NUISANCE
Mass Meeting to Send Committee
to Body Urging Action-LiveIy
Fight Is Expected.

Nearly 1000 women of Atlanta were
enlisted in the war against the
Smoke nuisance" Thursday when
the City Federation of Womens
| Clubs, issued a call for a mass meet
| ing at the Woman's Club next Tues
day morning at 1890 O'Clock
The purpose of the meeting, q set
| forth by Mrs. Lumpkin, is to discuss
ways and means for abating the nui-
sance and to plan a campaign through
/ which it is hoped to abolish the pail
of smoke that hangs over Atlanta
Resolutions calling upon the City
| Council to take steps to abate the
I nuisance will be adopted, and COM
mittee will be named by Mrs. Lump
kin, following the discussion, to petit
ton the Council to reduce the twelve
minute limit in the present ordinance
to six minutes.
This committee will be instructed
/ to file its petition at once, in order
that something can be done as soon as
possible.
May Be Election Issue.
1t was reported that in the event
the City Council refuses to take ac-
ton on the petition, the question will
be made an issue at the next cleo
ton, with the clubwomen arrayed
against those members who oppose
them III the battle against the smoke
nuisance. None of the club leaders,
however. would affirm this re1ort
I'VE think it probable that the
Council will see its way to do som
thing about the smoke nuisance" said
one OF them Thursday. There is no
question that the clouds of smoke
that hang over Atlanta are a disgrace
to the city and should be abated. and
it seems to be within the power If
thu City Council to remedy condi-
tons.
I'VE shall ask in our petition that
the twelve minutes during which
smoke is allowed to belch from the
chimneys of factories be reduced 10
six. OF course, if Council ignores our
petition, the fight v be on, and we
must adopt other means to relieve
Atlanta OF the disgrace of being the
smokiest city in the South"
Federation Yields Power.
The City Federation of Women's
! Clubs is one of the most powerful or
ganizations in the city, and its en-
listment in the fight has given new
heart to those who have been trying
! for several years to induce Council
to pass a smoke ordinance" that
would relieve conditions. Between IS
| and 100 organizations OF women are
1 affiliated with the City Federation,
with more than 1000 members. COM
prising some Of the most influential
and most progressive women of the
city
Mrs Lumpkin has issued a person
al invitation to every member of
every club that Is affiliated with the
Federation to attend the mass meet
ing and take part in the discussion,
and has also issued an invitation to
all citizens who are in sympathy with
the fight against the smoke nuisance
20 be present.
The arrangements for the mass
meeting are in charge of committee
composed of Mrs. Herbert Wigs,
chairman; Mrs. Joseph Moody, Mrs.

What the policy of the organiza-

They do not hesitate to say, though.
that one of the principle motives to
inspire the organization is fear of

by continued agitations by the Men

The movement is not the same as

SLUGC|NC Of
WOMAN IS
MYSTERY
Mrs. R. F. Brown Attacked on
Street by Unidentified Man
Who FIees in Darkness.

Detectives Thursday were trying to
clear the mystery yelling an attack
made on Mrs. r. F. Brown, No. S9S
East Fair street, wife of a Decatur
street merchant, who has an ugly
cash on the back of her head from
the blow OF a bludgeon in the hands
Of an unidentified assailant.
Mrs. Brown was attacked as she
was on her way to a meeting of a
Rebekah lodge. the woman's auxiliary
of the Odd Fellows, of which she is a
member.
She left home alone. and as she
was walking along Hunter street,
near King, an unidentified man, small
of stature, darted from the shadows
behind her and. without word,
dealt her a stunning blow on the
head.
Cries Rout Assailant.
DaZed, but retaining her senses. the
stricken woman screamed for help.
AS he delivered the blow the assail-
ant turned and fed, passing into King
street, and quickly disappearing in the
darkness. Persons in the neighbor-
hood, attracted by the cries, hurried
from their homes, and found Mrs.
Brown on the sidewalk bleeding from
the wound in her head.
A physician was summoned, and in
the meantime a hunt for the assail-
ant was begun.
No reason can be assigned for the
mysterious assault. Mrs. Brown is as
much at a loss to understand ii as
are the police. She told the officers
she could not understand it, unless it
was that the assailant sought to rob
her or else mistook her for someone
else
The scene of the attack is but a
short distance from the Brown home.
Mrs. Brown had gone before to meet
ings of her lodge, and had never
been molested
Came Up From Behind.
II had no idea that l was being fol-
lowed, or that anyone was near me,
until that man suddenly came up from
behind and struck me in the head, "
Mrs. Brown told the detectives.
The instrument with which Mrs.
Brown was struck has not been found,
despite a thorough search of the vi
cinity The blow was dealt with such
force as to be heard in a nearby
house.

Merchant Marine Tangle.

There IS curious paradox in the conflicting egs-
atiye treatment of the merchant marine at the pres
ent time The fact that United States registered
sells must be operated at greater cost than those of
any other nation is well-known and in order to
overcome this difficulty in the way of operating
American vessels Congress- in the act approved last
week. amending the so-called Panama Canal act.
especially provided That the President of the United
States is hereby authorized, whenever in his discre-
tion the needs of foreign commerce may require. to
suspend by order, far and for such length OF time
as he may deem desirable the provisions of law pre-
scrbing that all the watch officers of vessels of the
United States registered for foreign trade shall be
citizens of the United States" and furthermore 'Un-
der like conditions and in like manner and to like
extent, the President of the United States is also
hereby authorized to suspend the provisions of the
law requiring survey, inspection and measurement bv
officers of the United States of foreignbut vessels
admitted to American registry under this act"
1t will be that the purpose of this recent art
of Congress is to reduce the burden upon American
ship owners in the of the operation of their
vessels and in measure to bring about an equality
in such measurement with the vessels of other ma
tions
Almost in the same breath however the House
of Representatives Tuesday gave its approval to the
bill TO promote the welfare of American seamen in
the merchant marine and United States" Whatever
may be said of the merits of this BILL it gives greatly
increased privileges to the seamen employed on
American registered vessels and in so doing directly
and TO great degree increases the cost of operation
OF United States vessels.
The act as amended last week and the bill now
pending in the Senate should be made to conform
or the entire object of legislation designed to build
up an American merchant marine will be defeated.
