Hammit is still in town but may leave 
tonight.  I went in to the history of the 
organization and Hammit claims he was 
standing by Mullinax when he ordered the 
engine rocked and he begged Fleming 
not to do so.  I pawned my pistol for 
$2 and loaned Hammit one dollar, and 
very likely he will be in town tomorrow.  
I later saw W.E. Fleming and he told me 
he was standing by looking on when 
Wilson hit Sims.  Earnest Daniel 
stated he saw Mrs. Smith on a white-hall 
street car, but I have been unable to 
locate her.  Mrs. Conboy came in town 
yesterday and left again this am after 
conferring with Mullinax and Wilson.  
Mullinax stated she was closing up 
some business matters and instructing 
him.  Mullinax met several on the 
street and after talking to them about 
future organizing, told them to get to 
work if possible.  I went to the 
labor temple where Nicholas Smith, 
organizer and vice President of the International 
Moulders spoke for sometime.  I 
reported the Moulders plans several 
days ago.  The Atlanta store works 
were scored and Loui Marguardt, 
Jerome Jones, A.B. Marks, and others 
takened a shot at the Manufacturing 
Association and advocated co operations 
among the unions to prepare to fight 
the association.  Mullinax relieved 
himself of some hot air of his great 
work, and stated that Mr. Golden had now 
figured that with co operation of 
other crafts, the entire south would 
be organized in from 2 to 5 years 
and that Textile organizers were 
presently awaiting favorable legislation 
which we hope to get thought this 
year.  Mullinax was wearing an 
English dress suit and a derby hat.  
All of Mullinax talk now is bosh 
and it is only a habit that causes him 
denounce the mill official and tell 
his position with the Textile people.  
In searching for Mrs. Smith, I find 
a Mr E.B. Smith is registered at the 
Marion Hotel and has not been in the 
hotel for 2 days and some mail is 
there for him and I will see if it is 
not Callahon posing as Smith.  Mrs. 
Nation, Mrs. Cuffie Smith are willing 
to testify against Wilson and if Earl 
Herndon was arrested and confronted 
with Hammits affidavit he would easily 
tell the tale as would L.G. Fleming and 
Luther Cotton he being the most uncertain one.

I am very carefull in building this 
case and am in no danger whatever 
and the conviction of Wilson and 
Mullinax now means lots to us 
in the future besides affidavits 
secured now from Union Men and 
Women should be takened now and 
kept for future reference should 
the Industrial Commission ever come 
here as 9/10 of them will swear 
they were mislead and later put 
down helpless and naked.  Stone and 
Webster of Dallas Texas won a fight 
once by having such records as evidence 
still they were 4 years old, still I can't 
be the one to take the testimony as I 
would have to give testimony as others 
but I can easily coach my side of 
the game for your information and I am 
quite sure the Ga [...] and Power Company 
does not know it, the Jitney Bus Company 
are selling out cars and motorcycles 
and intend to quit operation by July 1st 
according to Mr. Burns who has 
charge of the Ivy Street Garage and 
owns two cars.  He was visiting the union 
meeting and told me confidentially that 
they were going out of business and only the

Main office knew of it, on 
account of protection against being 
enjoined from selling their cars pending 
some damage suits, he asked me to 
keep it a secret.  At 11:30 pm I discontinued 
and returned home.  
Respectfully,
