viii Answer De-

Wage Increases, Prob

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1O.-Rail Di-
OF the four great railroad brother
hoods to meet him tomorrow to dis
cuss general industrial conditions.
In the morning heads of all the
brotherhoods will confer with Hines.
In the afternoon he will give his
answer to two Of the brotherhood
chiefs on demands for immediate
wage increases.
The answer will be an offer Of a
general wage increase Of not more
than three per cent, it is understood.
The demand of the Brotherhood
Of Railroad Trainmen was for an
increase averaging forty per cent and
that of the Order of Railway Con-
ductors for thirty-five per cent.
Anticipate: ; that Mr. Hines offer

the chief organization is the shop
mems, including 100000 workers, who
took a strike vote in August, but
postponed a walkout at request of
President Wilson in order to give the
government opportunity to reduce the
cos of living.
An adverse answer to demands of
the trainmen and conductors now
would bring keen anxiety to the
other railroad Unions, according to
union officials.
In such a situation, it is considered
likely that the fourteen L-ganiza-
tons would join and present an ulti-
matum.
The railroad workers are deter
mined, their officials say, to gain
wage increase before Januar. 1, when

ing This Newest Pas
time ..

Last week The Atlanta Semi

neous popularity is evidenced by the
number of readers of this paper who
are already playing the game.
Unlike a great many puzzle games,
there is no known answers to the
Figure Puzzle Game. The players
themselves decide as to the correct
answer. Here is the idea:
The Figure Puzzle editor drew UP
a chart with SO squares in it. Then
he placed figures in most of the
squares, but left a number of blank
spaces distributed all over the chart
These blank spaces were then filled
in by Hon. M. L. Britain, state SUI
perintendent of schools, and Hon. J.
w. Simmons, superintendent Of Full
ton county schools. The purpose of
this was so that no one would know
in advance what the answer to the
Figure Puzzle Game might be. The
Figure Puzzle editor, in order to de-
termine what answer he would get
would have to play the game just
like any other player.
In this way every one taking part
in the puzzle has the same oppor-
tunity for winning a prize. The
highest correct answer sent in will
be the one winning the first prize
the next highest correct answer win
ming the second prize and so on un-
til all the prizes have been awarded

tions and prize list on page 2 OF

VERDICT RETURNED
IN IRWIN TRIAL
Sentence Of One Year I'M
posed by Judge - De-
PENDANT to Move for New

Refusing to admit Rush Irwin, STAY
er of George J. Moody, to bond pend
ing the hearing Of his motion for a
new trial, Judge John D. HUMPHREYS
on Monday morning delivered from
the bench a scathing denunciation
of the action of w. H. Irwin, broth
er of the defendant, in issuing
through a local newspaper card of
thanks to nine jurors who he
thought urged the acquittal of the
defendant. Irwin was found guilty
of voluntary manslaughter and SEN
fenced to serve one year in the state
penitentiary, the penalty being fixed
bv the jury under the indeterminate
sentence law. The verdict was re-
turned at II o'clock Sunday morn
ing.
On Monday morning there appeared
in the press formal statement from
w. HA Irwin, of Birmingham, Ala
brother of the defendant, thanking
nine of the twelve jurors and criti

paper. The author of the statement
had the impression that the nine
jurors had stood out for acquittal
but had compromised on a one-year
sentence. The same newspaper car
ried an alleged statement from So
licitor Geenral John A. Boykir de-
claring that three jurors started the
case with the firm determination to
acquit the defendant regardless OF
the evidence.
When Judge HUMPHREYS opened
court Monday morning Attorney Reu-
ben r. Arnold, counsel for the de-
Tense, moved for a new trial and the
cour then took occasion to voice his
extreme disapproval of the action of
w. H. Irwin and of the statement
attributed to Solicitor General Boy
kin.
IT have thought seriously on the
matter. and L must leave this case
just where it was before the start
of the tria,' said Judge HUMPHREYS
my opinion to this effect also has
been strengthened by the deplorablt
situation that has arisen since the
verdict was rendered. Respect fol
the purity of jury trials demands
that 1 leave the case just where il
is without any change.
Judge HUMPHREYS fixed November
20 as the date of the hearing on tLe
motion for new trial, but refused
to admit Irwin to bond ir' view OF

SENATE DEBATES
ARTICLE TEN Of

Republicans May Propose
CIoture to Eliminate Long
Debate and Hurry Action
on the Treaty

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1O.-With
apparently little change in the pro-
gram of procedure developed over
the week end despite increasing pres
sure from members who desire early
final action SO they might have a
recess before the regular session of
congress begins in three weeks, OPP
posing factions in the peace treaty rat
tfication fight lined up today for a
continuation of the struggle over
reservations relating to Article 10,
of the League of Nations covenant,
which was recommended by the for
eign relations committee and the ad-
ministration senators desired most
of all to defeat.
The only step discussed today that
might hasten the consideration of the
treaty, was the possibility that Re-
publican leaders migA propose cloture
to curtail the protracted debate. In
this plan they were said to be sup
ported by number of Democrats.
Except for the transition of one
phrase, the resolution TO Article ten
is the same as that which President
Wilson declared during his western
trip he will regard as a rejection of
the treaty.
It's text follows:
THE United States assumes no
obligation to preserve the territorial
integrity or political independence of
any other country or to interfere in
controversies between nations
whether members of the league or
not-under the provisions of Article
ten, or to employ the military or
naval forces Of the United States
under any article of the treaty for
any purpose, unless in any particu-
lac case the congress, which, under
the constitution, has the sole power
to declare war or authorize the en-
ployment of the military or naval

act or joint resolution so provide"
