INSURANCE LAW \
IS NOT LIKED
British Employers Are Doing All
They Can to Have the Meas
ure Repealed.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
LONDON, July Undetermined to
beat the new workmen's insurance
law somehow, big British employers
held conference on ways and means
today. The law provides for the pay
ment of part Of the premiums by the
state, part by the employers and part
by the employees. The employers can
not escape taxation for the states
share, but it Is understood they are
talking OF general reduction in
wages to the amount OF their own
contributions. The workmen's atten-
ton will be called to the fact that
they are paying for their own insur-
ance.
Chancellor Of the Exchequer Lloyd
Georges open declaration of what the
employers have long suspected, that
workmen's insurance is only step
in vastly larger program OF social
change has alarmed some of them
greatly and they are desperately
anxious to upset his plans before he
makes any further progress. Leaders
Of the movement think they will have
their best opportunity during the first
six months OF the new laws opera
ton, since the period will be one OF
payment for the insurance while
nothing will be paid back to them in
! return.
1t is agreed that the proposed wage
reduction will prccipitate violent
labor troubles, but the more trouble
| there is. so long as they can lay it u
| the workmen's insurance law. the
better the measures opponents will
be pleased.

FOUR REGIMENTS THERE
This Year VIII be a Maneuver En-
campment with Four Regiments
Of infantry and Squadron
Of Cavalry.

Inc annual encampment OF the
Iowa National Guard this year will
be a maneuver camp at Iowa Falls.
There will four regiments of infantry
the 53rd, 54th. 18Th and the 56th Iowa
and one squadron Of cavalry. the 7th
regulars from Fort Des Moines. All
the auxiliary branches OF the service
will also be represented. the signal
corps, the medical department, engi-
neers, etc.
The new drill regulations deal much
more extensively with the movements
OF troops in the field rather than
what is commonly known as close
order drills or attention. In order to
get the most out OF field problems it
is necessary to have larger com,
mand than a regiment and 1t is prob
able that the four regiments will be
divided into two brigades and as the
Reds and the Blues" will carry on
real war in every respect except
the deadliness of the ammunition
At the recent officers camp at
Camp Dodge which the local officers
attended, a very complete course OF
instruction in military science was
conducted By the seven regular army
officers in attendance and the Iowa
officers are well prepared to profit
greatly from the practical application
OF their lessons at the Iowa Falls en-
campment.

ideal Place For Encampment.

Iowa Falls is a little city OF about
5000 inhabitants beautifully located
in the northern part OF Che state.
Every preparation is being made for
caring for the $500 soldiers that will
be in the camp and the camp bids
fair to be the best that the Iowa
guard have had in years. There will
be running water all over the camp
grounds, the tents wifi have electric
lights, telephones will be installed,
shower baths constructed and in fact
everything is being done to make the
men comfortable while In camp. The
little city is also preparing to take
care Of vast crowds of excursionists
who will visit the camp. Already
there have been planned from one to
five excursions day and it is esti-
mated that from $4,000 to $4,000 visit
tors will visit the camp during the
ten days.
Every effort is being made to In
sure full attendance of the national
guardsmen and there is some talk
that this year state regulation will
be strictly enforced which provides
that member of the national guard
absent from tour OF duty of this
kind shall be fined at the rate Of two
dollars day for each day Of alb
sence. There is a further provision
that any employer who refuses to ex-
cuse an employee for duty OF this
kind is subject to a fine Of $4,000.
In some states where this law has
been enforced it has led to consider
able trouble but it was very thor
oughly tried out last summer in an
eastern state and fine and costs
amounting to many hundreds Of do
lars was eventually collected from a
skeptical employer.

by Atlanta Police.

women passengers today are recover
ing from a nervous shock as the re-
suit of a small sized riot last night on
the flyer as it was speeding through
the mountains of Murray county at the
rate Of nearly a mile minute.
Posey, who refused medical aid at
Grady hospital, is locked up in the po-
lice station, and +. Morgan, an cleo
trical engineer Of Birmingham is also
held under guard, pending advices from
the Murray county authorities.
Whites Used Fists.
The trouble occurred when twenty ne
gro passengers. all laborers of the A. c.
Brooks Construction Company. of Biz
mingham, who were being transported
from Tullahoma, Tenn, to Live Oak,
Fla, assaulted the negro porter Had
it not been for the presence in the white
compartment of the combination coach
of four white men connected with the
company, Morgan, Barry Jones' Ed Mo-
ragne and A. c. Brooks, the conse-
quences might have been more serious.
This quartet of engineers, however,
rushed among the fighting blacks, and,
with their fists as weapons. beat back
their employees
None Of the white men were injured
beyond few minor bruises
During the melee, passengers in the
next coach We're attracted, and num-
Der of women, who could plainly see
the surging, charging crowd of whites
and blacks in the combination coach,
screamed with fright.

