conception of the labor movement and
our peoples connection with it was
gathered from the very interesting
talks. The Fairbanks hotel added
another point to it's credit, with its
fine cuisine, decorated tables and
quick service. and civility of its em-
ployes that is unsurpassed in the serv-
ing of this banquet, and the visitors
were loud i'm their praises of the eff
forts of the management
Delegates Offer Highest Praise for
Climate and Hospitality.
On every hand can be heard the eX-
pressions of commendatiOn for the re-
ception given the delegates and the ac-
quaintanceship and friendliness formed
since their arrival. They visited the
various churches and were warmly
received. In some cases they gave IN
formation from the pulpits and ros-
trums of conditions in the South land
and the good that is being effected by
organized labor.
Now that the convention is closed,
each delegate departs from our city
glad of the experience, the contact, the
great lessons learned that while we
are in the West, vet our hearts beat
with theirs, and the hope is that the
time is not far distant when the repre-
sentation made on behalf of our peo-
pie in the East, North and West VIII
find the same action in the South
making us IL stronger and u greater
people.

ing Industrial Depression.

The Department of Labor has made
n brief canvass regarding the savings
accounts of Negro workers in typical
industrial centers as affected by the
industrial depression during the period
December 81, 1920, to April 80, 1921,

stitutions, in Industrial centers, carry

banks reported, furnishing figures
showing that the savings of their Ne
gro depositors remained practically

ending April 80, 1921.
The 47,36S Negro depositOrs as of
December 81, 1920, carrying a total
amount of S3.SO9. 500, were increased.
as of April 30, 1921, to 47,699, with
total savings accumulation of $3,721,-

Negro depositors withdrew from the

PROBE IS ENDED
Sensational Clash Comes When
Witness Calls Strikers "Dyna-
miters" During Hearing

ATLANTA, Sept. 15.-The probe
of causes leading to the wrecking of
an A.. B. and A freight train seven
miles from here, September Z, ended
late yesterday.
At the afternoon session a sensa-
tional clash between ]. A. Hawkins
a machinist employee of the railroad
and Attorney Carl Hutcheson and
striking machinists in which Witness
Hawkins called the machinists "dyna.
miters," caused such a display of
feeling that Chairman Gambler had
TO threaten to call off the hearing I'M
l"ss it was conducted with more
dignity.
Outstanding feature of the probe
was the testimony of Superintendent
Harry Hawkins that he sent ger
cral warning of impending trouble
out over the line on the night of the
fatal accident near Atlanta because
of the action of three men in Man
chester who he charged have hereto
fore left that place on the night be-
fore every explosion which has oc.
Cured on the line since the strike
began last April.
Another interesting incident was
sharp tilt between Attorney Reu-
ben Arnold, representing the rail
road, and w. T. Turner, mem
Der of the special commission APP
pointed by Governor Hardwick to in
vestigate the case which arose after
Attorney Arnold had demanded of
