THEY WANT HIGHER WAGES.
Carpenters and JOiners Make De-
mand Upon the Contractors.


mand Upon the Contractors.
The master builders and contractors of
Savannah were notified yesterday of the
determination of the journeymen carpen-
ters and joiners to demand an increase in
wages and material shortening in the
hours of labor, before the first of May 1t
is probable that there. will be conflict
10 h of opinion and action before the mat
ter ends.
The notice received by the master build
ers and contractors was from both the
white and colored camps of union carpen-
ter labor in Savannah. It contained the
information that in the future there
would be a scale of wages, ranging from
81 to 50 and SO So The notice sent to the
contractors bore the stamp of the Savan-
nah Trades Union.
The demand made upon the mas
ter builders is that they shall
agree upon a scale demanded by
the union and that nine hours
shall constitute a days work 1t is init
mated by some of the contractors who
were seen in reference to the demands
of the union laborers that an increase of
wages might perhaps be granted, but that
the demand for shorter hours was I'M
suited to the spirit of the times in this
part of the country. and was very far
from accomplishment.
One master builder said that
journeymen carpenters in Savannah who
are worthy receive from $1.75 to SIPS per
day. and that the foremen of the gangs
employed upon work receive from $3.50 to
81 per day. The difference between the
wages already paid and the demands of
the Carpenters and Jointers' Union is
not very material.
NIok
there were certain reasons that render
just and proper the demands of the two
unions, and that he expected to witness
az least slight increase in wages within
the next six months HIS reasons for
making this announcement were that the
prices of building material and all other
substances in the market and of house
hold necessities had ma terially increased
within the last few months and that it
was proper enough that the increase in
wages, paid to the labor that rendered this
increase in value possible, should be paid
also
AS to the demand of the carpenters and
joiners for nine hours schedule of work,
the contractors are not quite so acquies-
cent. They are very far from entertain
ing the belief that such a schedule is either
practicable or proper and on the contrary,
hold to the opinion that the scheme will
not work The contractors seem to think
that everything they do fos the benefit of
their labor will be not only just, proper,
generous and beneficial both to employee
and employer. but helpful to the best in
terests of the city in which they are all
interested. Hence they are willing and
anxious to undertake it, whenever the re-
cepts or the prospective receipts warrant
it. The number of other laborers and 9TH
er mechanics employed in approximately
the same work as are they, however, rem
ders it impracticable to fix different scale
of hours, and 1t is unlikely they say
that the carpenters and joiners will be
granted a reduction

CLAIMS FOR STATE PENSIONS.

The applications for Confederate pen
sions in the three classes to which they
are granted by the state, widows, indi-
gent and manned or crippled Confederate
soldiers, are now being signed at the Of
flee of the clerk of the Court of Ordinary.
Judge Ferrill requests that those who
are entitled to pensions should call at his
Office and sign these applications, the
blank forms for which have already been
received and prepared for their signatures.
These applications are for pensions for
the pending year, 1900, and the request
of the Ordinary relates therefore only to
those who have not already made appli-
cation. Those who have need not repeat
the visit to the office unless they are no.
titled by the Commissioner of Pensions that
further evidence is required before they
can be placed on the list and the pen
sions to which they claim to be entitled
paid by the state.
The widows pensions will be paid by the
commissioner, in Atlanta, Feb. Is, and the
claims of the crippled soldiers on March
10. The amounts to be paid each claim
ant in the respective classes are the same
that have been paid in the past, and that
the pensioners have heretofore received.
In all there are twenty-eight widows
pensions granted to persons residing In
this county, and nineteen crippled soldiers
and twenty INDECENT soldiers who draw
yearly stipends from the state. Blank
applications for pensions may be had of
the Commissioner of Pensions, John w
Lindsay, or from the Ordinary of the coun-
ty, 10 whom the commissioner has sent
a number for distribution. 1t is wise for
applicants to file their claims some time
before the date of the distribution, as a

BOTH WE'RE FOUND GUILTY.
jackson Goes TO Penitentiary and
johnson TO the Chain-Gang.

In the Superior Court yesterday Joe
Jackson and James johnson, two negro
men, were tried for assault with intent
to murder William Windley on Christmas
day. The men had been separately in
dicted, but the offense with which they
We're charged was idendcally the same.
There was some little difference as TO
the nature of the two mems participation
in the alleged assault with intent 10 muir
der, Johnson being said to have passed the
revolver to jackson, with which the lat
ter shot Windley. As there were separate
indictments, though, there were also sep
arate trials
The man charged with the actual as
sault was unwise enough to go to trial,
and the jury found him guilty Johnson
also entered upon the trial of the case
against him, but before ii had reached the
jury he reconsidered, upon the advice OF
his counsel his first determination, and,
Withdrawing the plea of not guilty he had
first offered substituted a plea of guilty
to be punished as for a misdemeanor, in
its stead.
1t transpired that this was much the
wiser course, for Judge Falligant, with
the verdict of guilty upon the charge made
in the indictment before his eyes SEN
fenced Jackson TO a term of five years in
the penitentiary, while Johnson got off
with misdemeanor sentence, fine of 800
and costs or a term of twelve months on
the chain-gang of the county.
Both men protested to the last that they
were guiltless of any actual Wrongdoing,
this even after Johnson had pleaded guilty
TO the indictment against him. Jackson
acknowledged that he had shot Windley,
but claimed that it was entirely accidental,
while johnson absolutely denied that he
had even so far participa ted in the as
sault as to give the revolver TO his al
legged principal. He pleaded guilty to the
Indictment, so he said, because he saw
that the witnesses were all going to swear
against him, and he thought this the bet
ter course.
The case of assault with intent to MUIR
der against Charles Carroll, that had been
assigned for yesterday. was postponed I'M
til next Tuesday at the urgent request of
the counsel for the defense, Mr., r. l..
Colding. Mr.. Colding stated that he had
been busily engaged in the trial of a num-
Der of cases during the week, and there
fore had had but little time TO give proper
attention to preparation for the defense of
the case against Carroll.
He stated further that to-day he was
counsel in the murder case against W.
S. Nell, and desired time TO complete his
preparations for this Under the circum-
stances, Judge Falligant consented to the
postponement of the trial until Tuesday OF
next week.