Knives were drawn by the blacks, and
Posey was slashed several times. His
condition, however is not considered
serious.
According to witnesses, the trouble
started when the porter who is ac-
cused of being intoxicated, is said to
have insolently commanded some of the
negro passengers to stop smoking.
When they refused, he is said to have
returned to the coach with a butcher
knife, and this was the immediate sig
nal for an outbreak

LOVERS Of MUSIC
LAUD ORCHESTRA
First Philharmonic Concert a
SuCCess-Mortimer Wilson
Proves Able Conductor.

Atlanta music lovers today are dis
cussing the successful opening of the
winter musical season-the first con-
cert by the Philharmonic orchestra at
the Grand yesterday afternoon. The
large audience and its evident appre-
citation of music of the high-class gives
promise that there will be real interest
shown in something above ragtime this
year.
Mortimer Wilson proved himself a
conductor of unusual ability by the fin
ished work of his orchestra after an ex-
tremely inadequate number of rehear-
sails. Those who had kept pace with
the work of the orchestra members
and knew how limited had been their
opportunity for ensemble practice were
amazed at the finish of the work at the
opening concert, This was particularly
striking in the rendition of Beethoven's
great Fifth Symphony, a work worthy
OF the greatest of orchestras, and one
which would be utterly ruined by sec
ond-rate organization. 1t was played
magnificently.
Other numbers were the Lohengrin
prelude, Tschaikowsky's Slavic march
and Carl Won Weber's famous "Jubi-
lee" overture.
There was no Eight music on the
program, but the audience. easily the
largest ever attendant upon a phil
harmonic concert in Atlanta. seemed
thoroughly to enjoy and appreciate the
recital.

Pesky's $3.50 Breakfast.
1T was just after the first chicken
show given in Atlanta. All the prize
birds had been loaded into wagons,
ready for the express office, when that
negro happened along and took look.
He climbed aboard a wagon, persuaded
the driver to have 'nigh-beer' or two
with him, and finally drove the load OF
chickens into Darktown, chose about a
dozen fine young fowls and disappeared
Next tmorning the police found
chicken feathers outside his door and
the remnants of a chicken breakfast
on his table. Pesky and his friends
had devoured $3.50 worth of chicken, ac-
cording to prices offered and refused by
the owners. How's that for one break

rector. Tell us how you do it,"

NEGRO PAIR 81 ASH
MANS POCKETS AND
GET $50 DIAMONDS

CHICAGO. Dec. 9.-Detectives today
are searching the negro quarter OF Chi
cago for two robbers who attacked Jo-
seph Marochnick, a New York diamond
importer and robbed him Of $27,5OO in
diamonds and $1,000 in currency. The
robbery occurred in Michigan avenue,
one block south of the Blackstone hotel.
at midnight
Marochnick was slashed with knives
and razors as he fought with the high
waymen. The diamonds were his own
property and were not insured. His
coat was slashed in number of places
and there was an ugly cash across the
back of one hand when he rushed to a
police station and told his story.
Marochnick fought desperately. he
said, but the negroes slashed at him and
cut open the pocket In which the dia-
monds were carried. They also cut
away his necktie, in which was a dia-
mond pin. The stolen stones consisted
OF $50 unset diamonds.
Marochnick was to have been mar
ried in January

Guard Well Your Coop of Christmas Chickens
PESKY POPE'S AT LARGE!!

Keep a paddock on your chicken
house and tie the dog inside it. The
Atlanta negro is going to have his
Christmas chicken, even if he has to
buy it, but buying is his last resort"
That's the advice the county police
are giving suburban residents as Christ
mas approaches. Even as watermelon
on the Fourth of July or as fried fish
in the springtime is the smell of chick
en- gravy at Christmas to the colored
contingent Chicken fanciers who have
lost whole coops of prize winning birds
in other holiday seasons are sit
ting up with shotguns between their
knees
For several years there has flourished
in Atlanta and its environs a chicken
fancier known to sheriff and police as
Pesky Pope. Pesky is chicken con-
noisseur. He can tell a Buff Orpington
cOckerel from a barred Wyandotte the
minute he tightens his grip around their
legs, and he can shut both eyes and
distinguish between a Brahma and an
Indian Game the instant he sinks his
teeth in the drumstick.
Some Chicken Eater!
Pesky is accustomed to chicken three
times day in the intervals when he is
not sojourning in the stockade, and is
known far and wide as a more danger
Gus pest than the roup, pip and all
other chicken epidemics combined.
During the last chicken show at the
Auditorium, Pesky coaxed ticket from
some one and roamed up and down the
aisles like cat outside canary cage,
his mouth watering for prize chicken.
That languid colored gentleman,
there by the bantam coop, holds the
distinction Of having eaten the highest
priced meal ever served in Atlanta, =
said one of the show directors, point
