INQUIRY Will
Be ENDED TODAY
tBy Associated Press. }


Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. 91.-The
federal mediation commission invest
igating the twin city labor situation
growing out Of the state public safe
ty commissions order against the
wearing of union buttons by street
car men, expected to conclude the
inquiry today and depart for Wash
ington tonight.
Officers of the Twin City Rapid
Transit company were given an OPP
portunity TO present their side Of the
controversy before the mediation
body today. They contend that in
denying further employment to sew
eraI hundred Minneapolis and st.
Paul car men who failed to abide by
the ruling barring union buttons
they were only conforming to the
safety commissions findings.
Secretary OF Labor Wilson, head of
the mediation commission indicated
that unless a satisfactory settlement
could be arranged no announcement
relative to the commissions findings
would he made until after a report
had been submitted to President
Wilson.
All sessions were held behind
closed doors, and reports that the
men had agreed to discard their
union emblems If reinstated and per-
mitted to maintain their union lack
ed confirmation.
Horace Lowry, president Of the
street car company, told the commits
sion that to reinstate the men would
necessitate the discharge of several
hundred men engaged to fill their
places and that he would not favor
such procedure. Later, however.
the commission asked union leaders
IL the men would be willing to return
TO work as individuals, without
wearing buttons, with the under
standing that there would be some
recognition of their union.

SPLENDID TALKS
FEW PEOPLE TO HEAR SOME OF
BEST INFORMATION EVER Of
FERED FARMERS.

Vocational training, home dairying,
the preserving and drying of fruits,
the builling of the soil lime moisture,
etc, were subjects that were handled
in most excellent manner by Pro-
fessor Wilson, Mr.. Mobley and Mrs.
HOWE at their demonstration Monday
and Tuesday at the Crisp county
court house. The work was of a very
high standard and should have been
heard by all the progressive farmers
and the boys and girls of the city
and county.
There were three periods each day
at which small crowds heard the
splendid lectures and saw the won
.1erful demonstrations of the ease
with which food can be preserved and
stored for winter.
Professor Wilson was especially
in his talks about agricul-
ture and stock raising as it should
be taught in connection with the
training of the boys and girls in the
schools.

LEADERS IN CONGRESS
ARE MAKING PLANS TO
QUIT WORK IN OCTOBER.

Washington, Sept. 17.-With most
all of the important legislation of the
session either enacted or about to be
disposed of, leaders in congress today
set about the task of carrying out
plans, tentatively fixed, for adjourn
ment early in October. President
Wilson has no new legislation to rec
ommend and is said to be ready to
have congress take a vacation.
The house has about finished its
part of the legislative program, but
prompt action by the senate is nee
essary to carry out the adjournment
plans. Only two big measures, the
soldiers and sailors insurance and
the 100000 war deficiency bill, re-
main to be passed by the senate, and
it is expected both will be expedited.
The deficiency bill, in the house,
probably will pass today.

PLENTY SPACE AT
PARK FOR FAIR
FAIR OFFICIALS HAVE LAID OUT
GROUNDS AND ARE MAKING
ROOM FOR BIG SHOW.

Space arrangements are about COM
pleted for as large a county fair as
can possibly be gotten together at the
baseball park October "a, rs, and 26.
Local fair officials were on the ground
yesterday laying out plans and these
are now being followed with great
: zeal and enthusiasm. The whole
park is to be converted into a show
ground of beauty and activity. The
buildings and grounds are in such
shape as to make it possible with a
small amount of work to be ready
for splendid show.
The railroads are now promising
The low rates for the three days in
order that people may come from a
distance. So far only the Seaboard
has failed to respond and it is thought
this line will join the others as soon
as it finds that arrangements have
been made to accommodate the fair
here. This will make il possible for
people in Cordele and over the coun-
ty to invite their friends and rela
tives back home for stay during
the fair. The coming of people who
are away will be considerable, the
railroads having made it possible for
cheap travel
Arrangements are being made for
attractions of very extensive kind
and these will be made enjoyable. A
number of free attractions of real
merit are scheduled.
The exhibits by both business
houses and by people of the county
having live stock, and farm products
will be indeed a credit in every way
if ona must judge from the number
already making inquiries. There will
fe plenty of room and opportunity
for everybody to make showing.
ThoseSwho are to take care of the
district department are doing all they
can to bring up fine array of the
products poultry and live stock and
the contest for district prizes is going
to be a warm one. The following
month is going to be a most active
one all over the county and the fair
is to be good one.
