city of Savannah.
: The soncensus of opinion of the To-
cal Chamber of Commerce that Bruns-

to organize the senators and represen-

more directly affected, to substitute
Brunswick for Savannah or to leave
both cities out of the constitutional
amendment, and thus leave the selec-
ton of the, location for the port TO a
later decision.

Bradshaw Music Co.'S.
Eleventh Anniversary

In talking with Mr.. O. L. Bradshaw
ct the Bradshaw Music Company, to.
day he said in part: Eyes this IS Our
Eleventh Anniversary. Bringing happi-
ness into the lives of people is rather
a I.lce bsiness, we contend. and whcr
t'at record go"s back eleven joyous
r'elodious seasons, the sensation be-
comes one of almost spiritual satisfac-
ton.
1--WE are proud of the fact that in
this comparatively brief period we have
placed in the homes of South Georgia
and South Alabama, thousands of pi-
amos and monographs Starting
alone in 1911 at Ocilla and Fitzgerald
later working other points in South
Georgia and South Alabama and fl
mainly in 1916 opening a permanent
store in Fitzgerald, we onw have a
force covering large territory in
z h Georgia and South Alabama.
But the finest thing about our pro-
gress has not been the increase in the
size of our organization or the in
creased business we do.
sit has been the increasing circle OF
friends, staunch, loyal friends, who
have sood by US all over our territory
To have had the privilege of know
ing and serving these friends has made
our work a pleasure"

Chairman Hooper
Sees Little Hope
In Rail Walkout
Big Bar To Peace Now Seems r. Re-
Seniority Rights

CHlCAGO-Failure of all efforts n
bring about the settlement of the conn
try-wlde strike of railway shopmen
was announced in a statement issued
wednesday night by Ben w. Hooper
chairman of the United States Labor
Board.
AS there does not seem to he anv
possibility of reconciling the antinoda,
views OF the carriers and the men on
'he question at issue, the labor board
and none OF its members are now en-
iaged IN any further efforts along that
line, the statement said.
AT het same time the Statements
pointed out hat virtual agreement had
been reached between the rail heade
and the strike leaders on all of the five
points in dispute except that of the
return to the strikers of their seniority
rights, an accidental question which
was not originally in dispute between
The roads and their men
Statement Confirmed
Railroad executives through the wes-
tern presldents's committee on public
relations OF the Association of Railway
Executives issued a statement TONIGHT
corroborating Chairman Hooner,s
statement that no further peace con-
ferences were being held and that the
seniority issue was the principle
stumbling block.
here are now no conferences in
progress looking to a settlement Of
the shop crafts STRIKE" the executives
statement said. Chairman HOOPER Of
the labor board has held informal con-
terences with some railway executives
but these have had no results and are
now at an end.
Since the strike was called the

Waycross Is Not
Under Martial Law

Rumors circulating that the troops
now Stationed at Waycross had been
forced to declare martial law are off
set by the following message.
WAYCROSS, July 2O-State troops
are still stationed here but the town is
not under martial law They were or
dered back to the annual encampment
at St. Simons Island, but the local au-
thorities being undecided as to wheth-
er they could cope with the situation
or not if any more disturbances arose
asked the Governor to order the troops
to remain until they could deputize a
sufficient number of special policemen
and deputy sheriffs to quell any future
trouble that might arise.

The following symposium on this
subject has been collected from some
of our representative people through
the activity of Mrs. R. E. Lee, Mrs.
Geo. Brown and Mrs. l. Gelders, who
compose an auditorium COMMITTEE
from the Woman's Club and who met
the Mayor and heads of other organi-
cations i'll joint meeting last Friday
afternoon to discuss plans for speedy
naturalization of this long hoped for
and needed improvement to our school
system.
The Mayor reiterated past state
ments that ways and means can be
provided as soon as. the sentiment of
the people is strong enough for it. The
best evidence of this spirit would be
the successful carrying of $4,000
bond election this fall.
The opponents to the large bond is
sue of last year were so numerous and
so aggressive that the friends of the
movements preferred to call it off be-
fore it should meet with possible fail
ure Some of the needed improvements
of last year were made in more linn
tied way through the appropriations
and it is hoped no question of partisan
issue or of ward faction will develop
this time against an improvement linn
tied solely to the greatest need of all
namely, an auditorium at the High
School building for daily use of the
pupils attending there and for joint use
o., all school children on occasion,and
a community centre for all kinds of
higher class entertainments, impossible
now with the lack of a large enough,
Or otherwise suitable place.

feel that it is not necessary to dis
cuss the needs of an auditorium, es-
pecially to those who have, or had, chill
dren in our High School.
Without an auditorium our children
are being denied one of the great priv
ileges of school life. When providing
for our children and theireducation,
why not give them the best we can
and we all know we can build an aud
itorium.

School Auditorium.
Mrs. A. w. Kirkland
l do not believe there is anything
Fitzgerald needs so badly as she needs
an Auditorium, and certainly the school,
system needs it every day school is in
session. An Auditorium is essential
for the successful operation of the
Public Schools. There rs not a room
or building belonging to the CITY
that would accommodate any kind oil
an entertainment, even the study hal
at the High School will not seat more
than half of the High School pupils
at the chapel exercises.
l believe, with the compromise sug.
gested, reducing the proposed bond is.
sue from $4,000 for several improve
ments and buildings, to $4,000 for an
Auditorium only we would have nc
trouble in securing sufficient votes to
carry, if an election rs called.

Rail Board Backed
In Harding Edicts
Firmly Demands Observance Of Wage
Decision; Rail Men Firmly Decline

WASHINGTON, D. C.-President
Harding rled Saturday that decisions
of the Railroad Labor Board are
mandatory; that they must be obeyed
to the letter by the railroads them
selves as we'll as by Railroad Labor.
In a conference with E. F. Cradle,
president of the United Brotherhoods
OF Maintenance of Way Employees and
Railway Shop Laborers, President
Harding for the first time has labor's
side of the controversy placed before
him. A White House statement said.
The President gave the fullest pos
sible hearing and assured Messrs. Ora
BILE and Feick they had taken the one
defensible course in presenting their
cases.
He assured them inasmuch as con-
gress has constituted the railroad la
Dor board for the express purpose of
settling disputes and preventing inter
ruptlons to transportation, all decisions
must be accepted by employers and EN-
ployees alike, and assured them also
that noncompliance on the part of the
| railways had not been brought to his
attention until the strike was called.
He explained that any inadequacy
in the law must be corrected by Con-
gress and can not be effected by inter
rupting railway operations.
Messrs Cradle and Feick expressed
hope for an early settlement and de-
clared that the proper conference would
end in such settlement. The Presi-
dent assured them that every possible
conference was being sought.
By firmly demanding observance Of
the Railroad Labor Boards decisions
by the railroads, as we'll as by Labor
President Harding hopesto bring both
sides together in conference, to arbi.
trate their differences.
EDITORS NOTE-If the above
statement OF President Harding is sin
cere and carried to its logical con-
clusion, Receiver Bugg of the A. B. &
A. should be one of the first railway
officials brought before the tribunal
Bugg refused to appear before the
Labor Board in 1921, when they cited
him to hold conference with the en-
ployees of the A. B. < A. and declared
! that this high tribunal had no jurisdic-
ton over him or his road. Bugg also
refused to submit his case to the gov
ernment's Board of Mediation, sent to
Atlanta by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, stating that he had moth
ing to arbitrate. Now if the law has
TEETH such as President Harding
alleges, it should force the A. B. &
A. controversy to be re-opened and
settled along with the national strike
of Railway Shop Employees.
