Workers Strike

Jitneys Flock to Rescue.

Chicago, Aug. Twenty thou.
sand motor men, conductors and
guards on surface and elevated lines
went on strike at 4 o'clock this
morning and the greater part of the
working portion Of Chicago's nearly
100000 persons was forced to seek
improvised transportation.
As usual all rolling stock available
including every variety of wheeled
pullable, pushable or motorized
vehicle, was inadequate and the
brunt of the traffic fell on "shank's
mare" Thousands started early
afoot and from we'll before dawn
streets and avenues leading to the
business and manufacturing districts
seethed with pedestrians. Streets in
the downtown district automatically
became one-way thoroughfares. Rut
even that action by the police depart.
ment was not enough to avoid badly
tangle jams of traffic.
Jitney Buses on Job.
Hundreds of jitney buses from
surrounding towns were on the job
with the break of day having been
summoned days ago, by Charles c.
Fitzh1orris, chief Of police, when a
strike appeared to be inevitable.
The walkout really began at II
last night when the surface car men
ending runs at that hour, took their
cars to the barns. From then on,
as runs were finished, the motor men
and conductors left off work. and
in the early hours of the morning,
the number of cars on the streets
gradually dwindled to zero.
Negotiations have been under way
between the surface line workers and
the surface line owners for several
days, after posting of>an order for a
wage reduction Of approximately II
per cent. All efforts to bring about
an agreement between the company
and the workmen were announced as
failures late " ns.day.

imously vo operate in the

Entra top Closed.
Early today carpenters went over
the elevated lines, boarding up the
entrances to the stations. The sur
face lines tunnels beneath the Chi
cago river also were boarded up and
guards placed around the entrances.
There was no statement from COM
pany officials as to when an effort to
resume traffic would be made, but
the Chicago Herald and Examiner in
a copyrighted news story published
today said the strike meant war
to the finish between the lines and
the employees. The newspaper said
the advance guard Of an army of 50,-
600 potential new employees had been
in Chicago three weeks and that
plans had been perfected for an at
tempt to break the strike quickly.
City authorities have prepared for
use at any moment the entire police
force of approximately 5000 men. and
it is understood certain Units of the
state national guard have been or
dered to be in readiness for duty.

LEGISLATURES ACTION
MAY CAUSE TANGLE.
PARKS SAYS LEGALITY OF EX-
IRA DAY IS QUESTIONED.
LITTLE ACCOMPLISHED.

While other members of the legisla
ture went to Brunswick to enjoy the
hospitality of that coast city Saturday
and Sunday, Representative w. B..
Parks took advantage OF the recess to
visit homefolks and constituents.
The action of the legislature in ex-
tending its session one day in order
to make the trip to Brunswick has
brought about a complicated situation.
The constitution OF Georgia provides
that the regular season. Of the legisla-
ture shall last fifty days This period
expires next Wednesday, at midnight
The house and senate however, by
Joint resolution, decided Saturday to
be dies non," which is Latin for
mo day" This was done in order to
accept Brunswicks invitation to visit
that city, and to prolOng the session
one day Through next Thursday
without losing legislative day be-
cause of the Brunswick trip.
But many of the best lawyers OF the
state contend that there is no authori-
ty for the Legislature to eradicate any
day from the calendar and that any
act OF the Legislature on next Thurs
day will be null and void. Mr.. Parks
also entertains this view. Whether this
contention is well founded is likely to
be determined by the courts if any
litigation arises from any act passed
next Thursday.
Be that as it may, the bulk of the
important business OF the session re-
NAMED to be transacted yesterday for
only three or four more days work.
Not a single measure OF importance
had been passed up to that time, the
entire session having been taken up
in wrangles of one kind or another.

JUDGE RUSSELL is
PROMINENT VISITOR
DISTINGUISHED JURIST AND
CANDIDATE FOR CHIEF JUS
TIcE MEETS FRIENDS.

Judge Richard B. Russell was
prominent visitor in Dawson snort
while Wednesday, stopping here en-
route from Morgan
Judge Russell was making a trip
through this section OF the state IN the
interest of his candidacy for chief jus
tice OF the supreme court. He has hosts
OF friends and admirers who are al
WAYS glad to see him, and was CIV
en- warm reception
In outlining the platform upon
which he is making the race Judge
Russell declared himself as opposed
to life tenure of public office and III
favor OF election OF judges by the. peo-
pie Judge Russell stated that ne IS
ready to stand before the people IN
the present campaign on his record OF
judicial service on the superior court
bench and the state court OF appeals.
If honored by your ballots with
the chief justiceship, he said, i shall
enter upon the discharge OF my duties
owing no allegiance except to the
state, and actuated by no motive save
to render Georgia, in the best years
OF my life, the very highest service
OF which. with the experience | have
already had, l am capable.
The constitution provides that the
term of office of the chief justice shall
be six years. Yet many of those OPP
posing me are avowedly or implicitly
advocating life tenure, which would
make it impossible for many able sons
and daughters of Georgia ever to as,
pire to positions OF public trust and
honor. The boys and girls are, each
and every one, entitled to their op-
porunity. The principle that a change
in iudgeship is in no sense injurious
to the public interest was set up and
Endorsed by Chief Justices Warner
and Buckley, who voluntarily retired
in their declining years, and whose
example was followed by number OF
our ablest associate justices"