The Committee of Twenty VIII Be-
gin Its work Then.

The committee of twenty, appointed at
the meeting of citizens at the exchange
Tuesday 10 perfect the organization of the
citizens industrial association, select Of
hcers and adopt rules for the temporary
government of the association, viii meet
Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock at the
Metropolitan Han, at Whitaker and Sale
streets.
A strong committee has been appointed
and it is expected that every member will
be present at the first meeting. There is
considerable de all work ahead of the com
mttee, and II may not be able to complete
its work at the first meeting. When the
committee is ready to report another meet
ing of the citizens VIII be called and the
report will be submitted. If the report
be adopted. as viii doubtless be the case,
committees will he appointed to begin the
work of canvassing for subscriptions.
The result of the canvass for subserlp-
lions will furnish the true test as to
whether the citizens generally are really
interested in the work of bringing facto-
rles to Savannah. If subscriptions are
readily secured there viii be no difficulty
in placing the association upon salts
factory basis in a short time. II is prop
able that the report Of the committee VII
provide that there be no Pdld oIIlcels WIN
the exception Of the collector.
The general expression yesterday was
that the meeting at the exchange had
been very satisfactory in its results ana
that the Industrial movement had been
started on its way under good auspices.
The spirit manifested at the meeting was
a very encouraging one, and all the lhdl-
cations showed that all that was neces-
sary was to give proper direction to tne
II ia ha1i
steps to accomplish this have been taken
and that the report to be made by the
committee will furnish "a satisfactory pa
sis for an industrial union.
The plan of dividing the stock into sl0
shares with monthly subscriptions OF 50
seems to be generally acceptable. There
are some VINO think that smaller shares
with monthly assessments of 81 or 81 would
have secured a larger number of sub
scrptions among the people generally 1t
is argued, on the other hand, that those
who are able and willing TO subscribe
will make no objections TO paying 50
monthly on their shares 1t is thought
bv some that it would have been well to
make the shares $500. payable s. a month,
as the average subscriber would take one
OF these shares as readily as he would
take one to be paid up in less time. AS
II is desired however. to accumulate a
work capital at as early a date as posi-
bic. it is believed that the 800 shares pay
able IS monthly, will meet with more
general approval than any other plan
that has been suggested.

TRIED TO STRANGLE HIMSELF.
JAMES MAHER's ATTEMPT AT SUI
eide IN POLICE BARRACKS.

Made Moose of Leather Belt, Tied
1t to Ring in the Floor of His
Cell, slipped His Head Through
the Moose and Pulled 1t Tight.
Was Nearly Dead when FOund-A
FIT of MeIanchOIia Caused by
Drink the Supposed Cause of His
Attempt at Self Destruction.
James Maher attempted suicide in the
police barracks yesterday morning, and
but for the timely interference of one Of
the officers ne would unquestionably have
been successful.
The would-be suicide is a white man,
who was taken TO the barracks during
the early morning suffering from an over
indulgence in drink. He was not arrest
ed, but was taken from his home, 1t is
understood, at the request of some of his
relatives, who feared that he might be-
come violent. He was put in cell and
no further notice was taken of him until
one of the employees of the prison, hearing
a curious noise in the cell, opened the
door and found Maher strangling, and that
the unusual noise he had heard was made
by the mans gasps for breath.
A closer examination revealed the fact
that he had taken a leather belt, presum-
ably the one he wore when he entered
the cell, and had made a slip knot at one
end through which he had put his neck
after fastening the other end TO a bolt ring
in the floor of his cell. When these ar
engagements had been completed he tugged
at the moose until 1t was drawn tight, and
he was all but dead from strangulation
when found
Maher, who is quite an old man, was
at one time member of the police force,
but has not been connected with It for
some years 1t is thought that a fit of
melanchoia, resulting from drink, induced
him to make the attempt on his life.

CAN GET VACCINE POINTS.
Governor Required to Furnish Them
on Request of Ordinaries

on Request of Ordinaries
If Judge Hampton L. FerrilI of the Or
dinary's Court should call upon Gov. Cand-
Ter to furnish him with vaccine points with
which to vaccinate the people of this
county, the Governor would be legally
bound to comply with the request.
There is an old law on the statute books
of Georgia requiring the Governor to fur
nish vaccine points on the application of
the ordinary of any county. Health Of
hcer Drummer so stated yesterday, after
having his attention called to the report
published in yesterdays Morning News
that the ordinary of Early county had
called upon the Governor for vaccine
points. DR.. Drummer expressed the hope
that the ordinaries of the counties gen
orally throughout Southern Georgia would
avail themselves of the opportunity offered
by this law to obtain vaccine points and
that when obtained they would make use
of them.
There are a number of counties in
South Georgia where smallpox prevails"
said Dr. Drummer. "At present, however
the country along the line of the Georgia
and Alabama Railroad appears TO be free
from It,"
DR.. Drummer said that 1t would be a good
thing If a law should be passed enabling
the ordinaries and County Commissioners
TO enforce compulsory vaccination.
