BROWN DEMANDS END
OF STATELABOR WARS

Governor Joseph NJ. Brown, in an
Interview given out today, puts the en-
tire state on notice that the executive
will maintain the peace of the state and
the rights OF property in Georgia at all
hazards in the future, and regardless Of
private and personal differences be-
tween capital and labor
The governor takes the late Georgia
railroad strike as his text, and com
ments vigorously upon the great wrong
that situation inflicted upon thousands
OF innocent Georgians served by the
line and the employees of the same,
and says that the parties to such con-
troversies shall be held strictly &C
countable to the state itself for such
wrongs hereafter He urges legisla-
tive enactment Of a law making arbi-
tration Of labor troubles compulsory
The executive insists that the state
of Georgia is paramount to all inter
ests-that in such situations as the one
referred to it is the state that is wrong
ed primarily and most outrageously.

In part. the governor says:
The power of the state Of Georgia
is supreme in her own confines. And
yet, with all her power. the forbCar-

has afforded an object lesson which
was the repetition of one upward OF
three years ago, but which it is safe t.

Il refer to the strike OF some of the
trainmcn on the Georgia railroad.
1T is well known that the manage
ment of the Georgia railroad dismissed
from its service one Of it's conductors
and one Of its fagmen. Following this,
all the conductors and all. the hagmen,
save possibly those On the Washington
branch, struck or refused to work.
The management hired other men and
attempted to operate some of the trains.
These men were beset by mobs at the
terminal stations and at some local
points and violently beaten or other
wise driven from service, Except on
the Washington branch, therefore, on
which it was protected by the authori-

mo part had they in this difference,
no blame could be imputed to them by
either side of it, Yet upon them fell
the inconvenience the danger, the loss.
But almost cOntemporaneously with
the notice of the strike was published
the statement that Messrs. Neill and
Knapp would come down from Wash
ington to erdeavor to effect a settle
ment by arbitration. Under these con-
ditions, the authorities of the state
withheld any exercise Of the states
power for the time.
Days of delay and increasing pri-

That's the only way I can see it,"

Mrs. Costner confirmed the report
that she is planning to sue the South

of Ter husband. She has consulted law
yers She said, but has not decided on
\ the sum for which she will ask.
Mrs Costrer is indignant over the

serts that Renfroe is being done an in

charge against him.
Mrs Costner laid stress on a denial
Of the statement given out that she
purchased an automobile just a few
days following the death of her hus-
band.
AS to this blue roadster that is
causing some talk, | want to say this,
said Mrs. Costner "That car, Mar

Each Person
Uses Three Tons.

Tonnage of coal used, including man
ufacturing and domestic, $4,000. OF
three tons per capita of $4,000 popula-
ton.
Cost Of coal at average price Of SO
ton, s1,575,O 900.
Saving possible by correct methods
Of combustion, 10 per cent, $236,250
The last named sum represents what
coal consumers could save in actual
dollars and cents, by burning less coal
and producing the same number OF
heat units as are produced now with
that is per cent flying out of the smoke
stack.
But there is an indirect charge
against the whole city through the
overplus of smoke in Atlanta's atmos-
phere. This is the terrible loss
through damage to property of various
kinds. In Chicago, where statisticians
have made a close study of smoke con-
ditions for term of years, this loss is
fixed at $15 for each man, woman and
child in the city. Inspector McMichael
believes 1t is lower in Atlanta But,
fixing the per capita loss at only SIS, to
be conservative. Atlantas $4,000 pop
ulation loses $4,000 a year through
ruin by smoke One down-to town manu-
facturer told Inspector McMichael that
the firms loss was 500 a week, through
materials and finished garments ruined
by soft coal smoke settling on them.
How Smoke Piles
Up the Losses.
These losses are itemlzed, in part, as
follows:
Increased laundry bills through
quickly soiled garments. Consequent
short life of garments through fire.
quent washing
Loss to retail stores merchandise
soiled and sold at reduction.
Loss to wholesale stores, same.
Loss to manufacturers and business
houses by extra cost of light. With
smoke in the air it is necessary to turn
on the lights an hour earlier than 9TH
erwlse Some houses burn them all
| day. This means decreased efficiency,
also, for skilled work by artificial light
is never so good as by sunlight
These might be detailed indefinitely.
But there is another loss impossible to
estimate. It's results may be found in
the tubercular hospitals and the ceme-
teries. It is the tremendous loss to hui
man health through breathing smoke
surcharged air.
Don't think that smoke reducing
methods can be used only by the bin
