The brotherhood representatives
still maintain headquarters at the
Piedmont hotel and for the past few
days have been issuing statements
concerning various phase of the con-
troversy. Their statement of Satur
day follows:
information reaching us from re-
liable sources indicate that acts of
violence and persecution of former
employees are being INDUCED in by
persons now in the service of the At
lanta, Birmingham & Atlantic rail-
way, and it is also alleged that these
persons are guilty of serious indiscre-
ton toward employees who have
withdrawn from the service. These
are matters which officials in charge
of the railway should control and if
is hoped that they will see to it, as
they must admit that the former en-
ployees are entitled to enjoy their
lawful rights in the premises, which
rights they will insist upon enjoying.
Instead of the stockholders of this
railroad being widows and orphans
as usually stated by officials of rail-
way corporations; it should be noted
that 1856 shares of stock are held
by corporations located in Boston.

Lee Dodd, who is in Jail at Fitz-
gerald for rioting h a d admitted,
among other things, that he had
been detective at one time; had been
in the employ of the NJ & MA. Ry.
in Arkansas where he and other of
his type had practically wrecked that
railroad. Right here is where atten-
ton should be called to a matter of
utmost interest to the public--the
public who risk their lives and pro-
perty when using the, so-called, SER
vice provided by the A. B. & A. Ry.
at this time AS is the custom in
situations of this kind, railroad Off
Gals, through the medium of regular
Strike Breaking Agencies, import
what are known as professional strike
breakers, consisting largely of men
not specialized in any trade but who
are willing to temporarily fill the pos
itions vacated by the strikers, and at
wages far in excess, and often times
double, of what had been paid the
regular forces.
From actual experiences with this
class of men we can authoritatively
say that the greater part of them, as
rule, are radicals and the riff-raff
and scum of the country, and with
whom no self respecting person
would desire to associate A few,
