decided that they would not be IN

1t has been known for several
weeks that the Borden company
was quietly engaged in gathering
data about Selma and the suitable
ity of this field for one of their
plants, having sent two sets of their
field men here to gain some first
hand information, and the hope
was strengthened that this big
company would become identified
with the milk interests here.
It is known that further effort

by those in close touch with the

SECURITIES COMMISSION
ADOPTS TWO NEW RULES

ATLANTA, August 20. = Two
new rules affecting application for
sale of stock in this state have just
been adopted by the Georgia Sc
curfties commission. One provides
that stock issued for patents, copy
right, formulas or other tangible as
sets must not exceed one-third of
the common stock Of the company,
nor will applications, be considered
from companies issuing preferred
stocks for any consideration except
cash or its equivalent. No promo
ton stock will be allowed, and to-
tai expense of stock sales must not
exceed Is per cent.
The other new rule adopted pro-
vides against consideration of an
application from Georgia com
pany issuing non-par stock, as the
commission holds that there is no
provision in the Georgia law for
these companies obtaining charters
from Superior courts.

aEmsrqency PROGRAM.

Submitted to the membership by
the General Executive Board of the
I. w. W.-Chicago. ILL.,, Oct. ~, 1924.
THE work Of organization on the
job has been INSTRUCTED. and the in
dustrial unions have sustained much
damage from the present situation at
headquarters. Great hopes were en-
tertained by the membership that a
general convention would straighten
out the matter. These hopes have
turned to disappointment. The pres
emit so-called general convention at
Emmett Memorial Hall, Chicago, which
convened Oct. IS, has shown beyond
all question that it is completely un-
der control Of the political element,
whose program is the capture or
liquidation of the l. w. w. 1t has
made no effort to discover and re-
move the causes of the present
trouble. All its actions are calculated
to strengthen and perpetuate domin-
alton by the politicians.
This so-called convention has only
served to further complicate the sit
uation and confuse the minds of the
members. Intelligent action by the
members on the job alone can save
the organization. The l. w. w. must
be taken into the hands of its mem.
bers so it can function in industry as
an association of genuine industrial
unions and be immune from capture
or destruction by political takers or
agents Of the employing class.
1.-THE principal cause of the present
trouble is Capitalization of power at
headquarters. This makes it possible
for few officials in control Of the gen.
eral Office to cause disruption thruout
the entire organization. If the mem,
bers are to derive any further benefit

troll of the organization and abolish
