Injunction Hearing
At Macon Monday

MACON, GA, Oct. 9.-The Federal
injunction in the Georgia railroad
strike, signed by Judge w. l. Grubb in
Birmingham yesterday afternoon, was
recorded in the district court clerks Of
fee in Macon today. 1t will be de-
termined Monday morning at II o'cloo *
at a hearing in Macon before Judge
Grubb, whether the order shall be
made permanent.
"All persons interested are COM
manded to show cause at this time
why the injunction shall not be made
the permanent order of this court" so
reads the order
The order is specifically directed
against Horace Clary, - Clary, -
La2enby. J. S. Fitzgerald. e. f. Gray,
Pierce B. King and all other persons to
whom notice of this restraining order
shall come"
1t is stated here that effort will soon
be MADE to resume regular schedules
on the Georgia railroad, at least to the
extent of carrying the mails, and on
each train there will be a number of
special United States deputies. sworn

do not want strikes when we can avoid
them"
Inc question as to how far the gov
eminent injunction against interior
ence with mails viii protect passenger
trains is knotty one. 1t is anticipated
that the road will take advantage of
the injunction to attempt to operate
trains bearing passengers, baggage and
express, as well as mails. 1t is even
possible that freight train might be
sent out with one bag of mail in the
caboose
Inc Injunction also covers interfer-
ence with interstate freight. which in
eluues practically everything. 1t has
been ruled by the courts that one
package of freight destined for a point
beyond the boundaries of the state con-
sltutes an interstate movement for the
whole train of cars bearing that pack
age. The unions have protested Bit
terlN against such a construction of the
law.
Sheriff c. w. Mangum, of Fulton
county, received a telegram today from
superintendent Brand. of the Georgia
road, notifying him that the writ Of
injunction had been issued. He did not
seem impressed.
Superintendent Brand has no iuris-
dlction over me" said the sheriff. such
notification amounts to nothing Be
fore l shall take cognizance OF It must
be notified by a government official
and in an official way.
But there won't be any disorder in
Fulton county as long as I'm sheriff.
Nobody expects 10 have any trouble"
Sheriff Mangum is a veteran railroad
man and a member or the trainmen's
organization He has steadily coun-
selied the union men against any &C,
which would injure person or property.
Officials OF the joint terminals stated
that the men employed to take the
places Of the terminal workers were not
'strikebreakers, but experienced rail-
road men who were hired permanently.
They offered TO take back such strik
ing employees as they could use With
out discharging these new men.
Vice President Sines denied that ex-
perienced railroaders were at work in
the terminals.

Strikebreakers Here
Jeered BY the "Outs.

All the nurses gathered on the front
porch of the dormitory, adjoining the
hospital and discussed the strike this
morning and jeered the strikebrealIing
nurses as they were brought in from
other hospitals. When Miss Matilda
Houser and Miss Maggie Edwards re-
turned to work the twelve other nurses
rose and threatened all sorts of dire
things.
Just wait till tonight" they said
Wen duck 'em in the bathtub and
do ali sorts of things to 'em. They're
just scabs. the horrid things, and they
signed that paper, too"
The remaining twelve will take lunch
at restaurant at noon, they said, just
at the time they were ordered to re-
port or to forever remain away.
I'VE don't care whether we go back
or not" said one. 'I'll bet this is the
first time you ever saw so many women
stay of the same mind for such a long
time"

NURSES STRIKE
IS BROKEN Up IN
SHORT ORDER
Young Women's indignation at
Refusal of Telephone Privi-
Iege Doesn't Last Long.

Though they had declared they
would never return to their work as
nurses in the Atlanta hospital until a
telephone for their own use was put in
the dormitory (for spooning purposes
according to the hospital head), and
that they would pick cotton or wash
rather than submit, striking nurses at
the Atlanta hospital donned their caps
and reported for duty at noon today
the time limit set by DR.. Thomas H.
Hancock, half owner of the hospital
The girls struck at o'clock this
morning, the entire staff of nurses
leaving the hospital. While they were
out, the wives Of the hospital doctors
and several graduate nurses from out
side cared for the patients After be-
ing out for four hours, two of the strik-
ers thought life without telephone
might be bearable and returned to
work. The others declared that never
would they come in again at 11:15
o'clock at night or do without talking
to their beauX whenever they liked.
They stayed free and jobless until II: so
o'clock Then dinner bell sounded at
II O'Clock and, as one person, they
marched solemnly into the hospital,
prepared for duty.
Fourteen nurses struck, Miss A. L.
Dunman, who had but two more months
to serve before receiving her diploma,

morning two reported for duty, but the

clan. both of whom said they voted for
DR.. George Brown in the first primary,
but who are now for Mr.. Chambers.
The statement is in the form of an in
terview.
Asks Support For Chambers.
After thanking his friends for their
support and declaring that the cam
paign has left no feeling of bitterness
in him, the statement, dated October 9,
says among other things:
great many of my friends are
warm supporters of Mr.. Chambers,
and while l do not know him very
well, | am thoroughly satisfied that
the affairs of this city would be
safe and secure in his hands; and,
as l said before will not and do
not presume to dictate to any of
my friends what they shall do.
1t is my belief that the welfare
of the city of Atlanta requires AL
dine Chambers election on the 18th
of October next. l would like to
see my friends support him.

