THE BOSSES TALK 1T OVER.
8he Circular of the knights of Labo
to the Boss Bakers.

Ahe Circular of the knights of Labor
to tire Boss Bakers.
Nearly all OF the boss bakers in the city
met yesterday morning at Turner's Han
6n pursuance Of a call published in the
NEWS. The meeting was to consider a
circular addressed 10 the boss bakers by
the Knights OF Labor. The knights want
SO hours to make aweeK'swOrk and asked
10 have Saturday or some one day made
Pay day, and they want the bosses to en-
ploY none but Knights OF Labor.
There was no objection to paying the
Sourneymen weekly, and that part Of the
circular was easily disposed OF.
AS TO employing none but Knights, the
bosses thought that could be amicably
diXed up. From what the bosses said il
seemed that one OF the greatest troubles
Hhey have IS with some OF their journey
men, who do not always show up on sun
day or even Monday. Some Of the bosses
said that the circular was inspired by GER
Gain jOurneynen who have lost their
places through going on sprees. Unrelia-
BILE bakers are the bane OF the bosses ex-
istenee.
Now and from timeimmernorial bakers
have worked seven days week. Man
will not stop eating one day In the week,
and large percentage Of mankind wants
fresh bread every day. To fill the want
and the man bread bakers are accus-
5omed to work from ? p. m. 20
a. M. 365 days in the year. No way OF
lessening the hours. that was doomed
practicable, was suggested. A commit
ace was appointed, however, TO take all
OF the questions presented in the circular
under consideration.
All or the bosses agreed that no money
was made last year in the baking busI-
ness. AS evidence that IL was a bad year
tne fact was mentioned that seven bakers
quit the business because 10 did not pay.
FOTemen and the best bread makers get
from SIS TO SO week. Less skilled helm
Is paid from $40 to $3a week, Cake ba-
kers get from $40 to SD.

THE Y. NC. AS BIG WORK.
STATE SECRETARY WILLIAMS
AT TRINITY CHURCH.

he Tells How the Sunday Liquor Law 10
0bservedin observation-disclosures with
Their Front Doors Open and Young
Men Around the Bars-What n Police
man Said to Hfm-160 of the 200 Sa-
looms In the City Open ON sunday.
At Trinity Church last night the pas
tor, Rev. T. T. Christian, introduced Mr.,
M. b. Williams. Mr.. Williams spoke at
the Young Mems Christian Association
meeting in the afternoon. He Is Secre-
tary Of the association for Georgia, and
last night he spoke on the work Of the as
ISOLATION. BE stated that it is reaching
out especially for the young men. Few
people realize, he observed, what an i'm.
pOrtant element the young men form. In
business Of all sorts, factories, stores,
banks-everywhere, they compose three
fourths Of the force. In the jails and pen
itentiaries, too, they are largely in the
majority. Out of $3.50 prisoners sent TO
tue Chicago house Of correction in one
year 400 were between the ages Of Ia
and q and $500 were between Il and 30.
Mr.. Williams said that he was told yes
terday morning that there were 200 sa-
looms in Savannah and that they were all
closed on Sunday. He thought that If 1t
was impossible to get drink ia SaYan-
nah on Sunday, tins was the only city Of
which he knew where such thing was
impossible. To fad out whether the as
sertion was true the Secretary said that
ne walked around town and II was not
long before he sawa place where some
young men were going in and coming
out. He went up to the door, walked In
side and called for a drink. There were
several young men about the counter
quafing beer and other liquors. In re-
ply TO the white aprOned bar tenders
"Whats yours, STRIP
Mr.. Williams said:
Beer"
A moment later glass OF the foaming
beverage was placed on the polished
counter, but Mr.. Williams said he left n
untasted, satisfied that it was not imPos-
sfbIe to get all the liquor one wants in
Savannah on sunday. The speaker add
ed that he pursued his investigation fur
Their, and he stated that he was in three
or four other places during the day, but
he did not mention any names.
A policeman told him, he said, that 150'
barrooms of the 2o0are open ON Sunday.
Mr.. Williams said on his own account
that Of every ten men who enter saloons
nine are young men.
One set of young men that Christian
associations are after is the drummer.
Talking about commercial men, Mr.. Viii
hams said that he was recently mistaken
for one himself. He was in a
hotel parlOT in this State
writing. He had his Bible
lying on the table. An elderly lady picked
it up and glanced at something that was
written on fiy-leaf. The lady's daughter
looked over her mothers shoulder, and,
seeing what the book was, exclaimed,
evidently with much surprise "Why,
didn't know that drummers ever read the
Bible"
"a great many other people have the
same idea about drummers," Mr.. Will
Jams concluded.
