To SHOW Up SYSTEM
IN INQUIRY INTO LABOR

few Of them. he declared. could keep
out Of debt
He told Of one instance II a man.
50 years old, who literally had 10
drag himself into his home at night.
A few social hours with the family
together. so necessary to happy home
life is out Of the question, he said.
Describing what he termed the
"pitiable condition Of women and girl
workers. the minister vigorously
scored Atlanta's wealthy women for
extravaganza in fancy dress and I'm
cry, and paid his respects to the rich
employers. many Of whom he accused
OF rccklessly squandering money on
needless luxuries, while their toilers
were not paid a wage sufficient TO
provide decent clothes and proper
food He said
Enough money is wasted and
thrown away in sheer extravaganza
in the homes Of the rich in Atlanta
to supply a decent. living wage for
every working girl in the city and
thus render her immune from the
lure of the tomptcr."
Mr.. Wallace declared he was salts
fed many women in Atlanta pay
more than 81 900 year for their
gowns and hats. He cited one home
in PeaChtree street in which he said
he had found that the laundry bill
alone amounted to 800 per month.
Mr.. Wallace announced that next
Sunday night he will discuss the
most feasible remedy to relieve pres
ent-day labor evils

Commenting Monday morning on
his second arraignment Sunday
night Of labor conditions in Atlanta,
which was more scathing than his
first attack a week ago. the Rev. Hugh
S Wallace, pastor Of the Jones Ave
nue. Baptist Church, declared that this
week he will continue his personal
investigation and will show up the
whole system"
He said that in his investigation
OF one Atlanta mill last week he had
found a deplorable state of affairs.
He made the direct charge Sunday
night that women and children EN-
ployed in the cotton mills in Atlanta
and Georgia are "in worse state of
slavery than we're the negro slaves
freed by the Civil War"
He declared that the factory work
ers Of to-day are deprived Of the &C
tual necessities Of life, while the slave
owners Of years gone by saw to 1t
that their black slaves were well pro-
vided with food and clothing.
He said he had found that many
of the women and children have to
work such long hours and so hard
10 keep soul and body together that
they were physically unable to keep
their homes clean and sanitary. Very

STOCK JUDGING AT
LOCAL EXHIBITION

When the annual exhibition of the
Arkansas Live Stock Association is
held in this city this fall, the four
classes in stock judging of the four
state agricultural schools will COM
pete in this city and will Judge many
of the animals at the fair.
This was the announcement made
yesterday by Secretary H. G.. Spauld-
ing, who stated that this request had
been asked of the Association, by the
directors of the schools. He also
stated that the Association would
award a handsome silver loving cup
to the winning team. The teams to
compete will be those from the state
agricultural schools at Magnolia. Rus
sellville, Monticello and Jonesboro.
All teams have made very high marks
in the stock judging wark and a very
close contest is expected.
This is another recognition of the
Arkansas Live Stock Association as
being a statewide organization, and
is taken as high compliment by the
officials. The teams each will bring
a number of horses with them and
perhaps other stock, all Of which
will probably be sold on the grounds.

eight towers and containing dark and
horrible dungeons without light, Shiny
with mold and alive with rats. Countless
thousands of prisoners died lingering
deaths in this awful place. Petty spite
and personal ouarrels we're settled by
court favorites obtaining an order to i'm.
prison the unfortunate victims here, and
few were those who ever again saw the
sunlight. Thus the Bastille became the
terror of the people of France. 1900
On this fair morning in uly, l1S9,
rumors OF attack by the royal troops had
set the people wild, and armed with
every sort of weapon they marched upon
the imprcgnable prison. The garrison
within could see them approach, take
aim at the loopholes, and fire. One OF the
garrison was killed; but when the soldiers
fred the mob fell like grain before the
scythe. Some of the soldiers, sick at see
ing their countrymen murdered, called
upon the governor to surrender. The
latter, realizing that his cruelty had made
him hated by the people, determined to
die, but to take the mob into eternity
with him. Selling torch he rushed into
the powder magazine. He was caught
lust in time by the soldiers, and with a
musket at his head ordered the draw
bridge lowered.
Then was let loose the hatred that had
been growing in the peoples hearts for
centuries. The garrison was slaughtered
and the prisoners freed. But nothing
would do less than the destruction of the
place itself, and for whole year an
army of men, women, and children toiled
upon the shrinking walls of this symbol
of despotic power. 1t was leveled to the
ground, and now only a line OF white
stones in the pavement shows where 1t
stood. This open space is called the
Place de la Bastlle. In its center is a
fine shaft l54 feet high, the Column 1t
Iuly," built to commemorate the heroes
of the Revolution of 1880. The remains
of those who fell in this, and also the
revolution of 1913, are contained in a.,
immense sarcophagus within its base.

