RAILROAD men ARE
WANDERERS ON THE
face OF THE EARTH
AND DESERVE THE RIGHT TO
ENJOY THAT WHICH OTHERS
DO. DECLARED GARRETTs0N
(By Associated Press. J

Washington, Aug. 31.-"Railroad
men are wanderers on the face Of
the earth and merely demand the
human right to enjoy some things
other men enjoy" A. B. Garrettson
told the Senate Interstate Commerce
committee at a hearing on the Will
SON legislative program. He said the
Brotherhoods believed that disputes
should be settled between the em.
ployes and employers but they were
willing to waive that If Congress
could settle the differences. He said
the men are willing to accept an
eight hour law with ten hour pay,
if assured, pending an inquiry. They
won't accept compulsory arbitration.
Senator Newlands declared legis-
lation did not deny any man the
the right to quit his job. A number
of railroad presidents and managers
were present.

men, SAYS CARRETTS0N
ANOTHER STORM MAY BE :.
HEADED TOWARD MIAMI

Miami, Aug. 31.-Perhaps that
piece of hurricane that hit Miami
last week was only a sort of appetiz-
er for the real one to follow, for
Weather Forecaster Gray this morn
ing issued warnings that another
blow was on way. or course 1t can
rot be predicted as yet where the
new hurricane will strike, but 1t was
reported this morning in the eastern
Caribbean sea, south of and not far
from Porto Rico. Caution has been
advised for all vessels navigating the
Caribbean east of jamaica.
The hurricane that came UP the
coast last week and which caused
heavy rains in Miami started in
practically the same place as the
new one, and Porto Rican points
were severely damaged at that time.
Available information is yet too mea
gre to estimate the probable course
of the disturbance which was dis
covered this morning, but local ship
ping circles have been cautioned to
be on the lookout fr the blow.

NO SHIPMENTS OF
GRAPEFRUIT FROM FLORIDA
GROVES BEFORE OCT. /
New York Packer }

Jacksonville, Aug. 30.-Accord-
ing to citrus fruit growers, grape
fruit shipments will not begin to
move from Florida until October, the
crop being somewhat later than
usual. The absence of bloom gener-
ally throughout the groves in Febru-
airy and early March gives promise
of a late crop.
September shipments ofcitrus
fruit from Florida have been light
since the adoption of the green fruit
law two years ago. Previous to that
time Dade county shipped several
carlads before October :. Though this
years crop is late. fruit in the lower
East Coast is showing color and is
said to be exceptionally fine.
Throughout several OF the most
important citrus sections OF the
State rain has fallen recently and
great attention has been given by
growers to spraying and fertilizing.
Florida growers are realizing more

BIG GUNS FOR DEFENSE
OF THE UNITED STATES

Washington, Aug. 31.--Army ord
rance experts are at work on do
signs for huge field howitzers, as
large or larger than the German AZ
centimetre guns which wrecked Bel
gian and French forts early in the
war. They will be of at least 16-
inch calibre, with a range of twelve
to fifteen miles, hurting a projectile
weighing more than ton, and car
rying q huge amount of high explo-
sive.
In addition to placing several Of
these memmoth weapons along the
coast line for mobile defense agaiDst
naval attack, army officials now are
considering the creation of special
regiment, equipped with six of tho
howitzers, to work as a unit of the
mobile army. The problem con
fronting the designers In that re-
gard is to distribute the enormous
weight Of the gun and carriage In
such way that it can be moved
ever any good road.
That difficulty is a determining
factor in American heavy artillery
designs. About few of the larg-
est cities we'll ballasted road which
would support the weight even
such a highway as the Boston Post
road, from Boston to New York, 1t is
said, has many sections SO lightly
built that the great weight would
crash through.
For the reasons 1t is planned to
build the new howitzer primarily for
transportation by rail on special
cars. The regiment would not be at
tached to any army corps, as is the
case with lighter artillery, but would
be directly under the orders Of the
general staff to be sent to a point
where IL was desired to blast q way
through an enemy's field works. 1t
is believed possible, however, that
the weight can be so distributed on
several carriages drawn by motor
tractors that 1t could be dragged
over any fairly well ballasted high
way.

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 31.-Nothwith-
standing the fact that Atlanta could
last thirty days with her food sup
plv cut OF by a nationwide railroad
strike, business men Of the city are
very much concerned over the posi-
bility of a general tie-up of the trsf-

The questions involved attracted
so little attention until the present
acute stage had been reached that
there has been a good deal Of con-
fusion as to Just what questions were
involved, but the press dispatches OF

Iantic business men and the public
generally with the serious efrect
which would follow a granting OF
the demands of the railroad brother
hoods.
Especially is the South concerned
in the outcome Of the negotiations
now in progress in Washington, for
this reason: Traffic density on south
ern railroads does not compare with
the enormous volume Of freight on
the great eastern trunk lines, and
vet southern railroads pay wage
scale the same as the largest systems
in the country. Hence the question
Of extension OF southern lines into
