The Department Of Labor stepped
into the local bakers strike again
today and arranged a conference for
2 o'clock this afternoon, which is ex-
pected to go far toward bringing
about a settlement IN the wage dis

ment, obtained from employing and
cmploye bakers today their consent
to air their grievances at a confer
ence table and attempt compromise
of the disagreement
No Change In Situation.
At meeting today in Typogra phi
cal Temple, union bakers received
word that there is no change in the
situation. The same information was
rendered at meeting of the en-
meeting in the Office of Attorney L. A.

At the conference under the auspices
of the Department of Labor two days
ago the executive boards of the union
and of the employers agreed to a
proposition for wage scale of $1.00
per hour day work and $1.10 night
work. This proposition was turned
down by the body Of the union mem

work, and $1.20 night. in lieu of a re-
spective present scale of 80 cents and
$1.00 per hour.

stated Louis D. Newton editor of
The Cristion Index, organ of the
Georgia Baptists, before the Mer-
Ger University Ministerial associa
ton here last night. The ideal
boudble-service system from
churches is to give over the even
ing service to the young people, he
declared.
Speaking on THE Call of God
for the Ministry" Mr. Newton eX-
horted the students to avoid the
peril of becoming successful in the
eyes of the world. he urged them
to never play down to the desire
for ser" ationalism that is rife
along church people of the day.
The church Of God seems to be
fleeing from the places of action
and leaving the ways of difficult
thought, he said.

STATE AID ASKED
BOIL NEEVIL WORK
Quarantine May Be Applied To
Farms Not Using Calcium
Arsenate

ATLANTA, Oct. 19.-That the
State will be asked, through the
authorized agencies, to apply the
provisions of quarantine law to all
cotton planters in Georgia who do
not use calcium &rsenate to fight
the boil Weevil, is statement
made here today as a result Of ac-
ton yesterday on the part Of the
Southern Fertilizer Association, in
annual meetings, when that organ
iz&tIcn insisted that the use of this
poison is essential TO the advance
ment OF the cotton crop. 1t was sug
gested that banks and business in
situations decline to advance cred
its to any farmer who declines to
use calcium arsenate under the
scientific methods developed by re
search and experiment through ac
credited agencies.
The plan is now being advanced
however, to invoke the provision
cf the State laws to compel use
Of the preparation on the ground
that a farmer who does not treat
his own crop and endeavor to rid
it Of DOLL weevil is endangering the
crop Of the neighbcr who does.
IL is learned that the State
Board of Entomology already has
that matter under adyisement and
for scme days mas been making a
study Of its provinces and duties
in the matter of application Of
quarantine regulations. There are
under which abe State board can
work along the lines suggested.
