Look For WalkOut

Railroad executives yesterday sent
word down the various lines to pre-
pare for a general strike of union
employees What sort of preparations
will be made is not given out, but
a line on men employed in various po-
sitions is being gotten, so that, if
necessary, they can be pressed into
the operating service. Most of these
men, not members of upions. know
something of handling trains AMI
those who cannot do that class of
work are familiar with the freight
bills and will be put to work in freight
offices.
While nothing has been given out
by the heads of the Brotherhood of
Railway Clerks, it was said in Mem
pnis yesterday that this class of men
are expected to follow the five broth
elhoods soon after they quit work.
Numbers Of old employees Of the
railroads could be overheard discuss
inr the proposed strike yesterday.
Many admit they are not financially
able to strike, but they say, "What
ale We going to do? We would be d
afraid to attempt TO help operate a
train
On the other hand, the railway ex-
ecutives do not anticipate any vio-
lence. They believe the strikers are
going about their business in a legal
way. orderly and friendly, but de-
teinined TO win. Railroad executives
Of lines entering Memphis promise a

The beautiful a. d. G. Float, whica
attracted so much attention in the
parade on Tuesday. and which has
since received quite a great deal Of
comment, was described in the Dis
patch as having had green and white
paper used IN the decoration. Since

in decorating. the women would ap-
preciate seeing that this error is cor
fected.
The decorations were Of beautiful
green and white cloth and green ivy.

painted gold material Il was one Of
the most beautiful floats ever seen in
Columbus and reflected splendid taste
