In the absence of President Tiff Mr.
VIM. B. Stillwell of Savannah pre-
sided; Elwood C. Harrer was secre-
tary. Much routine and other work
was transacted by the meeting. That
around which the greatest interest
centered was the unanimous adoption

beyond the Ohio river. and that subse-
quent events have more than verified
every declaration made at the time, as
shown by the reports of members here
to-day and others who made written
reports to the secretary.
Wholesale Generalization among the
mills in Georgia and Florida, in all
Western business, has accordingly fol-
lowed in the wake Of this action by the
railroads, which not one of them will
dare gainsay in the face OF conditions
that Is no longer matter of sDecula-
tion, but stern and baleful reality to
an industry that but a few short weeks
ago was in a most flourishing and pros
porous condition. According to the
resolutions the manufacturers are ter
ribly In earnest in the work they have
undertaken, and to-day stand face to
face with condition sfor which a rem
edy must speedily be found, or a once
powerful and prosperous industry must
languish and fall by the way side. The
resolutions go on to say the conditions
are desperate and drastic measures
will be resorted to II necessary.
The association decided on an official
inspector of lumber for Georgia and
for Florida. one to be located in Jack

This is regarded as a long step in the
direction of bringing about a uniform
inspection throughout the yellow pine
territory of the South. A consurnma-
ton long sought by the lumber people.
Important committees were appoint
ed, whose work will be submitted to
the next meeting of the association.

CHARLESTON'S "CRUM"
VICTIM OF SWINDLERS.
Is Among the Dupes of IA "Get-Rich-
Quick" Concern.

Charleston, S. c., Aug. 25.-In addi-
ton to his various troubles as collec-
tor of the port, w. D. Crum has al
lowed the famous Daniels gang of New
York operators Of get-rich-quick"
schemes to fasten their tanks into him.
Another Charleston victim is AIonzo
c. Cambridge, colored, a cigarnaker by
trade. 1t is not known how much
money Crun and Cambridge are out
of pocket but the list of victims in
the possession of the assistant district
attorney of New York state, who is
prosecuting the case against Daniels,
includes the names of Collector Crum
and Cambridge.
The case against Daniels will be call
ed in New York tomorrow. He and
his gang operated a brokerage and
printing business. They had offices on
Wall street, and did a thriving bust
ness. They sent letters to parties in
all parts of the United States, stating
that they were promoting a great
money-making scheme, and for a GER
tain sum would give a tip that would
let the party In on the ground floor.
and that they would soon become rich
They dealt in stocks and bonds. and
organized companies that never
amounted to anything. Circulars were
sent broadcast over the country. and
many people allowed themselves To he
duped in the wildcat concerns. The
circulars always requested the money
in advance.
The case against Daniels is attracting
unusual interest. The victims are q
class of people of far greater inteI,i-
gence than. those generally Interested
IN get-rich" propositions. MANY OF
Daniels victims are inventors.

WHARF LAB0RERS
STRIKE AT BRUNSWICK.
Lumber shippers Importing Men to
Load Ships.

Load Ships.
Brunswick, Ga, Aug. 25.-Only one
force of laborers, employed directly by
the lumber merchants of Brunswick,
went to work this morning on the river
front, strike by the longshoremen now
being on.
The laborers are demanding an in
crease of 215 cents per hour. This, the
different stevedores of the port have
granted, but the lumber merchants.
with the single exception of the South
ern Pine Company, have decided to
stand pat, and no increase will be
granted.
1t is understood that the Southern
Pine Company has granted the increase,
owing to the fact that they now have
several vessels in port which are com
PEELED to be loaded at once. AS soon
as the fleet sails, it is said, the company
Will join the others and refuse to grant
the increase.
The strike was looked for last week.
but the laborers laid the plans and con-
tinued work. This was done in order to
get the non-union men in line, and dur
ing last week just 252 names were add
ed to the membership rolls of the labor
union, and yesterday morning several
gangs refused to go to work, while this
morning all those employed directly
by the lumber merchants and not by
the stevedores refused to go to work.
1t is understood that the lumber peo-
pie have sent to other ports for men,
and they are expected to arrive dur
ing the week, While the strike has
greatly interferred with shipping, still
the merchants are able to secure
enough men to load vesseE, and 1t is
expected that imported labor will be
here to take the places of those who
have gone out
The loborers who have quit work
have held their jobs in season and out
for many years. The men working the
hold receive a little more that those
of other ports, while the men working
on the wharves are paid a trlfie less.
But not only the outside men are de-
handing raise, but those who work
in the hold as we'll (
No trouble is anticipated, and it is
generally thought that the strike will
be settled before it takes a serious
turn.
