GLOBE. Oct 10-The United States
industrial commission will not conclude
its inquiry into conditions in the cop
per mines here before the end of the
week. according to present indications
The sessions may end before that time
but Secretary Wilson tonight said he
was anxious to remain in the district
until every interest had been given a
full and complete hearing.
The commission has concluded the
hearing devoted exclusively to the
strikers and at o'clock today began
the second hearing devoted to the men
now working in the mines but who are
not all union men. The mine operators
are due to follow before the board and
then the business men. Thus far all
sessions have been held behind closed
doors. and the question of pubic
hearing is under consideration. An APP.
parently we'll founded report today de
clared the members of the unions had
offered to return to work in the mines,
leaving a settlement of the strike tfou-
BILE to Secretary Wilson and providing
the mine operators would be satlstied
with his decision. Secretary Wilson,
asked about this, declared he had moth
ing to say at this time

GLOBE MIAMI MINERS PLACE
DISPUTE In HANDS OF The
PRESIDENTS LABOR COMMISSION
SPECIAL to The Republican,

GLOBE, Oct 10.-The strikers in the
Globe Miami copper district closed the
statement of their case before the pres
ldents S labor commission today. Their
maj word was that they unqualifiedly
placed the entire dispute in the hands
of the presidents commission for arbi-
tration and that if the operators would
similarly concede to such arbitration
the men would be willing to go back to
the mines Immediately and continue
there pending arbitration.
The commission today also heard
other labor interests in the district in
cluding a large number of men chosen
from among those who are now work
ing in the mines and committees chosen
by the other crafts in the two cities
Walter B. Nash. chairman OF the
board of supervisors of the district who
endeavored to obtain an adjustment of
one of the points in dispute at the out
break of the strike in July, was called
before the commissian and stated what
had occurred during the period of his
participation.
Secretary of Labor Wilson and other
members of the commission are con-
tinuously hammering home the fact
that industrial peace is needed and
speedily needed in this district, not
merely because of the interests of the
companies and their Workmen, but pri-
marty because of the copper require
ments of the United States. Secretary
Wilson continuously impresses upon
all parties who appear before the COM
mission the country's vital need for
copper, not only for its munitions in
the war but also for making of articles
indirectly required in the prosecution
of the war and in industries closely
allied to the munitions Industries.
The commission is also emphasizing
the fact that this comes as a personal
message from President Wilson and
that he has directed the commission to
make this the basis of all of. its ac
tivities on it's western trip.
The method so adopted by the COM
mission is, it is felt locally rapidly bear
ing fruit Not only did the spirit of
Conciliation completely win the strikers
after their two and one-half days of
hearings before the commission, but it
is also rapidly spreading among the
rank and file of all other workmen in
the country.
The mine operators also have the
nations needs in mind and state they
will approach this problem from that
viewpoint The operators will be hearc
tomorrow, and it is probable the COM
mission will then also hear represent
atives of business interests Of Globe
and Miami and other public men, in
cluding the editors of local newspa-
pers, ministers and persons who have
similar opportunities for molding local
public opinion.

Mrs. Sawyer to Assist
Her Husband With
Demonstration Work.

My whole time has been given to
club work and other matters pertain
tanning to the agents business for the
past three months, but for the next
month or more / hope to be able to
give some practical directions in the
way of saving food that would other
wise be lost. Mrs. Sawyer will ac-
company me and will be pleased to
assist in the work of canning such
vegetables as are ready for this
stage. would suggest that ladies'
in different communities get to-
gether and agree upon some time
when she may take them in clusters
and show and help in this work. She
will be able thus to render much val
liable aid in this work. In canning
vegetables it is well worth while to
have the very best processes used
that the food may keep well, and that
nothing shall be lost. Mrs. Sawyer
is spending some time this week with
the Fulton County demonstration a
gent, getting whatever new ideas
there are to be had in canning. Let
me help you along with this work as
well as with your sick horses and
cows, and with the corn club boys.
Let's save every item of food that
Cobb county produces that none may
go hungry next winter

R|LL To ESTABLISH
FARM MARKET
BIZ R EAU
Representative Cheney Has
Plan to Protect Farmer
And Consumer.

Messrs. John P. Cheney, of Cobb
County. and Chas. E. Stewart, of
Coffee County, have introduced in
tho House a bill to create a Farm
Market Bureau.
The great movement now on foot
~ Georgia towards a Investigation
If crops. according to the opinion of
Messrs. Cheney and Stewart, calls for
some kind of marketing system to
enable those who are diversifying to
dispose of their crops and at the
same time cause the consumer to be
benefited by being able to purchase
the necessities of life at more rea-
sonable prices.
Mr.. Cheney says:
1.-THE bill to create a Farm Market
Bureau is far-reaching in it's posi-
biities for good not only in aiding
the producer to market his produce
at reasonable prices, but it will, by
bringing about an equal distribution
of food products, enable the con-
sumer in our towns and cities to buy
them at more reasonable prices.
1T will perform the same service
except upon a far larger scale, for
the people of Georgia than the or
ganization known as the Georgia
Fruit Excange.'i Everybody knows
what this exchange has accomplished
for the Fruit Growers of the State.
In my opinion the farmers and la
boring people of Georgia are going
to get in behind this bill as soon as
they realize the present necessity for
the law and are going to demand it's
passage by the legislature.
IF the farmer wants this Bureau
established l cant see why they
shouldn't have it so far as the cost
Of its maintenance is concerned for
they are the ones who are to pay ev-
very cent of it, the funds being de-
rived from fees for fertilizer inspec-
ton, oil and gasolene inspection, etc.
Mr.. Stewart and l expect to work
hard for the passage of this bill for
we believe there is at present an
urgent necessity for it."

PLAN TO ORGANIZE
A HOME GUARD
FOR MARIETTA
Men Not Eligible to Draft
Want to do Their
Bit" For War.

A number of citizens have Joined
in asking that a mass meeting be
held with view to organizing a
Home Guard for Marietta, among
those who are not subject to draft
in the army.
This is an excellent suggestion as
no one ever knows what a day will
bring forth. Other cities all over the
country are organizing them and they
will prove a great benefit to the
country as it will save using the mi
htia to guard property that citizens
could protect.
The purpose of the organization
will be outlined at this meeting and
everyone interested is invited to
come. The petition calling for the
meeting is as follows:
eve, the undersigned, respectfully
suggest that meeting be held at the
court house Monday evening, July
10th, at 8 P. M, for the purpose of
organizing a battalion of Home
Guards. Chose subject to draft
not eligible.)
