ALL TO BE HOME
BEFORE STRIKE

CHATTANOOGA, Oct. 10
The only thing that is worrying the
officials of the Confederate reun-
ion committee now is the posi-
bility of railroad strike on the
evening of October so, and even
that should not prevent the at
tendance of all people in the Con-
federate zone of the country upon
the reunion. All of the commit
tees preparations to entertain a
large crowd of people are about
completed, and the hope is enter
tanned that fear of a railway strike
will not deter any who have made
their arrangements to be in Chat
tanooga upon the reunion occas-
ion. The committee, in the frs
instance, does not believe there
will be strike, out even If. there
is every visitor can leave Chat
tanooga as late as October 2S, the
day after the reunion closes, and
reach their homes before the strike
