MACHINIST STRIKE
STILL CONTINUES,
Eighty-Five Drop Tools in
Macon.
A DEMAND FOR HIGHER WAGES
All Machinists in Central Railway
Shops in Macon Demanded More
Pay and Quit Work When Their De
mand Was Refused.

The eighty five machinists employed
in the Central Railway shops at Ma
con, and who went on strike Tuesday
because their demand for q ten per-
cent increase was refused, are still
out. The machinists were receiving
$3Ia day and asked an advance to So 80
per day, or ten per cent increase in
their wages. This demand could not
be complied with, they were told, be-
cause the roads business did not war
rant this further outlay. The strike
grew out Of the readjustment of machi-
nists' pay::at the Savannah shops of the
Central, which were advanced to So &c
per day recently, upon the PROPOSE
ton that it cost employees more to live
in Savannah than elsewhere. When
the Macon machinists asked for the
same increase given the Savannah en-
pIoyes it was refused, and the strike
resulted.

And varied and various were the var
nished vocal ventures made as these
sons o'guns declared themselves sons
o'toil. Not one OF them but who was a
worker, they said.
Even some of the wenches of the
red wrapper class put up plea in the
hope of sidestepping the changing,
but to little purpose. Some of them
had probably never done days work
II all their lives, and evidence of this
was presented.
Just few of those tried yesterday
jumped the stockade by scratch,
while others went to the coop to await
a further hearing.
This roundup was but forerunner
of others that are coming.
The Migrants are here; plenty OF

the changing awaits them, A few
black birds got wise to the situation
and have lit out already, but others
here are going to wait and take the
chances.
Bunch them all, black, white anG
yellow. and rid the city of their unde
sirable presence.

COUNTY BOARD MAY ASSEMBLE

In Call Meeting to Fix Tax Rate For
Year.
The board of County Commissioners
of Sumter will probably meet at an
early date now to levy the tax rate for
the current year, to the end that Col
lector Brown Small may get busy with
the taxpayers. Owing to the absence
of Mr.. j w. Wheatley, member of the
board, from the city the matter has al
ready been deferred for some time, but
now that Mr.. Wheatley has returned
home an early meeting is expected.
1t is generally believed that the state
and county rate this year will be mate.
rally reduced from that of last year,
which was about one per cent.
