SUMMON A POSSE TO PROTECT THE RAILROAD CREWS This Is the First Interference Of the State of Georgia in The Strike of the Road Firemen.

DECLARE OFF STRIKE AFTER ACTION TAKEN wrr Two Offers to Move Freight Trains Were Made Yesterday, Indicating That There Is a Break Coming. Atlanta, Ga., May 2D. Georgia state officials today instructed the sheriff of Lithonia to summon a posse of sufficient size to protect and insure the movement of freight cars from Lithonia to Atlanta. This wa9 the first interference by the state in the strike on the Georgia railroad and it applied only to the situation at Lithonia. Soon after this action was taken the strike was declared off. Last night's attack on a freight train at Lithonia was a serious outbreak of racial feeling and violence. Considerable damage was done to yie brake system of the thirteen stalled freight cars and big rocks were thrown at the negro fireman on an Atlanta engine sent to pull out the freight. Although the mail train from Atlanta was allowed, without the slightest demonstration, to move the freight cars this morning so that the mall could pass, nevertheless the attitude of the community was still far from peaceful. Shows Fighting Spirit. Two offers to move the freight cars were made today, and at least one of them indicated a fighting spirit. This was practically an ultimatum from leaders among Lithonia strike sympathizers. These terms were that a brotherhood engineer and a local white fireman should be used, and an announcement that it must be distinctly understood that .only these thirteen cars of perishable' freight were to he 1 moved. The other proposition to move the freight was made through the sheriff, who offered his protection. General Manager Scott notified Assistant Chief Burgess, head of the engineers, of this offer, and Burgess accepted the sheriffs offer. Waiting on Knapp and Stewart. The arrival was awaited from Washington of Chairman Knapp. of the interstate commerce commission, and Second Assistant Postmaster General Stewart, who come at the direct instance of President Taft to investigate the strike situation on the Georgia railroad with a view to aiding in bringing' about a settlement. It was not known along what lines these men would proceed in considering the situation, but there was a general feeling that since they come as the direct agents of the president and at his earnest solicitation, something definite and satisfactory would be accomplished without much further delay. Arbitration Possible. The arbitration feature of the Georgia railroad strike was simplified today. It was announced that General Manager Scott, of the railroad, now has full power to say whether or not there shall be arbitration for every mile of track covered by Georgia trains. - Up to today Mr. Scott could speak only for the Georgia railroad proper, but not for the action of the Atlanta Joint Terminals company, controlling the tracks and yards in this city affected by the srike. Fourth Vice President and General Manager Evans, of the Louisville & Nashville railroad who, with Mr. Scott is a director of the Atlanta Joint Terminals company, left here last night They reached an understanding" that Mr. Scott could epeak for the directors of the terminals company and say whether or not this company, together with the Georgia railroad, would accept Governor Smith's proposition for arbitration. Some of the firemen on the mail trains today were negroes and others were non-union white men. Feeling Along the Line. Along the line the feeling was de(Continued on Page Three.)

Low Advertising Rates vs.

Many advertisers are constantly quarreling about ratesalways asking for tower rates. They seem to think they , have achieved a victory when a newspaper cuts its rate. As a matter of fact, the advertiser should be afraid of cut rates and not afraid of an increase of rates. When a newspapa eats its rate, it is scared and conscious of its own weakness. When it raises its rates or sticks to its rates, it is aware of its strength and strong in its belief to convince others of Us merits. It has been customary for several years for the competitors of the Palladium to charge it with all sorts of things. AU those who an aware of the general business conditions realize that all competitors spend their time assaulting the strongest of the crowd. The Palladium is always the target in Richmond because it absolutely adheres to its rates and because it absolutely has the circulation which it claims. The Palladium has the largest circulation; it abo carries the most advertising. Is this not enough to make its competitors sit up and take notice ? The total circulation regularly exceeds 5,000. Last year the circulation of the Palladium averaged over 5,400 gross. Today the circulation of the Palladium is in excess of 5,500 gross and over 5,200 net paid. The advertising rate is based on a circulation of 5,000, so we are giving our advertisers a good full measure.
