the beginning Of the week dozen
counties facing decentralization Of
business and the race issue brought
continually into unwholesome promi-
hence were the factors which spurred
the negotiations through hours Of
discussion.
Gov. Smith and General Manager
Scott of the Georgia railroad had
long conference this afternoon at
which was discussed the Feasibility OF
submitting to a board made UP Of
men conversant with local conditions
along the railroad. United States
Commissioner Of Labor Nell had his
first conference with Gov. Smith to-
day
Various towns In the strike district
took inventory to-day Of their visible
supply Of food. Madison reported at

Washington reported shortage in

means of transportation automobiles

NO PLAN TO START TRAINS
No plan for starting train service was
agreed upon al any Of the conferences
held tonight. The putting OF guards on
trains was suggested a last resort
An agreement to arbitrate appeared to
be the only other means Of starting
the trains and there was some doubt
whether the mere fact of such an agree
ment would relieve the danger to such

work pending a nnal settlement.
Reports late tonight from the cites
and towns affected by the strike said
that perfect order prevailed.