The other statement is a letter to
Mr.. Woodward. pledging his vote and
support. 1t is dated October 4, but Mr..
Woodward said it was not to be made
public until today. 1t says in part:

Catholic Priests in
Trouble in Germany

BERLIN, Aug. 9.-Strange things are
happening these days in Alsace-Lor-
raine. The other day a Metz court-mar-
tial sentenced four Catholic priests each
to six months imprisonment for insub-
ordination. They had been called up at
Diedenhofen to one Of those control
musters' to which reservists are period
ically summoned, and. 1t is alleged, be-
haved unbecomingly toward the officers
in charge.
On being taken to task for this they
entered a written protest in a manner
not in accordance with the regulations,
and threatened to lay the matter before
the parliament at Strassburg. which has
already caused so much displeasure In
high places. Considering this threat dis
respectful, the officer laid information
against the Offenders. The court took
more serious view OF the case, and
found them additionally guilty of ''re-
sistance" and menaces.
A fifth priest, who also signed the
protest, got off with three days i'm
prisonment. All the defendants have
appealed to a higher military tribunal
1t need hardly be added that the i'm
prisonment of Catholic priests, whether
rightful or wrongful. will not simplify
the situation in Alsace- Lorraine.

COL0RED TROOPER,
AMUCK, TRIES TO
SHOOT UP TOWN
Connecticut City Has Ex-
perience That Recalls
Brownsville.

ANsONIA, Conn.,, Aug. s.-The ex-
perience Of the colored troopers in
Brownsville was vividly recalled here
today as a result of near-riot shortly
after midnight precipitated by a colored
trooper Of the Tenth United States cav
airy, named Ward, who threatened to
shoot up the town after becoming in
toxicated.
The trooper was severely beaten by
a crowd of three hundred persons in
front Of the postoffice on Main street
and but for the interperence Of his
companions, two white men, named
Burns and roin, of Beacon Falls, the
police. and some prominent citizens, he
would have received worse treatment.
He was taken to the store of the Bristol
Drug Company. The crowd rushed for
timbers from a nearby building In proc
ess Of construction to break in the doors
of the drug store, but the arrival of
the police deferred them until he could
be hustled away for Beacon Falls.
AS he left he fired a shot from his
gun and threatened to return to the
city tonight with his friends and shoot
up the town
Mayor Charters later got into COM
munication with the officers of the
Tenth Cavalry In order to apprise them
of the trouble and prevent a repetition
tonight Of the riot on a worse scale.

CONTEMPT CASE
Both Joyce and Plant Fac
tions Claim 1t Is a
". Victory.

Mt. Rainier Justly famous contempt
of court case came to an end today
with both sides claiming victory. In
the circuit court Of Prince George
county Judge Fillmore Beall dismiss
ed the rule citing Mayor Joseph Theo-
philus Kirk Plant and the four coun-
cilmen at Mt. Rainier to appear to
show cause why they should not be
adjudged in contemptSof court.
Let 'em off with d stern lecture"
is the way the adherents Of Robert F..
Joyce, the former mayor, describes
the finding of the, court.
1--WE won or else the court would
not have dismissed tho rule" cry the
Plant faction. sr... ..t SO
Defendants Warned.
At all events Judge Beall warned
Mayor Plant and the councilmen that
"the DEGREES of this court must be care
fully respected and carried out to the
letter."
Judge Beall also told the five men
before him that 1t would be a good
thing IL they would go home to dwell
in peace and amity with their neighbors
and to avoid all sorts Of squalls and
squabbles.
Mayor Plant and Councilmen warren
w. James, Fred Webber, Thomas c.
Elliott. and Francis NJ. Proctor were
the defendants at the bar today. Mr..
Elliott is the recalled councilman in
whose stead former Mayor Joyce got
G. w. Hughes elected last Saturday. 1t
was over this recalle election that the
contempt of court alleged came about.
Joyce appeared some time ago before
the court and secured writ of man
damu compelling the election to be held
in not less than thirty nor more than
forty days. Three weeks passed and
the Plant faction finding that 1t would
gain seventeen more votes in one ward
II reregistratiop took place, decided to
have the election postponed. Claim was
set up that the charter required this
reregistration.
Asked to Show Cause.
So the, date of the election was set
ahead and the forty-day limit set by
the court threatened to expire sooner.
AT this point Mr.. Joyce went into court
and asked for the rule citing Mayor
Plant and the others to appear and show
cause why they should not be adjudged
in contempt.
When Mayor Plant and his allies
learned this they hurried up the election
and held 1t within the forty-day time
limit Hence they were not in contempt
after all, they say, or had purged them
selves of contempt. They came into
court today on the original citation to
anpear and the rule was dismissed as
stated above. Both sides appear pleased

Finley.
I'VE have just reached the time in
the United States when this problem of
increasing average yields per acre Is be-
coming acute with the growth of
population. demand for farm products
of all kinds Is increasing, and there
are no longer vast areas of productive
lands in the West open to farm settle

THE growing demand must be met
In larger measure than heretofore by
the farmers of the older States, and
there is no section which, by its geo.

dition than the Southeastern States.
The county fair can be made most

problem Of increasing the yields Of our
