Railroad Men Win Great Fight
ArbitratOrs Find for Con.
ductOrs.

Atlanta, Nov. 26. Conductors
and trainmen on the Georgia
road who recently went on a
strike because of the discharge of
two employees by the system, to-
day won their demands when the
arbitration board, agreed on by
the road and the employees to
settle the dispute, ordered the
road to reinstate the discharged
men.
The employees discharged were
Conductor !. T. Paschal and Flag
man A. M. Morgan. Paschal was
discharged because he ordered
his engineer to work continuously
more than Is hours in violation
of the federal laws, according to
the railroad officials. Morgan
was discharged as the result OF a
controversy with the road over
an expense account, the system S
officers asserted.
Conductor Paschal did not deny
that he allowed his engineer to
work more than 16 hours, but
claimed that the action was IN
accordance with orders issued by
the road. Morgan admitted q
mistake in his expense account,
claimed that after it had been
corrected the company still OBJ
iected to a charge of fifty cents
for two lunches. Dispute over
this led to his discharge.
Both employees asserted the
real reason for their discharges
was that they were prominent in
the trainmen's and conductors
union.
C. A. Wickersham, representa-
tive of the road, dissented from
the reinstatement of Conductor
paschal. The opinion in the case
of Flagman Morgan was unani-
nous, it being held that he should
have been suspended for ten days
disciplinary measure, but not dis
charged. The conductor will re-
ceive full pay from the time ne
was discharged.
The flagman will be given pay
for all the time except the sug-
gested ten days suspension.
Judge VIM. L. Chambers, OF
Washington, read the decision.
He expressed the hope that closer
relations would result between
the road and employees. Fred A..

the arbitration board.

Decatur Tobacco Barns
Fired by Night Riders

cambridge, Ca, Nov. 28.-
Night riders declared by the big
growers of the fine wrapper to-
bacco which is grown in Decatur
county, Ca, and Gadsden county,
Fla, to be in the employ of the
growers, Tuesday night burned
five barns of tobacco in Decatur
county at a loss of $40, 900. The
destruction of the tobacco brings
to a cricis a hitherto peaceful war
that has obtained for two or three
years between the large and
small owners of tobacco land.
The tobacco grown in this Sec
ton brings an exceptionally high
price and cannot be grown sue
cessfully anywhere else, it is as
serted by local tobacco men.
Three years ago the land owners
formed an association to fix prices
and hold their tobacco until the
manufacturers met the prices
they fixed. Two years ago, when
the manufactul ers refused to
treat with them, $500 worth of
tobacco was brought by the plan
ters into the public square at
Bainbridge and burned. The next
year they got together.
In the meantime the smaller
growers have not been in the
combine and have become num-
erous with the result that they
have formed an association of
their own. Tho two growers
associations had their friction and
as a result the market has been
conflicting this fall.
Tuesday night three barns
in Decatur county were burned
at the same time. twenty miles
across the Florida line, two barns
were burned. both a total loss
before discovered. Investigation
showed that three men had dis
mounted from their horses at the
Georgia barns, hoof and foot
prints being plainly observable,
and two men on the Florida
burning. for some unexplained
reason the watchmen were not at
either place and have not been
seen since.
Today in cambridge a score of
the big growers met and announ-
ced that they had engaged de-
tectiyes to probe the burning.
They declared that the smaller
growers were responsible and
that they would not rest until
they had brought the offenders
to book.
Officials of the smaller associa-
ton deny that they had anything
to do with it. In the meantime
both factions are maintaining
full and continuous guards about
their barns. The sheriffs of each
county are working on the case.
Stories are afioat to the effect
that before the week is out there
will be sensational developments
affecting both sides.

Machines.

Atlanta, Nov. Is. The same
interests which have tried to
arouse public sentiment against

alleged to exist in Savannah are
now jumping on what they claim
is still worse evil in Atlanta
the presence of gambling ma
chimes in local saloons and in q
few local hotel.
1t is stated that these slot ma
chimes have reaped a harvest OF
$150,0O0 in nickels during the
eight months they have been per
mitted to exist here, and that
they are gambling devices pure
and simple. Instead of winning
back equal money when the right
number comes, the player wins
metal checks which are good for
trade at the place where the ma
chine is set up, The law as
evaded, is said. by filling the
machines with cheap chewing
gum which the victims ostensibly
play for. The grand jury has
been asked to take up and inPes
tigate the operation of these ma
chimes.
