NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-Renewed eff

general strike of all trade unions in this
city and Westchester county, which be-
gan Yesterday to enforce the demands of
the striking street railway men. Only
part of the total number of organized

upward of $4,000. The maximum fig

One of the most important of these or.

1000 brewery workers will strike today
but 1t is stated that these men have a
trade agreement which permits them to
have a holiday at this season every

Members of the United Hebrew trades,

Whether they will remain out on strike

Today is the beginning of the thirG
week of the strike Of the street car men.
The traction companies assert their
service is improving daily. Union lead
ers however, see a possibility that the
motormen of the subway and elevated
lines may join the strike as result of
grievances presented in their behalf by
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
Sineers.
Word has been received from Mars

tional Typographical union, that he has

executive committee of that organization
will not sanction a strike and that their

-FOUR CANDIDATES MAY
. RUN FOR SUPREME COURT
HarWeII, Bloodworth
and Stephens Considered
Probabilities

There will probably be four candidates
for the place on the state supreme court,
made vacant by the recent death of As
sociate Justice Joseph Henry Lumpl<in.
and which is being temporarily filled
by Judge S. Price Gilbert, of Columbus,
who was appointed by Governor Harris.
The race will be decided in the regular
November election.
Judge Gilbert will undoubtedly run,
and it is expected that he will be OPP
posed by Judge Frank Harwell, of La
Grange; Q. II. E. Bloodworth, of For
syth, and Alex ". Stephens, of Atlanta.
An effort was made by the Dorsey
leaders at the Macon convention to give
the nomination for the Judgeship to
Judge Harwell, who was in charge of
the Dorsey headquarters during the gu
bernatorial campaign.
Such strong opposition developed TO
this move that Judge Harwell, just a
short time before the convention adj
journed, got the floor and made an ad-
dress in which he announced that he
wished to withdraw his name from con-
sideration by the convention.
The opposition to the plan to compel
a nomination of Judge Harwell insisted
that if the plan was carried out it
would result in considerable embarrass-
ment to Mr.. Dorsey and his advisers.
They pointed out that Mr.. Dorsey, in
his own campaign platform, had taken
the position that nominations should be
made by the people voting and not by
a convention.
On the top of such a platform declara-
ton, ii was argued, the forced nomina-
ton of Judge HarwelI could only be
construed as the paying ~ political
debt by Mr.. Dorsey and a. absolute
disregard by the Dorsey leaders of Mr..
Dorseys campaign platform.
Messrs. BloOdworth and Stephens. who
it is expected will be in the judgeship
race, were the two leading candidates
for the state court of appeals in the
recent primary, but lost out IN the con-
vention. Their friends are insisting
that because of the treatment accorded
them by the convention they should
run for the supreme court place.

KING CONSTANTINE

Associated Press States Posi-
lively That Constantine Has.
Decided on an Immediate
Declaration of War
CRY Associated Press.l

ATHENS, Greece, wednesday, Sept.
27.-(Via London, September 2S.)-The
Associated Press is in position to state
positively that King Constantine decided
this morning in favor of an immediate
declaration of war on Bulgaria.
Reports that a general mobilization
has been ordered are premature. After
the session of the council of minister's
at the palace this morning Premier
Kalogeropolous hastily called a cabinet
meeting. The premier declared the gov
eminent was giving the fullest consid-
Grafton to the situation and there might
be addressed to Bulgaria note of such,
character that mobilization would log.
ically follow.
Later it developed that the king had
decided on a declaration of war against
Bulgaria
The decision has not yet been an-
nounced publicly, as numerous details
remain TO be worked out They include
an ultimatum to Bulgaria demanding
instant evacuation of all Greek Mace
donna, as well as plans for mobilization
under the difficult conditions presented
by the occupation of Greek territory
by the entente forces.
The king this morning discussed the
mobilization problem infinitely with
General Mosothopoulos, chief of staff.
and General Yanakitsas, FORMER minis
ter of war. He probably will preside
personally over a meeting of the crown
council at noon tomorrow.
Even the departure of former Pre-
mier Venizelos from Athens created
nothing like the suppressed excitement
evident everywhere this afternoon. The
people feel that their long period of ex-
pectancy is about to end, and the pros
pect of war with the Bulgarians appar-
emily is welcome

SAVED FARMERS
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
IN HALTING RAIL STRIKE
Frank G, 0deII, Agricultural
Economist, Shows H 0 W
Heavy Loss and Paralysis of
Market Was Averted
NY RALPH SMITH.

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-One hundred
million dollars direct loss and paralysis
of the market is what the farmers and
fruit growers of the United States would
have suffered had not President Wilson
averted the railroad strike is the state
ment made today by Frank G. Odell, ag-
ricultural economist and formerly agri'
cultural statistician for the state of Ne
braska. Mr.. Odell said:
THE certified returns made by the
226 railroads of the United States to the
interstate commerce commission show
that for the month of April, 1916, their
combined net earnings were seventy
eight million dollars more than for
April, 1915. The railroads plea of pow
erty is being used by the Republicans to
scare the farmer into believing that ne
would have to pay the cost of increased
freight rates if the eight-hour day
should compel the roads to pay more in
wages. The Republicans are not calling
attention to the fact that farmers would
have lost more by one week of strike
conditions than their alleged increase
of expense would have cost the railroads
in five years.
INSTANCE is CITED.
Take this single instance continued
Mr.. Odell The Seattle Times prints
this report of the fruit crop of the ia
nous Yakima valley in Washington:
NORTH YAKIM, Sept 1S.-It is
now practically certain that the 1916
fruit crop Of the Yakima Valley will
be 10000 carloads, 1000 carloads
more than ever before. The total
may even run over that figure. High
prices have encouraged the grow
ers to pick and ship all of their
fruit and as ii was exceptionally
clean this year very little has gone
or will go to waste
A return of 100000 for those
10000 carloads of fruit seems now
assured as few doubt apples will
average the 95 cents per box neces-
sary to make this total
"A general railroad strike would have
prevented the moving of this crop,
with a resultant loss of at least SO per
cent. or a total loss Of three million
dollars to the Yakima fruit growers.
This" Mr.. Odell continued, "is indi-
cative. of a similar and perhaps larger
loss in the famous fruit growing dis
tricts of Wenatchee and the Okanogan,
in Washington: Hold river, Rogue riv-
er, and Medford, in Oregon; the Bitter
Root valley, in Montana; the lewiston
Clarkson district in southwestern Wash
ington and Idaho; the beg melon crop
of Colorado and it's equally important
apple and peach crop, and the immense
fruit crop of California.
VALUE OF CROPS.
'In 1915 the three principal fruit
crops of Missouri, apples, peaches and
pears, had a farm value of over S15,-
OO0 900; the same crops in Kansas were
worth nearly 100000; in Iowa, &c.
100000. and in Nebraska nearly $4,000
900. This does not take into account
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1916-09-29

early small fruits, grapes or melons, A
25 per cent loss on these values would
have been small in the case of a rail-
road strike.
THE certain losses which would have
fallen on the growers in these districts
alone would have totalled many mill
lions. The disORganization of markets
which would have followed a strike
would have been felt disastrously in
every item of this years farm prOduc-
ton.
81 wish" said Mr. OdeIl, that the
farmers of the country could realize
that it is Woodrow Wilson who saved
them from this incalculable loss, and
that Charles r. Hughes, who as COVER
nor of New York vetoes practically all
appropriations that were vitality need
ed for rural interests, is cOndemning
President Wilson for preventing a ma
tion-wide industrial panic and ruin of
the farmers market"
