prior TO the arrival of the train on its
way from Augusta.
I'VE know absolutely nothing" said
r. roFf
Augusta. When 1t win arrive is merely
matter OF conjecture. have received
no instructions to run a train out of At
lanta today and probably viii not be ad-
vise6 until the arrival Of No. /. The
whole matter is entirely problematical
here and nothing will be done until orders
have been received from headquarters
We are waiting and are in a position 10
send out a train IL instructions to that
effect are received. Further than that
there's no new development locally"
The old depot Thursday morning and
during the early afternoon, was more
quiet than it has been since the employees
Of the Georgia railroad walked out. The
yards are deserted. The last train to
reach here on last Sunday is still stand
ing on a siding across Central avenue.
Since Saturday when No. Is left Atlanta
the strike breaking crews have been idle.
The men are still here subject to the
call of the road officials.

been delayed and is now marked VI
