A. c. s. MACHINISTS
 ARE OUT ON STRIKE
Demand the Discharge of Roundhouse Foreman, Claiming He Is Not
 Friendly to Unions.

A strike has been declared by the ma- chinsts in the shops of the Alabama Great Southern railroad and the men have all stopped work.
 The strikers claim that the roundhouse foreman, under whom they have to work, is not a friend of union labor and they demand his discharge. This is the only cause of grievance. the men asking neith- CT more wages nor shorter hours.
 Superintendent A. Griggs of the Ala bama Great Southern said yesterday con- cerring the strike:
 ''The men simply demanded that we dis charge the foreman of the roundhouse and we refused to do so. The machinists are alone affected as they are the only ones working under the roundhouse fore man. I think about fifteen men have quit work"
 P. H. Moore, business agent of the ma chinists' unions of this district, gave his view of the case as follows:
 Our men refused to work under fore man who is antagonistic to union labor. The local officers of the railroad refused to discharge him and we have taken the matter up with the general officers of the road. We expect to hear from them and to have the matter strengthened up in two or three days. There are all told about forty men out.'

 Judge L. R. Watts of Portsmouth. Va. general counsel for the Seaboard Air Line, was in Birmingham yesterday. He came to confer with John F. Tllman, att torney for the line, and pass upon cer- tain matters relating to the Seaboard' s rights of way fin Birmingham and the Birmingham district. He said that he in ha tory shape and that nothing at all stood in the way of the construction of the com panys approaches to the city.
 Maj. J. w. Bushnell. chief engineer of the Seaboard's new work is here and ex- poets to let the contracts for grading in and around Birmingham within the next few days. He reports that the work of grading between Irondale and Coal City is progressing satisfactorily and that the reconstruction work on the East and West between Coal City and Rockmart, Ga, is being pushed Major Bushnell says that of the forty odd miles between Rockmart and Atlanta, thirty-seven miles have been "signed up' for grading and that the rest is practically let. There will be one tunnel between Rockmart and Atlanta, but it Is not quite so long as the Hardiwick gap tunnel between Coal City and Birmingham. The grading on the Georgia end Is to be completed in eight months and the grading on the Alabama end Is to be finished during the summer It will not take long to lay the tracks and just as soon as the line from Coal City is ready for the cars through trains of the Seaboard will run into Birmingham, even though the road from Atlanta to Rockmart be not finished as soon as the Birmingham division is. Temporary ar rangements will be made if necessary, by which the East and West can be reached from Atlanta.

 Mayor ". M. Drennen has been ap- pointed a separate committee of one to entertain the ladies of the parties He was instructed by President Roden to make whatever arrangements he thought necessary and to see that the ladies were properly entertained.
 Probable Programme.
 The usual programme for these visits will rrobably be changed.
