State Asked To Settle
Street Railway Strike
In Progress at Augusta
Aid of Labor Commissioner Stan.
ley Sought To Bring Peace Be-
tween Car Men and Co.

Commissioner of Labor Stanley has
been approached quietly by interested
parties who want him to use his infiu-
ence in bringing about, if possible, a
settlement of the street railway strike
in Augusta.
Under section 3 of the act of 1911
creating the office of commissioner of
labor, Mr.. Stanley is clothed with au-
thorlty to do this, if, in his judgment,
it seems the fit and proper thing,
Because of the delicacy Of the mat
ter, the commissioned would be slow to
he were assured in advance that his
move in a matter of this kind unless
efforts likely would be acceptable. He
would not care to appear as a partisan
in the dispute from any conceivable
standpoint.
The commissioner has taken the sug-
gestion, coming to him as it did, under
serious advisement. He has not made
up his mind what he will do, but If he
does undertake to interfere the impress
sion is that the situation in Augusta
may be adjusted speedily.

Chief Beavers To Be
Sermon Theme

d.. John f. White, pastor OF the Sec
ond Baptist church and a leader in the
Men and Religion Forward Movement,
this afternoon gave out a statement
praising the action OF Chief Beavers
and declaring that the fight to down
vice in Atlanta has just begun. Dr..
White also announces that he will
preach next Sunday night on Chief
Beavers and the Present Situation"
DR.. White says:
First. / want TO congratulate The
Georgian on it's splendid editorial of a
| few days ago, an editorial which is
bound to exert a wide influence for
good throughout the entire state and
receive the commentator of all clear
thinking and good people.
Il also want to stress the fact that
the Christian people and all of the bet
ter element Of Atlanta are squarely be-
| hind Chief Beavers in this fight--not
loosely, but solidly. The chiefs action
is the result of first hand knowledge of
facts of constant contact with the or
ganiaed elements in support of vice in
Atlanta, OF intelligence concerning
what has been done in other cities, and,
above all, Of his own conscience, which
kept his solemn oath TO enforce the
law before his honest mind
The attitude of the Men and Re-
| ligion Forward Movement. from the
beginning, has been based on intelli-
gence and not on sensa tionaism and
fanaticism There was the law-here
was the crime and criminals. There
was never a moments doubt of the out
come Of the campaign. And it is not
over yet.
we have just begun the fight Re-
ports from many towns in Georgia in
dictate that the Atlanta spirit to sup
press defiant vice is going to be con-
tasious in the smaller towns and cities
Of this state, Really, the movement Is
part of great nation wide agitation
which can not be stopped, because facts
keep it alive"

Removal of Police
From Cars Demanded

AUGUSTA, GA, Sept. 26.-Following
of Trades last night, a committee will
call on Mayor Thomas Barrett today to
demand that policemen be taken off the
street care. where they have been
placed to protect non-union motormen
and conductors.
The labor men of Augusta have
threatened a sympathetic strike if their
demands are not complied with. They
hold that General Manager Deal of the
railway company, is entirely RESPONSE
bic for the street railway strike, and
that the strikers should be allowed to
fight their battles with the company
without the latter being assisted by the
police
The labor men say there has been no
disorder on the cars SO far. City off,
Gals declare that policemen on the
cars have been the only cause Of keep
ing down disorder, and that the cars
could not run five minutes unless under
police protection.
Union labor men paraded on Broad
street last night 500 strong. However,
there was no disorder save shouting.
1t is confidently expected that Mayor
Barrett will refuse to take the police
men off the cars, and there may be a
general strike ordered within a day or
two There will be another meeting of
the union labor men tonight, when a
report of committee appointed to see
Mayor Barrett will be heard
Policemen are on the cars today.

Debts on Resort
Furniture Illegal

BY peculiar coincidence an echo Of
the Collins street raids of two years
ago, in which that restricted district
was wiped out by court order, was
heard in first division of superior court
today The verdict Of the court will
check Atlanta furniture dealers who
have had dealings with the proprietors
Of restricted district resorts and who
might be contemplating suits for debts.
In deciding the suit OF the Abbot
Furniture Company, 241 Marietta
street, against Daisy Mobley, formerly
of 9 Collins street. the court held THAI
the furniture man had knowledge OF
the illegal character of the resort, and
therefore could not replevin furniture
upon which money still was due
The answer filed to the furniture
company suit by the Mobley women, in
which the furniture company was held
to be aiding and abetting the viola
ton of the law by selling furniture to
be used in an immoral resort, was sus-
tanned.

to replevin the goods was filed. The
furniture passed out of the woman's
hands before the Abbot people could

The court init mated plainly that any
