HEAVY LOSS TO SELMA
TROUBLE IN THE SOUTHERN
 RAILWAY SHOPS.
As Result Superintendent Dodson Has Ordered That Heavy Work Hereafter Be Done in At
 lanta and Knoxville.
Advertiser Bureau,


 Selma, Dec. 14. Since the strike at the Southern shops in this city several months ago there has been trouble between the workmen that have since been employed there and the Iailroad officials and this difference has reached such point that at any time the mechanics there are liable to walk out. Since the strike one union man has been employed and he has been melting the workmen to quit, promising thtm r. cog hilton by the Machinists Union. Friday evening this man was notified that he was discharged. At noon today four or five other men also quit work, one claim ing that thare was a difference of SIS between himself and the company for work he had done at Anniston and for which he could get no settlement, while the others quit out Of sympathy. The rest of the employees are very much dis satisfied.
 Besides the unpieasantness between the men and the company this trouble will indirectly cost Selma many thousand dol Iars, for Friday evening Superintendent Dodson of the Southern was here, and after hearing of the matter, issued or ders that all heavy work that there was to be done at the shops should in the fu- ture be sent to Atlanta and Knoxville. There are at present six badly torn up engines at the shops which means an expenditure of nearly S25,0O0 to repair them. Two of these engines will be sent to Knoxville tomorrow and two to Att Ianta. while the other two will be sent to one of these places a few days later. In the future, Cnly light repair work, for a while at least, will be dCne at the Selma she ps.
