News that the railroad brother
hoods had rejected arbitration and
would lay their case in the hands OF
the Administration came after the
close Of the market. 1t probably
would not have produced any sensa-
tional effect, possibly none at all.
One thing we do understand in this
country is politics. There are no
amateurs. The brotherhoods, the
railways and the Administration re-
late the controversy to politics from
three points of view. 1t has the
form of play. First, the railroads
and the brotherhoods come to an inn
passe. Then the brotherhoods are
persuaded to open their minds to
mediation. The mediators come on
from Washington. They propose
arbitration. This the brotherhoOds
reject. The next step is to take it
Up directly with the Administration,
which is desirable to all parties for
different reasons. There will be a
compromise. The Administration
will get the credit FOR having avert
ed a strike. The brotherhoods will
get the least they can afford to take
after all their buster. The railways
will have involved the Administra-
ton directly in a continuing respon-
sibility for the higher wage cost of
producing transportation. When
next they 60 before the Interstate
Commerce Commission with an APP
plication for higher rates they will
be able to point to the increased pay
roll and say: 1--WE had no control Of
that. The government obliged us"
And this will go on and on, no doubt,
until the price of transportation to
the consumer has advanced enough
to make him conscious of it.

LONGSHOREMEN STRIKE
is ON AT SAVANNAH

Savannah, Ga, Nov. 17.-Eieht
hundred members of the Inter
national Longshoremen's Asso-
citation in Savannah have quit
their jobs on the ground that their
working agreement has been bro
ken by one of the foremen of the
Atlantic and Gulf Shipping Co.
They claim they have not struck,
but were forced to quit work
when their scale of pay was first
raised and then cut after an hour
and half of work. The longshore-
men recently struck for an in
crease in pay from seventeen and
halt to twenty cents an hour.
This increase was granted, they
claim, but an hour and a half at
ter they returned to work they
were informed that they would
have to work for the former wa
geS. The men now demand writ
ten contract granting them zoe an
hour.

SHIP EXEMPTION AMEND
MENT DEFEATED

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 19-That the
voters of Georgia know what they
are doing when they vote on CON
stltutlonal amendments is shown
by the probable defeat of the pro-
pressed amendment cxempting
ships from taxation, which, with
only four counties remaining to
be heard from, was voted down
by a majority of 2,275 votes.
Constitutional amendments are
usually ratified by the people,
which has given the impression in
some quarters that the people
vote on these questions without
giving them any particular at
tentlon or thought, merely taking
for granted that a proposition
which can get a tWo-thirds ma
Jority in both the house and SEN
ate must be safe and sound. But
the vote on the ship exemption
amendment demonstrates, on the
contrary, that the people do not
ratlty every amendment referred
to them. If the legislature hap
pens to pass an amendment which
the people don't like, they nail it
on election day.
Much attention has been given
to the ship exemption amendment
by the newspapers, a. good many
over the state having editorially
advised their readers to vote
against it.
The four other constitutional
amendments submitted at the
same ime were ratified, these be-
ing:
An amendment authorizing the
legislature to abolish the fees of
solicitor-generals; an amendment
authorizing the counties of Clark,
Floyd and Sumter to increase the
pay of their superior court jud-
ges; a new county amendment !;
and an amendment harmonizing
the jurisdiction of the supreme
court and court of apepals.

TWO FOR PADON FOR DIR.
McNAUGHTON

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 1S.-The
Georgia Prison Commission to-
day sent to Governor Nat Harris
a divided recommendation in the
case of the application of DR.. w.
J. McNaughton. The endorsement
IN the record is as follows:
The prison commission having
under consideration the above
stated application, reaffirm their
recommendation made to Govern
or olaton, two favoring pardon
and recommending the same, and
one recommending communication
to life imprisonment. We see no
reason for changing our former
recommendations" Messrs. Il. Z.
Dawson and +. L. Rainey recon-
mended a pardon and Judge Pat
terson declined to recommend
pardon. The application passed
upon today is the only one in
when a prayer tor pardon has
been made This case, with such
others as come from the commits
sion for this month, will probably
be handled by the governor at the
end of the month, on the regular
day for disposing of such matters.
Announcement from the office
OF the prison commission today is
that they will dispose next week
of the pending application for par
don of Mrs. Edna Perkins God
bee, serving life sentence for the
murder of her ex-hubsand. That
case was argued some months
ago, and additional argument was
made about a month ago. 1t is the
intention of the prison commits
sion, it is stated, to clear away
as many OF the large. volume of
pending cases as possible before
the end of the year,

WHAT NEXT

Atlanta, Ga, November 49,
Had you noticed that the women
folks are not as careless with hair
pins nowadays? And the reason?
Because the cost of hair pins has
been hit by the war, same as the
cost of meat and bread and shoes
and clothes and all other necces
sites of life.

The interest aroused in Koyetsu by the
