MONUMENT FOR
l5lST BATTALION
Harry Schneider Secures Contract
For Memorial To Be Built
In Macon

MACON, April 3.-Harry Schneid-
er, of the Schneider Marble company,
of Americas, former member of the
151st Machine Gun Battalion, was
awarded the contract of the l5lst
memorial Saturday at meeting OF
the buildign committee of the auXll-
iary.
The plan drawn by Capt. Sidney
Brown, former commander OF Co.
Macon Volunteers) of the Machine
Gun Battalion, fashion the memorial
in the form Of a white granite shaft
on which will be bronze tablets with
the names of the fallen heroes of
the battalion and two figures of ma
chine gunners.
The shaft on one side will be flank
ed with half circle bench of the
same material. Should the monu-
ment be erected on Coleman's Hill,
as is the hope of the building COM
mittee at present, the side facing the
city will give view to the business
section and the surrounding coun-
try.
The money for. the erection of the
memorial was raised by the Woman's
Auxiliary of the battalion and the
boys themselves while they were act
ing as unit of the Army of Occupa-
ed large amount by giving dances
and entertainments, while the mem
bers Of the battalion contributed out
right to the cause
Work on the memorial will COM
mence at once, it is understood, and
while no definite date has been set
for the dedication, the women of the
auxiliary are hoping that November
IL, Armistice Day, will be the date
of the dedication and reunion of
the Machine Gun Battalion.
Shortly after the battalion return
ed to Macon after the service over
seas, the city gave the small park on
Cotton avenue and First street in
front of the Volunteers armory for
the purpose of erecting the memorial
there, and the park was dedicated on
the afternoon of the arrival of the
oops. 1t was later decided that the
plCt was too small and Coleman's Hill
was suggested as the site While il
is nto definitely decided that the
monument will be erected at Cole
mans ELL, Mrs. j. M. Cutler, presi
dent Of the auxiliary, announced
yesterday that a petition is being
drawn up and vii lbe presented to
the mayo rand council next Tuesday
night, asking permission for the cree
ton of the memorial on the hill fac
ing the city.
1t is understood that the contract
was awarded to the Americas con.
cern for $8,l75, and when complete
will cost approximately $4,000. Al
present there is about $500 in the
memorial fund.

ENDING OF COAL
STRIKE PUT UP
TO OPERATORS
Winners Anxious To Resume
Work AS Soon AS Possible,
Lewis Tells Committee
(By Associated Press.)

Suspension of work in the union
coal mines was virtually complete to-
day, according to the reports from
union cources and claims were made
that there had been waikouts in some
non-union districts.
President Lewis told the house la
Dor committee that resumption of
work depended on the operators,
whose refusal to confer had provoked
the suspension.
The non-union Panhandle district
of West Virginia, was idle with 4,500
non-union men joining the walkout,
miners officials asserted,
WASHINGTON, April 8. = The
union coal miners who suspended
work Saturday were declared by John
L. Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers of America, today, to
be desirous OF ending the "suspen-
sion of mining operations at the ear
iest date but resumption of coal
production entirely depends upon the
luture attitude of the coal operators.
Lewis made the declaration before
the House labor comm ittee which is
holding hearings ON the Bland reso-
luton to direce the appointment by
the President of commission to in-
vestigate the coal industry. Lewis
asserted that his organization would
welcome amy impartial and judicial
investigation of general conditions in
the bituminous and anthracite coal
industries, especially the facts relat-
ing to investments, protlts, operating
practices, conservation of fuel re-
sources, the application of uniform
methods Of safeguarding life and
limb of the workers, and industrial
relations and conditions"
Lewis appeared armed with all the
arguments and statistics assembled
by the United Mine Workers to sup
port the action of the union in sus-
pending work in the nations coat
mines. ~t,

the Playground. Ali tickets beat
coupons which will be detached, the
holder being required to wear the por-
tion retained by him in order that the
grounds committee and police may be
able to check up the crowd and dis
cover those few who may have been
able to enter without paying.
The game is expected to be more
than an exhibition affair. 1t is the
windup of the spring training sea
son, and the opening of the pennant
races are only few days off. The
managers, therefore, are driving their
men hard and the contest will be a
hard working affair. Cobb himself
has been playing the full nine in
nings in the recent games, as have his
other first string men, and all are ex-
pected to go the full route here,
with the possible exception of the
pitchers.
The teams will probably be on the
grounds for workout for an hour
or more before the game starts, as is
the custom during the baseball sea-
son. This will afford the fans a
chance to see the players in SOME OF
their best action, if they care to be
on hand early.
