SEEK TOKEEP
POLICE OUT
Of STRIKE
Workers Threaten Trouble for
Cotton Mill for Violation of
"Sweatshop" Law.

An appeal for help was made to
Mayor James G. Woodward Tuesday
on strike at the big Fulton Bag and
Cotton Mills. The request for aid
was voiced through a committee Of
four which presented grievances
against the management the estab-
lishment and urged that the police
be not allowed to interfere with the
situation
According to one of the workers the
trouble at the mill was brought 10
climax by recent ruling that
wages y'er.d net be paid until GO
hours Of labor had been performed
that is, the employee would not be
paid more frequently than that. The
men claim that this works consider
able hardship, many having to wait
two weeks for their pay.
Leaders of the strikers added that
they would bring charges against the
mill management for general viola
ton of the recent ordinance passed
by Council to eliminate "sweatshop"
conditions. They asserted that they
would ask thorough inquiry of the
conditions under which women and
children labored.
Estimates as to the number of men
now on strike differed widely. Ac-
rording to the mill heads not more
than $50 are out. The strikers es-
Innate placed the figure around 1000,
which is believed to be a great eXag
seraton. About 100 gathered at the
City Hall.
Oscar Elsas said to The Georgian
Wednesday afternoon that the trouble
was not as serious as had been paint
ed by the men on strike. He declared
that many had returned since yes
/ terday and that at the most, not more
than $50 employees were out.
Mr.. Elsas said a committee of four
and waited on him in the morning
with a renewal of the demand that
en- employee who had been discharged
Tor an assault on an assistant SUI
lerintendent be reinstated
The cotton mill head declared en-
phatically that no other demands
were made and asserted that the
rule governing the payment of wages
mad been in effect for many years.

OVER PREAS
At TECH
Star Athletes Temporary Suspen-
sion Threatens to Develop
Startling Countercharges.

Italy has been rocked by an erup-
| ton from the crater of Vesuvius San
Francisco has been shaken by an
earthquake, and just now an explo-
sion in the camps Of Georgia and
Tech football teams is impending that
is likely to terminate in the grandest
little piece of gridiron scandal tina t
the South has ever heard.
Jim Preas, noted for three or four
years as the greatest schoolboy ath-
lete in the South, is the keystone
around which scandal is being con-
! structed. Young Preas entered Tech
this fall, and was looked upon as a
| most valuable backf1eld candidate.
He was making rapid progress under
the tuition of Coach Heisman, but he
has been knocked off temporarily"
by the Tech faculty.
Charges have been made against
Preas that he is a professional He
Is said to have accepted fulton at
Bingham Military School, of Ashe-
vile, N. c., in return for which he
gave the school his athletic qualifi-
cations.
Tech Men Accuse Georgia.
And Tech men claim that Georgia
men were responsible for these
charges. In turn Tech alumni declare
they will unearth professionalism
team, claiming they very easily can
prove that there are players on the
Athens eleven who have taken money
for athletics before they went to
Georgia or during their vacations.
A number of prominent Tech men
claim they can easily produce "the
goods" that Georgia's best lineman
PLAYED professional baseball in or
around Cordele and that this charge
will be their first volley if Georgia
doesn't keep its hands off"
The Tech admirers claim the charge
brought against Preas was instigated
by an ex-Georgia man who is now af-
filiated with the Bingham school as
an assistant coach. They declare this
coach tried to get Preas to go to
Georgia, but that the young athlete
preferred Tech. Hence, "sorehead,"
quotes the Techite.
Preas attended the Bingham school
for three or four years, where he es-
tablished a wonderful record in all
branches of sport for schoolboy.
Columns were penned about him, and
every college in the South was anx-
absolutely no doubt.
Chose Tech Out of Seven.
Preas admitted that representatives
from seven different schools visited
him at his home in Johnson City,
Tenn, trying to induce him to go to
their respective college or university.
He claims that finally 1t came down
to Tech and Virginia. His father, a
HOleu plS sltldD anu surgeon, wanted
Jim to go to Virginia to study medi-
cine, but the young man desired to
take an engineering course, and finally
decided 10 enter Tech.
Immediately, according to Tech
men. Georgia began TO look for
something on" Preas. 1t is the claim
Of the Technites that the ex- Georgian
now coaching at the Bingham school
induced President Bingham to make
an affidavit that Preas took an "ath-
letic course"
Pending an investigation of the
charges, Preas has been "benched"
by the Tech faculty. which intends to
probe the case thoroughly. Tech ad-
mirers claim that the charges will go
up in smoke" and that Preas will be
cleared and ready to play in the game
against Florida Saturday.

JOE HICKS
/ ] \ I T D
IN I v D
STATES
He Is the Man Who Went With
Fisher to Chief of
Police.

A search extending over two
States was begun by the police
Tuesday in an effort to locate
Joe Hicks, companion of Ira w.
Fisher Hicks is the man who
accompanied Fisher to the of.
fee of Chief of Police Bodeker
in Birmingham, when Fisher
made his weird but quickly dis
! credited accusation of the MUIR
der Of Mary Phagan against j.
G. Shirley, of No. 800 Marietta
street, Atlanta.
Chief of Detectives Lanford and
Charles ]. Graham, attorney for Shir-
ley, believe that they will have dis
closed the deeply laid plot against
Shirley, If such a plot actually has
existed, when they have forced Hicks
to talk and when they have grilled
Fisher In sober condition. Threats
were made yesterday that two prom
fnent Atlantans might be arrested II
any basis were found for belief in the
plot theory. Later it was said that
a searching investigation was being
made of the possibility that a man
still higher up was the moving spirit
in a diabolical scheme to fasten ths
crime on an innocent man,
Graham was undecided Tuesday as
to whether Fishers sensational story
was merely the vaporings of dis
ordered and crazy intellect or the out
cropping of genuine conspiracy thai
had gone wrong through the inabil-
ity of Fisher to tell a convincing story.
Il think we will know all when
we find this man Hicks, who Fisher
says was his constant companion in
Parksville, and later in Birmingham"
said Graham. Hicks played a mys-
FERROUS part in the affair. Fisher
himself admitted that Hicks did most
Of the talking when they went to the
office of Chief Bodeker. Hicks ap-
pears to have told most of the story
and Fisher merely corroborated it.
There also is the possibility that
Hicks suggested the story to Fisher
from day to day, and finally built up
in Fishers mind the structure of the
ridiculous tale he has told in Bir-
mingham and here in Atlanta, a story
which was startling enough as a sim
pie and direct accusation, but which
broke down the instant the man was
forced to give any alleged details.
RlackmaiI Is Suggested.
I'VE are working on several pos
siblities. One is that there was a
conspiracy against Shirley. II there
was such plot 1t may have been
engineered alone by Fisher. Hicks
may have been a party to 1t. In this
case 1t was simple blackmail.
There also is the possibility that
Fisher or Fisher and Hicks were
merely tools in a conspiracy and that
the real .conspirators are men higher
have a sensation the like OF which 1t
has not experienced in years. On the
other hand, the whole story may be
simply the rawlings of drunken and
besotted mind. Fishers own relatives
say that he was an extraordinary liar
when in his cups.
Ordinary conditions were reversed
