LAW
IS CREDITED To
". R. HEARST
Publisher Was Original Advocate
of Measure in Congress, Rep
resentative Rainey Says.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1S.-Wiliam
Randolph Hearst was given credit for
being the original advocate in the
House Of Representatives Of the
Eight-hour Law for employees by
representative Rainev, Of Illinois, tes-
tifying before the Carrot Lobby In
vestigating Committee. He said:
The great fight for the Eight-hour
Law was made by Mr. Hearst a
member Of the House in 1907 We
had a committee meeting late in the
session. Mr.. Hearst saw We lacked
votes. and talked on the measure I'M
til We could get friends back to vote
for it.
"A technical point was raised
against the committee action, but Mr..
Hearst deserves credit for getting the
bill passed as soon as the Democrats
got in power"

conditions have little if anything to
do with it.
I'VE must go out of the State to get
most of our foodstuffs," Mr.. Eve said.
We must depend on the West and
North for our wheat, corn, oats and
meats and their products and by
products. Ii is only natural that
these things should cost less in the
States where they are grown than in
States to which they are shipped
1.-The grocers and butchers have not
willingly raised the prices of their
largely by the volume of sales, and
than when it is dear.
Dealers Make Low Profits.
"Grocers and butchers in Atlanta
are doing business now on a smaller
margin of profit than ever before in
the history of trade, and are making
less money. Twelve years ago, when
the high cost of living first made its
appearance, goods were sold at a
profit of from 35 to so per cent. Now
they are sold at from 20 to % per
cent.
THE groceryman's expenses are
about II IL to 20 per cent, leaving
him a net profit OF about per cent
on his business or sales: but not on
his investment
ut is emphatiCally up to the people
Of Georgia to reduce the high cost of
living by raising the things we now
have to ship in from other States,
and for which the soil and climate of
Georgia are admirably fitted"

By DIR. HARVEY w. WILEY.

The increasing price of food is not
due solely to its scarcity. There
never was time when man
was so well fed as at the present
We do not have to look far to see the
cause Of the increased cost of food.
First people are eating better
foods than ever before, and second.
The purchasing medium, namely gold,
is relatively far more abundant than
ever before, hence the quantity of
food it will purchase is decidedly less
The great staples, the cereals. how
ever, are not as expensive at the
present time as during the past
Would Check Rush Cityward.
For a days labor a man can buy
more wheat than he could % or so
years ago. 1t is the part of scientific
nutrition as well as social economy to
increase the quantity of cereals in
our foods and to diminish those nutri-
ents which are Of less necessity and
of increasingly higher price
To my mind, it seems, the most
important factor of the day is to
check the aggregation of men in the
cities and to encourage the distribu-
tion Of the great industries where
men are employed.
ne IdOlOlN III ii ldIIn nelSnDOT-
hood is a boon to every farmer, af-
fording him a home market and saw
ing the cost of transportation. The
moral and mental effect upon the pee
pie of a distribution of Industries is
no less important
Saloon VS.. Truck Garden,
The saloon has no compelling at
traction for the labOring man who,
after his eight hours of work. has
eight hours for his flower and vege-
table garden. If our productive in
dustries in a manufacturing line were
properly distributed, the alcohol evil
would be robbed of most Of its ter
rors.
The unfortunate condition now
exists of providing so-called fresh
foods IN an advanced state of stale
ness and of providing foods which
should be properly aged in an imma-
ture state. The cured ham is ready
for distribution within three weeks of
slaughter and the four year-old whis-
ky is made in 40 seconds"

Bloodhounds Said to Have Picked Up Trail at
Scene of Crime

with an army of railroad detectives
and deputy sheriffs spreading their
dragnet over the hills and valleys of
! Spalding County in the search for
evidence against the men who at
tempted to wreck the Dixie Flyer at
Hampton. Ca, late Tuesday night,
suspicion has been directed against
three young white men, residents of
the county, who are being trailed by
the officers.
Sheriff L. d. Huston. of Spalding
County who has charge of the in
vestigation, and two railroad detec-
tiveS, have been working up evidence
against the three men since Engi-
neer Thomas b. Ragsdale saved the
lives Of hundreds of passengers by
stopping his train on the brink Of al
most certain disaster 1t is declared
that they have secured evidence
which establishes almost to a GER
tainty the guilt Of the men, and an
arrest is expected within eighteen
hours.
Think Hounds Got Trail.
Neither the members of the Sher-
ifs force nor the railroad authori-
ties will divulge the names Of the
suspected men or the nature of the
evidence they have obtained against
them. IT is rumored, however, that
all three are well known citizens of
, that section of the State, and sensa-
tional developments are expected to
follow their arrest. 1t is understood
that their trail was picked up by the
bloodhounds that were hurried to the
scene Immediately after the frustrat-
ing Of the plans of the wreCkers.
Thomas r. RaEsdale, engineer
whose feat of stopping the heavy
Flyer within six car lengths railroad
men say. never has been duplicated,
took his train out as usual Thursday,
( with little thought of the stirring
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-09-19

events of his last run. Hundreds OF
comrades, men with whom he has
worked for years, have congratulated
| him on his nerve and foresight in
stopping his train in time to avoid a
| terrible catastrophe.
Congratulated by His "Pal."
Among them was his old Chum,
II. II. Conner, engineer on the New
York and New Orleans Limited of
the West Point Railroad, who has
worked and lived with Ragsdale for
many years The two men have their
homes at Macon and Montgomery,
respectively, but when in Atlanta they
room together at 10l IL Whitehall
street. They are inseparable, and
Conner is even more happy than
Ragsdale over the successful frus-
trating of the plans to wreck the
train.
Ragsdale is inclined to scott at his
own feat and to minimize the danger
that confronted the passengers on his
train. Pleas of newspaper photgra-
piers that he pose for a picture We're
met by a smile and the emphatic
statement that he was not looking
for nOtoriety.
Il had rather have the love Of my
wife and family" said Ragsdale,
than all the fame and 81, ry in the
world"
Minimizes Great Feat.
1t was only after almost continuous
pleading that Ragsdale and Conner
consented to pose for their pictures.
Nobody wants to see my picture"
smiled the engineer Il didn't do
anything out of the ordinary. I just
happened to see the open switch and
stopped my train before we reached
it. Any engineer would have done it
Just as well as | did"
Other engineers say that Ragsdale's
feat of stopping a train running at
60 miles an hour in six car lengths
with nothing but the air brakes is one
of the most remarkable on record.
