MACHINISTS' WAGE SCALE.
Delegation VIII Meet seaboard
OnicIaIs in Portsmouth,

A delegation from the machinists en-
ployed in the shops of the Seaboard Air
Line will hold a conference in Ports
mouth tomorrow morning with President
John Shelton Williams, Vice President ].
NJ. Bar. and Superintendent of Motive
Power V. E. McBee. The railroad Of
lcials and machinists will eudeavor to
bring about a satisfactory adjustment of
all differences and may help to avoid the
strike that is threatening this branch Of
the railroad world.
The shops of the Seaboard Air Line sys-
tenn are located at Tallahassee. Fernan-
dina. Abbeville, Raleigh, Americas, Ports
mouth and Savannah, and each of these
places will send delegates to the confer
ence. Mr.. r. r. Rucker will represent
Savannah, and left for Portsmouth last
night. He is employed in the shops in
this city, and was selected by the local
machinists. There are in the neighborhood
of eighty representatives of this branch
of labor here.
The machinists throughout the country
desire to have the wage scale adjusted
and are working with that end in view.
They want working day of nine hours
and an increase of 1919 per cent; or in
other words, ten hours pay for nine
hours work. They desire too that a sat
isfactory scale be arranged for overtime
work. The international Association of
Machinists is behind the move. and about
10000 men are directly involved.
President James OConnell of the ma
chinists association stated early last
week that unless something was done at
once to adjust matters, there would be a
general strike, in which some 10000 would
be indirectly affected. The general strike
was expected then to take place on Mon
day. Further negotiations are to be made,
however. and matters may be arranged
to the satisfaction of all parties con-
cerned.
The outcome of the conference with
the Seaboard officials in Portsmouth IS
awaited with interest. 1t may be, ac-
cording to President O'Connell, that there
will be a strike, even though some of the
roads agree to give what is asked for
The head of the national organizat ton saws

Reduced and Then Paid.

The motion for new trial in the case
of the state. against Charles F. Wiehrs.
which has been pending for some weeks
in the Superior Court, was dismissed by
Judge Falligant yesterday, upon the mo-
ton of counsel for the defendant.
Another order, granted by Judge Falli-

prisonment six months in the county Jail.
The fine was paid.
Wiehrs was indicted for assault with
intent to murder William Cox, an engin-
eer in the employ of the Seaboard Air
Line Railway, of which corporation the
defendant was also an employe. The
jury found the defendant guilty of shoot
ing not in is own defense, and recommend
ed him to the extreme mercy of the
court. A motion for a new trial was filed
soon after the rendition of the tury's YER
dict, and has been pending since. 1t

C0UNTYS TAX RATE.
Figures That Seem to Indicate an

Increase for This Year.
An inspection OF the tax books and 9TH

the Office of the County Commissioners
certainly gives ground for the prevalent
fear that this year there will be an in
crease in the county rate of taxation.
The commissioners refuse to commit

increase in assessed values Of
something like 81. 600. II the assessed
values of property returned for taxation
remain what they were last year, the
rate of taxation must be increased from
S. % per thousand to about IS per thou
sand.
This is on the assumption that the
total amount of money authorized in the
budget finally approved by the grand jury
is expended by the county authorities. The
increase for this year is $27,576.9S At the
rate OF 81. % per thousand. it requires an
increase in values of about four and a
half millions to make this good.

The five Screven county murderers left
yesterday morning for Sylvania where
tomorrow they will be resentenced to

The condemned men expressed no fear
of returning to Sylvania and said that
they do not expect TO die before the day
named by the judge.
They realize full we'll that they must
pay the death penalty and are devoting
all of their time in preparing their souls
for another world. Every man is salts

he TAX levy lot IJVJs LOT StdnCet Is
considerably less than the amount
of the budget. This is caused
by the fact that some money is
brought each year into the county treas
ury from the tax on railroads and rail-
road property, which is collected exclu-
sively by the state, and from delinquent
back taxes which are paid.
1t is possible that the County Commits
sioners will be able to effect a consider
able saving in expenditures. While they
can't spend larger amount than is APP
proved by the grand jury, they are al
ways allowed perfect liberty, if they can
do so consistently with the effective con-
duct of the county business, to spend less.
1t is possible, too. that there will be
remarkable increase in the tax digest.
Both of these things may concur to pre-
vent the otherwise inevitable increase in
the rate of taxation, but without one or
the other or both. II is certain that the
tax rate will have to be increased.
