VILLAISTAS FOUND IN CAMP OF '
AMERICAN TROOPS IN MEXICO
FIELD HEADQUARTERS, AMERI- '
CAN PUNITIVE EXPEDITION, Mex-I
ico, Nov. 17. —Followers of Francisco
Villa have been discovert ! in head
quarters camp.
Thus far, none has been molested nor
placed in the stockade with the score
captured during the southward drive
of the Punitive Expedition. They go:
about the crap openly and even re- !
ceive American gold, at the rate of
about a dollar a day, whicli is wealth ,
for a -peon.
These Villistas, however, harbor no
evil designs against the American
troops. Neither do they talk about
their affiliations with the bandit leader
For they now are Pacificos and de
clare that half of the poor people of
the southern republic would do just as
they are doing, work in a desultory
fashion for the army from the north, if
given an opportunity.
But few of the laborers stay long in
a camp. Their fear of Villa is too
great. The threat Villa has made, to
kill every man and woman who turns
a hand for the “invaders,” strikes a
chill to their hearts.
TO UTILIZE WOOD WASTE
TO MANUFACTURE PAPER
ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 17. —Enough
wood has been wasted around Geor
gia sawmills in the form of sawdust:
and slabs to supply the while United'
States with white paper for five years, 1
according to a famous chemical engi- i
neer who recently visited the state, j
Why shouldn’t this wood waste be re
claimed and turned into paper by a
plant located in the state?
J. C. McAuliffe, president of the'
Georgia Press association, accompan-1
ied by a committee from the associa-1
tion, has recently undertaken in New I
York to negotiate a contract to supply
the newspapers in the association with
white paper, and in connection kith
this contract the committee also took
up the subject of a paper plant in
Georgia with several large paper man
ufacturers.
In addition to the wood waste around ■
abandoned sawmill sites, there is a;
large quantity of waste in stumps left
in tha woods.
ATLANTA SCHOOL CHILDREN
USE OLD-FASHIONED SLATE
ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 17.—School
children of Atlanta and many other
cities may have to return to the old
fashioned slate which was used twenty
years ago, if the cost of paper keeps
on soaring.
Most of the up-to-date municipal
school departments have discouraged,
if not actually forbidden, the use of
the slate on the ground that it is
unsanitary and calculated to spread
communicable diseases.
But considerations of sanitation,
which admittedly open to some debate,
are likely to give way before stern
necessity, as the cost of even the
cheapest grades of paper has advanced
more than 200 per cent, in the -past

STRIKE OF LONGSHOREMEN
INAUGURATED AT SAVANNAH
SJAVANNAH, Gai, Nov. 17.—(Eight
hundred members of the International
Longshoremen's Association in Savan
nah have quit their jobs on the ground
that their working agreement has
been broken by one of the foremen
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1916
of the Atlantic and Gulf Shipping Co.
They claim they have not struck, but
were forced to quit work when their
scale of pay was first raised and then
j cut after an hour and a half of work,
i The longshoremen recently struck for
an increase in pay from seventeen and
a half to twenty cents an hour. This
increase was granted, they claim, but
an hour and a half after they return
ed to work they were informed that
they would have to work for the for
mer wage. The men now demand a
written contract granting them twenty
cents an hour.
