DIST. ATTORNEY BENNETT
is NOT "PEONAGE MAD

John w. Bennett, of WaycrOSS, well
known in Brunswick, and who is the
United States district attorney for
the Southern district of Georgia, gave
out an interview in Savannah yester-
day in which he stated that he is an
tirely at a,loss to understand rhe pub
lication in a Macon paper Sunday OF
telegram from Atlanta that the ce-
partment OF justice is displeased with
his Investigations cf the peonage con-
ditions in his district.
Discussing the report MIR. Bennett
said he is not aware that federal
agents are trying to bring about >
change in the district attorneys Of
flee of the Southern district of Geor-
gia, as was indicated in the Atlanta
report.
1t is very we'll known throughout
the district tn lathe district attorney
for the Southern district of Georgia
has not permitted himself 0 70 ''peon
lage mad" He has not run amuck ir
search of plantations in the oiSu.h
ern district where peonage was sup
posed to exist. The district attorney
is very mu hcin earnest in his efforts
to put down any genuine case oi
peonage that might arise but no has
not accepted the theory that every
time a negro man wants to jump a
contract he can cry peonage and bring
his employer into court. He has had
no hesitation in letting it be known
that these are his views and this may
have had something to do with the re-
ports sent out from Atlanta that eV-
erything was not harmonious.

conferences which Secretary of Labor
Davis has been conducting with rep
resentatives of all the parties con-
cerned participating, in efforts to set
tie the marine workers wage dispute.

however, that if the situation should
change so as to make such efforts to
some purpose, the conferences would
be renewed between the parties to the
dispute, and that further efforts would
be made to effect a settlement salts

by men showing efficiency in the ser
vice would get extra compensation.

In discussing other phases of the
strike situation Admiral Benson de-
clared that reports to his Office from
all shipping sections of the country
showed a very hopeful outlook, and
that rapidly increasing number of
men and officers are volunteering TO
return to their duties aboard ship.

strike order Sailings from practical

The .company's Attitude. ),
In discussing the pending petition
last night Attorney Wilcox stated that
the receivers are anxious to maintain
the street car company as going con
cern, aud with this idea in view they
are offering property in which the
investment is more than $1,000 at
the price of $4,000, and in addition
to this will contract to. furnish the
necessary power to operate the cars at
sum approximately one-half the au-
thorized rate for commercial electric
power He said that the street rail-
way will be iunked only as a lastzre-
sort, only after all efforts to sell it as
a going concern on these liberal terms
have been exhausted.
Brunswick will await with consider
able interest-and anxiety-the action
of the commissioners when they pass
on the proposal today.

nine-power treaty aiming to settle the

Asiatic interests: and the two-p power
treaty between America and Japan out
lining the rights Of both nations ON the
island of zap.
With all of these treaties except that
of the Far East the American public is
already pretty familiar. There is sure
to be prolonged discussions, however, of
each of them. particularly the four-power
Pacific treaty, on account of the question
raised as to the responsibilities assumed
under it by the United States.
1t seems likely that they win all be
ratified, in time, in spite of the opposition.
but it is certain that they are not going
through without a fight. Nothing like
the prolonged struggle over the Versailles
treaty in the senate is expected. but it
need not surprise anybody if the debate
occupies the senate all winter, at least.
