 ing Ultimatum From
 Terminals Company
By Associated Pres.

Atlanta Ga, June 2-The first im- portant break in the ranks of the strik- ing railway clerks was announced here tonight by l.. l.. Mcdonald, assistant superintendent of transportation at the Atlanta joint terminals, who stated that the 107 clerks who quit at the terni- nals had advised him they would re- turn to work tomorrow morning
 The action of the clerks followed d warning issued late today by the Termi- nals Company that their positions would be filled if they did nc' return by to- morrow morning.

All roads entering Atlanta. except the seaboard Air Line. had been affected by the strike, which had spread to a score of other Georgia cities and to adjoining states.
 Other railroad crafts met in executive session tonight, put it was announced no action was taken on the clerks strike Those who attended the sessions said there were arguments for and against taking some action, but the matter was dropped without a vote q

Declaring that MT. Baruch when
 head of the war industries board had
 appointed cooperative committee on
 copper, with John D. Ryan of New
 York as chairman, and presidents and
 owners of copper procuring plants in
 the United States as members, MT. Ma
 son charged that this committee had
 allowed copper producers to buy at one
 price and sell at another. He also
 charged that the committee after the
 war permitted 100. 0.000,0 900 pounds of copper which the government, he said, purchased at g cents a pound, to be
 sold back to the producers at 15 cents Q pound.
 In addition to writing to Mir. Mason. Mr Baruch wrote to Representative Garrett democrat, Tennessee and Rep- resentative Hudspeth. democ Texas. In his letter to MT. Garrett he asked the Tennessee member to demand of MT. Mason that as he made that state ment under the protection the consti- tuition gives the Congress he should do either one of two things; he must use his utmost ability both as a member of the Congress and as a private citi-
 zen to see that l am prostrated to the limit of the law If he be right and. if he be wrong, he must make an apology as full as was his charge. It is about time that the borgia-like as- sassins of character cease their work or accept the responsibility of their actions"
 In his letter to Mr. Hudspeth. Mir B&ruch said that he hoped through tie activities of you and those of your colleagues, regardless of their political faiths, who believe in fair play, to be afforded the opportunity of branding
 the charge as a vicious and deliberate lie in it's every respect.

ocALA NOT INTERESTED

When the Banner and Star pull to-
gether, they can generally yank a
Packard twelve out of the mud, but
they couldn't draw much of an au-
dience to hear Messrs. Miller and
Richardson argufy at the courthouse
for the bond amendment Friday
night. Less than fifty were present,
several of whom were against the
amendment.
Messrs. F. o. Miller and Fl. Fl.
Richardson are good business men and
staunch boosters for Florida and
have done much good work for the
state. But short time ago the devil
took them up into the top of an ex-
ceedingly high pine tree. and showed
them the whole state Of Florida,
criss-crossed with SAC, 900 mile high
ways and big bond issue hanging
over it ike cooling cloud. They are
up that tree yet, but the people will
chop it down Nov. q.
Mr.. Al Harris. who was with them,

Metropolis such bright and lively
paper. Chaperoned by Mr. Harris OF
the Banner, he called on the Star
which was glad to see him two times
Ocala has about made up its mind
about the bond issue and will regard
lit with langnid interest until the day
comes to put crossmark against it
But we are glad to see Messrs. Mil.

EVERYDAY DEMOCRATS

One of our friends came in Friday
somewhat perturbed about sem
tence he had read in the last issue
Of his Star. It said:
sBy democrat, we mean those who
consider their party allegiance q
principle and a trust, year IN and
year out, and not merely biennial
spasr.e
The sentence seems clear enough to
Us. But we are we'll aware that no
man Is an impartial Judge Of what
he writes. so perhaps the gentleman
had some reason for his perturbation
What we mean by democrats who
have merely biennial spasms is
we fear, a majority Of democrats.
For over thirty years they have not
had regular political campaign ex-
cept among themselves. They have
been accustomed to become all "het
up" in first the conventions and later
the primaries. Having nominated
candidates, they 60 about their pri-
vate business or pleasure and forget
their party until the next primary. A
majority Of them are too lazy or in
different to vote in the general cleo
ton. Not half the democrats In Flor
ida voted in the general election two
years ago. If they are as slack III the
coming election, or only half as slack,
as they were in the last one, they
stand good show of losing the state
to the republicans.
The republican vote in Florida is a
muchly unknown quantity. OF course,
i'm week or two the negro vote can
be figured on. and it is safe to count
every negro as republican. It is
the white vote that is 10 be the puz-
zle 1t win probably be larger than
for years. Also, there is going to be
considerable vote Of democrats that
either stayed out of the primary or
are going to- disregard their primary
obligation, cast for republican cleo
tors, A number of them frankly say
SO, and for every one who speaks out,
there are more likely two or three
who win vote for republican electors
without saying so.
All the vigilant, hard working DEM
ocrate, who feel that their party OBJ
legation is public trust, should work
increasingly until the polls close 20
see that no democrat negIects his
duty There are going to be several
republican counties IN this state after
election, and we do not want Marion
to be one of them.
lie the few foregoing words do not
make our meaning plain. we viii have
to give up in despair.

WHERE DO SUMTER
AND MARION COME IN
Sumter County Timesl


Where would Sumter county come
in for any share of the state bond
issue? Where is the information that
we will ever get one penny's return
In fact. what information have me
as to when and wher and how and
why any road will be built? Isn't it all
guess work Isn't it a fact that in
voting such an amendment to the
constitution we are simply submitting
our selves to thesstender mercies" of
the legislature and such future legis-
Ilatures as may be elected without
even an intimation as to who will
compose the future ones2 Road en-
thusiasn and good Judgment should
go hand i'm hand. Don't vote for this
measure simply because you are in
favor of good roads. It is just like
buying suit of clothes in the dark
without enquiring the price, for no
lother reason than that you want the
new suit.

PRINCIPLE AND PLUNKs

The Star has been informed i

count Of its outspoken remarks the

The Star has lost hundreds and
perhaps thousands Of dollars N the
last ten years for the same reason.
But the Star would rather fail n
business than fail IN what It believes
to be its duty.
Principle il better than plunks.
However, the Star doesn't appre'
bend failure. It grows day BY day.
If il should ever become too cow
ardly or mercenary to express 1T

that practically every newspaper In

when it refers to the possibilities back
or the republican effort in this state.
Some Iukewarm democratic newspap-

preservation Of white supremacy as
mere piffie. We trust that they are
correct In their view and not merely
hiding their own semi-republican
souls behind 4 pretense Of democracy.