THOUSANDS WITNESS
IMPERATOR'S ARRIVAL
MAMMOTH VESSEL. MAKES IT'S AR.
sRIAALSAT NEW YORk-LNRG-
EST TN THE WORLD.
Will Start On Return Journey on
January 25-AGreat Reception.

New York, June 19.-Thousands of
persons thronged the Hoboken water
front today to get glimpse of the
Imperator. the largest steamship af-
loaf, after she reached Their dock. The
giant vessel was Wharfed into her
pier without the slightest hitch, de-
spite the fears of what might hap
pen on account of her size and the
swift tide.
Never before has a passenger car
rying vessel been given the reception
accorded the Imperator. The trip up
from Quarantine was made to the
compartment of one continuous blast
of whistles from all crafts in the har-
Dor as we'll as from several factories
on shore
Those who visited the Imperator
found that not only does the new
Hamburg-American liner surpass
anything afloat as Ito size. but her
equipment and finishings rival that of
the palatial hotels on land, as W
as SURPRISING beyond comparison that
Oh all other liners.
The Imperator will sail on her re-
turn voyage on June %. Meanwhile
she will be open to visitors, charge
of 30 cents being made and the pro-
ceeds divided among the charity hos

Pine Bluff Company Goes
Into Federal Court to En-
Join New Water Rates.
CLAIM RATES UNJUST
President Bridges, Of Water Company,
Files Petition for Injunction
at Little Rock.

A legal battle which promises to
be very interesting was that which
began yesterday when a petition, ask
ing that the city officials of Pine Bluff
be restrained from enforcing the re-
Gently adopted ordinance fixing new
water rates to be charged by the Pine
Bluff Company, was filed in the Unit
ed States District Court in Little Rock
by F. G. Bridges, president of the
Pine Bluff Company.
The petition alleges that the ordi-
nance is unconstitutional on account
of the fact that it is in violation of the
contract between the city and the
water company, and is confiscatt
because the rates are fixed so low.
AS the rates fixed by the ordinance
will become effective on July /, the
case will be taken up some time be-
tween now and that date.
The ordinance which is the subject
of litigation was adopted short time
after the new city administration
came into control. It's provisions are
to the effect that the Pine Bluff Com
pany shall not charge more than %
cents per 1000 gallons, with rate
of 20 cents per 1000 gallons for all
over $4,000 gallons and up to $4,000
gallons, and with a rate of II 1-2
cents per thousand for all over So
000 The consumer is given the right
to have flat rate or meter measure
ment, and only one minimum meter
charge shall be made regardless Of
the number of houses on the same
connection. A penalty of not less
than $25 nor more than $500 is fixed
becomes effective July l.
The Pine Blu Company now
charges as a maximum rate, 40 cents
per thousand gallons, with lower rates
for water used in large quantities.
The company claims that the ordi-
nance lowering the water rates is in
violation of the contract made be-
tween the city and the company and
is therefore unconstitutional, and
that if such rates as were prescribed
in the recently adopted ordinance
were to go into effect then the water
company would be forced to supply
water at a loss and hence the ordi-
nance is confiscatory.
The case is of much local interest
and practically the entire popula-
ton of Pine Bluff is anXiously await
ing the outcome. 1t is thought, how
ever, that the fight will be long one
and several appeals taken.
