.6O.HOUR WEEK LAW
:: IS NOW In EFFECT
In the Factories and Mills of
State

Atlanta, Ga, January 2.-The new
6O-hour per week labor law enacted
by the Georgia legislature, went into
formal effect yesterday, the first of
the year, in every cotton mill and
similar factory in Georgia.
Most of the big mills had been run
ming on sixty hour basis for several
months past Some made the change
yesterday morning. In practically all
there has been corresponding reduce
ton in pay as there has been in hours.
The operatives receive just as much
as ever for what they do, but get paid
forS60 hours now, instead of for 66 as
heretofore.
1t was this reduction that led to the
strike of about 200 weavefs, loom fill
lers and other operatives at the Expo
sition cotton mills yesterday morning.
The strike has been marked with con-
servatism on both sides, and it is hop
ed it will be adjusted within a day or
two. The mill has not stopped run
ming, and will not shut down. Presi-
dent Johnson has said that he wants
to do everything reasonable, but that
the mills of Georgia simply cannot af-
ford under existing circumstances to
pay as much for so hours of work as
they have been paying for 66.

LOCAL SCHOOLS
THRONGED With
MANY STUDENTS
MANY new STUDENTS REPORT
High School Alone Claims 5
New Students

With a greatly increased attend
ance from that which was enrolled for
the fall term, the problem of dispos-
ing of the overflow of students at the
local public schools presented itself
anew yesterday to Superintendent Mil
ler and the teachers of the grammar
grades and High School.
1t will be recalled that the attend
ance last fall broke all records here
by large percentage, and the open
ing of the spring term has shown that
new pupils keep thronging the loca!
schools and seeking for admission.
The classes were already crowded to
their utmost in many grades, SO that
the many new pupils, which were no
fewer in number than thirty, brought
up anew the question of placing them
comfortably in the already crowded
rooms.
In the High School alone the in
crease in attendance amounted to
eight pupils, which clearly demon
strates the wide popularity which the
excellent work done in that branch
of the local public schools has achiev
ed for the school system here Many
of these students were from the coun-
try, showing that the High School is
destined to be a still broader factor In
the education of the children from the
country districts. The
fact that large per cent. of the new
pupils came from the country is an
indication that all of the local schools
are to have increased attendance from
out-of-town sections in the future.
The only change noted in the facul-
ties for the term which has just open
ed is in the High School, where Mr..
J. L. Sinclair will retire at the close
of the week to enter the United States
Coast Artillery corps. Mr. Sinclair
will leave for Fortress Monroe on
Saturday. His successor, Mr.. Crook.
has already been appointed and will
take up the work assigned to him in
the department of history when the
coming weel: opens.
Yesterday was short school day,
as the spirit of New Years day had
not been sufficiently dissipated to en-
able the teachers to get down to work
with their pupils. In fact, yesterday
was treated as holiday in the local
schools, and the boys and girls en-
joyed getting out after few hours at
their books, as the weather was raw
and damp and penetrating.
Today will really mark the open
ing of the new school term as the gen.
eral routine work will be resumed by
teachers and students today, to con-
tinue throughout the spring term. All
thet eachers haver eported for duty
and have taken up the work of COM
pleting the various courses of study
that comprise the work of the spring
term.

CAMPED ON The TRAIL
OF HIS MAYNARD wife
Texas Man Finally Ran Her
Down

Winnipeg, Jan. 2.-The story OF
how ]. B. Snead, millionaire banker
of Amarillo, Tex, after tracking his
wife thousand miles, spending $23,

obstacles in international diplomacy
was revealed today when announce
ment was made that his wife and AL
bert G. Royce, of Seattle, son of a

be deported from Canada this after
noon as undesirable persons.
According to Boyce, the charge of
grand larceny is one trumped up to
extradite him, and he claims it never
can be proved.
The Texas authorities. it is said,
contend that Boyce persuaded the
woman to give him her jewelry valued
at $4,000. The whereabouts of the
gems is the greatest mystery in the
case. The woman had the iewelrv

charge of abduction and grand lar

was brought to bear on the Texas au-
thorities to bring about his return Is

Counsel for the defense, acting up
on allegations made by the authori-

clared her sane
Final action in the case will
be opened in Minneapolis Wednesday

GOVERNOR TELLS NATION
