabinet met today
no word had been reached by Attorney
General Wickersham from District At
torrey Erwin in Atlanta, regarding the
Georgia Railroad strike. The depart
ment of justice has given this official
free hand to deal with the situation
1t will be the duty of the district at
torney to apply Immediately to the
federal court in Atlanta for an order
restraining the strikers from interfer-
ing with United States mail through
the stoppage of traffic over the Georgia
Railroad.
Should the strikers or any of theil
sympathizers resist this order. the
United States court will Immediately
be requested to appropriate sufficient
number of deputy marshals to accom-
pany tho trains and see that the law
is enforced. If deputy marshals can
not carry out the federal courts or
ders, recourse will be had to the ser
vice OF the United States troops to
open up the lines.
