1000 UNITE
IN FIGHT ON
NUISANCE
"SimiIar Conditions Remedied
in Other Cities" Declare
Leaders in Campaign.

The City Federation OF Women s
Clubs. representing 1000 clubwomen
of Atlanta, inaugurated fight
against the smoke nuisance Tuesday
at a mass meeting at tSe Woman $
Club building on Baker street.
Resolutions were adopted urging
residents of the city to cooperate
with the city officials, and impressing
upon the City Council the need of APP
propriating additional funds to en-
able the Smoke and Gas Commission
TO carry on vigorous campaign for
the abatement of the nuisance
A copy of the resolutions will be
transmitted to the City Council. They
were prepared and presented to the
meeting by the special committee
named by Mrs. Samuel Lumpkin
president of the federation, OF which
'-aS@zx-ke H. Wigs is chairman, and
are as follows:
Action Deemed Necessary.
Whereas. the smoke conditions in
Atlanta have reached the point where
we deem 1t necessary to take active
steps toward the abatement OF said
evil, and to this end we ask the ear
nest aid and co-opera ton of all peo-
pie interested in the welfare and
progress of our beloved city, and
Whereas, the Smoke and Gas
Commission las made considera bic
progress, we are convinced that with
a more complete cooperation from
every resident we will reach a more
effective solution OF thts grave prob
lem. and
Whereas. we find that other cities
have operated under ordinances con-
trolling the emission of dense. black
smoke and have greatly improved the
conditions in those cities and
Whereas. the Government has
tested the fuels of this section and
found them to be equal, if not better,
than any mined in the United States,
except in the Virginia and West Vir-
ginia coal fields, the statement that
Atlanta can not abate the present
smoke conditions does not seem to be
correct, and
Pledge United Effort.
"Whereas, we are not ready to yield
to any other city the honor Of having
Il wiser municipality or more intel
ligent citizenship than Atlanta, and
upon these facts we base a belief that
the best that has been done by any
other city will be accomplished by
ours, therefore be It
Resolved, by the City Federation.
That we give our efforts individually
and as an organization, in co-opera-
ton with the City Council and the
Smoke and Gas Commission appoint
ed by the Honorable Mayor in the
furtherance OF satisfactory solution
Of the problem that is so vitality af-
fecting the health, comfort, beauty
and economic conditions of our city.

MINORITY TO FIGHT
LAKE SHORE DEAL
Offer Involving New York Gen.
trail Consolidation Likely
to Be Rejected.
WANT CASH; NOT STOCK
Henry Evans Leads Sharehold.
ers in Opposing Terms Of
the Exchange.

II Is believed that the largest minority
holders of Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern Railway Company stock will re-
fuse an offer which the New York Gen.
trail has made or Is about to make Of an
exchange Of their Lake Shore stock for
the new stock OF the consolidated New
York Central and Lake Shore properties
which is In process OF formation.
President Smith OF the New York Gen.
eral announced Sunday that plans for
the consolidation were actively under way
by reason of having received consents
From more than rs per cent. OF the New
York Central-Lake Shore collateral bonds.
Only $4,l77.300 OF the Lake Shore total
capitalization Of $40. l66.5O0 10 held out
side Of the New York Central. and IL Is
on the disposition OF these shares that
there exists a wide difference of opinion
between the owners and the Central as
Go value. The long continued disagree
'nent between the two appears likely now
90 end In court action.
Henry Evans, president of the CONT
mental Insurance Company, is one Of tho
leading holders Of Lake Shore stock now
I'm private hands. An appraisal recently
made by bankers who hold the stock
placed Its value at 1927 q share, Its
market price for = few shares last year
being $500. Tho Central has been un-
willing TO pay anything like this appraised
price for the minority stock.
Mr.. Evans would not reply yesterday
when asked about the report that the Cen.
trAl had offered the minority stockholders
IN exchange In new consolidated company
stock at the rate OF four shares Of new for
one Of old. He also refused 10 discuss the
understanding In Wall Street that the
minority holders will continue to refuse an
exchange of stock and will hold out for q
cash settlement.
The Central as the holder OF nine-tenths
OF the Lake Shore stock can proceed to the
consolidation without Interruption. IL is
understood, notwithstanding the refusal Of
the minority to accept a ratio of exchange.
The minority 1t is held. however. will take
the matter Of getting a cash price for their
holdings to court, under a provision OF an
Ohio law which enables minority holders
10 secure an appraisal OF the value OF
their stock In "A court proceeding.
Henry Evans and former Judge William
N. Cohen, who as attorney for the Harlem
minority stockholders is the leader of that
fight against the New York Central, held
q long conference yesterday at the offices
Of the Continental Insurance Company. II
IS understood that Mr.. Evans Is leading
the movement Of the minority stockholders
OF Lake Shore In the dealings with the
New York Central authorities.

Franklin Leonard. secretary Of tho
