The Panama Road Makes
a Move
AGAINST THE STEVEDORES.
Claims That the Pacific Mail Is
Given an Advantage.
A LIVELY WAR IS PROMISED.
Stevedores VIII Not Accept a Forty.
Cent Steamers for the
Stockton Route.

The Panama Railroad Company has COM
menced war on the stevedores, and through
Herman & Milo will try TO establish a
rate of 40 cents an hour TO cut that of 55
cents sD hour heretofore paid for hand
ling the cargoes of the Keweenaw, Saturn
and Progreso.
Herman & Milo. who will have charge
OF the loading and discharging of the
steamers TO be engaged by the Panama
Railroad Company. will unload the Saturn,
which is due here in few days, by the aid
of men hired regardless of their connection
with the Riggers' and StevedoTes' Union.
Some lively times are expected along the
front in consequence.
The firm ment toned argues that the Pa
cifc Mail Steamship Company, Oceanic
Steamship Company and the Pacific Coast
Steamship Company have all OF their
SteYedoring done at a contract rate OF 80
cents an hour. experiencing no opposition
from the union, and that they see no just
reason why the Panama company, that
expects TO thrive bv competition and to
maintain a permanent line of vessels be-
tween this city and Panama, should pay
nearly double much TO have their mer-
chandise handled.
This argument seems plausible enough
the members of the StevedoTes' Union
contend against cut with equally logical
strength.
They say that their reasons for accept
ing 8 30-cent rate are based upon the fact
that the Oceanic, Pacific Mail and Pacific
Coast steamship companies give their men
steady work.
''You know that outside concerns only
give US odd jobs" said member of the
union yesterday. I'VE do not get work
from them often. and therefore cannot
afford TO work for them at reduced hourly
rate.
1.-The North American Navigation Com
pany only had three steamers in operation,
and some of our men who obtain regu ar
work from that lnsti' ution only aveIa aged
about one weeks time per mouth.
III we had worked for that company for
30 cents an hour we would have had to
make the same proposition to number of
small concerns and to private vessels that
load or discharge at this city.
1.-The Panama Railroad is. so we under
stand, going to run only two steamers.
Work for stevedores will be scarcer than
ever. Ii a low rate of wages is ssiab-
lished 1t will be almost impOss BILE for half
of our members to earn a living.
For some time the rate for pieeework,

hour.
I'VE will not accent 40 cents from the
Panama Railroad. You just wait md see
now we'll they get along with green horns. :"
Thus it is that the new line finds t,elf
in a very peculiar position.
II is asked to pay nearly twice as much
as its coml etitor. the Pacific Ma !. for

STATE NORMAL SCHOOL.
The Annual Commencement at Mil
ledgeville in Progress.

Milledgeville, Ga, June 4.-The com
mencement of the State Normal and In
dustrial College is under way. The crowds
surged through the building to-day look
ing at the display of the work done in the
normal, industrial, collegiate and art de-
partments of the college. These exer-
cises and displays are a very unusual
feature in the college commencements in
Georgia. They are fascinating exhibits
in the normal model school rooms of in
dustrial work-drawing sand and
clay modelling, the mounted specimens of
plant and insect life, and all the other
work of the children done under the critic
and student teacher in the normal de-
partment. The visitors are also interested
in the Swedish gymnastics, a wonderful
variety of scientific movements under
Miss Bowden, of the junior class, and the
classes OF stenOgraphy and typewriters
at work in the presence of large crowds
under the skilled instruction of Miss
Julia A. Elisch.
The reception by the graduates in the
dressmaking department, all rugged out
in bewitching tinery of their own making,
catches the applause of the crowd, as
usual. The work of Mrs. Crowell and
Mrs. Thealy has yielded excellent results
this year
Inc geullemen seem TO De even more
enthusiastic than the ladies over the
work done by the cooking classes. Every
college graduate here must take this
cooking course.
TIE displays in the collegiate rooms all
evincc the fact clearly and strongly that
a very able and faithful corps of teachers
are in charge. The work is manifestly
thorough and the curriculum is certainly
upon a par with the highest grade Of
work done in any college for girls in the
south
The display in free-hand and Industrial
drawing is up TO the very highest stand
ard. Miss Florence A Fitch from Pratt
Institute, Brooklyn, is the teacher in
charge and the exhibit of her classes is
exceedingly beautiful.
The bookkeeping display of the work of
every student in that class impresses one
as being very high average of such
work. Evidently very good work has been
done here by the students and teachers.
The art work of the pupils of Miss Ellis
makes the assembly hall very attractive.
There is a great variety of work, and
many pieces of decided merit.
The morning has been enlivened by the
music of Mrs. Lamar's pupils. The
music work of the school is decidedly ex-
cellent.
One thing that impresses all is the
earnest, student-like demeanor of the
nearly 400 Georgia girls. The final exer-
cises of graduation day will occur to-
morrow.
