Buy Now Campaign !.
Going Over Nation
Observers in AL Sections Say Prices

ATLANTA, March II. (SpeciaD-
Buy now and save money is the bus
mess slogan in Atlanta, and from re-
ports received here by business men,
the same slogan is taking throughout
the State and the South. Atlanta
business men say that those who fol-
low the advice will be gamers thereby,
those who reject it not only will be
standing in their own light, but they
also will be obstructing business
without a good and sufficient reason.
All over the United States, accord
ing to reports received here, cam
paign for buying is under way. 1t is
campaign in the interest of the buy
ing and the selling public and that
means the whole pubic, for practical
ly everyone either buys or sells. Bus
mess, as pointed out here, has been
halted because buyers went on a strike
for lower prices. The great troeuble
says Atlanta business men, is that the
strike did not end when the lower
prices were obtained. Prices, it i.
shown, are down today on practically
everything. They are lower by fal
than year ago, or two years ago, and
in many instances they are as low as
before the United States, entered the
great war.
Business experts say prices cannot
be expected to go any lower than
they are now. Instead, they say, there
assurance that prices for most COM
modities this spring will be higher
than at present. This it is stated, is
one of the results of the buyers
strike" That "Strike" caused mills
and factories to close down, because
merchants did not buy, the goods fac
tories made, and that was because
the public did not buy what the mer-
chants already had on hand. Of
course, it is declared, there has been
some buying all the while else the
whole fabric of the nation would have
been destroyed, but it has been linn
tied buying and not what the public
needs demanded.
Resumption of buying, therefore, to
which southern business men call at
tention, creates an immediate demand
and that demand must be met by re-
sumption of activity in industrial
plants. Those who buy now help to
restore industry to a normal basis, re-
lieve unemployment and thus restore
prosperity. Frank C. Gilreatil.

ATLANTA-March l1.--Vir-
tual refusal to accept mediation
as a means of bringing about 4
settlement of the walk out of
employees on the "A. B. q A. this
afternoon by Receiver Bugg, re-.
plying to a pointed letter from
Judge Chambers and Commits
sioner Klutz of the Federal Board
of Mediation.
The official statement given
out by the mediators on the ac-
ton OF Bugg taking the stand
that there is really nothing to ar
bitrate, contending that the only
question involved was the inabii-
ity of the railroad to pay the
former scale of wages was that
his attitude is regretted by med
iators.
Judge Chambers in his state
ment said that mediation must
be practically abandoned and Sc
verely. criticized the attitude of
the receiver in refusing to accept
government mediation.
Refusal Means Fight
"B. L. Bugg's refusal to accept
mediation in this case, said w.
M. Martin, chairman Of the Joint
federation committee of the At
lanta Birmingham and Atlantic
employees this afternoon, means
that we are no longer in a contro
versy but in fight, and fight to
the bitter end"
Union men here declare thai.
Bugg's action is final evidence
that the railroad operators of the
A. B. & A. and of America have
decided to stand not on law or
justice but on brute strength and
the power of money.
I'VE did not invite So cruel a
war; said Mr.. Martin, abut it
has been forced on us and for our.
sakes and our wives sakes and
the sakes of our children and our
children's children we will not,
can not, submit to being pushed
down into another century Of
wage slavery and poverty and
misery.
"Bugg's decision to stand on
force of arms makes Gus case no
longer our case alone, and our
cause no longer our cause alone"
concluded Mr.. Martin with feel
ing. "It throws down the gaunt-
let to all union labor and to all
labor. We have no choice in this
matter; we must fight, fight to
the bitter end, and may God help
the side of right"
The statement was approved
by c. L. Fox and P. G. Collins
of the press committee.

Fitzgerald Fair Dates Suggested
October l to 8; Big Week Planned
Fitzgerald Exposition Will Be
Week Before Southeastern
Fair in Atlanta

Following the meeting in Macon
yesterday of the association of South
Georgia Fair Executives, executive
committee of Fitzgerald Fair Associa-
ton decided upon week from October
lst to 9th as best dates for the third
annual Fitzgerald Live Stock and
Agricultural Exposition. The recon-
mendation of the executive commit
tee will be submitted to the board of
directors for approval.
The executive committee, composed
of G. S. Wilcox, president, Isidor
Gelders, vice president and R. L.
Jones, secretary and treasurer, de-
clared confidence that Autumn time
and Fair time would see conditions as
prosperous as in any normal year.
That impression prevailed among all
the fair association men at the meet
ing in Macon, according to Mr.. Jones
who represented the local association
at meeting.
Contracts will be closed this sum
mer for the same carnival company
that will play at the Georgia Florida
Fair at Valdosta, according to plans
tentatively made by the executive
committee. Every effort will be made
to make the amusement features ex-
ceptionally good
The Ben Hill Farm Bureau has a
committee appointed to encourage and
assist preparing Of agricultural and
live stock exhibits for the fair. The
corn, pig and calf club boys will fur
nish strong department for the fair.
The poultry show, as in previous
years, will be equal to that at the state
fair
Precedes Southeastern Fair
The Southeastern Fair Association
have selected for their 1921 dates Oct.
18th to 22nd, inclusive, instead of Oct.
18th to 18th as was previously announ-
ced.
Through cooperation with the pure
bred livestock organizations of the
South, the National Hog and Cattle
Show will again be an exclusive fea-
ture at the fair, and the International
Club Stock Judging Contest, which
last year was such wonderful success
and created interest from all over the
country, will again have its place
among the leading features
The best race horses in America will
be entered in the Grand Circuit Races,
the merit of which all fair visitors are
acquainted, and in addition to the
horse races a number of big auto
events have been arranged
This year the Worthams Exposition
Shows will make their first trip South
to furnish the Midway attractions, and
will with their own excellent shows
and amusements devices combined
with those of Lakewood Park, make
the greatest collection of shows and
rides ever seen at Lakewood Park
before
A hearty attempt will be made by
the management of the Fair Associ-
alton this year to make every depart
ment bigger and better, and the won
derful entertainment program will be
such that will continue to make the
Southeastern Fair "The Fair Pre-emi-
nent in Exclusive Features"
