HEAVY RAINS
HELP STRIKERS
The Peculiar Race
Situation in
Georgia
THE ENGINEERS ARE 1HND
Willing to Take Out Mail
Trains but Fear Stone
Throwers.

Atlanta, Ga. May 26.-New facts
bearing on the race issue involved In
the strike of firemen on the Georgia
Railroad came to light today. The en-
gineers tied up the road by refusing to
take out trains, claiming they feared
danger from stone throwing. Inves-
tigation proves reported instances of
attacks of this kind pure fabrications.
Instead Of stone throwing, personal
friends of the engineers at different
station pleaded with them not to-
force the race issue by continuing to
run trains on which white firemen
had been replaced by negroes. The
engineers were given to understand
that 1t might be dangerous to con-
tinue such runs. 1t IS learned au-
thoritatively that the strikers are will
ing to take out trains drawing the
mails. Another heavy blow was
dealt transportation today by the heavy
rains which put automobiles and wag-
on trains out of commission.

their haste to escapa. In the large
manufacturing plants there were
panics when the machinery ratified
