Weald Be Unionists. In addition to these charges against the employers, the employers' representatives In their report, according to Walsh, say: "We say frankly tnat if we were wage earners we would be unionists and as unionists we would feel the keen respon sibility of giving the same attention to our trade union duties as to our civic duties."

Aug. 21. Gov ernor Harris let it be known today; that the people of Georgia would re-j sent outside Interference or advice in , dealing with conditions growing out of the lynching of Leo M. Frank. He said: "If the" members of the mob are brought to Justice it will be through the efforts of Georgia officials and j courts, supported by the sentiment of the citizens of the state and not through the newspaper editorials and i resolutions of indignation and offers j i of rewards coming from other states. ' "I am afraid these things will only serve to aggravate a situation that al ready Is deeply humiliating to our people and If they continue will eventuate In a great deal more harm than good." Announces Conference. So far as the public la advised, the only forward step taken In connection with the lynching today was the announce-1 ment that the governor soon would ask j the prosecuting officials of Baldwin and j Cobb counties to confer with him on I what future action shall be taken. The I state prison farm Is in Baldwin county I and Frank's hanging, so far as known, I took place In Cobb county.
