IN the strike, the following composing
the fclce that walked out Misses
Daisy Baird, Ruby Curry, Nora Co

wards. The two latter left the city
last night for their former homes.
Grievance Against Chief Operator.
No formal complaint was entered
with Manager Wade by the striking
girls during the day, it only being
reported to him that they had a griev-
ance against the chief operator, Miss
Lula Edwards, who has occupied that
position for the past several months,
Just what the complaint against the
chief operator is, is not known. 1t

Edwards; that she was not courteous
and pleasant tc them and in various
ways did not make their work pleas
ant.
1t was about II o'clock when the
girls walked out of the exchange, and
for few minutes there was some de-
lay in the service, hardly noticeable
however, and within very short time
Manager Wade had a number of peo-
pie at work on the switchboard, in
cludlng various members of the Of

from Savannah arrived in the city
and will go to work in the local ex-

that they had ample cause for theil
action and said that they were will
ing 10 take the matter up in the pro
per way with officials of the com
pany. They claim that their com
plant was a just one and that they
had acted right in striking.
Whether or not the grievances viii
be amicably set lied or whether the
Savannah girls will be maintained a

" HNWLN w LHIuLN
PROMISED TODAY
REAK IN THE COLD WAVE is
PREDICTED FROM
WASHINGTON.

The weather which for the past sew
raj days has been cold enough to
lake the heart of the most pessimis-
ic plumber happy, was cold again
esterday, the mercury playing around
he freezing point all Of last night.
Today, however, If predictions hold
good, the temperature will take an
upward turn and the weather will be
precepticably warmer.
Last night by o'clock the thermo-
meter was down to about five or six
degrees above freezing and before
morning the temperature was way
down below freezing point about %
deerees being the minimum.
The News yesterday received the
following from Washington:
"The forecast Of the weather bu-
reau today states that there will be
continued cold tonight in the south
eastern states, with the thermometer
below freezing in most places. Frost
will fall as far south as southern Flor

temperature Wednesday,"
That Brunswick even though sh1v-

"The coldest weather noted in this
section since 1886 prevails through

RAYNER WANTS
ALL TREATIES TO
GO UNCHANGED
MARYLAND STATESMAN DE.
cLAREs AMENDMENTs WILL
MAKES cOMPACTS FARCES.
Dove of Peace viii Nest in Cannon's
Mouth When Germany, England,
France and America Join Hands.
Would Be Fair With World.

Washington, Jan 16.-Senator Ray
per of Maryland, in a speech today
on the arbitration treaties with Great
Britain and France, contended that
after the proposed joint high commsi-
sion had determined to submit con-
troversy to arbitration it would be
perfectly useless to give the senate
the right to reverse the commissions
action.
He declared to the senate that the
treaties would become a mockery and
farce if such a resolution, permit
ting arGitrators to decide a case, and
then giving the defendant the right
to everse it if the award did not.
"What is the USE" he asked, "of
having the high commission, of pay
ing the enormous expense and Of
investing it with the power that it
has, if it's judgment is not going to
amount to anything, and if the senate
shall have the right to set it aside
whenever it suits? To me, the Whole
complicated system of the treaty IS
absurd, if you propose to tack to it
proposition of this sort.
Lets ReWrite the Treaty."
If the state department has
changed it's midland it appears that
it has-then let US rewrite the treaty
and be frank with each other and
strike out the clause in the treaty
which gives the commission the right
to determine whether it shall sena a
controversy to arbitration. l am for
the treaties as they stand. l am per-
fectly willing to enact a comedy like
this which places the whole power
in The hands of the senate, and then
leave foreign countries to understand
that the power vested in the commits
sion is a genuine one, and that we
inte I'D to abide by it.
Il have no objection to the resolu-
ton of Senator Root in the formal
ratifcations. That is the way the
treaty ought to be passed and ought
to De adopted, so as to make it per-
fectly plain that we will not arbitrate
questions like the Monroe doctrine,
state Indebtedness, or immigration"
Senator Rayner added that the
treaties did not mean an alliance
with Great Britain or any other coun-
try.
IF they did" he said, 81 would
rather see the treaties torn into SO
many shreds than accepted The day
will ccme when Germany will enter
into the compact, and when that oc-
ours and the United States and Great
Britain and Germany and France sign
the covenant, the era of universal
peace will dawn upon the world.
"When the earth will no longer rock
beneath the tread of battling legions
and naval armaments will no longer
patrol the waters of the world in
search for the possessions of uncon-
quered races, and then, under Gods
guidance, the dove of peace will
build its nest within the cannon's
mouth"
