deemed unsafe to attempt a resump-
ton of the car service under tneir
protection alone.

methods followed an all night con-
representatives of every important
business interest In the city. The
city authorities admitted their inabil-
ity to keep order. The merchants as
sured the governor that their trade
had fallen off fully one-third as a
result of the strike.

strikers offered to waive union recog-
milton if the traction company would
arbitrate but President Todd OF the
company refused He declared he had
$50 strikebreakers in readiness to run
the cars as soon as guards are fur
nished. The men are being housed
and fed at the car parns and the
company is paying them 81 daily. al
though the demands of the strikers
are only for s2.s2 for a nine hour
day.
Fierce fighting is looked for when
the service is resumed.
The street car employees did not
call the so-called strike" said Pres
ident Todd of the traction company.

by ]. ]. Thorpe of Pittsburg The
majority of the motormen and con-
ductors in Indianapolis were satisfied
with their wages and working condi-

striking. Since Friday night. an
archy has reigned. When law and
order have been restored the com
pany is prepared to resume opera
tons"
The declaration of martial law was
delayed by the non-arrival OF troops
from other towns. They are expect
ed in the course of the afternoon.
Five local companies are waiting at
their armories. They have been sup
piled with ball cartridges.

E. @. Kastenhuber's Only New Plans
Are to Widen Scope of His
Laboratory Work.

wAYCROss. July 19.-Finding him
self in possession Of cash and property
worth quarter OF a million dollars has
not caused Edwin C. Kastenhuber to
change his way Of living. If anything,
he is working harder now than before.
He can be found any morning just at
daylight out in his backyard cutting
wood. That's his first morning work at
home and he refers to it as his "exer-
cise."
Plans for more extensive laboratory
work have been made by Mr. HASTEN
huber and with the means at hand to
carry them out, he expects in a short
while to demonstrate some valuable
formulate. One Of his successes is a mix
ture of ordinary South Georgia sand
with chemicals, forming a hard tile, coll
ored in any way desired. Fancy bricks
made by him have withstood all kinds
Of tests.
Discussing the new turn Of events,
Mr. Kastenhuber says he does not feel
any different since getting $3.50 900
In my new laboratory l will have
fitted up special quarters for students
and will have a department open to the
medical profession. The best time l can
have is when l am working and I am
certainly not going TO start loafing Just
because l am well fixed" he said.

WAYCROSS, July 19.-Plans that
are expected to aid the proposed con-
solidation of work of the American
Federation of Labor and the Farmers
Union were discussed at length in
Waycross to-day when a joint COM
mittee representing the trade union
lists and the Ware County Farmers
Union held a conference.
S. 3. Marks, president of the Geor-
gia Federation Of Labor, and Robert
Fechner, secretary, attended, as did
President James Cowart, of the Ware
County Farmers Union.
1t is not proposed that the National
Farmers Union and the American
Federation of Labor shall affiliate and
become one big organization. The
movement seeks only unity of pur-
pose-close cooperation for mutual
welfare.
Following the conference IT was an
nOunCed that a joint meeting of the
State executive committees of the
Farmers Union and the Georgia Fed
Grafton of Labor would be called.
When this is done it is expected that
the national organizations will adopt
similar plan for use in the entire
country.

With City Employees.

SAVANNAH, July 1s.--Fereafter
city officials will be shown no favor
itism when they call on Mayor Rich
ard J. Davant on city business. They
will have to take their chances along
with everybody else. If one of the
humblest citizens happens to get into
the Mayors reception room first the
city official will have to wait his
turn.
Mayor Davant has given his sec
rotary instructions to this effect. and
they Will have to stand until a sys-
tenn of office hours which the Mayor
has in mind can be put into effect
1t is the Mayors plan to set aside
a certain hour each day for inter-
views with city officials on city bust
ness. This hour will be made known
to the people, and callers other than
city officials will not be allowed to see
the Mayor during that period An
other hour-or two, if necessary
will be set aside for the public
At present there is no system of
this sort at the City Hall, and the
callers see the Mayor whenever their
time comes. Heretofore city off,
cials have been given precedence
over all others irrespective of the
time they arrived or how many peo-
pie are ahead Of them.
1t has been the case that a city of
fetal was admitted to the Mayor the
moment he arrived at the office, no
matter If a dozen or so people had
been waiting for some time for an
interview.
