AID CLEAN UP
CAMP A|CN
Federation Joins Civic Bodies in
Plan to Dress Atlanta in
Best for Shriners.

The Chamber of Commerce and the
Atlanta City Federation of Women's
Club enlisted Friday in the movement
to "clean up" Atlanta before the
Shriners' Conclave. Both organiza-
tons issued through Industrial Sec
rotary Leahy, of the Chamber, state
ments offering to cooperate with the
Shriners and civic bodies in the eff
forts to put the city in a presentable
condition.
B. M. Grant, named by President VII
kinson, of the Chamber Of Commerce,
as chairman of the street committee,
Friday announced the following
members Of his committee: F. o..
Foster, J. B. Campbell, D. w Var
brough, Fred A. Hoyt, r. S. Vessels,
r. t. Rhorer and John p. Kearney.
This committee will have active
charge Of the preparations for the
Clean up" and will endeavor to In
terest business men and citizens gen.
orally in the movement.
Meeting Is Called.
Mr.. Grant has called a meeting OF
his committee for next Monday at IL
O'Clock, in the rooms of the Cham
Der of Commerce, when plans will be
outlined for the campaign
Mrs. Samuel LumplIin, president OF
the City Federation of Women's
Clubs. has notified Mr.. Leahy that
that organization will cooperate in
the movement The Federation has
selected Saturday, April IS, as Off
cial school children's cleanup day,
when the children of the city will
work under the supervision of mem
bers of the Federation. 1t is probable
that the same arrangements will be
made that prevailed last year, when
children and groups of children were
given prizes.
Citizens Urged to Help.
Every citizen of Atlanta will be
urged to get busy and have the city
put on her best garments to greet
the Shriners," said Mr.. Leahy Friday,
EVERY citizen will be urged to do
something to assist in this great
movement. The use of the paint
brush. the removal of trash and de-
hris, will be urged; in fact, nothing
will be left undone that would i'm
prove the appearance of the city.
Not only is it important that all
of the private buildings be put in
spotIess shape, but it is an absolute
necessity that the public buildings be
cleaned up. AS has been announced,
the City Council has appropriated
sufficient money to put the City Hall
in order, and it is hoped that SINH
lar action will be taken by others in
control of public buildings.
The merchants viii be requested
by the Chamber of Commerce to
place posters in their windows an
nouncing the cleanup campaign, and
it is probable that the moving pic
ture houses will be asked to run
slides, asking every citizen to coop
crate"

T. w. Taylor was elected business
agent of the Painters District Council
and assumed his duties Tuesday of this
week. He succeeds Sam s. Forrest, re-
signed. Al Strangman, the other candi-
date, withdrew before referendum vote
could be taken and Taylor, who is a
member of No. 10, was declared elected
by the Council
Approximately 1000 union painters OF
the bay counties around San Francisco
went on strike Wednesday of last week
following the refusal of the Master
Painters Association to grant an in
crease in wages from $3.50 to S. per
day. 1t was stated at union headquar-
ters that rs contractors, employing more
than 1000 journeymen painters, have
conceded the wage increase and their en-
ployes remained at work. The reason
given by the Master Painters Associa-
tion for refusing to increase the wages
of journeymen painters at this time is
that the agreement with the unions call
ing for daily wage of $3.50 per day
will not expire until next September.
The strike has received the sanction OF
the international Union.
