May 2CTke Georgia Kailroad hfis been unable to move any trains over its own lines since niikl nisht Saturday, the strike having them completely tied up. Several freight trains., were msent dmt. over other lines tins morning manned by regular en Kineers and negro firemen. It.. v t tiought probable that an agreement will be reached today as the road scorns unable to move trains without acceding to the demand of strikers. The mail agent is delivering mail aryl is able to reach most places served by the road. There'has been no dis order since Saturday, the' strikers re maining away from the trains be cause of the race issue involved. In the objection to negro firenien the strikers have the sympathy;, of tho country people and this attitude to wards them by the people has helped tliem largely. . . - Governor Hoke Smith today called upon the officials of the Georgia Rail road and the officers of the. firemen's i.iganization to name three citizens each to act as an arbitration commit tee in an etfort to bring about a set tlement of the. strike. It is expected that this committee will bo iiameU at once. . ; " ' ; " Augusta, jGa., May . - 24:1-Gen,eral Manager Scett jpf th..eorgta vItaU roatl, has aecHnea'tK" nor Smith s propositi proposition tor arbitra EXAMINATION- TODAY To Determine .Whether or Not Early Has Leprosy.
