as Date for Hearing
COMMITTEE TO MEET
Eight Members Return from
Conference in Atlanta

March 10Th was set as the date for Il
hearing on the A. B. & A. wage re-
auctions in an order issued yesterday
by Judge Samuel H. Sibley, at the
petition of Col. B L. Bugg, receiver
and former president for the A. B. &

hoods and the receiver will have an
opportunity to present evidence and
argument on the wage reduction or
der issued Monday by Receiver Bugg
on authority of Judge S:bley of the
United States District Court in At
lanta who has assumed control of the
railroad through the receivership ac-
ton.
Eight members of the Joint Fed
Grafton Committee representing the
IS crafts affected by the wage reduc-
ton order returned this morning from
Atlanta, where they had been in con-
ference with Col. bugg. They will
meet in executive session at o'clock
this afternoon. The purpose of the
meeting has not been made public but
it is thought probable that they will
consider the order fixing date for
a hearing on the wage reduction.
The union officials who have re-
turned are c. L. Fox, chairman Of
conductors; E. c. Hogan, chairman
of clerks and station employees; c. w.
Cook, chairman of railway employees
department; w. S. Lonkert, chairman
of sheet metal workers; ]. T. Hen
bricks, chairman of carmen; 6. S.
Garrett, chairman of electrical work
ers; l. c. Smith, chairman of boiler
makers; M. D. Towns, chairman of
the blacksmiths. All live in Fitzger-
aid.
w. M. Martin, chairman of the
joint committee, is still in Atlanta and
it is understood will request another
conference between the committee
and receiver Bugg before date OF the
court hearing.
international heaquarters of the
Brotherhood Railway Clerks, Freight
Handlers, Express and Station EN-
ployes yesterday confirmed the report
in the Leader Enterprise Monday
that strike ballot had been taken by
all crafts affected by the wage Feduc-
ton order and that it had been veted
to strike if all other means OF secur-
! ing satisfactory settlement of this
wage controversy failed. The vote
was completed January 2sth.
The strike was sanctioned by the
international heads of sixteen Brother
hoods meeting in Chicago yesterday
accomplishing the final formal step in
making ready for a strike No strike
has been called, however and will
probably not be until it becomes evil
dent that all other means of maintain
ing present wage scales have failed.

possesses the necessary qualities to
q marked degree.
And these mothers-children
themselves! Bad? Well. there's
nothing to indicate II. Little girls
learning to cook. learning to sew.
learning to launder. learning to
take care of children as they should
be cared for. talking and laughing
quietly over their work, flushing
prettily at a word of praise. In

earnestness to be capable house
keepers or house servants, learning
to respect authority human and d.
vine, learning self restraint and in
dustry, learning the unforgettable
luxury of personal cleanliness and
the appreciation Of beautiful sur
roundings.
Is the work q success? The mana
gers are not elated: they seem to re-
member the failures more than the
successes-the girl who seems to
have profited none at all for the
teaching fills a larger part in their
thoughts than the many who have
gone forth to q valued and respect
ed place in life. And you hear no
reference to what these young
women and children might, proba bly,
would. have become but for their in
terposition- Possibly some Of their
success is due to this modest ap-
probation of their work.
The results are shown by the fact
that in the last nine years (since
occupying the present home) there
have been only three deaths, all in
fants; that most of the young wom-
en- who have left keep in touch
with the home by correspondence;
that the majority OF them are now
happily situated, usefully employed
and contented: that seven were
married last year: and many Of the
children adopted into families OF
self-respecting and well-to-do citi-
Gems.
The whole system is one of hu-
man salvage working on life's most
difiicult fotsam. II the great war
taught us two things they were:
First. the value of any human be-
ing who could and would work
second. the great value Of the right
kind of human being. The nation
needs all of the latter class that car
be produced. Go and see them in
the making and come away your
self the better for the visit.
